THUSFER ORDER
BEEIJGGEHED
WIIili LEAVE EARLY I\ JULY
Soldiers at Fort Lfocum and Other
Alusku Posts Wilt lie Replaced by
Second Detachment of the Same In
fantry Regiment,
Orders have already been received
at Fort Liscuoi for the transfer of
the troops now stationed at that
place, and their replacement by other
soldiers from the States.
The transport Logan will leave Se
attle June 25 for the north with a de
tachment of the second battalion of
Companies E and F, 14th Infantry,
now at Fort Lawton. Ot this bat
talion Companies E and F will be sta
tioned at Fort William H. Seward,
at Haines, while a detachment of
these two companies will come to Lis
cum. Company G will be stationed
at Fort Gibbon, at the mouth of the
TflimiiH. Rivpr nnH Pnninnuv 14 u/ill
go to Fort Davis, near Nome. De
tachments from Companies G and H
will be sent to St. Michael.
The Logan wfll make its first stop
at Fort Seward, leaving the troops
tor that place and picking up the
present garrison. She will then come
to Fort Liscum and thence to Fort
Davis. This gives the troops a voy
age of several thousand miles and a
glimpse of the major portion of the
coast line of Alaska. The troops now
in Alaska will be stationed at Fort
Lawton, near Seattle.
The citizens of Valdez regret to see
the boys transferred, as they have
been among the most courteous and
pleasant young gentlemen ever sent
to Liscum. and have mad^ many
warm friends here.
COPPER CLAIMS
10 BE OPENED
WOKIv ON AN DXTDNSIVK SCALD
Properties at Sulphide Gulch Have
Keen l-’inanced in the States and a
Large Crew of Men Will He Dni
pltiyed this Summer.
The extensive copper properties at
Sulphide Gulch, about ten miles from
Valdez, on the opposite side of Lowe
■ iivor from Camp 'Comfort, will be
developed oil an extensive scale this
summer, according to a letter receiv
ed by Charles Sealey on the last boat.
l tie letter is rrom Dr. K. M. Doyle,
'.vlio is now in Philadelphia, and
states that the property, which is
owned by himself and Capt. Peabody,
will be worked this summer and that
a large crew of men will be employed.
The letter further states that all
the financial arrangements have been
made and that amp lb funds to
carry out the projected development
have been secured.
This property was prospected to a
considerable extent last season, and
some very’ good shotvings made. The
ore bodies are extensive and some of
the leads carry high values. Owing to
the size of the ore chutes, it is antici
pated the ore can be mined at a very
low cost, and that the property will
be a large dividend producer.
These claims were originally locat
ed several years ago by A. M. Powell,
the well-known guide and prospector,
who carried on the assessment work
for some years. Several deals were
made by Powell for the development
of the property, but financial arrange
ments fell through, and two or three
years ago Powell ceased to represent
the claims.
Last summer the claims were relo
cated and considerable prospecting
done with satisfactory results, some
high grade ore having been uncov
ered.' On this showing, it is evident
Capt. Peabody has sueceeded in finan
cing the proposition.
During the time the property was
held by Powell, several mining engi
neers of national reputation, visited
the claims and gave favorable re
ports.
15 per cent net at least, can be re
alized on improved properties. See
