mining claim hereafter located in
Alaska, and until a patent has been
issued therefor, not less than ?100

improvements made during each
year, including the year of location,
for each and every 20 acres or ex
cess fraction thereof.
Sec. 1. That no person shall
hereafter locate any placer mining
claim in Alaska as attorney for an
other unless he is duly authorized
thereto by a power of attorney in
writing, duly acknowledged and re
corded in any recorder’s office in
the judicial division where the loca
tion is made. Any person so author
ized may locate placer mining claims
for not more than two individuals or
one association under such power of
attorney, but no such agent or attor

ing claims for any one principal or
association during any calendar

located, for himself more than two
placer mining claims in any calendar
month: Provided, that one or both
such locations may be included in an

“Sec. 4. That no placer mining
claim hereafter located in Alaska
shall be patented which shall contain
a greater area than is fixed by law,
nor which is longer than three times
its greatest width.
“Sec. 5. That any placer mining
claim attempted to be located in vio
lation of this act shall be null and
void, and the whole area thereof may
be located by any qualified locator
as if no such prior attempt had been
made.”

Mr. and Mrs. A. B. lies, of New
York, arrived on the Northwestern
and are quartered at the Rainier
Grand. Mr. lies has been a promi
nent railroad and mining figure in
Alaska for ten years past, and has
raised much capital for the develop
ment of certain sections of the coun
try. Mr. lies is now on his way to
Nugget Creek, a branch of the Kus
kulana river, where is located the
celebrated McCarthy copper proper
ty and in which he is largely inter
ested. He and his wife will leave on
Thursday’s train and go as far as
Strelna, or Mile 146, where they will
take pack horses and travel about
fifteen miles to the mines, and where
they expect to remain for some time.
Mrs. E. F. Gray came up from
Seattle on the Northwestern and was
met here by her husband. They will
remain at'the Rainier-Grand until
Thursday, when they will take the
train for the interior and go to Cop
per Mountain to spend the summer
at the property of the Gerat vU*
ern Development Company, of which
Mr. Gray is the manager and a large
owner.
Mrs. D. H. Williams and son, of
Minneapolis, are guests at the Rain
ier-Grand. Mr. Williams is presi
dent of the Rex Alaska Mining Com
pany, operating valuable placer
property on Rex Gulch, a branch of
the Chittitu, and went into the
property several weeks ago. His
family will join him and they *'111
all remain for the summer.
The formal opening of the rejuve
nated Rainier-Grand was a success
ful event on Saturday night. Pretty
much everybody in town made a vis
it to Cordova’s leading hotel and
noted the many improvements that
had been made. After the minstrel
show most of the audience wended
their way to the new hostelry and
were pleasantly received by the new
management, George Dooley and
Charles Allen, and many expressions
of commendation were heard, espe
cially from the ladies. Appetizing
refreshments were served and all
seemed to have a good time. The
improvements had not all been com
pleted, but the big new lobby and at
tractive dining room indicated some
of the comforts that patrons were to
enjoy. The attractive drink empori
um had been removed to the room
formerly used as a drug store, and
of course many of the men had to
drop in and admire the handsomest
bar fixtures in Alaska.
E. F. Gray, manager of the Great
Northern Development Company, and
his assistant, C. N. Crarv, came down
from Copper Mountain yesterday,
and are guests at the Rainier-Grand.
Mr. Gray came in to meet his wife,
who is a passenger on the North
western and who will spend the sum
mer at the interior camp.
Judge Hanford expects to receive
some assistance from Judge Rudkin,
of the Eastern Washington district,
in holding the May term of court at
Tacoma. Judge Cushman has wired
that he would not likely be able to
leave Alaska and reach Seattle be
fore August 1. The Fairbanks bank
cases will start June 24, and it is
expected that they will continue for
a month.
Hon. Edward E. Cushman, federal
judge for this division; Guy Brubak
er, deputy district attorney, and John
H. Bouse, chief deputy marshal, ar
rived on the steamer this morning
from Valdez. Clerk of the court, E.
M. Lakin, and stenographer, Miss
Monaghan, came a few days ago, so
that all the necessary court officials
are here in readiness for the special
May term to convene on Monday
morning. Two jury cases had been
set, but it is probable that both may
go over. There are a few equity mat
ters to be disposed of. From here
the court will go to Chitina, where a
grand jury will convene on June 3, to
investigate the many charges made
against United States commissioner
Healy and Deputy Marshal Brown.
As a result of the liberal patron
age of the people generally and of
the Cordova business men, the recent
minstrel performance was a decided
success financially, netting $175 to
the Cordova Eagle Band. This very
satisfactory acquisition to their
treasury enabled the boys to send out
an order on the steamer yesterday
for twelve new uniforms. In appre
ciation of the public interest in their
welfare the band boys propose to
give a complimentary dance at Eagle
hall on Saturday night, May 25.
