Good Ore From Drier Bay.
A. W. Tibbitts brought in some fine
ore from the property of the Knights
Island Alaska Copper Co, a few .days
ago. The ledge from which it was
taken is 28 feet in width on the surface
aud can be traced for several hundred
feet along the claims. This property
Was purchased by the company last
winter and until within the two last
weeks uo development work has been
done on it, bu‘. the showing on the
surface is good enough to justify rut.*
ning a tunnel to tap the ore at a lower
level, and work on this tuunel is now
uuder way. Two hundred feet of a
tunnel will strike the ledge about 300
below the cropping. At the mou*h of
the tunnel there is a small timber flat,
where buildings are being constructed.
This is at an elevation of about COO
feet from the bay.
Mr. Tibbitts will leave on one of tLe
next boats to purchase a small gasoline
compressor plaut, such as is being
used by the Galena Bay Mining Co ,
and when th's is installed work can
be rushed on the tuuuel to the ledge.
The claims are situated at the upper
end of a small cove off Drier bay,
which has beeu named Kiacco bay
They were located by Clock «fc Akers,
who sold them to the company. Wm.
Egan is now in charge of the develop
ment of the ground.

Assistant District -Attorney Scott
states that Attorney Harlan will be at
Valdez during the coming term of |
court, presumably to take charge of i
the cases of the cases against the Jap-1
anese poachers. Nothing more than
was stated in the paper is known re
garding the charges against the Japs
who were arrested. It is probable that
they will be brought here on a revenue
cutter aud tried during August.

Two gentlemen of the TanaDa, Olaf ;
Johnston and Joe Ferris, have traveled
304 feet toward the center of the earth j

I It is reported that the Red Diamond

The matter of calling a jury for the j
coming term of court will Dot be de- j
cided uotil after the arrival of the
judge. If the jury is called 30 days
notice is required and that will con
tinue the term until the first of Sep*
