SEATTLE, WASH.
R. E. NIXON W. 0. KINO
WHAT STEVE BIRCH SAID
TO THE CORDOVA TIMES.
The exact words used by Stephen
Birch, managing director of the Al
aska Syndicate, as quoted in the Cor
dova Timos of July 21 are worth re
production as showing the opinion of
the chief mining representative of the
Guggenheims. Mr. Birch, by the way,
will visit this part of the territory
soon. The words attributed to Mr.
Birch in the paper mentioned are:
“It was our original plan to build a
spur to the coal fields with the pos
sible extension of the railroad to the
interior but the government, in its
wisdom, saw fit to stop development
of the Copper River valley and dis
courage capital from further railroad
building. Now it is up to the govern
ment to open up and develope what
ever section of the territory it sees
fit. We will continue to operate our
own mines and provide whatever
railroad service is necessary to handle
the tonnage.”
JUNEAU.—That the body of the
man found near Juneau, Alaska, last
Thursday, with a bullet wound in
the head, is that of C. S. Stafford,
former manager of the Georgian
hotel of this city, is the belief of F. G.
Caldwell, owner of the hotel. Mr.
Caldwell says that Stafford myster
iously disappeared on the afternoon
| of June 14. Later Caldwell trailed
| the missing man to Ketchikan
through the checking of his baggage,
and a week ago a guest at the hotel
reported that he had seen Stafford at
Juneau.
Mr. Caldwell says that Stafford
evidently ended his own life. The
former manager obtained a divorce
from his wife, who is now in Montana,
several months ago, and he also had
suffered from insomnia for some little
time.—Empire.
