Refining Mining Company, one of the
strongest mining corporations in the
world and the most formidable oppo
nent of the GugRenhelms for control
of the copper-smelting Industry In the
United States, has quietly Invaded the
Alaska field, obtained options on a

plans to build big smelters on the
Alaska roast and on the shores of
Puget Sound.

To facilitate their operations in the
North and Northwest an office will be
opened In the Lowman building tomor

charge. A big corps of mining engi
neers has been working through Alaska
for some time, under the supervision of
A. P. Anderson, chief field engineer of
the company, who directed the opera
tions from Los Angeles. Mr. Anderson
Is now in Seattle.
"These people are not going ahead and
laying their plans to operate Alaskan
properties without some assurance from
somebody in authority that they will
have fuel with which to work," Is the
way one prominent Alaskan sizes up
the situation.

"We have planned to extend our oper
ations to Alaska. throughout the
Northwestern territory and eventually
to the Orient If we can get the neces
sary ore," said a representative of the
big corporation. "Our reason for going
to Alaska to operate is based on the
fact that there are many big proper
ties of various kinds there. We are in
the smelting business, primarily, but In
order to get business we buy and de
velop properties. Alaska, in its infinite
variety of ores, offers a splendid oppor
tunity to prepare the necessary fluxing
material at a low cost. The fuel prob
lem will settle Itself In the course of
time."
The entry of the Pearson Company In
Alaska was announced earlier In the
week. The advent of these two com
panies Is due to the belief that the ef
forts of President Taft and Secretary
Fisher to expedite opening; of the
Alaska coal fields will be successful.
