Eil Webber, an old-time prospect -

the Circle City country in 1S94, and
[ who prospected in the vicinity of
[the Klondike in the same year but
with poor success so far as finding
' gold was concerned, came out from
. the interior Saturday on his way to
the Pioneer Home at Sitka. Until
he reached Skagway Mr. Webber
had never seen an automobile or
entered a moving picture house.
Last winter he had the misfortune
to freeze the toes of one of his
feet and has been unablo to do
much since, which is the reason
for his having consented to entor
the home until nest spring, when
he thinks h§ will be able to take
up his work again.

CUl'l'ER RIVER WIDOW

•railroad. Mr. and Mrs. Davis have
taken a home on Queen Anne hill,
say- the Cordova Times.

LOTS SOLD FROM FIFTY TO
FIGHT HUNDRED DOLLARS
Tiie sale of lots last Monday in
Anchorage resulted in prices that
rauged from fifty dollars to eight
hunched dollars, according to Dan
Saunders, who arrived last evening
after having left the new railroad
town last Tuesday morning. In the
who!© Mr. Saunders is inclined to
believe, the lots brought nearly
double the price received for Bim
ilar lots at the first sale. Most of
those sold this tme were outlying
residence lots but the ones that
brought the highait prices were
close in. Mr. Saunders has been in
the Matanuska country during the
summer, around Matanuska Junctio
and the coal fields. He says many
settlers have arrived in the district
ani are putting in crops. The En
gineering commission is building a
bridge over the Matanuska river.

ore, valued at not less than J150,
000, was received at Tacoma from
Alaska during the past week. The
capacity of the Tacoma smelters

the Increased business in sight
Justifies the expenditure.
"Another thing which Seattle
people ought to consider and which

mineral resc^irces of Alaska as the
foundation, this city, should become
the center of the mining industry
of the Northwest Much of the
wealth of this city has been real

ernment engineers have pronounced
the Copper River country to con
tain enormous exposed bodies of
the richest copper ore "a the world,
and it la from this district that
the two million or more each
month Is now being shipped."
