substantial church will he rected.
They have already subscribed $1,000
toward the new building, so anxious
are they that the church be estab
lished
Mr. Molony was undecided and
consulted with the members of the
congregation here, when it was de
cided that while they regretted to
lose him, it was for the best inter
ests of the church that the new
field, which gives promise of being
nne of the most important in the
north, should not be neglected dur
ing the long winter. The Admiral
Farragut, being the last steamer of
the season for Cook Inlet. Mr. and
Mrs. Malony decided upon taking it
and putting the matter of supplying
Valdez with a pastor up to Bishop

prove of their decision to look after

town. Owing to the cable being out!

MOUNTAIN KING MAN.
The friends of W. L. Smith, lra'ia
ger of the Mountain King Min’rv
company, are concerned as to his
welfare and a party will be sent to
Mineral creek to ascertain if it is all
right. Smith went to the Mou'd.dn
King property two or three weeks ago
accompanied by another man. The
man returned after five days and
Smith was expected to show u’> in a
day or so, but has failed to do so Ii
is feared that he may be sick in his
cabin on the mountain side and Illin
ois l ave expressed the intpnti n of
making the trip to ascertain if h i is
all right.
STEAMER NORTHWESTERN
EXPECTED TOMORROW.
The steamer Northwestern, which
is now to the westward, has not been
reported at Seward as having left
Anchorage, but it is believed that she
will reach Valdez some time tomor
row. The ldngth of time which steam
ers remain to the westward at the
present season depends largely upon
weather conditions in Cook Inlet as
ice might prevent rapid handling of
freight from the steamers to the
barges.

Moose dance will be given next Satur
day night. All invited and a good
time assured.

MINERAL GREEK
Good Road has Been Completed from
Beach to Point Above tlie
McIntosh Roadhouse.
H. L. Jaynes has completed his
contract on the Mineral creek road
and has returned to town with his
gang of road-builders. The work was
done under the supervision of Ed.
Wood, territorial road overseer for
this division. The sum of $2,400
was spent in improving the road and
making it possible for loaded wag
ons to go from the beach to some dis
tance above the McIntosh roadhouse.
Four bridges, 30, 50, 63 and 90
feet long respectively, as well as five
culverts were built. The road over
the hill at the lower end of the can
yon and over the hill at the road
house was graded and made passa
ble for loaded wagons. The grading
on the hillsides was principally rock
work. Several hundred feet of road
bed in the townsite, which have been
little short of bottomless mudholes,
were graveled and put into perma
nent shape.
The improvements on the Mineral
creek road will be a big help to the
property owners on Mineral creek as
loaded wagons can now go from the
beach to a point above the road
house, a distance of five and one
half miles. From the end of the
wagon road freight can be taken on
double-enders during the winter and
on pack animals during the summer.
