Oo*l—Ten Tens Powder for
Local Merchants.
The 'sjteanv freighter Seward,
in command of Captain Jensen,
reached Valdez yesterday after
noon with 580 tons of coal; 250
tons are from ftoslyn, flfly Ions
is sacked and the balance is Se
attle coal.
The boat also brought ten tons
bf powder for S. Blum & Co. and
the Valdez Mercantile Co.
The arrival of the freighter with
coal relieved the coal shortage in
Valdez, which was becoming very
acute, the citizens of the town
being forced to. borrow from each
other in order to make the little
coal go as far a- possible.
The Valdez Dock company has
experienced much difficulty in
having the orders tilled, owing to
the coal shortage on the Pacific
coast caused by the strike in
British Columbia. '
