WATCH OUR SMOKE!
Seward is on the eve of a prosperous year. Now is
the time to let people know what you have to offer them,
l.et us all pull together and begin a campaign based on
t;,cts that outsiders may know of the wonderful undevel
oped resources surrounding Seward.
Nature has provided the raw material and it is up to
the people to do the rest. \\ ith Seward as a smelting
center, the first necessarv thing is coke. It has beeni
proven to the satisfaction of everybody that we have an
abundant supply of the l>est coking coal in the United
States situated in the Matanuska coal fields, about 175
miles haul by the government railroad to Seward.
For flux we have vast deposits of limestone located
along the line of the railroad, six miles from town.
For ores we have dozens of independent copper and
fold producing mines, situated at tide water all around
Prince William sound, to draw from, the ore from all of
which can be landed in barges carrying thousands of tons
at a minimum cost. We also have ores from undeveloped
copper properties laying on the shores of Resurrection
l.av. Then there are the ores of the interior, which in time
%
w ill be the greatest mining country on earth, and enough
development work has already been done to prove this and
it all lavs tributarv to the government owned railroad that
we know will transport ore at a moderate cost.
The names and number of these properties are too
numerous to mention. Commencing four miles out of
Seward you are in ore deposits or coal until you reach the
Broad Pass country, which is known by prospectors to be
the biggest and best mineralized zone in Alaska, and it
only awaits the coming of the railroad to furnish reason
able transportation for their ores, to jump into promin
ence as a mining center and become a large producer of
all kinds of ores which will keep a smelter at Seward
working overtime.
The big undeveloped copper proj)erties of Illiamna bay
are tributary, and also the iron mines at Port Chatham
and vicinity.
It is the conclusion of people who are posted that there
is plenty of material in and around Seward to supply a
smelter.

CAN YOU BEAT IT?
A news dispatch from Milwaukee conveys the grati-i
lying information that the gentleman who shot Colonel!
Roosevelt four vears ago. during the latter’s electioneer-!
ing visit to the city made famous by its beer, sends word
from the asvlum where he is confined that he has forgiven:
the colonel and greatly desires to make up and be friends, j
as he believes a reconciliation would contribute largely to'
I nth his health and happiness.
This generous overture will doubtless provoke a re- i
sponsive sentiment in the grateful heart of the peace-lov
ing colonel, among whose innumerable virtues a tender
regard for the welfare and wishes of those who have:
v rouged him has ever been conspicuous.
Thus, at this Easter season are the better impulses of
our nature sustained, our hearts exalted and our minds
i'fumined by a touching instance of obedience to the Scrip
tural injunction: “Verily it be meet that brethren should
dwell together in unity.”
