Valdez Dock Company Reduce* Price
to $12.50 a Ton—Canuks Ab
sorb the Duty.
The Valdez Dock company today
announced that bulk coal would here
after be sold at $12.50 a ton, the
price which prevailed prior to the
strike, in British Columbia, which
forced the company to purchase the
poorer grades of American coal at a
higher price than the Nanaimo coal
and consequently forced them to raise
the retail price.
The company h ve 400 tons of
Washington coal on band which cost
considerably more than the British
Columbia coal, but th pr-'ce will nev
ertheless be reduced.
The Dock company and the city
entered an agreement several years
ago to sell coal at $12.50 a ton, ex
cepting when a ra'se is made at the
mines. In order to carry out their
end of the contract the company have
reduced the price with the first ship
ment. of Nanaimo coal.
Juneau, Ketchikan, Douglas and
Cordova have all been out of coal the
past winter on several occasions and
steamers experienced considerable
trouble filling their bunkers at Seat
tle, but Valdez has had no shortage
owing to the large stock carried by
the Dock company.
The coal companies of British Co
lumbia have raised the price of coal
50 cents a ton so as to absorb the 45
cents duty formerly paid by the
American importers.

Granby People Have 2,500-Ton Sail
ing Vessel Loading at Seattle
for This Port.
The big 2,500-ton sailing ship, the
General Henry Villard, is loading at
Seattle for the Granby Mining and
Smelting Company and is expected to
sail some time this month for Valdez,
where the supplies will be unloaded.
The Villard recently made a trip to
Nanaimo, where she loaded 500 tons
of British Columbia coal for Valdez
and was then towed to Seattle to load
the balance of her cargo, consisting
of piling, decking and lumber for the
new buildings and for the wharf to
be built across the bay and with the
mining machinery and supplies need
ed by the company for immediate
use.
It has been reported that the steam
er Latouche would tow the Henry
Villard from Seattle, leaving about
March 15, and if the cargo is not
ready at that time then the steamer
Cordova, leaving March 25. will tow
the sailing vessel north.
The contract for piling let by Judge
John Lyons to Tod Date is now -1
most completed and the big raft, will
soon be towed to Valdez.
The company will employ about 300
men this coming summer in opening
up the Midas property in Solomon ba
sin, which they purchased last fall.

Captain Tommy Moore is Guilty of
Bringing Us Some Excellent Coal
—Moore You’re a Brick.
The steam freighter Cordova, in j
command of Captain Tommy Moore, j
reached Valdez this morning at 8 j
o’clock with 200 tons of excellent, ex-j
tra screened' Nanaimo coal for the j
Valdez Dock company. The first real j
coal we have had since the coal min- j
ers in British Columbia went or- ]
strike. The coal will sell quickly and j
will burn longer than the Comax coal
we have been forced to use the past
winter, as nothing else was obtainable
on the Pacific coast.
Other shipments of Nanaimo coal
will follow and the dock company ex
pect to have good coal in future.
The Cordova left Nanaimo with
1,350 tons of coal and distributed it
at Juneau, Douglas, Codrova and Val
dez.
