HOAD BOVS
The Copper River Kids yesterday
demonstrated their superiority ovet
all other baseball aggregations in the
Copper river valley, by playing two
games with different teams and de
cisively defeating both.
The local Japanese team was the
first led to the slaughter, and it was
a pity. The little fellows made the
motions of playing ball, but that was
about as far as they went. The first
innings the Copper river aggregation
brought in something like ten runs,
and after that evidently concluded it
was easier to strike out than circle
the bases. The final score at the end
of five innings was 14 to 1.
Under the magnificent title of Hub’s
All-Stars, the town team made a fair
showing, but at the end of the fifth
innings the score was 8 to 2, in favor
of the Copper Rivers. The All-Stars,
however, are not discouraged, and
promise to reorganize their team and
give the winners another contest.

WELLS FARED HANDLES 91
| PER CENT DF GOLD
H. S. Wilson, traveling auditor fo
the Wells Fargo Express Company
arrived in Cordova on the steamshi]
Alameda this morning, and will re
main here until she sails tonight. Wll
son has been inspecting the compan:
offices to the westward and came ti
i
this city direct from Anchorage.
The latter city, according to Wilson
I has been suffering from a lumbe
famine, which has prevented any nev
construction during the winter. Thii
shortage, he says, was relieved thi
day he sailed by the arrival of th<
schooner Lucy, owned by George Pal
mer of Knik, which was laden witl
lumber.
Wilson anticipates a prosperom
I year for Ilia company In the north.
"We already handle ninety per cent
of the gold output of the country." he
aald, "and thia year we have expecta
tions of having the other ten per cent,
placed In our hands for shipment. We
have demonstrated that we can handle
gold bullion cheaper than If it ia
shipped by mail, and in addition, we
try to give our patrons the best ser
vire possible.”
Wilson is accompanied by his wife,
j who probably will go as far ns Daw
I son. from where she •will return to
I the states, as below that point it may
be necessary for Wilson to take to
small boats in order to stop at the
small posts along the Yukon without
depending on the steamers for pas
sage.
