PORT WELLS MILL
SAFELY LANDED
Sampson Unloaded 75 Tons of Ma
chinery and Supplies at Hobo
Bay for Millard.
Senator B. F. Millard returned yes
terday afternoon from Port Wells on
the B. F. M. and reports that the
launch encountereu the worst storm
which he has ever witnessed in the
north. While coming over on Sun
day they were compelled to seek
safety at Knlklik and had difficulty
in securing anchorage as both anch
ors were dragged by the launch when
buffeted by the wind.
Senator Millard had gone to Port
Wells to witness the unloading of the
machinery and supplies from the
Sampson at Hobo Bay for the Gran
itfe Gold Mining company, operating
the Tatum property. The Sampson
found no difficulty in getting Into Ho
bo Bay and fortunately the weather
was fine when she arrived, permit
ting the machinery and supplies to be
transferred from the steamer to the
barge and from the latter to the
shore in safety. The day the steamer
arrived was the only one during
which' the bay had been smooth for
some time. The shipment consisted
of seventy-five tons.
The buildings which are now be
ing erected at the mine are well un
der way and the quarters for the men
only awaited the roofing and lum
ber, which was on the Sampson, to
make them habitable. Fourteen men
are employed on the buildings in ad
dition to those who have the contract
for the tunnel work. The senator ex
pressed himself as highly gratified
with the manner in which the prop
erty continues to develop.
LAUNCH GOES TO
KNIGHT’S ISLAND
Local Man Will Make Shipment of
Copper Ore From Mummy Bay
to the Tacoma Smelter.
H. J. Harvey, with the launch
Minn, left this morning with four
men for Mummy Bay, Knight’s Island,
where he has some promising cop
per properties. He will take out one
hundred tons of oie for shipment to
the Tacoma smelter and if the re
turns are such as to warrant he will
continue regular shipments.
There is no queution regarding the
richness of the ore, as he plans to
ship nothing less than twenty per
cent copper. It is a question of be
ing able to handle shipments under
present working conditions as the
property is not equipped for exten
sive operations.
Considerable work has been done
on the properly, fully $15,000 having
been expended on annual assessment
and other development work. A'
strong lead, carrying high grade ore,
has been uncovered but the owner
realizes that it is far from being a
mine as yet. -He has, however, un
bounded faith in his property and
hopes to demonstrate that shipments
can be made under the present crude
arranements which will enable him to
continue development by malting the
ground pay for the work.
Jim Black, Domanic and two other
miners were in the party and expect
to be one for some time, as they are
outfitted for several months.
Will the party who took the gun
off the blackjack table at the Eagle’s
dance as a Joke please return the
same? He is known. By so doing
he will avoid further trouble. Com
mittee, by W. H. Caswell. kf

COUNCIL HOLDS
SHORT MEETING
lies Franchise Not Passed Upon
—Grigsby Would Lease the
City Wharf.
'
Albert Grigsby presented a prop
osition to lease'the city dock for his j
principals, the Granby Smelting &
Refining company, who recently pur
chased the ^Ildas palne, and (who
plan operating a steamship line from
the states to Valdez and who would
use the wharf in connection with
their line. Mr. Grigsby also stated
that his company would enter the
hay, grain and feed business. The
matter was referred to the wharfage
committee and will be taken up at
the next meeting.
No action was taken in the matter
of the application of Alfred B. lies
for a franchise to erect poles and
string wires through the streets of
Valdez, but it is expected a special
meeting will be called as soon as the
street committee, consisting of Com
cilmen White, McCallum and King
have more fully investigated the j
terms of the franchise.
No action was taken regarding the j
appropriation of city funds to keep
the road open from Valdez to Wil
low creek.
The council decided not to pay Gus
Hogbloom for driving two piling
which floated away on the high tide
following the driving of the piles.
Councilman King bucked on paying;
for the driving of piling which re- i
fused to remain over at least one i
tide.

I
The Brighton left, for Pori Wells]
Ins morning with a capacity load of j
freight and ten passengers. Her decks [
were piled high with lumber con- j
signed to Long Bay, where Wiitsey {
ind associates are opening up t
property, discovered during the past
summer by Chris Peterson and Frank
White. Mr. Taubernek will have ‘
charge of the development work and
will employ two men until the camp
has been established when the force
will be increased. The prospect is
said to be very promising. It is lo
cated near tidewater and possesses
other advantages which will provide
for cheap reductions of the ores if
Ihe prospect developes into the big
mine which the owners believe it is
sure to do.
The lumber, which will be landed
at Long Bay, is for the Crandell prop
erty, which has been under develop
ment for some time and Is develop
ing into a big proposition. The own
ers will erect comfortable winter
quarters and will continue develop
ment work nearly all winter.
The Brighton is an exceptionally
good boat for the Sound service. She
is equipped with a Grey motor of.
ample power to enable her to make
headway in any ordinary storm and
is rigged with sail for emergency
purposes. Capt. Stamy is familiar
with every portion of the Sound and
will take no chances of losing his
boat and causing discomfit to his
passengers. During the summer sea
son, when storms are exceptional,
the Sound may be navigated with
safety In small craft, but at this sea
son of the year, when the weather is
uncertain, the careful ones appreciate
the advantage of being able to trav
el on a boat like the Brighton.
The best place to bathe Is nt. the
Pioneer barber shop; large tubs and
plenty of warm water.
