Mr. Wright, of Grant’s Pass, Ore.
last rear made a trip into Slate
creek and neighltoring parts, to in
spect the country for platinum,
and was extremely well pleased
with the possibilities. There is a
large quantity of metal being lost
by those who are sluicing for gold,
as its trne quality and value was
discovered by only one or two pros
pectors. Three years ago when
cleaning up on Slate creek, a
■trange metal was found, which
upon analysis proved to be platin
um. A sample of nearly an ounce
was in the fall of 1902 sent from
the Pkospectoh office to tlic.Ranier
Grand hotel, in Seattle, for exhibit.
It was there seen by Mr. Wright,
who is an ex|>ert in the metal, and
on learning of its origin he made
the trip in 1903. The consequent
report to his company was so
glowing that there is every possi
bility of his returning to Slate
creek this season to secure some of
the properties.
It ap|>ears to have become the
custom of officials of the steamship
companies at Beattie whose lioats
ply hetween there and this coast,
to give anyone who applies fora
passage to Valdes, an argument in
favor of Seward. There are in
town now several men who were
induced to take passage for Seward
much against their inclination.
Their destination is the interior
country, and they were assured
that Seward was the shorter route.
They learned the true state of af
fairs on their way up and stopped
off here, and thus saved themselves
a whole year, as they could not
have reached anywhere from Sew
ard this season. This same thing
has been going on for some time,
and it would probably l>e well for
the people of Valdes to take note
of the fact.'
L. L. Bales, who has traveled
extensively through Alaska lor a
number o{ years past, is now con
nected with Dick Cruine, of the
Yukon, in securing natives and
eurios of Alaska for exhibit at the
St. Louis fair. Mr. Craino has se
cured a concession for an exhibit,
and Mr. Bales is here to collect
about 12 natives who possess skill
In basket weaving, curving and
other industries so much admired
by tourists. Bidarkas, spears, ar
rows, sled dogs with sleds and har
ness, and eviry thing that can be
Secured to show the mode of living
by the original Alaskan. He will
get his natives at Yakutut, llliam
na and points further west; also
from Copper river. Mr. Cruine has
already secured some natives from
Labrador_
C. L. Parish, manager of the
Alaska Attu Maekerel Co , was a
passenger going westward on the
last boat. While here lie stated
the saltery would be much enlarg
ed, in order to keep up with the
demand for their salted Attu mack
erel. In addition they will salt
other kinds of fish that uro plenti
ful nearby. The seuson’s output
will of neoeesity lie large so as to
Ml orders now ou bund from ori
ental countries.
