COPPER STRIKE
NOT SETTLED
Men at Kennecott Refuse to go Hack
Because Company Will Not
Employ Leaders
VALDEZ, July 24, (Hy Mail).—
Mike Clabach and Tom Utter, millmen
employed in the Kennecott mine up to
the time of the strike, arrived in Val
dez last evening, having come in over
the trail. In an interview they stated
that conditions at the mine were un
changed; that the men had volunteered
to return to work upon rccipt of a re
quest from Secretary Wilson, pending
the decision of the board of concilia
tion; that the manager of the mine
had refused to allow certain leaders ot
the strike to resume work and that the
men had thereupon refused to con
sider the proposition from any other
angle.
They stated that the men were in
permanent camp at the old roadhouse,
and had good cooks and plenty of
money to keep them provided with
food for several months to come and
that there was no agitation nor dis
| order of any kind.
The men are playing a waiting
game, realizing that the strikebreak
ers imported from Anchorage and
other points would not give the com
pany either the output nor the efh
ciency the old workmen had done, and
that it would be policy on the com
pany’s part to meet the men in a fair
settlement.
Messrs. Clabach and Rutter state
that the mine is not producing its
regular output by half, and that it is
costing the company considerable
more per ton to mine the copper un
der present conditions than with the
regular crews. They will secure em
ployment on the sound ,being experi
enced mill and tram men.
MINING NOTES
Blanks were received by the reg
istration officers at the Granby, July
14, and Charles Naud was the first
man to place his name on the list for
selective service. Mr. Naud stated,
however, that he would not allow the
registration officers to beat him to it,
but would leave in the near future for
the States to enlist in the aviation
corps.
W. S. Peckovich, owner of a group
of mining claims at Funter Bay, has;
secured a large amount of mining ma
chinery and will at once commence the
development of his property on a large
scale. He has put a crew of fifteen
! men to work on the property, and will
install the machinery as speedily as
I possible.
—V—
Nikko & Co., who are operating on
the Cebu fraction near Nome where
they have opened up a fair bunch of
pay, have had extensive supplies haul
ed out to the ground. Center creek
is not the center of industrial activ
ity it used to be in former years but
ther are still several firms taking out
some money in this old reliable creek.
♦
Some very promising prospects are
i reported to have been uncovered on
the benches of Nugget, Peters and
Cache creeks, in the Cache creek dis
trict. Much new development is plan
ned in that section this season and
the operators look for a record season.
Thorson & Co., working on Discov
ery at St. Patrick creek, in the Fair
banks district, have made a cleanup
of $5,000, the dirt going about 75c
per wheelbarrow. The pay is uniform
and they expect to clean up an average
of $6,000 per week.
