IDE MIDAS MINE IS SOLD
10 GRANBY'S FDD $123,000
The purchase of the Midas cop
per mine on Thursday, Oct. 2, by the
Granby Smelting & Power Company
of British Columbia, means mote
to this district in a financial wif
than most anything else that could
have taken place, says the Vai
dez Commouer. The cash payment
of $123,000 for a property by a
people fully able to compete wuh
those who heretofore have claim -d
this district as "our territory" menna
that we no longer are in the hands
of the gobblers" but that th*re is
going to be at least two bidders for
J the great gold and copper proper
ties that are being opened up in
this part of Alaska. It means thai
we are not going to have to wait f'-r
ten or twenty years for big capi
tal to come Into the country as Jun
eau did, but that it is ready now to
take hold and develop mineral prop
erties just as fast as they are known
to have a probable value. The
Granby company is no small concern
Its directorate is composed of some
of the largest capitalists in bJl'i
Canada and the United States.
James J. Hill is one of the "invis
ible" directing hands. The Com
pany has at Grand Forks, Montana,
a smelter consuming two thousand
tons of ore per day; more than
three times the amount handled per
day by the Tacoma smelter which
I Alaskans have learned to look upon
as a very large concern. They come
into this country as welcome as the
White Pass comes to the people ol'
Fairbanks. As wrecked passengers
on a pirate's ship at sea the ap
pearance of the Granby people
looms up to us like a rescue ves
sel in the distance. The whistle
of their mill across the bay will be
"the sweetest music ever heard".
The Company will proceed at once
to ITuild tramways and docks anl
all necessary buildings to equip the
large number of men that they must
employ, it will be operated on a
"Jimhill" basis. A steamer soi'ie
thing like the Northwestern will be
put on the line between here and
the states, as soon as operations be
gin, as these people do not purpose
depending upon the Guggenheinis to
"nip them in the bud". Later iho
Company will undoubtedly operate
their own line of steamers from
the terminus of the Grand Trunk
as well as other ships, from the
states. The company will have a
great advantage over steamship lines
operating from the states as the ter
minus of the Canadian road is only
three hours run from Ketchikan. Al
aska is in fact "their territory", and
they are just as welcome as the
flowers of May—as welcome as JiMi
Hill was when he came to the states
from Canada to build our great rail
road lines.

P. H. GANTY, GROCER
BIG LINER BURNED IN MIDOGEAN
ONE HUNDRED IMf SIX MISSING
Liverpool, Oct. 11—In response to
a wireless call for help picked up
early Friday morning the Atlantic
Liuer Carmanla hauled oft' her
course, and after a mad run of sev
enty five miles sighted the Steam
er Volturno, one mass of flames.
At the time the big vessel wan
reached a terrific gale was blowing,
and at the risk of their lives the
crew of the Carmania manned the
life boats, and amid a shower of
sparks, made their way to the burn
ing ship.
For some time the task of saving
the passengers and crew of the
burning vessel continued, and 521
souls out of a total of 657 with
which the ship was laden, were pick
ed up.
Before the Carmania had succeed
ed in getting these to safety, nine
other huge liners, responding to the
calls for help sent out by the Vol
turno, arrived in close proximity to
the stricken ship, and assisted in I
the rescue of the passengers and
crew.
The Volturno, sailing from Rotter
dam on October 2 for Halifax and
New York, caught fire in her hold
early Thursday morning, while in
mid-ocean, the crew, working
with heroic zeal, soon found that
they were no match for the flames.
The distress signal was then sent
out. Immediately' after the officers
found that there was no chance of
saving the vessel, the life boats
were launched, and the passengers,
numbering 564 men, women and chil
dren, were notified, and the work of
loading the boats in the terrific
gale begun. Many of the boats were
crushed against the sides of the
ship as they were being lowered,
precipitating their cargo of living
freight into the raging sea.
Shortly after the Carmania reach
ed the scene of the conflagration,
the German Liner William Grosser
der Furst and the Steamer Seidlitz
arrived in quick succession. These
were followed by seven other big
steamships.
A short time after the arrival of
the big liners, the Volturno, which
had burned to the water's edge, gave
a mighty lurch, and plunged beneath
the waters of the mid-Atlantic.
When (he passengers and crew
were checked up, it was found
that one hundred and thirty-dx were
missing and it is bolievod that
they have been either burned in the
ship, or were lost when the life
boats were wrecked.
