Slate Creek Miners and Road

N*w Diggings.
Jod Stanlon, the interior mail
contractor, reached Valdez yes
terday, bringing the last mail
from Gulkana, of the season, on
the Fish contract. He reports
much excitement at Copper Cen
ter and all along the line from
there to Valdez about the new
strike on the Nelchina, and he
himself saw and spoke to the In
dian (Nicholi) who brought the
news to Copper Center. Two
men working with two lengths of
sluice boxes had taken out two
handfuls of gold, according to
the Indian, but he had no way of
expressing to the people at Cop
per Center the value of the clean
up.
Between Beaver Dam and Tiek
hell Mr. Stanton met the Valdez
stampeders headed for the new
diggings with all manner of con
veyances and pack animals and
a few with packs on their backs.
Some will go via I he old cut-off
at Quartz creek, and others to
Copper Center and up to Tazlina
lake.
Jim Simpson and Fete Snyder,
the Tazlina roadhouse keopcfr,
left as soon as the news was
brought to Copper Center and are
in I he new diggings by this lime.
Nels McCrary and Denny Witt
also made an immediate slarl in
order to get in on the ground
floor. Tho Slate creek miners
and operators, now on the way
from their summer work to the
coast, also stampeded for the new
camp, all loading up their horses
at the roadhouses and making
as fast lime as possible.
The Indian who brought the
news said that lifteen men and
one woman were in the new camp
when he lefl and ali were work
ing to take out all the gold pos
sible before the freeze up.
Mr. Stanton is positive in his
statement that the route via Val
dez and Copper Center is the best
routs l" take aL this time. The
trip to Copper Center can be made
in four days at easy stages and
from there to Hie diggings ill
four days more.
OUTFIT LEAVES
for non
W. G. Reynolds and R. A. Lindsey
Select Sure Route via Val
dez to New Camps.
\V. (1. Reynolds and R. A.
Lindsay, sourdough miners and
prospectors will leave Valdez to
morrow morning for the Tazlina
or Chisana diggings, taking two
horses and a light express wag
on will) l,7(m pounds of horse
feed and supplies, and four dogs
to he used on the further end of
the road.
The two partners will wait at
Copper Center for information
from the Valdez prospectors, who
left hero the past two weeks for
the Nelchina country, ami if their
reports are favorable the outfit
will be taken up the Tazlina river
to the new diggings.
The trip into the interior will
be made at slow stages until the
first fall of snow, when the dog
team will be used and one horse
and a double-ender will take all
the supplies at one trip.
Both men are experienc'd min
ers and prospectors and are go
ing into the country prepared to
remain for the winter. They se
lected the Valdez route because
of ils cheapness and certainty,
fearing to go via Cordova and ex
perience the usual tie-up at this
time of thp year, when the heavy
floods wash out the grades and
bridges.
The launch Copper Nugget
will leave for Landlork and Fi
dalgo Bay tomorrow morning
with a number of passengers.
The launch is now in charge of
Billy Lea and Elmer Anderson,
and is making regular weekly
drips.
WILL Of °NEW CAMP
Ed. Wood is at 8eward From the
New Camp and Will Bring
News Concerning It.
Eil. Wood, the freighter, reach
ed Seward this morning from the
Matanuska coal fields and will
return to Valdez on the next boat
from tile westward. He sent his
pack train of thirty animals in
to the new Nelchina country load
ed with supplied for the miners
and stampeders. When the pack
train has finished the work it will
be brought out to Valdez via the
government trail, as that is the
shortest and pest route to the
coast from the new camp.
Mr. Wood is believed to have
made a trip into the Nelchina
with his pack train and will be
in a position to tell of the con
ditions there. He is a conserva
tive man and his word can he
relied upon. He knows the dan
gers attending a stampede at this
season of the year, which would
be sure to result in great hard
ship to all who rushed in unpre
pared and might result in more
serious disasters.
The Prospector has wired Mr.
Wood to send a statement of
conditions in the new camp as he
found them, but the answer had
not been received up to the hour
of going lo press.

TRY TO BEAT
WAY_TO^ STATES
Shortly before (lit1 Mariposa
left Cordova for Juneau on her
Iasi trip an inspection of the ship
was made and twenty-eight stow
aways discovered in hiding in
various quarters aboard the ves
sel. The passage beaters were
rounded up and put ashore, much
to their disgust. Nearly all of
the iinancially embarrassed group
were stampeders who have been
to the Chisana gold fields and
spent their last cent in getting in
and slaking.
The presence of idle men in
Cordova in large numbers shows
the low financial slate a large
number of men were in when the.'
stampeded. Although many of
the penniless men have good
ground they will be unable to
work it until spring.

PRETTY WEDDING
THIS MORNING
Popular Young P®ople Married
Early This Morning at the
Catholic Church.
A very pretty Wedding was
.solemnized at the Catholic
church this morning al 8:30
o’clock, when Mary Kllen Meals
and William J. Whalen were un
ited in the Indy bonds of matri
mony by Father Van der Pol.
Miss Spexarlh and Owen Meals,
a brother of the bride, were
bridesmaid and groomsman.
The altar of the church had
been beautifully decorated for
the wedding and showed a most
artistic talent in the blending of
the colors of the blossoms by the
friends of the young people, who
had stripped their gardclns of
their choicest flowers for the oc
casion. The altar rail, where the
bride and groom knelt to receive
the blessing of the father, was
entwined by trailing vines and
dainty white blossoms.
The church was crowded by
the friends of the young couple,
who are both well known and are
popular among the younger
members of society in Valdez.
The* music was excellent and har
monized beautifully with the im
pressive marriage ceremony of
the Catholic religion. Mrs. I. M.
Kurd sang the Ave Marie. The
children’s choir, under Mrs. Mil
ler and Mrs. Win, Kramer, sang
the mass and then' sweet voices,
blending with the voice of the
priest, was very impressive. The
Mother Superior presided al the
organ.
After the ceremony the friends
of the young couple waited at the
door of the church to congratu
late them and shower them with
rice.
Tlie Prospector joins their
many friends in wishing Mr. and
Mrs. W halen a long and happy
life.
