M’BRIDE AND HUGHES
RETURN FROM MUSHING TRIP
Dr. J. L. McBride and Rev. J. L.

being built of the product instead of
logs and the camp boasts of board
sidewalks.

men are universally satisfied with the
camp conditions and have accomplish
ed a great deal of work notwithstand

ALASKA IS SURE
OF PROSPEROUS
TIMES THIS YEAR
SEATTLE, Feb. 9.—Every ounce oi
energy, every influence, large anti
small, and every atom of power at
her command is being put forward by
Alaska and her people for the biggest
and most prosperous year in her ex
istence, according to George R. Go
shaw, a copper prospector and oper
ator of the Copper River valley, says
the Times.
“We of the north are driving every
energy toward a common goal, the
permanent development of the terri
tory and I cannot help but feel that
we are approaching the best year
we have ever had there," Mr. Goshaw
said at the Frye last night. “Ev
eryone seems to have that single
thought in mind and is striving hard
for its realization.
“I worked almost the entire length
[ of the river during the last year and
I was amazed at the amount of new
work which is going ahead at a rapid
rate. This applies not only to the
mining industry, but to the fisheries
on the coast. New canneries and traps
are being made ready and the fishing
people are all enthusiastic over the
year’s prospects.
“The development work being done
on the copper properties is mostly by
the small independent operators, and
an enormous amount of ore from these
mines will be taken out during the
coming season. These people, contrary
to common outside beliefs, are receiv
ing every encouragement, and in many
cases, real assistance, from the large
interests. The belief is general, I be
lieve, that the big people there are
forever trying to squeeze out the lit
tle ones. From my own experience I
will say that nothing can be further
from the truth and there are many
who will bear me out in’ this.”
