ON THE COPPER RIVER
OFFICIAL IMPORTATION As TO TMn
CONDITION OF THINGS.
Provisions Are Plentiful and Cheap
Enough but Many Men Have No
Money-Prepsring for Winter.

Washington. Sept. 2e.-The navy DEPART
ment has received a report from Com
mander Sebree of ths gunboat Wheeling,
dated orica, Alaska, Sept .. giving q
general outline OF the conditions at Val
dez and orica, in the neighborhood OF ths
gold deposits on Copper river. which con-
tains valuable Information to miners be-
cause OF its authentic and official char
acter.
The commander says that he found 500
people at Valdez on Sept. g. about 300 OF
whom were keeping stores. restaurants
and the like. There were about 200 re-
turning miners. and they were coming
back every day at the rate of from two
to Is. About 1900 people went over the
glacier and up the Copper river. and there
are probably now about 200 people in the
Interior, many Of whom are building log
houses and arranging 60 stay IN all win
ter.
In the interior provisions are plentiful
Men returning sell their outfits 50 that
provisions, clothing. etc, over the glacier
are selling at less than half Seattle prices
At Valdez about 65 OF the returning min
ers are being fed by the government
These men say they have money.
They are required TO work about two
hours day on the government reserva-
tion. At the hotel kept by the agent OF
the Steam aling company about 30
men were being fed and lodged for %
cents a day. and the agent offers 70 eVn-
ploy men at s. 80 per day. the money to
be used 10 pay passage to Seattle. Pro-
visions at Valdez could be bought at
about half Seattle prices and one trades
man was about to ship back a lot of pro-
visions that he bought from returning
miners to sell at Seattle at a profit.
Before the winter sets in from 200 TO
500 miners were expected to return from
the coast to the interior Some OF these
have no money and are asking IL the gov
ernment is about TO s-nd a ship to take
them out. Miners are crossing the glacier
in from Il to Is hours.
In conclusion. Commander Sebree sayo
that possibly 80 per cent. of the miners on
the coast have no money. Judging by the
price OF provisions at Valdez and from
Information given by the miners, there are
at Valdez and in the interior plenty oc
provisions for all winter for all the miners
In the Copper river country. so there Is
no danger of starvation.
The Wheeling was about TO leave OricA
on the 10th of September on her return
to Dutch harbor. and after coaling pro-
coed TO st. Michaels for a coast survey
