FIR VALDEZ
One of the officers of the Alameda
I last night, being in a reminiscent
mood, recalled a little of the early
history of Valdez, as he had been in
one of the first steamers to enter
Valdez bay after the stampede,
started. He said that in the earlyj
days it was the custom to land pas
sengers in small boats, the sailors
carrying the fair passengers ashore,
1 leaving the men to get through the
| mud as best they could.
The first settlers believed that on
i account of the glacial mud that it1
would be useless to construct a
wharf at Valdez, believing that the
glacial stream or the high tides would
take it out. This officer, who was a
close friend of Frank Kinghorn,
talked with him regarding the estab
lishment of a wharf here. He says
that Kinghorn was undecided until j
he was shown a piece of rock from
the Latouche or Rllamar copper
mines, when he immediately decided
that a town which was as close to a
mine as Valdez was entitled to nave
wharf facilities, and interested him
self In the dock.
The navigator, who has been on
the Alaskan coast for years, believes
that the commission made a serious
mistake in selecting Anchorage orj
Seward as the terminus of the gov
ernment trunk line from tidewater
to interior Alaska. He declares that
Valdez has by far the best harbor on
the coast, and says he has been com
ing here for nearly a score of years,
and has never yet experienced diffi
culty of any sort in the harbor.—
Valdez Prospector.
FIND NEW BREED OF ALASKAN
PTARMIGAN.
Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Brown, of
Boston, who visited Alaska last fall
as representatives of the Museum of
Comparative Zoology of Harvard Uni
versity, for the purpose of studying
bird life on the Baranoff Islands, re-1
ports that they have collected about
one thousand specimens of the land j
and shore birds, and met with ap
| proximately 150 species.
‘‘One of the most interesting speci
mens I have found,” said Mr. Brown, j
"is a ptarmigan which is much larger
than the mainland bird in the sum-1
mer, but at this season is changing
his garb for the snow-white winter
plumage he affects. The ptarmigan.
, by the way. is perhaps one of the
best examples of protective coloring
among birds, and as the season
changes he clothes himself in colors
that closely match those of the land
scape in which he makes his home.”

HAVE BEEN MISINFORMED.
The Valdez Prospector says the
Chltlna Leader has suspended publi
cation, which is not the case. In fact
that paper is larger and better than
ever, and has no intention of ceasing
to exist.

OUTPUT TANANA VALLE! IS
UNUSUALL! LARGE
While many people of the Fair
banks district and the Tanana valley
expected that the output for the
season of 1915 would be larger than
the output for 1914. hut few thought
it would be larger than that of 1913.
Yet figures show the total precious
metal output of the Tanana valley
to be larger than that or either of
the two previous seasons.
In 1913 the records of the Wells
Fargo Company showed that $3,630,
899.03 had been handled through tne
Fairbanks office. Last year the
total shipments of the Wells Fargo
office amounted to $3,109,072.24 In
the year 1913 a number of large
shipments from the Ruby office were
handled through the Fairbanks of
fice of the Wells Fargo Company,
and were included in the output of
the Tanana valley. This year, the
total output of the Tanana valley,
not including any shipments from j
Ruby, is estimated at $3,611,000, or j
only $29,000 less than shown by the
books of 1913, which included the big
shipments from the YUkon river
camp.
