Alaska holdings still maintain the
lead, held for over a quarter of a cen
j tury, as the biggest producing mines
' of the Northland. The Bonanza cop
;per 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 chalcocite,
| or copper glance ore, a very high
grade ore.
I “Chich” Nelson, interested in a lode
I
discovery near the Chitina River,
about 40 miles above its confluence
with the Nizina, believes that upon
adequate exploration work, the pro
perty may show something big. The
vein, as disclosed by the outcrop, is a
J true fissure, about five feet in width
j and stands at about 90 degrees. The
| formation in which the vein lies is
! wThat is known as the Chittitu lime.
! Assays reveal the 22 per cent of the
lore is metal, consisting of silver, lead,
! copper nad zinc.
Three hundred ■ and twenty-three
mink valued at $14,580 were shipped
south recently by the Alaska Men
denhall Fur Farm owned by Bruce
Brown and Jackson Marsh, who
started their farm near Mendenhall
Glacier, more than three years ago.
To prevent any loss, Mr. Brown is
making the trip to act as cartaker.
Three years ago Brown and Marsh
purchased 36 mink. Since that time
including this shipment, they have
sent out 623 of the animals and have
350 left at the ranch.

According to Jack Mutchler, who
was a recent visitor in Fairbanks
from Talcotna, there is considerable
mining activity around that district.
Water, as in other districts, w'as
somewhat short, but not enough to
hinder operations to any great ex
tend. The Flume Dredging company
is operating a dredge on Yankee
creek and another one on Little
* creek, he said. Frank Joaquin’s
dredge is working on Gaine’s creek.
The Candle Creek Dredging compa
ny’s boat and the Quinen and Ames
{dredge, both of which have been idle
I for some time, are expected to re
sume operations in a year or so. In
’addition to the dredges there are sev
eral miners working on a smaller
scale.
The Kennecott Copper Corporation,
which owns and operates the Bonan
za, Jumbo and Erie mines in the
Copper River Valley, and the La
touche Island mine, paid a quarterly
dividend of $1.25 the share on Octo
ber 1, to stockholders of record on
September 2. This distribution
amounts to $5,593,030 on the 4,474,
424 shares of stock issued, and re
presents an increase of 25 cents the
share over the dividends paid in 1926
Earnings for the first part of this
year are said to have been over $3.16
per share, but part of this amount
comes from the Utah Copper Compa
ny, 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 correspondipg period
of 1926. Production was 12,150,000
pounds of copper, a decrease of 2,
400,000 pounds.

prophiatkras, under the provisions
set forth in the call for bids for this
printing and Governor Parks advised
ihe cannot make a contract until the
matter is adjusted. Under the cir
cumstances he returned all of the
bids unopened. This is the same
contract for which bids were asked
last Spring, and not withstanding the
fact that the Cordova Daily Times
offered to do the work at that time
for $497 less than its lowest compe
titor and nearly $1,000 cheaper than
the work had heretofore been done,
the Governor refused to award the I

contract, under the pretense that the
bids were all too high.
