The town is 15 years old and the sea terminus of the C R & N W Ry, the steel artery which brings the rich copper ore of the Kennecott mines from its prehistoric fastnesses in the Wrangell Mountain range to the sea. Cordova has a literary past. Around its creation are built, and in its neighborhood are laid the scenes and stirring incidents of "The Iron Trail/' by Rex Beach. The town is set like a jewel on the sea slopes of Mount Eyak, facing a broad and beautiful bay, with the fish-teeming fresh waters of Eyak Lake at the rear. It is the headquarters for the commercial and industrial life of the Copper River Valley, the Xizina, Slate Creek, Sushanna and Bremner gold districts, the Bering River coal field, the Chitina-Kotsina copper district, the Katalla and Yakataga oil fields, the Prince William Sound fishing area, and the Chugach National Forest. 
CARLISLE PACKING CO.'S PLANT Cordova is a modern town in every respect, with cable and wireless connection with the whole world. It has electric light and power, telephone and sewer systems, 2 banks, a daily newspaper, and all lines of business are represented. Xo town in Alaska offers the tourist such opportunity for diversified recreation. Xo part of the world has ben so favored with magnificent mountain, glacier and river scenery as the Copper River Valley. Industrial Resources—Alaska, the country of raw materials, has its richest section in the Copper River Valley. The gold of the interior rivers and the copper in the hills allure the pros-pector. that precursor of the pioneer. Crabs, clams, herring", hahbut and salmon in the adjacent ocean waters have made Cordova the fishing center of Southwestern Alaska. The lumber industry and manufacture of wood pulp are attracting attention. The Glaciers—The Childs and Miles Glaciers at Mile 49 on the CR&N W Ry, breaking off into the Copper River on opposite sides of the stream, are the most striking and vivid examples of those age-old ice bodies which have carved out our valleys and formed our rivers. The railroad journey from Cordova to Chitina furnishes a continuous panorama of these mightiest of nature's sculptures. Recreation—The devotees of the rod and reel can experience the whole gamut of piscatorial emotions around Cordova. Fresh water lakes, clear streams, and the teeming ocean offer trout, salmon, red snapper and other finny denizens of the deep for the delectation and delight of the disciples of Izaak Walton. To the sportsman Cordova offers unsurpassed opportunities for the pursuit of his favorite variety of large or small game. The great brown bear of the Alaska coastal regions and adjacent islands is found in numbers near Cordova. Goats can be secured within ten miles of town. This is the outfitting point for the White River country, unequaled for Dalli mountain sheep, moose, caribou and bear. Gently lapping its wooded mountain banks, and situated almost in town, lies Lake Eyak, a rival of Lake Geneva in its marvelous natural beauty of setting. The lake is almost surrounded by mountains, is fed by clear water streams, and discharges into the ocean by means of a tidal river a few miles long. It is a spawning ground for salmon, and in its north arm the territorial government maintains a hatchery where visitors are alwavs welcome. Small boats for fishing mav be rented. Many days can be spent here by the man or woman who feels the call of the high places. Unconquered peaks flaunt their defiant challenge and invite exploration. The National Forest Service is building trails to the summit of Mount Eyak and along Power Creek. Various mountain trips of a day's length offer themselves to the sojourner in Cordova.
