VALDEZ
VALDEZ, Jnn. 30. — A number of
Slate creek operators are planning to
leave for the interior during the com
ing weak to begin preparations for the
summer's work. They will go over the
trail from Valdez and will take sup
plies with them from Chitlna. Among
others who will leave Tuesday are
! Charles Kraemer, Fred Kraemer. It.
Myers and Mr. and Mrs. A. Ammann.
Miners coming up the bay from El
lamar say that the reported damages
to the wharf of the Ellamar Mining
* Company were greatly exaggerated.
The inner wharf suffered no damage
whatever, and the only damage to the
big new wharf consisted of a few piles
being torn loose by a steamer which
] attempted to affect a landing during
' the storm.
■ C. J. Lawson, who went outside to
. spend the winter several monttis ago,
, returned with a bride and is recelv
[ ing the congratulations of his nnmer
[ ous friends in Valdez. The couple will
J make their home at the Cliff mine,
’ where Mr. Lawson is employed.
Information was received in yester
day's mail from Ketchikan stating
that John Orchard, who made many
friends in Valdez while visiting with
his son. Lieut. John Orchard, some
years ago, had died at Ketchikan on
January 20, from an attack of pneu
monia. It is reported that the body
was sent outside and will be burled
at his old home in Texas. Deceased
was 74 years of age, and had been
living with his son’s family at Shrimp
Rnv nenr Ketrhilrnn
! Miners in town from Fldalgo Bay
report that George Waldron, who has
the contract for building the ore
bunkers at Irish Cove for W. A. Dick
ey, has completed the work. The
bunkers will handle the ore from the
Mason and Gleason properties, which
are owned by W. A. Dickey and asso
elates, who Will hiake a shipment of
one thousand tons of ore to the Ta
coma smelter as soon as it has been
transported to the beach. Ed Wood
has the contract for hauling the ore.
Advices were received from Seward
recently stating that I)r. Daggett, who
owned the building which was occu
1 pied by the Kitchen Queen bakery
previous to the firt of last Friday, will
not rebuild, and is offering the lot for
sale. It is reported that he considers
t $2,800 the rock bottom price for the
ground, which Is only 12x140 feet. It
was assessed at $1 700 last year.
Paul Gregorof, a young native ol
Ellamar, was brought up to the Valdez
jail on the launch Shamrock. He was
in charge of U. S. Deputy Marshal
, Charles Knoche, and had been sen
tenced by U. S. Commissioner Ward
Estey, of Ellamar, to serve ninetj
' days in jail, having been convicted or
a statutory charge.
n. nimuuuu, iur iuiuiki i up
erator, who will leave for Kotsinc
district in a few days to begin freight
ing supplies to his property for the
coming season's operations, will take
in a quantity of clothing for the In
dians living in his district. Rev. Dun
stan has been active among the good
people of Valdez and has secured a
large bundle of clothing, which will
bring joy to the natives, who are
reported as poorly clothed to with
stand the cold weather.
A fire which started shortly before
12 o'clock last night in the pump
room of the Copper block gave the
fire department a run, but the flames
had been extinguished before the
water was turned on. The fire ofigi
. nuted from electric wires which had
become heated through the failure of
some one to throw the electric switch
operating the pump and leaving the
force of the current in the starter.
The wall had been charred through
and the flames were beginning to
reach toward the ceiling when dis
covered.
W. J. Callaghan and Mrs. Dolores
Johnson were married by Acting
Commissioner A. J. Dlmond on Janu
ary 18. The bride, who had recently
returned from a visit to the States,
is the daughter of Mrs. Rucker. The
I
couple will make their home at the
Cliff mine.
We make look for a large immigra
lion of tourists next winter by parties
desiring to escape the extreme cold
weather of the States.

When the Admiral Farragut sailed f
west from Seward yesterday a race I
commenced for a salmon cannery site ;
on the Bering sea coast of Unga,
which may go down in history along
with the famous stampedes for gold.
The site was found last summer by
representatives of rival packing com
panies. Each without the other know
ing it made preparations to locate the
site next spring and file on it.
Then the news leaked out. and both
companies began emergency prepara
tions to beat the other fellow to it
by making a winter dash into Bering
sea.
The site is estimated to be worth
from $35,000 to $50,000.
Under the law a site must be lo
cated, surveyed and formal applica
tion for patent filed with the land of
fice at Juneau. The first man to file
has prior rights over all other claim
ants.
The rival salmon packers each em
ployed government land surveyors and
started them westward.
The actual contestants In the race
are H. H. Waller, of the firm of Hub
Bell & Waller, and Alexander Brad
ford. The latter represents one of
the largest packing companies operat
ing in Bering, while Waller is em
ployed by a smaller company just
getting on its feet.
Waller left Seattle ahead of Brad
ford, stopped at Juneau, unwound a
little official red tape and arrived in
Seward on the Admiral Evans, intend
ing to sail west'on the Dora. But the
Dora was delayed by storms. Waller
was advised by cable that Bradford, j
representing the other packers, was
en route on the Admiral Farragut, and
had chartered a power boat at Ko- J
The stake being large, no expense
was spared, and Waller cabled In all
directions for a boat for charter. No
thing doing.
More cables and for a time it looked '
like he would have to charter the
Admiral Farragut herself to beat his
rival, for the Dora will not get away
until after the Alameda arrives and
departs. Finally, however, Waller lo
cated a big power boat at Seldovia,
which was put at his disposal by the
owner at Seattle.
Bradford, with his assistants, Ed
Harton and William Muncaster, ar
rived on the Farragut yesterday and
sailed for Kodiak, where they will
board the schooner in which they ex
pect to make the trip to Unga.
Waller and George N. McMillan,
one of the owners of the concern
which Waller represents, boarded the
Farragut here and will be shipmates
with their opponents as far as Sel
' dovia. They will make things fly
when they reach the Katchemak bay
port, and bend their hopes on being
able to get the power launch out of
winter quarters and get a big start
down the Sbelltkoff straits before
Bradford gets away from Kodiak.
When the parties reach Unga they
will have to mush overland to The
Bering sea side, locate the cannery
site and survey it before starting back
i to Juneau.
It will be a great race with many
hazards, and big stakes in sight for
the winner who weathers the Febru
ary gales of the westward passage,
and is the first to reach the land of
fice.—Seward Post.
