New Lead Discovered Is Believed to
Be Extension of the Three-in
One Ore Bodies.
The property of the Black Dia
mond Gold Mining company, located
on the west side of Valdez bay and
which adjoins the Ellis Imperial and
Three-in-One mines, is showing up
well under development work. W. S.
Dow, who has a contract for the com
pany for performing this year’s as
sessment work came up from the
property yesterday bringing a quan
tity of rock showing free gold which
was broken from a lead twenty-one
inches wide.
During past years more than five
hundred feet of tunnel has been run
on the Black Diamond claims, but it
was not until late last fall that the
lead now being developed by the
miners was discovered. Prior to this
year the tunnels were run near the
beach line and the new discovery is
high up on the mountainside and is
believed to be the extension of the
Three-In-One lead now being devel
oped by Jeff Devinney and associates,
and which promises to make one of
the biggest mines in this district.
The Black Diamond company is
composed entirely of Valdez people
who are naturally elated over the
good showing being made by the
property under development work.
The location of the lead is said to
he such that great depth can be ob
tained by running a short tunnel,
which will determine the extent of
the ore bodies sufficient to warrant
development on a large scale.
The officers of the Black Diamond
company are: C. C. Reynolds. Geo.
Hobart, Harry Whitley, Jess Craw
ford, Geo. J. Love and L. Graham.
Before the gangplank is on the deck,
Joe is there your baggage to check.
He knows just where you want to go,
And his auto bus is not so slow.
When leaving Valdez it is just as well
To wait nntil you hear Joe’s bell.
He never yet has missed a boat
But connects with all that ever floats.
Joe never sleeps day or night,
He does his best to treat you right.
The traveling public well can bless
The man who runs the City Express.

The City Express will see you thru.

MANY VALDEZ COUPLES
ATTEND POST DANCE.
The dance given by the Social
club of Fort Liscum was a success in
every way. A large crowd of Valdez
people attended, as their dances are
fast becoming very popular. The
Fort Liscum boys certainly know how
to treat their guests. Dancing was
enjoyed until about 10:45 when the
crowd adjourned to the mess hall
where a light supper was served. The
music and dances were good and ev
eryone is hoping for another ball in
the near future.
“HYPHENATED NEUTRALITY”
IN THE SUPREME COURT.
The Supreme Court of the United
States as .well as President Wilson
and ex-President Roosevelt, are ac
cused of "hyphenated neutrality” by
the New Yorker Staats-Zeitung. The
paper says:
“Lord Reading sat at the right of
our highest tribunal, the Supreme
Court of the country, which is. often
more powerful than the President
and Congress combined, for it is the
court of last resort. It would not be
at all impossible that this highest
court of justice of the foremost nine
men of the country may have to con
cern itself officially with the loan,
for instance, 1n the form of an in
junction that might go to the court of
last resort. And Lord Pumpus, the
man who would eventually in that
case appear as defendant, has already
sat a( the right of these nine men,
honored as a stranger has seldom
been.
“With the pride that is to be
sought in the un-American sentiment
of servility, the organ of 'hyphenated
neutrality’ reports that this is the
third time in the history of the Uni
ted States that a foreign jurist was
invited to sit at the right of the
Chief Justice of the United States.
One man so invited was Lord Coler
idge, Chief Justice of England, and
the other Lord Herschell. But both
of these were of international re
nown in realms that had nothing to
do with the juggler’s tricks of the
three golden halls of the pawnbrok
er. The more, therefore,' was such
honoring of Lord Pumpus ‘hyphen
ated neutrality' on the part of the
nine men who, finally, will have to
play the role of the highest Judge
in affairs of that Lord.”
Shortage of Halibut Bait.
The fall run of herring in Alaska
is again overdue, and halibut fisher
men in Southeast Alaska are suffer
ing for lack of fresh bai.t. About the
only frozen bait obtainable is at
Ketchikan, and all the boats fishing
north of that point are compelled to
come to Ketchikan for their supply.

Charge of Fraud and Causing
Couples to Get Divorce.
-•
SEATTLE, Nov. 6.—Dr. Overton,
psychic and soothsayer, has been ar
rested charged with fraud and ob
taining money under false pretense. |

leged supernormal powers to profit
and is believed to have secured thou
sands of dollars from women in Se
attle and to have been the means of
breaking up scores of homes by his
frauds.

the doctor, laid complaint. His wife|
had confessed that she had gained j
