OF VALDEZ BUY
Fine Map Showing All Mining Prop
erty Surrounding Valdez Issued
By the Survey.
One of the finest maps ever issued
by the Geological Survey was re
ceived on yesterday’s mail. It shows
on a large scale all the mining prop
erty immediately surrounding Valdez
bay, and gives an accurate location
of all the more important claims,
from thq Gold King, near Columbia
glacier, to the Ramsay-Rutherford
near the Valdez glacier. The prop
erty on Mineral creek is shown, as
Is the Mtfdas group, now owned by
the Granby company.
The topographic work was done by
J. W. Bagley and C. E. Griffin. Any
person who did not receive a copy
can do so if interested by making ap
plication to the United States Geo
logical Survey, Washington, D. C.
BILLIARD TABLES
STANDI PILES
The Pinzon Cigar Store and billiard
hall are installing an improvement in
the billiard hall that will insure to
the patrons of that place of amuse
ment the best billiard tables in the
country
Charl-.s R Crawford is certainly a
genius in anything connected with
building, and he has rigged up a
'miniature piledriver in the hall and
is driving a pile under each leg of
every billiard and pool table. When
the table is once leveled up it remains
so in spite of frost upheavals and
earthquakes, which so often play
havoc with most carefully leveled ta
bles.
ADMIRAL [VMS
REACHES SEATTLE:
SEATTLE, April 12.—The steamer
Admiral Evans, of the Admiral Line,
reached here yesterday and is billed
to sail north on the 15th inst. The
announcement yesterday of the se
lection of the ‘erminal of the rail
road resulted in the booking office
of the company being swamped with
requests for reservations for rooms
on the next trip north. The ship
will leave with a capacity load of
freight and passengers and it is pos
sible the company will charter anoth
er steamer to add to the fleet of
Alaska boats.

VALDEZ MINERS
TO WORK PLACERS
Take Outfit To Dutch Flat and Will
Sluice Ground All of Com
ing Season.
Carl Hauser and Dan Wilsey left
Valdez Saturday for their placer
property on Dutch Flat, near Wort
man’s roadhouse, with an outfit and
will continue sluicing as soon as the
frost is out of the ground.
Considerable development work
has been done on this property and
the owners are confident that It will
be a big producer during the coming
season.
Resides an ample supply of provis
ions, sluice boxes were made up here
and taken to the property. The close
proximity of the mine to Valdez
makes it an economical proposition to
work, and as there is an ample sup
ply of water and a long season in
which to sluice there is no doubt that
■it will add another mine to the pro
ducers around Valdez.
