Two new Bteel freighters, the
Bennington and Burlington, whcih
will leave Brooklyn, N. Y., j for
Seattle about February 15, will be
placed in this trade for at least
part of the year, and if the South
American trade is sufficient to
Justify the expenditure, other Bhlpe
will bp purchased and placed in
j commission.
The Kennecott Copper Corpora
tion now owns the Copper RiTer
j & Northwestern railroad, & consld
! erafclo portion of the stock in the
Alaska Steamship company, a por
tion of the Utah Coyper Company
and <bo Bonanza Jumbo and Beat
son copper properties in Alaska,
and the Tacoma smelter is owned
by one of its allied corporations.
A peculiar phase of the United
States laws enabled the company
to Dlace all of Its foldings un
der one head. One law provides
that railroad cannot own a coal
mine, and another provides (that
| a railroad cannot own a steam
' ship, if tho vessel is operated
through the Panama Canal; but
neither statute makes any
, Drovision against alining: com
pauy owning both Its own. railroad
! and its own steamships.
1 When the Kennocott Copper Com
pany began shipoing ore from its
Alaskan mines this summer, It was
paying such heavy frelghx charges
that the railroad, for the first time
In its history, wae able to pay a
substantial return on the invest
ment ot $26,020,000 which It coat
to construct It
As tae Kuuneoott was the Tail
road's principal uhipner, it decid
to acquire the road, and the stock
holders and bond holders having
the option of selling for cash or
taklug stock in the Kennocott Cop
per Corporation in return^
The Uraden Copper Company,
with immense properties in Chile,
where approximately; $15,000,000
has been expended, was acquired
in the same manner. The stock la
the Alaska Steamship Company,
acquired by tha Keiinecott Cop
per Corporation, was owned by
the Alaska Syndicate which also
owned $23,020,000 of the bonds of
the Copper River & North western
Kaidroad.
Stephen Birch, who effected the
alau* merger of Pacific coast in
terests under the Kennecott Cop
per Corporation, ia well known in
Alaska and on the Pacific Coaaat.
' He was the first, ruining engineer
' to become convinced of (be real
merits of the Bonanza t and other
Alaskan copper mines which have
:ince proved so productive.
Fabulous stories of the. amount
"f rich ore in sight at the Bonan
za mine far up in the mounatlns
u-t tho head of the Copper river,
lia4 been told in, New York and
other financial centers, but no
body believed them. Mining engi
neers treated these stories with
ikeptkai laughter. |
It couldn't possibly be true.
There never had been such a thing
anywhere in the world. The stories
became so persistent that Birch,
not having the slightest faith in
the story of the mine's fabulous
richness, but secretly hoping that
about 10 per cent of it was true,
decided to go to Alaska, He found
i' even a bigger proposition. l than
the prospectors had represented
i» to be.
1» took Birch some time to con
irnce himself lie was awake, aud
wheu he returned to New York
-' nil told about what he had found,
ether mining engineers began, to
wonder -what brand he was using.
The property was finally acquired
i-nd developed and later a rail
road was built to It. Its produc
tion for the oast three years, and
especially this summer, has vindi
cated Birch's judment.
R. W. Baxter, representative of
the transportation division of (the
enterprise, vice-president and gen
eral manager of the Alaska Siteam
ehip po. and of the Copper River
& North-western railroad, who has
Just returned from New York,
said tha.t the merging of interests
will majce no difference in. the op

"It will bring all of the business
under one head," he said, "'but
