( Continued from page 1)
other properties in the vicinity of
Copper Mountain and Kuskulina
will soon be ready to ship. Farth
er in the interior, at the Wcst
! over and other mines sufficient
work has been done to warrant
the building of trams and bring
ing out rich ore, even before the
railroad blanches are built. The
present price of copper is an in
centive to the various operating
companies t«» get ready for early
hipment.
In speaking of Prince William
omul output Mr. Lavensaller prc
(licl s I hat within GO or fto days the
shipment will be at least 8,000
tons per month. The Beatson
nine ai Latouche is already ship
ping nearly one-half that amount,
' while the Ellainar mine, so soon
as present improvements are
completed, will have an output of
1 nearly 3,000 tons. The Fidalgo
Alaska company, owned largely
by T. J. Donohoe and John Y. Os
trander, have now 250 tons ready
for shipment, which will be sent
out on the freighter Seward in a
few days. On another part of the
Tidalgo island the Fidalgo Copper
company is operating. They have
ordered a tram, having completed
the lower and upper terminals,
and within 40 days expect to be
getting out and shipping ore. Mr.
Lavensakler further staples that
W. A. Dickey is shipping about
500 tons per month' from his
property on T.andlock bay. while
in the same neighborhood Mm.
Ilystrom is about ready to make
shipments.
Mr. Lavensaller states that
there is a well aul henl icaled re
port that the Tyee Smelting Com
pany is about to again put into
operation its smelting plant at
Ladysmith. British Columbia, and
to send a man to Alaska to con
trael for ore. Two years ago this
plant was compelled to closedown
because the prices charged for
'smelting was below the cost of
doing the work. At that time they
were treating considerable of the
Alaska ore. Mr. Lavensaller does
not know whether the advent of
the new company into the field
will result in any change in rates
by (lie Tacoma Smelling Com
pany.
The Seward Oatewav is on sale
at the Valdez Drug Co. tf
John Kacerosky is seriouslj
thinking of shipping on the The

Arguments May Be Disputed, But
"Facts Are Facts."
It i- a fact that Valdez beer is a food and not a tonic.
Ask any doctor you know. Valdez beer aids digestion. Use
it a few times with your meals and you'll find we're right.
If you drink beer you should use Valdez beer in preference to
others. First, because of its unquestionable high quality.
Second, because it is a home product; brewed in your home
town and ali who are interested in the growth and prosper
ity of Valdez should patronize home products.
