terest in the Lucky gulch placer
ground, besides several claims on lower
V*ldez creek The Lucky Caleb

the other ground the season has been
ievoted to the installation of hydraulic !
machinery and making preparations

Tbe New Strike
Yesterday’s arrivals from Valdez
Cieek saya that there is no doubt of
tbe recently reported placer strike on
that stream being tbe biggest thing on
this side of tbe Alaska range. Tbe find
w&s made on Tammany bench, right
limit of Valdez Creek, adjoining No 2
above discovery. The claim is owned \
by Pete Monahan, who bought out tbe
interests of his partners in the ground
tome time ago.
The rim r^ck on this bench is about
feet above tbe creek and a tunnel
200 #eet long has been run in on this
rim. in pay all the way. The gravel
for the full - height of the funnel ent
ries pay, and on the bed rock is e*i ec
tally rich, running as high as tin to the
in*n Where work is now te*iug carried
on it it 120 feet below the surface of
the ground. Several men will remain
on tbe creek all winter to run a 70-foot
drainage tunnel through the rim rock
so as to drain the pay ground where it.
dips back from the outer rim level.
Monahan will be out some time in
December.
\Vhile theoccuranee at the canyon is
deplorable and the men who are guilty
«,f doing the shooting should receive
f i e full penalty of the law, it would be
well for tho citizens of Valdez to take
into consideration the fact that the
machinery of the law has been set at
w,»~k anti that full punishment will un
doubtedly iw meted out to those who are
guilty. There has been considerable
talk on the streets of the people taking
.he matter into their own bands, but
(his seotiment should be discouraged.
It is the wish of the officials of the
Alaska Home Railway that the trial of
these men abouid tie proceeded with io
fair and just manner according to
la v, «ud it would be a matter for ever
. idling regret, if the citizens should, in
’he excitement of the moment, endeav
or to take the law into their own
hand*.
