NEW PLACER FIND
COUNCIL DISTRICT
Pay of Ten Cent* a Pan Is Found On
Dan Creek Near Council City—
Stampeders Leave Nome.
NOME, May 19.—Ten-cent placer
has been found on Dome creek In
the Council district. A stampede of
hundreds of miners has followed the
receipt of the news in this city. The
ground, however, has been staked for
many miles before the news was al
lowed to become public, but the pros
; pectors will locate on all creeks In
; that region hoping that some of the
pay may be found on adjoining
creeks, j
The men who made the find have
been working for several years in an
effort to locate the paystreak, as they
always felt certain that the pay
was in the ground. The paystreak
is wide and estimates indicate that
a big camp has been struck.

Council Hold Meeting.
!
The Valdez Weekly Miner, publish
ed by the Prospector Publishing Com
pany, was designated by the city
council at its meeting last night as the
official city paper In which shall be
printed the legal notices and all or
dinances published by the city. The
'Miner offered to do the work for one
cent a column line, while The Com
moner bid was five cents for the
same service. The rate heretofore has
been ten cents a line for first inser
tions and five cents for all subsequent
insertions excepting when the Valdez
Prospector and the Valdez News were
fighting for the city printing many
years ago and cut the rate to one
cent a line.
The council held a long session last
night, attending to considerable busi
ness. Chairman Von Gunther, of the
Wharf committee, made a report
showing that it had been necessary
to expend $212.75 on the city wharf
in order to be reasonably sure that
the city would not be called upon to
pay heavy damage should some citi
zen be injured by the poor planking.
All needed repairs to the approach
and dock have been made excepting
to the piling which Councilman Von
Gunther, after a careful survey, ad
vised the council of the need for many
new piles. In his report to the coun
cil the doctor advised the placing of
piling under the big warehouse and
also at other points where needed.
Eighty-three piling are needed to do
the work properly; a number of the
piling should be creosotod and some
might be cottonwood. It was esti
mated that an expenditure of $2,000
might be necessary to do the work
outlined and the council decided to
investigate further and also secure es
timates on the work. Fearing the
danger from fire because of the rental
of the dock warehouse to the Val
dez Mercantile Company, the council
decided not to rent it until an opin
ion could be received from City At
torney Charles Ganty as to the liabil
ity of the council personally should
the structure burn as a result of the
storage of gasoline. The small office
was rented to Frank Nelson for a
living room with instructions not to
store gasoline in it.
The council authorized the purchase
of a new hose cart needed by the fire
department.
E. P. Cashman was given a re
fund of $10.00 for overcharge on side
walk construction.
The city may pay the cost of secur
ing a surety bond for Treasurer E.
G. Ames, it being considered proper
for the city to bond the official and
hardly fair to force him to pay $50.00
for the necessary bond.
The matter of forcing the Tillikum
Club to pay a back license of $2,000
for the period since the club has been
inside the incorporated limits of Val.
dez was taken up, but City Attorney
Ganty advised| the council that the
city could not callect, as the only ac
tion at law that can now be taken
in the matter is a criminal action
against the members and all moneys
secured by any fine imposed would
go to fund “C.”
Attorney Guy Brubaker is confined
to the Valdez hospital suffering with
stomach trouble.

M. Olson’s on Hobart street, 6 o’clock
