Copper prices up. One of the prima reasons is war talk as munitions plants operate at capacity, using a great deal of copper. is another reason in which this country and es- pecially Alaska is interested. That is the new pro- gram Kennecott has for building copper houses. Throughsone of its subsidiaries, the Kennecott Corporation has perfected a sample copper house, and is now opening a campaign to popularize the idea. Coupled with resistance and durability fea- tures, the copper house is planned to cost around $4,500, thus touching a market other than the ex- clusive. It is to be built in all styles and models and is reported as being especially attractive. When Kennecott resumed operations last spring after a long shutdown, it immediately revitalized industry not only in the Kennecott district hut in other parts of the Territory as it drew men for employment from all over. Many went from here just before and during the A. J. strike. been moving out for some time, giving further impetus to the industrial cycle. If copper can become widespread in building construction, it means the Kennecott will be oper- ating to capacity. It means another permanent year around industry in the Territory just as the A. J. gold mine is here. That is the sort of industrial progress that spells prosperous times in Alaska and brightens up the future picture. move ENCOURAGING TREADWELL REPORT. There isn't, as Mr. Bradley points out, any reason to get too enthusiastic about the restoration of the old Treadwell properties, but there is ample reason matter to he.hopeful after his clear discussion of the Da[ly Alaska Em pi;e s and Douglas for $1.25|\r " Bragley's ‘{and Mark Requa, Copper has THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, FRIDAY, SEPT. 20, 1935. re the Douglas Chamber of Commerce thls; | The veteran mining man explained it would cost| from a half million dollars upward to make the first | tests to determine just what ore bodies could yet be| tapped. millions more would have to go into plant and equipment.

The longest session of Congress since 1922 has come to a close and a wide range of important legislation was enacted into law.

Under the Revenue Act of 1932 certain of these excise taxcs would have | become inoperative after June 30, 1935, certain others |could have ceased on July 31, 1936, and still others would have continued to operate only at reduced rates or with increased exemptions after June 30, |1935. The extra penny first class postage rate would have become inoperative on June 30, 1935. 1 Defers for two years scheduled reductions in taxes on future sales of produce, issue and transfer of stocks and bonds.
