Cordova Mining
District Enlivened
Not only the McKinley lake min
ing district, near Cordova, but oth
ers, as well, are displaying excep
tional activity and interest these
days, remarked Chas. Goodall, Cor
dova business man, a visitor here
. for the past few days.
The future for that entire region
appears quite promising, he said,
and next spring will probably see
a return of mining and prospecting
reminiscent of earlier days.
Work on Cordova’s new aviation
field has been progressing in fine
shape and residents anticipate the
airport will aid greatly in develop
ment of traffic to and from, that
city.
Mr. Goodall loaded 600 tons of
Alaska coal aboard his big barge
Lawrence for his bunkers at Cor
dova; lump and nut. Another 100
tons of sacked coal will be taken
to the Cliff mine, near Valdez, by
Capt. Heinie Berger, of the MS
Discoverer, which is also towing
the big barge.
BACK TO FIRST LOVE
Alaska Egan, one of the Terri
tory’s own, bom and raised since
a mere child at and near Valdez—
with the exception of the last four
years in the wild and wooly south
land—left town yesterday on the
MS Discoverer, bound for the old
home town; his first love. “We’ll
do our part!” he stuttered, as
Captain Heinie Berger shoved off;
heading into a gathering snowj
storm.

Valdez News Notes
By special correspondent
VALDEZ, Alaska, Oct. 28, —C. J.
Todd, newly appointed Marshal for
the Third Division, is busily en
gaged in acknowledging the con
gratulations of his many friends.
He brings to his office the mature
judgement resulting from a life of
sagacious political observation, and
it is generally felt that his ad
ministration will be marked by
smoothness and efficiency.
Harvey P. Sullivan, who has held
the position for the past several (
years, announces that he and his
family will remain in Valdez, and
that he may possibly go into some
form of mining activity.

GRAND JURY
SUBMITS FINAL
REPORT, JUDGE
The final report of the Grand
Jury for the general April, 1933
term for the Third Division, in
session last week at Valdez, fol
lows:
To the Hon. Cecil H. Clegg, Judge
of the United States District Court,
3rd Division, Alaska:
We, the Grand Jury, duly em
panelled and qualified for the
General April, 1933 term of the U.
S. District Court, 3rd Division, do
hereby respectfully submit our
final report:
We have been in session for five
days. We have returned eight True
Bills and two Not True Bills. We
have examined 17 witnesses.
We have examined the condi
tion of the Federal jail at Valdez,
and find the management there
of satisfactory. We would recom
mend that a padded cell be install
ed for the use of violent insane
cases.
We have investigated the condi
tion of the Federal building at
Valdez, and would recommend re
pairs to the roof, painting the ex
terior of the building, and repairs
to several rooms and hallways that
have been damaged by water.
We feel that thp present fee sys
tem of feeding prisoners in the!
outlying Federal jails has proved
unsatisfactory, and would rec- (
ommend that a cost system be ar
ranged.
In our opinion the proposed re
duction in the working hours and'
wages of United States Marshals
will have a serious effect on law
enforcement in outlying districts.
We have also examined the con
dition and management of the
Federal offices in Valdez, and find
them conducted in a satisfactory
manner.
We have visited the Post office’
at Valdez and find that the ser-j
vice is good, and the business is
handled in an efficient manner. J
Our attention has been called
to conditions around Cape White-j
shed, near Cordova, and would
recommend that the Light House I
service place a light in this vici-:
nity. for the protection of fisher-.
men and clam diggers who work!
in this section during tile winter!
months.
We do not believe that the fees
for jurors and witnesses do noti
cover actual living . expenses in;
Alaska, and especially in the case
of witnesses, would recommend the;
fees be increased. We urge that the
old fees of $5 and $4 be restored.
We strongly recommend that the
headquarters of the Federal court
of the 3rd Division, be retained at
Valdez, Alaska.
Dated at Valdez, this 28th day
of October, 1933.
John H. Rosswog, foreman of
the Grand Jury.
Hugo C. Johnson, secretary of
the Grand Jury.
Alaska Line and
Airways Service
In Traffic Pact
0 Perfection of a traffic agree
ment between the Alaska Steam
ship Company and the Pan-Amer
ican Airways, Inc., with its Alas
ka division known as the Pacific
Alaska Airways, Inc., was announc
ed last week in Seattle.
This means the far-flung system
of Pan American Airways will rep
resent the Alaska Steamship Co.
in all cities touched in eastern
United States and throughout Cen
tral and South America, as well as
in the interior of Alaska, through
Pacific-Alaskan Airways. This
agreement is reciprocal so that the
; steamship company will represent
1 the air transportation system in all
! the cities where the Alaska Steam
j ship Company maintains offices.
Pan-American Airways is one of
| the world’s largest air transporta
| tioji systems, operating from ports
! in the United States to foreign
j countries. Recently Pan-American
1 acquired a substantial interest in
; the National Airways of China,
i The Alaska Steamship Company
j feels that the new arrangement
! will be highly beneficial in aiding
the development of Alaska and in
i attracting tourists who by the
joint steamship and air service
can make remarkable speed in see
I ing interesting points and getting
] back to their homes.
MEN REPORTED SAFE
