CHRIS PETERSON
MAKES A RICH FIND
(Valdez Miner)
Cast up by the waves on the beach,
and discovered by Chris Peterson last
evening, was a yellowish mass of a
greasy substance which Chris declares
may be ambergris, in which event
Chris will come in for a small fortune.
Unfortunately neither Chris nor any
one else who has seen the substance
j can tell whether or not it is ambergris
| or some other substance. From all
available information the stuff may or
: may not be the prrr‘ • substance, as
j it answers in some t .s to the de
jscription and ii _iS it does not.
Particularly di resemble one por
tion of the desci i,. ;on given of am
bergris—it has a powerful odor. In
deed, the odor is powerful, penetrat
ing and persistently lastir We trust
it is ambergris and that < . 0ets the
top price for it, for it is wo’-' •. - vhole
lot to have handled *• mass
weighs about 150 pounds.
