GOOD VEIN ON
COPPER CHIEF
>. L Likes Reports Opening up
Three-foot Ledge of
Chalcopyrite Ore.
Development work on the Copper
Chief group of claims on I’orcupine
bay in the past few weeks has ex
posed a well-defined vein of good chal
copvrite ore three feet wide. 1 he J
vein has been traced a long distance. J
The property was located two years
ago by S. K. Likes, and Horace Leach
and Charles Teeklenburg afterward]
acquired an interest in it. Mr. Likes
returned Sunday from the properly
after putting in several weeks tit the
assessment work, which resulted in
showing up the ledge better than ever.
The Copper Chief was the lirst real
copper discovery on the slope east of
the bay where so many locations have
been made this year. It lies below
the ground located by Mr. Likes last
July from which he obtained the 23
per cent assay. The strike of the t op
por Chief is directly toward the new
: diseovery and both are undoubtedly on
the same ledge, as the ore is similar.
A recent heavy slide of the glacier
which lies beside the Copper Chief
; carried away a huge mass of country
rock and left the ore body exposed for
, a distance of several hundred feet,
showing plainly the dip and strike of
the vein.

Steamer Yucatan arrived in port
from Seattle at 5 o'clock yesturday
afternoon and sailed for Cynic at .‘5 this
morning. She will take on canned
salmon there and will be back in three
days or less. Her local cargo was
-kl.nOO feet of bridge timber for the
Alaska Central and seventy-five tons
of general merchandise. The steamer
cut out Katalla and came through in
le*s than six days.
The street story that tlie Seward
and Santa Ana went on the beach at
Katalla is incorrect. Both steamers
suffered derangement of their steering
gears and floundered around some.
I From that the story started.

appointed Judge Gunnison in the First
division.
The statement is given out that it is
practically certain none of the Alaska

BUFFALO’S STEAM LAUNCH
KNOCKS HOLE IN BOTTOM
, The steam launch of the cruiser
]Jufi'alo. whose rasping shriek h;is
! wakened the echoes of I Insurrection
bay at frequent intervals during the
past month, knocked a hole in her bot
tom Monday morning while lied to
; the float behind the dock and is now
one of the things that were. The ma
chinery is all right and can still blow
| the whistle unless the siren got water
logged while the launch was dragging
the bottom before it was beached a
| few hours later.
The hay was rough last night and
the launch was sent over from the
cruiser to he sheltered in the lee of
the dock. The combers crawled
around to where the little boat lay and
put her down. While beating about
water-logged the boat struck some
thing that tore a hole in her starboard
side big eniugh for a fat man to crawl
through and she is now classed as a
dead one.
Arrivals from Latouche say that the
Reynolds industries there are practi
cally at a standstill. Work on the
tram has been suspended.

PROBING INTO
CANYON FIGHT
Preliminary Hearing of Murder
Charge Engages General
Interest in Valdez.
THREE MEN FACE ACCUSATION
Testimony Tends to Show General
Mix-up With Blame on Both
Sides for Deadly I ncounter.
Special to Tlio Daily Gateway.
Valdez, Oct. -4 — The preliminary
examination of George Ilazelet. the
local represetative of the Gugg'en
heitus, Edward Hasey, the man who
did the shooting in Keystone canyon,
and Duncan Dickson, (it doth not yet
appear what Duncan did) all charged
with murder in the second degree, is
now the center of local interest. The
court room is daily crowded, many
ladies being among the spectators. A
horde of witnesses have been exam
ined for the prosecution, and it is said
the defense will produce an equal
array.
It is difficult for the disinterested
spectator to obtain an intelligent idea
of this shooting affair, from the effects
of which one lahorsng man met an un
it imely end and live others will carry
life wounds. From the testimony
1 adduced, however, it can ho said that
| the Alaska Home Kailway people, or
: rather the alleged leaders of the con
cern, fully expected trouble with the
| Guggenheim crowd in their endeavor
; to enter the canyon.
ft canto out in the testimony for tite
prosecution that the Guggenheim out
! tit built a barricade of rock behind
j which their gun men could stand in
the event the Home railway people
! attempted to take their right of way.
The Home crowd knew of this prepa
ration and on the morning o! the
j march to the canyon a Home Hail way
j foreman named Kenyon voluntm-ed
to ascend the hill above the barricade
and throw several sticks of dynamite
behind the breastworks should they at
l tempt to tire on the Home people. He
i was dissuaded from this heroic plan by
i iilamey Stevens, chief engineer ot the
; Home road.

I mediately alter the shooting a repre
! sent alive of the Gutrgei heims. with a
■ prepared statement of the case, went
among the employes of the Hume
railway, asking for ami getting several
signatures. It is quite a c-incid nee
