known. "Th® game of basket ball
between the Elks teams and the
White Pass Athletic Club team to
morrow nisjht will be some game."
iluth is an Elk, iuid ho will play
on the Elks team. Bert McK^nzie is
not an Elk, and he will play on the
Club team. That fixes the questica(
of the stellar lights.
Then there is Liddicoat and Frie
deuthal, Ha^gruveji and Ask Bro
thers, and Mathews, Smith and Ra
puzzi, and this is not all, for this
is merely naming the players in the
Firemen-Athletics team of last
Friday night's play .
The Skagway league will train
for a possible contest with the
tiastineau channel teams, and it is
■safe lo predict that should a match,
be arranged for, the boys from the
hea<l of Lynn canal will make a
gccd accounting for themselves.
The Stairway league have arrang
ed a schedule for games to be play
ed at home, and the last game will
be played on March 9. each team
having played each other three
tiires, and the winner will become
tiie oermanent owners of the trophy.
The schedule for the remainder
of the season is as follows:
Jan. 19th—Elks vs. Clu^.
Jan. 26th—Firemen vs. Elks.
Feb. 2nd—Firemen vs. Club.
Feb. 9th—Elks vs. Club.
Feb. 16th—Firemen vs. Elk9.
Feb. 23rd—Firemen vs. Club.
Mar. 2nd—Elks vs. Club.
Mar. 9th—Firemen vs. Elks.
White Pass gym will be the cen
ter of attraction for Friday and
Saturday night, Friday night being
tho second game in th§ Skagway
Basket ball league games, while
Saturday night the Firemen will
give their basket ball benefit dance.
The committee having the affair
; iu haad have made all arrangements
and a good time is predicted for
[ those who attend.
Remember the proceeds of this
dance will go towards the purchase
price of new uniforms for the Fire
men's basket ball t«am, and for
♦his reason every devotee of the
game should lend their assistance
towards swelling the poke for the
fire laddies.

Cordova — Iditarod operators,
who represent heavy investments la
ike interior section, of Alaska along
Ujo rivers flowing into the loweir
Y u£i n. are taking an active interest
in the proposed Una of fjie govern
ment's system of railroads in Alas
ka, which, will extend from the
Seward-Fairhanks line into western
Alasta, Baj-g the times of this city.
>iew discoveries in the Iditarod
and lnnoko districts assure the im
oortance of this immense area lying
north of the mountains and west of
Mt. McKinley .
Freight rates to the Iditarod at
oresent are ?100 p§r ton. Operators
like J. E, Riley and others who
h^va dredges or largo hydraulic
plants cay immense Bums each year
to the transportatioa companies.
Ordinary ground cannot he work
ed because it will not pay the ex
renses of operating.
Tolstoi lay undiscovered jur sev
en yea-ra because the prospectors
found only 10-cent pans on, bedrock
and It did not look like "pay" in
the face of the high cost of eupplie6>
From a practical mining stand
point thousands of miles of creeks
along the rivers of this section liavc
never been scratched and the real
mineral wealth of the country north
west of Seward is Still unknown.
Good pay in, Ophir, Flat creek,
Marshall City and other sections of
the district shows that it is a high
ly desirable place to prospect
A railroad is needed to supply
cheaper fuel and cheax>er supplies.
In a short time the line to Fair
banks will be complete and that
camp will be enjoying tho advant
ages of railroad transportation.
It is the contention of Iditarodors
ithat work could be started at an
early date on. the line to the low
er "Yukon, and better results ob
tained and more progress made than
to wait until the Fairbanks lin§ is
completed. The construction organ
ization of 'he Alaskan engineering
commission is complete and will be
brought to a high state of efficiency
dur.'Lg the coming year.
DESTROY BALLOTS AT
KN'lIv AND SELDOVIA
Juneau, Jan. 18—Word comes I
from the Westward that the election!
office)s destroyed the ballots af
ter cunting them at Seldovia and
Knik. It is contended that if a re
count were demanded and allowed
that the returns from these
precincts would necessarily be
thrown out, because the law re
quires that the ballots voted at
the election be included with the
returns.
I' this information is correct a
recount would add to Sulzer's plu
rality. Unofficial returns from the
two. precincts mentioned give Wick
ersham 9S votes and Sulzer 24 •—a
Wickersham plurality of 74. The
returns given for e ich precinct were
as follows: Knik, Sulzer 11;
Wickersham 43; Seldovia, Sulzer
14, Wickersham 55.

COPPER MINES
BIG PRODUCERS
Washington, Jan. 17—In, speaking
of the copper situation, for the
y§ar ending, Dec. 1916, the Unit
ed States geological survey bulle
tin issued today; states in part:
The production, of copper from
the mines of the United States for
1916 was more than, double that of
10 years ago and more than four
timeg that of 20 years ago. The pro
fit resulting from the domestic pro
duction was far greater in 1916 than
in any; previous year. It is prob
ably gafe to gay that it exceeded
$.300,000,000. '
The average pric§ of copper for
1916 showed a marked increase ovei
that of the preceding year, being
slightly above 27 cents a pound
compared with 17.4 cents in 1915.
Much of the copper Was sold
several weeks or months in advance
of delivery, and It ie therefore
p.robable thlat the actual average
price received differs somewhat frca
the average of the daily quotations
for immediate delivery. The gen
eral trend of tlio market would in
dicate that the actual price receiv
ed may be below that Indicated by
the average of quotations.
The output from Alaska) estimat
ed at over 120,000,000 pounds com

CIRCUIT COURT
BACKS JENNINGS
I Washington, Jan.. 15—The Unit
States Supreme Court today in
a far-reaching' decision refused a
writ of review in tjie famous Alas
ka Territorial license tax law oases,
and all canning and mining compan
ies in the Northland will be com
pelled to pay taxes on their out
put to both the Territorial and Fed
oral governments.
The decision of the supreme
court followed appeals Jn test suits
from the lower court. The oases
were tried before Judge Robert W.
Jennings of the United States dis
trict court at Juneau. He held the
Territorial laws to be valid. An ap
peal was taken to the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals wicb. af
firmed the decisions of Judge Jen
nings. The United States Supreme
Court has now refused to grant a
writ of reviews from the Circuit
Court of Appeals.
The decision is regarded as one
of great importance to Alaska. It
no* only validates the laws involv
ed in the cases at issue, b<uit makes
»♦ clear that the Circuit Court of
Apceals Is the final authority in
construing Alaskan laws.
The Juneau Empire in comment
ing on the above says in a recent
issue: 1 ! ' i
Local attorney for the corpora
tions involved in the license cases
th.a* are pending Jn the United
States Supreme Court, believe that
the Supreme Court has decided only
those cases that were *aken up from
the Unite! States Circul* Court of
Aupeals on certiorari—whichj is a
tiroceeding for a review o1 the pro
ceedings 'n the lower courts. They
believe that the court has yet to
decide the cases that were appealed
on a writ of error, setting up Con
stitutional objections to the law of
Alaska.
Hellenthal and Hellenthal receiv
ed a telegram today saying the ap
plication for a writ of certiorari
had been refused1 by the United
States Supreme Court. Nothing was
said about the cases that had been
appealed on a writ pf error.
