Joe Stanton Brings Reports on
1 Routes and ^Predicts Good
Future for Camp..
Jne Stanton, the interior mail
carrier, reached Valdez last night
with the mail and brings much
encouraging news from the Chis
ana strikje.
Wagons are now being used
from CSulkana for 100 miles up
the Copper as far as the Batzul
jietas river, from which place
pack horses are used.
The road via the upper Cop
per is reported as being excep
tionally good and the trail for the
last end of the journey to the
diggings is also reported as good
with no bad streams to cross and
plenty of game along the route.
Mr. Stanton reports that 12
wagons pas'sed the Gulkana road
house while he was there, some
of them coining from Fairbanks,
where about 20 Montenegrins,
who ownjed teams in Fairbanks
working on wood contracts, have
stampeded over the government
road and up the Copper for the
land of easy money.
Lieut. Howard, of the 30th in
fantry, who is leading an explor
ing- expedition into the Chisana,
lost his wagon on the Gokona
grade when the wagon turned
over and dropped down the grade,
Smashing things up generally.
The horses and the two front
wheels remained on the road.
The lieutenant, however, contin
ued his journey, using the buck
board and packing four horses.
Froinre ports received at the
roadhouse he was making good
time towards the Chisana.
Claude Stuart and Harry Cleve
land were at Gulkana while I was
I here,” said the mail carrier,
“and they report most favorably
pn the future outlook for the
camp; $2,500 was being taken
put to the box length on discov
ery claim, while it is also re
ported that Ed. Madox had locat
ed very rich ground on Johnson
creek and was into the pay.
“From all I can learn talking
to those who return from the
Chisana, the future of the camp
depends on the benches, which
are frozen and have not been
prospected as yet, but which give
indications of carrying big pay,
and if llp*y do (lie camp will he
a humme'r."’
The mail carrier report's much
difficulty crossing Sheep creek,
which was swollen from I he heavy
rains, and when he arrived at the
creek he met three mushers who
had remained out all night un
able to cross the stream, and al
so unable to make noise enough
to wake the roadhouse people.

Eagles Give Hall—Fine Concert
Arranged for Monday Even* »
Ing, September 1st.
Arrangements have been com
pleted whereby the 30th regiment
band, now stationed at Ft. Lis
cum, will give a grand concetrt
and dance at Eagle hall on Mon
day evening, September 1st.
This band, since coming to Ft.
Liscum, has very kindly furnish
ed music for several functions
held here, in addition to open air
concerts, and the high quality of
the music was instantly appre
ciated by the public. The people
of Valdez are largely inhebted to
<Gol. O’Neil for this treat, as it
'.was only through his efforts that
the band was ordered here.
The forthcoming affair will be
in the nature of a benefit for the
members of the band, and it is
needless to say that the affair
'will be a success, as the people
of Valdez will turn out en masse
to show their appreciation of this
organization’s work since coming
here.
The local order of Eagles have
consented to assist in carrying
out the program and it is safe to
say that their well known ability
to successfully manage affairs of
this kind will make the coming
social event one long to be re
■ mcmbcrcd both to the dancing
and the music loving public.
The program of the concert,
which will ne followed by a dance,
will be published later.
LOCAL BREVITIES.
The jury today in the commis
sioners court befor1 Judge Shep
ard decided that, John Francisco
was not insa'ne. The evidence
showed that he was a little light
headed at time's and when full of
booze acted queerly. /tie testi
fied he was worth 850,non invest
ed in Italy, where he, owned a
large vineyard and where his
wife and children resided. Fran
cisco said that he was an Amer
ican citizen.
(ieueral foreman It. S. <iid_
ilfiigs, of the Alaska Hoad com- !
mission had his crew of 12 men j
working today to repair a new!
break in the city dike as the sud
den change of the water struck
the dike above' the break of last
.Sunday, thrcalicning to do great
damage to the work of the com
mission on the government dike.
A GERMAN
TREASON CASE
Stettin. Aug. 29—The arrest
last evening of Capt. Stein of the
Third Regiment of Field Artillery
on a charge of espionage is con
sidered in military circles likely
lo turn out as disastrous for
Uermany as was the case of Col.
Alfred Redl for Austria.
While the Third Field Artil
lery was exercising on the ma
noeuvering ground at llammer
slein yesterday the Colonel sent
an apparently harmless summons
to Capt. Stein. The Captain sus
pected a trap, and immedately
tied to the railroad station,
whence he departed on the first
train. A telegram sent to the
next station brought about his
arrest.
The case of Col. Redl caused
a great se nsation. He was chief
of the General Staff of the Ninth
Austrian Army Corps, and was
accused of treachery while ex
ercising his functions. The in
i'f rmation he was alleged to have
j sold to foreigiy governments was
of such an important character
that the German government, as
well as the Austrian government,
\vas forced to make a complete
change in its mobilization plans.
