TO CH VMiE STEAMER
RUNS AFTER JULY 1
Northwestern Boats Will Make Sew
ard Chief Western Port With
New Mail Contract
After July 1 some changes will he
:,ade in tit*- schedules of the steamers
the Northwestern Steamship t'om
»anv and Seward will lx* the chief:
western port, t>ut<ide boats will run
:i peer to Seward at least when their'
chief cargo is for this port and will j
return by way of Valdez. Until the;
“xpiration of the present mail eon-:
tract of the company all l»oats are re
quired to run first into Valdez.
This requires considerable extra
and unnece-sary steaming, as Seward
- jusT us near to the entrance of
Prince William's sound as Valdez.
Under the present rule a steamer runs
ip to Valdez to leave mail and cargo.
Pack again and over to Seward, then
<aok to Valdez to get mail for Seattle
and ore at the Kliamar mine. Under
he new ileal boats will simply run on
hree legs of a triangle and save the
ength of one side, coming to Seward
irst, then proceeding to Valdez and
F. llatnar. This will save both time
md coal.
The steamer Dora will make Sevv
rd her home port after July 1 under
her new mail contract. She will sail
westward from Seward and will not go
-o Valdez but will tie up here between
runs.__
Friends of Harry A. Smith in Sew
ard are unable to conceive of any rea
son why be should take his life. W.
G. Jack, who has been a friend of the
family for many years, says he was
not embarrassed financially, and Mrs.
Smith says that he was waiting in
Seattle to decide between two good
•ositions which were offered to him—
one in Alaska and the other on
'he Columbia river.
A barrel of crude petroleum usually
mean-, a barrel of 1- yfallons. One of
refined oil. kerosene, means a barrel of
50 gallons.

Cook Inlet Operators Arrive for Busi
ness of Summer Season
Among the Excelsior passengers for
Seldovia were A. LI. Litchfield, one of
the oxvners of the store at Susitna
station, and II. W. Nagiev, purser of
the 'teamer Neptune, which plies on
the Cook inlet run during the summer
M>;i'on. Mr. Nagiev says (’apt. Swift,
owner of the Neptune and theCasxvell.
the new steamer xvhieh is now coming
up for the Inlet run. will be up on an
early boat, and that the Caswell
should arrive almost any day. He
thought it improbable that the Cas
well will come in to Seward as it
means an extra run of forty miles with
out any business to bring her here.
Mr. Litchfield brought up a large
stock of goods for the Susitna station
store and expects to keep up a large
stock to meet the demands of the
Yentna district miners. He expects
to put in another 'lore on the upper
river, also, if the prospectors get busy
in that region this summer.
Sacking ore at the grass roots is
alleged to be the latest sensation in the
I lull frog district of Nevada. Report
affirm> that men arc taking long
strings of coarse gold from loose sur
face dirt in the Transvaal mine. It
makes a good story to print anyway.
