MARIPOSA HERE
FROM THE SOUTH
Many New Large Two-berth State
rooms Have Been Added to Ac
commodations for Big Liner.
The steamer Mariposa, of the Alas
ka Steamship Co., in command of
Captain Charles O’Brien, reached
Valdez this mbrning at 10 o’clock
with 75 tons of freight for Valdez
merchants and a number of Valdez
passengers.
The big liner has been entirely ren
ovated since her last trip. Twenty
two new two-berth staterooms have
been added to the accommodations of
the ship, several lavatories on the
upper deck and on the saloon deck
have been installed, as have also two
new bath rooms for the accommoda
tion of the traveling public.
The officers’ rooms have been rais
ed to the new upper deck and pood
accommodations have been arranged
for them away from the passengers,
while the space formerly utilized for
officers’ rooms are now made up in
to first cabin rooms.
The changes in the steamer will
make possible the handling of more
passengers with better accommoda
tions than ever before, the cotnpalfy
desiring to give the tnfteling pub
lic of Alaska the best possible and
at the same time have plenty of
rooms for the tourist travel, expect
ed the coming year, as a result of
the publicity campaign inaugurated
by the company in eastern papers
and magazines, where they have urg
ed the “See America First” move
ment among wealthy Americans who
have formerly traveled in Europe.
Teddy Taylor, the popular steward,
and known to all the traveling public
of Southwestern and Southeastern
Alaska, is in charge of the steward’s
department on the ship.
The following passengers for Val
dez arrived on the boat:
W. McCray, L. R. Moses, W. VV.
Driscoll, V. E. Edgerton, Geo. Callo
day, T. Redineaw, Dr. Vance, Mose
Morris, H. Newbill, W. Jorgenson. C.

MAI ARREST
MORE ALASKANS
Men Involved in '(dunday-Shields
Cases May be indicted, is the
Report From Seattle.
SEATTLE, Jan. 17.—It is predict
ed here that more arrests will fol
low in the Munclay-Shields coal cases
now on trial in this city. No de
tails will be given out by the laud
office officials until the indictments
are secured, but it is thought by
many that a number of well known
Alaskans and many eastern capital
ists will be involved before the mat
ter is concluded.
The cases are now on trial in this
city, but up to the present no wit
nesses have ben placed on the stand,
as the preliminary motions will re
quire several days.
Frank Wright, Henry Deyo and
Bert Rutherford returned today from
the claims of their company near the
Valdez glacier.
BOUGH IS SURE
FUTURE OF ALASKA
Says Company Expects Large Tourist
Business the Coming Summer—
Administration Policy Changed
J. H. Hunch, general passenger ag
ent of lhe Alaska Steamship Co., who
is a passenger on the steamer Mar
iposa, is very optimistic as to the
future'of Alaska, claiming that the
people of the states have been awak
ened to the great mineral possibili
ties of the north and are determined
that the conservation policy, which
has retarded the development of the
territory, shall be superceded by a
more liBeral bureaucratic attitude to
wards the pioneers and prospectors
of the northland, who are to be al
lowed to reap some of the benefits of
the hardships they have undergone ip
finding and opening to the world the
treasures of Alaska.
Mr. Hunch is confident that the
railroad bill will be passed at this
session of congress and that the op- j
enlng of the coal land will assure j
prosperity to all the people of Alas- !
ka and to all the industries now de :
pendent upon British Columbia coal j
or California fuel oil. Thousands of j
men will be required in opening up;
the coal mines, constructing the gov- ;
ernment railroads and in the new 1
industries that will be developed. !
“Our company,” said Mr. Hunch, i
"is prepared to handle a large tourist;
business this coming summer and we j
have had the steamer Mariposa re- !
fitted and the Alameda will now go
on the dry dock and, be altered to
handle a largely increased business
and at the same time give accommo
dations on the boats for the travel
ing public of Alaska.”
Dr. C. H. Vance, the Valdez phy-1
a|cian, returned to Valdez today on ■
the Mariposa from luneau, where he j
went to visit his brother, who Is a j
leading physician of the capital city.
Dr. Vance is accompanied by his
mother, Mrs. C. A. Vance, and by a
sister, Miss Ruth Vance, and a neph
ew, Audrey Ingall, a lad of five years. ^
Mrs. Vance will make her home with !
her son in the apartments of the ,
doctor on Wall street.
Vice-president R. W. Baxter, of
the Alaska Steamship Co., came up
to Cordova on the Mariposa and re
mained in that city to make an in
svection of the railroad. Mr. Baxter
will come (o Valdez on the next
steamer to renew old friendship
among the Valdez merchants.
