patch if it was received in Seattle

said nothing either in Seward or Val

other member of the Dora’s crew.

SOUND COPPER FEVER
GROWS IN VIRULENCE
Everybody In Valdez Has It Bad and
It Forms Chief Topic of Conver
sation at All Resorts.
Valdez has two marked features at
this time,—an unlimited coinage of
snow and a virulent epidemic of cop
per fever. Snow has no cooling effect
upon the contagion. Copper is king in
5 Valdez and is talked more around
hotels and all public resorts than the
court term, the dropping of the lid on
gambling or travel on the trail. The
strings of sleds following horses and
dogs in and out on the trail excite less
notice than the latest steamer, but
copper, like the poor, the people have
with them always, and even the
stranger who thinks he knows some
thing of minerals soon begins to feel
that he ought to invest in a pocket
glossary of technical mining terms.
The man who hasn’t got a pocketful of
sulphides, glance, bornite and chalet
pyrite, is poor enough there to excite
the derision of Job's turkey, if that
historic bird were on the ground.
Prince William sound copper is stir
ring up most of the fuss. Immense
deposits lie in the interior and have
been objects of interest for a long time
but the oldest man living cannot pee
into the future and figure when t< e
ore can be hauled out. The deposits
which lie almost at the water’s edge in
the Sound offer something tangible,
and mining men are making the most
of them.
Blarney Stevens, mining engineer
and general manager of the Reynolds
Alaska mines at various points in
Prince William sound and on Kenai
peninsula, came to Seward with Mrs.
Stevens on the Dora to remain a few
days.
