The great importance d Valdez
as a mining renter i» only begin
ning to loom up. All the placer
mining that has heretofore been at
tempted is runay mile* from town,
bat now operations are beginning
almost within the town. Last year
about 1500 acres were located on
Lowe river that affords the finest
opportunity for hydraulic working
The property has been placed in
the bands of experienced men who
stv now getting it in shape for an
early start.and work will be carried
on there on a large scale. The
amount of prospecting done on the
ground, though scant, was sufficient
to prove it a veritable bonanza as
a hydraalir proposition. During
the past month another large and
rich deposit of gravel was located
on a tributary of Lowe river, that
prospects even better than the first
location. Preparations are now
being made to commence work on
the ground as soon as possible.
Solomon gulch, across the bay, will
this season tie the scene of great
activity. Parties are now here
awaiting the arrival of machinery
ta commence week. Landlock,
Boulder and Galena bay men have
been busy all winter opening up
copper properties and the same is
true of Knights, Latoucheand Gla
cier islands, all in Prince William
sound and tributary to Valdez.
These nearby properties, in addi
tion to the great copper deposits
and' placer of the- interior, are des
tined to place Valdez in a position
of great importance in the near fu
ture. The mineral is here in a
bundance, our harbor is open all
the year and this is the only point
on the coast from which tlie great
interior, consisting of half a mil
lion square miles of magnificent
eeuatry, can be reached at suay time
•t the year. v

The Alaskan contends that even
though the PKeeeiNrmR is right
about the editors of papers advo
cating territorial government know
hag nothing ef Alaska outaide of
the burg they inhabit, we abould
etill have territorial government
because the people of Valder and
the permanent residents of the
great interios have-declared for it.
While the territorial agitation is
so dead that it seems like a waste
of time t» argue the matter, still
we would like to pot the Alaekan
in the matter. Valdes has
set declared itself, nor is it now in
favor of territorial government. If
the editor ef the Alaskan will read
the report ef the senaterial com
nut tee which visited Alaska last
year, and go carefdly over the tes
timony takea from permanent resi
dents of tha interior, he will find
that they have not declared for ter
ritorial government. A man may
be excusedfor not knowing from ob
servation whot he is talking about,
but there is no excuse for the ignor
snee displayed by the Alaskan re
garding the sentiment of the people
•I the third division, when the tes
timony d the senate committee
contains so many expression# of
bona tide citiaas regarding the
matter.

Owners of diseased dogs must
now keep the animals confined or
they will be prosecated. The Alas
ka code and local laws make it a
misdemeanor to allow dogs having
any infectious disease, or that are
s menace to puhlic health to run
at large. The council has ordered
that the ecvners of the mangy dogs
now running about the streets be
notified to keep them apor the
animals will he killed, and action
taken against the owners. These
diseased dogs that are given no care
are a continual menace to the oth< r
dogs of town, and no tiine.will be
loot in ridding the streets of them.
Aside from the bare necessities
of life, a large proportion of the
merchandise sold is composed of
articles which ths purchasers did
not know they wanted nntil they
saw them advertised.
