Advetising Alaska.
Certainly the plan of the Seattle
Commercial club to run big advertise
ments in leading magazines with il
luhtrations of Alaska’s scenery, for
the purpose of promting tourist travel
to the Teriitory, is an evidence of en
terprise, and should be appreciated by
all the people of this new country.

ALASKA DEVELOPMENT
BOARD IS ENDORSED
The Cordova Chamber of Com
merce,at its meeting last night, en
dorsed the bill fostered by Secretary
Lane, providing for an Alaska De
velopment Board, composed of five
commissioners, two of whom are the
Governor and Surveyor General of
Alaska. This board is given full pow
er to transact practically all of the
business of the territory, .relieving
the different bureaus at Washington
of this function, and would undoubte
edly have first hand information as to
conditions in Alaska and could simpli
fy and expedite the business of the
territory. Copies of the resolution
adopted will be forwarded to Secre
tary Lane and Delegate Wickersham.

The Broad Pass section, which is at
tracting so much attention at this
time, and from which have come
fabulous reports concerning I he ledges
of gold, silver and copper ore to be
found there, is not a new field. In
fact the property which the Wells
boys are reported to have sold to the
Guggenhelms, through Thomas Aitken,
was discovered at least eight years
ago, and some work done on it. The
locators were Curley Hickman and a
partner, the former being now a resi
dent of Cordova. They were in the
Broad Pass country and located the
claims now known as the Wells prop
erty in 1906, and after doing the as
sessment work on the claims abandon
ed them because of their remoteness
from transportation. Hater the claims
were re-located by the Wells brothers,
and with the prospect of transporta
■ tion the claims have acquired consid
erable value.
j Notwithstanding there have been
some adverse reports coming out from
that section, the Broad Pass country
i is attracting much attention from
i
| prospectors and investors. It is re
| ported that there are fully one liun
! dred persons at Knik waiting for con
j ditions favorable for travel so thnl
J (hey may go to that section eit'ier *o
| prospect or to look over the grou id
with a view to investing In some of
I the proper'ies already located.
So far no high grade finds have been
reported, the claims located covering
immense ledges of low grade ore.
Most of these ores are base, requiring
smelter ^treatment to separate the
precious metals, but with transporta
tion facilities at a reasonable cost,
which it is anticipated the govern
ment railroad will supply, these prop
erties can be operated on a large scale
at extremely low cost, and, it is ex
pected, will yield enormously.
