ALASKA UPSETS CALCULATIONS PESSIMISTS
This Professor Crocheron of the University of California
1 is a man after our own heart. He say^ that from time
to time knowledge grows and practices change, which up
sets the calculation of the pessimists.
Necessity is not only the mother of invention, but
seems to be the mother of national upbuilding. Is climate
too cold for Alaska cattle? Try mixing them with caribou
and yaks and see what cold-resisting animal we will have
that thinks nothing of wintering out in the open of an
Alaskan winter.
Do we need more grain?.
We can call on Nature and be provided with new
wheat that needs only a part of the sunshine and warmth
of the old kind. Food can be raised where it was thought
nothing but icicles and snowballs would thrive.
So the learned Professor is right. And he was think
ing of Alaska when he spoke of the growth of knowledge
and the change of practices which upsets pessimists.
When Alaska is “rocked” by an earthquake it rocks
everybody to sleep but the Eastern daily head-line writ
ers.
FINE ALASKA BUSINESS FOR SEATTLE
There are more than 400 fur farms in Alaska, with 2,500
* persons employed, using 45,000 head of stock, and rep
resenting an investment of $7,000,000. Products of the
farm supplement furs taken by trappers. • This business
averages $3,000,000 a year in volume. Most of it pass
thru the Seattle fur exchange, which in three years has
expanded from an annual business of $500,000 to more
than $3,000,000.
A1 Smith might be more popular if he would let his
whiskers grow and pose as one of the Brothers.
WE NEED MORE COMPANIES LIKE KENNECOTT
The Kennecott Copper Corporation, which owns and op
* erates the Bonanza, Jumbo and Erie mines in the Cop
per river valley, and the Latouche Island mine paid quar
terly dividends of $1.25 the share on September 2. This
information was recently made known thru an Associat
ed Press dispatch. Enlarging on the brief report the
Cordova Times states this distribution will represent an
increase of 25 cents the share over the dividends paid in
1926. Earnings for the first six months of this year are
said to have been over $3.16 per share, but part of this
amount comes from the Utah Copper Co., of which the
Kennecott now owns 96 per cent.
The mother lode coalition, controlled by the Kenne
cott Corporation, earned $557,617 in the first half of this
year, as against $$1,192,743 in the corresponding period
of 1926.
Production was 12,150,000 pounds of-copper, a de
crease of 2,400,000 pounds. The present situation indi
cates dividends will soon have to be reduced beyond the
present amount of 25 cents a share semi-annually, altho
there is no official authority for this statement.
The Kennecott Copper Corporation’s Alaska holdings
still maintain the lead, held for over a quarter of a cen
tury, as the biggest producing mines of the northland.
The‘Bonanza mine, a copper mine, has long taken its place
as among the great mining properties of the world, due to
the fact that the copper content, or at least a part of it,
appears in the form of a chalolite, or copper grance ore,
a very high-grade ore.
Egotism is the only ism in the world that needs no or
ganization to perpetuate it.
After deducting what the drys didn’t want it to be
and what the wets predicted it would be, prohibition is not
so bad after all.
The teeth in four out of five laws also have pyorrhea.
