V«ldez Willfeentf Men ' to Dig
gings to Get information ‘1
Before Advertising. ' ;
The meeting held in Moose
hall last night to take steps to
•investigate the new strike near
the headwaters of the Tasmina
and Matanuska rivers was well
attended. There was a notice
able absence of business and
professional men, not more than
j fifteen or twenty of them being
present. Mr. C. E. Bunnell was
appointed chairman and \V^ H.
CasWell acted as secretary.
iThd prevailing sentiment of
the meeting was that the people
Ipf Vajdez should act in a con
stjsrvative manner and should dis
courage any attempt to create a
sftampede before it had been dem
qfhstrated that the camp had mer
it. Letters from Knik and the
reports of the strike as printed
in the Seward Gateway were read
and the chairman then called for
information from those in the
hall who knew anything of tin*
district.
Mr. Dolph Smith was of the
opinion that the route over the
glacier was practical and that the
distance to the diggings would
be found to be less than 100
miles, lie thn'ughl it. would lie
wise to first investigate the re
liability of the strike, as he re
membered a strike reported from
that district six years ago.
After considerable discussion
a motion prevailed providing that
a party of three be sent to the
district to report on the condi
tions and value of tile 'Strike.
The routes to be selected by a
committee.
Messrs. Carroll and Cassidy
b<>th believed the distance to the
new camp to be less than 100
jniles. The latter was in that
district last winter and he was
[opposed to any publicity being
'given thn matter on the outside
before authentic information had
been secured.
Mr. Frame thought Valdez
should let the world know that
Valdez people were investigating
the strike in order that the
names of the district would be
linked together.
Mr. Ililehic believed i! would
be bad policy to send out any re
ports at this time which would
necessarily be based on the vague
information which the meeting
possessed. He was in favor of
sending in a number of men if
necessary to ascertain conditions
and urged the publicity commit
tee to use can' in (heir report
until (In1 men sent in had made
their report.
A committee was appointed to
raise funds to send men to the
camp to report on it and tin1 best
route to the diggings. Those
named were: Chas. Day, Dr.
Hoyle, Chas. Rudolph, Dolph
Smith and Jack Carroll.
A publicity committee was ap
pointed by the chairman as fol
lows: R. J. McChesney, John
Frame and Chas. Day.

Qold Queen, Consort of the Qold
1 .s-.’
King, Has Been Found at
Port Wells.
Specimens of rich quartz from
a new discovery on Esther Pas
sage are on view at the Senate
and are. proving a magnet for
the miners and prospectors in
town. The quartz is the richest
that has ever been found in the
Port Wells district and has only
been equalled in this section by
samples from the Gold King.
The lind was made by Ole Han
son, Frank Gustaffson and An
drew Burkland. The property is
located about the middle of Es
ther Passage on the mainland.
The district has been prospected
for several years but nothing of
a startling nature had ever been
discovered before. The lead from
which the samples were taken is
in heavy limber and was ojnly
discovered when, I he locators
happened to stumble across it.
They had found some float which
panned-well although showing no
free gold and were trying to
Jrace where the float came from
when they found the lead. Th#
quartz from the lead and the
pielces of float are similar and
no doubt are from the same ore
body.
The discoverers did not wait
to do any development work, but
slate that \lhe lead is exposed
for a distance of about -'on feet
and is from six to twelve inches
wide. Both ends of the lead are
covered by heavy timber. The
rich samples brought up were
taken from a payshool which is
at the upper end of the lead and
would assay hundreds of dollars
per ton. The property has been
named the Gold Queen, as Mr.
Poutus, the discoverer of the
Gold King, is also interested in
the new find.
The location of the properly is
said to present ideal conditions
for mining. The lead is located
in the midst of heavy timber and
is at an altitude of about 700 ft.
The men came to town to record
their claims and to secure sup
plies to begin the work of duvet-|
opmenl.
