Whereas, The course of the na
tional administration is recognized
with deep appreciation by the resi
dents of the Territory, and should
be strengthened by the election of
i a Delegate to Congress from Alaska
| possessed of the Democratic faith,
j and a man who could enjoy the
; confidence and secure the co-opera
tion of the party leaders; and
“Whereas, We recognize in Fal

sessing high intellectual qualities,
endowed with hone3ty of purpose,
j with marked ability and courage to
materially assist the administra
tion in securing legislation beneficial
to the Territory, the needs of which
are thoroughly appreciated by Mr.
Joslin; therefore be it
“Resolved, That the Democratic
Club of Cordova does hereby de

Sutherland and Roberts have struck
dirt on their Flat cree.k property
in the Ruby district that goes $12
to the square foot. The pay streak
is said to be very narrow, but well
defined. How much of it is as rich
as the richest is not known, though
it is said there is a good de.al that
will go $4 or $5 to the foot.

Seward attended a primary on Tues
day evening and selected six men to

choice of individuals. The delegates
or holders of proxies will size up
the situation at the convention and

the votes for.

senger today, going through to Val

where Mr. Moffit has a force, at work
and will prepare an elaborate report
of that district. From there Dr.
