Copper River Copper Bonanza and the Cordova Railroad
The Bonanza copper lode in Alaska, 1900 era, spurred a railroad from Cordova to Kennecott to ship ore to Tacoma. Prospectors Smith and Warner, aided by Colonel Abercrombie, faced brutal winters and rugged trails to stake and defend the mine. Rail construction and Guggenheim interest followed, with ore assays reported as high as 70 percent copper, transforming a near-worthless claim into a cornerstone of Alaska’s copper era.
