Boating, bathing and fishing,
but principally bathing, are be
coming the daily pleasures of the
people of Valdez and we may con
fidently look forward to the future
of this place as a regular summei
resort. The climate is rapidly
changing owing to the abundance
of hot air.
Senator Charles Scott, of Mis
sissippi, accompanied hy Charles
Baxter has purchased seven horses
and taking Billy Davis as guide
has gone to the White river, via
the Nizina, on a hunting trip.
There is an abundance of big game
in the White river country which
can be got without difficulty.
One of Alaska’s mushcrs to
come from the Westward on the
Dora was R. Journey, who was one
of the original locators on Sand
Point. In locating his ground he
also secured the water rights
which gave him an advantage over
all others and as a eonseqnence he
took out a large amount of gold
dust. Waving finished up at Sand
Point he went to Uyak hay to
prospect. He found gold but not
in quantities to pay. He is now
on his way to Seattle on the Ex
celsior and will return in the
spring with a steam launch to
prospect along the coast.
H. L. McIntyre, a civil engineer
of considerable prominence, arrived
on the Excelsior for the express
purpose of investigating the copper
properties located this year by the
Elkins brothers in the Nizina sec
tion. tieorge Elkins, upon making
the discovery of a rich copper lead,
located a number of .claims and
brought out a sack of samples,
which were much admired around
the town. He went to Seattle and
there interested capital to such an
extent that Mr. McIntyre was sent
to examine that and neighboring
properties, and also the feasibility
of transportation. He will leave
here in a few days and will look
over the country en route, and on
his return trip will use a boat down
the Chittyna and Copper to the
mouth of the Tasnuna, and come
out that way. This return trip
will give him an opportunity to ex
amine the water facilities for trans
portation.

try for themselves before they
make a move of so great impor
tance. It is impossible to advise
any one intelligently as to where
he had better locate, and what he
had ltetter do on arrival, and one
shrinks from the rcs|>ousibility, so
much depends on the individual.
But with industry and a thorough
understanding of conditions farm

Alaska, but a competence, with
greater ease and certainty than in
many parts of the states.

On June 19th Robert B. Brisco
of England, accompanied by C. I*.
Smith as guide, left here for a trip
of inspection into the interior.
They visited nearly all the copper
properties on the various streams
and returned to town last week
when Mr. Brisco secured the ser
vices of the steamer Annie and is
now looking over some of the prop
erties down the Sound. He is well
pleased with his trip and is much
impressed with the vastness and
richness of the copper deposits all
over this section.
L- P. Kosheroroff, a priest of
the Russiun church, was a passen
ger on the Dora from Unalaska
bound for Sitka. He remained in
town for several days awaiting the
departure of the Excelsior. Mr.
Kosheroroff was born at Belkofsky
of Russian parents and at an
early age he was sent to Russia to
become educated for the priest
hood. He finished his education
about a year ago and returned to
Alaska to take up his mission, go
ing direct to his native place to
visit the scenes of his childhood.
He recently received orders from
his bishop to proceed to Sitka and
report for duty.
J. W. Palmer, owner af a num
ber of claims on the Shushitna,
was a passenger on the Excelsior
en route to the states. He left a
number of men of men on the
claims putting in bed-rock flumes
preparatory to working the ground
with hydraulc machinery. From
careful tests the ground is found to
average about one dollar a yard,
with a large amount of gravel.
In some places the ground is very
rich and tome large nuggets are
found: hut taken as whole it will
not pay to work as a pick and
shovel proposition, though from
the season’s prospecting Mr. Palm
er brought out a good sized poke of
dust.
