The recent reports brought in
from Dan creek are very gratifying.
This is the first attempt that has
been made to work placers in this
section during the winter, and it
has been successful. Dan creek is
proven rich enough to justify work
ing the entire year, and the success
of the winter’s work on. that stream
will undoubtedly influence others
in trying the same plan in other
sections, and will hasten the devel
opment of the bench property on
the various creeks. It has long
been known that the benches on
Rex and Chittitu were richer than
the creek claims, hut the impossi
bility of working them on a small
scale during the summer has kept
many of them from becoming pro
ducers. The Copper river countiy
is gradually getting past the stam
pede stage, and now that the pros
pectors are settling down to good,
systematic prospecting, we may
look for strikes of much more im
portance than any heretofore made.

The formal opening of the brew
ery, Saturday, marks an epoch in
the history of Valdez. This is the
first concern in town to start the
manufacturing of an article fur
home consumption. The enterprise
was started and is backed by citi
zens of the town. All the stock is
held here, and every l>ecr drinker
should help home industry by call
ifcg for the Valdez brew. Compet
ent judges claim that the quality
is far superior to that of the outside
brands, and there is no reason why
this concern should not supply the
entire market, not only of Valdez
hat of the adjoining coast towns.

. . The abstract of the 12th census
of the United States gives Alaska
an increase of 98.4 per cent, in pop
ulation from 1890 to 1900; 75 per
cent, of the population live outside

there being 3;091; Canadians next
with 1,501; 1,445 are Swedes; 1,243
Norwegians; 1,020 Germans; 677
Irish; 674 English. Every other
foreign country is represented ex
cept Roumania, and Russian, Ger
man and Austrian Poland; Luxem

there being but on* from that coun
try; Cuba next with two. Only
two per cent, of the white inhabit

of the females. The total number

The P.-I. pays: “According to re
cent advices there is little possibil
ity of the delegate bill being passed.
The Nelson bill for the election of
a delegate by the people is opposed
by all the territorial committee ex
cept Mr. Patterson. Lacey and
many others, while anxious to see
■ a delegate elected will not stand for
an appointed delegate. The ques
tion is so badly muddled that there
•is little chance of any favorable
action this year.
