NEWS NOTES
It has been stated that some mem
bers of the city council are now figur
ing that they can raise all the revenue
necessary by assessing the real prop
erty of the city at the price asked for
it by the owners. In this way the
municipality might raise about a mil
lion a year.
Representative Nichols of the Ar
mour company is in Seward at present
as well as Mr. Carter who is also with
the company.
From the Cordova Times.—A recent
placer strike in the Chisana district
demonstrates and substantiates the
pre-glacial bedrock theory, as there
were several strata of gravel encount
ered at various depths, ranging from
two to seven feet in thickness, and
yielding from three to seven cents to
the pan in fine gold; these strata
of gravel being glacier deposits.
Bedrock and pay has been found on
Dry Creek, a tributary to Johnron
Creek, on4he right limit. The claim
is owned by A. McGuire, who arrived
in Cordova on Tuesday’s train, and
who has worked for several months
trying to reach bedrock. This he final
ly succeeded in doing, through the
aid of a three-inch drill, which he
took to the bottom of the shaft after
it w'as impossible to proceed further
with pick and shovel, on account of
the water.
The shaft had been sunk to a depth
of 110 feet, bringing it on a level with
Johnson creek. After boring ten feet
with the drill bedrock w’as reached,
and $1 recovered from the three inch
hole, consisting of two twenty cent
nuggets and some finer gold, of a very
bright luster, and well w'orn.
The property waa at once bonded by
Commissioner J. J. Finnegan and as
sociates, and the work of tapping the
shaft from Johnson Creek is now in
progress.

Some complaints have already been
received by this paper regarding the
district in the southwest corner of the
city. The city officials are the people
to speak to on this matter and they
are probably fully alive to it.
During the high wind last night j
several tent dwellers found them
selves without a roof over their heads.
Quite a few of the tents blew down
and the occupants of the rest, to make
a pun, had no rest.
A great cloud of smoke was seen
rising from the homestead of Joew
Hoffman this morning and evidently
| there was some big lire there. Some
j one said he was probably trying to
reproduce some Belgian village scenes.
Irving A. Packard, son of C. H.
Packard, arrived some time ago in
Seward and will proceed to Woodrow
creek. He is a machinist and
engineer.
No word has been received from Ju
neau as to whether the legislature (
; has adjourned or not. If it has ad- J
I journed we may soon expect the ar
j rival of some of its members here, i
The time for adjournment has passed
but there was some rumor that the
governor might find it necessary’ to
call an extra session for the passing
of a revenue tax bill.
The fishing schooner Earl with a
cargo of cod and halibut has arrived
from Day’s harbor.
