RUMOR OF A STRIKE
On the Matanuska. Report Can
Not BE Verified.

The report of another rich strike
reached town yesterday. The re-
port places the find ut the head OF
the Matanuska, river, where there
has been several placer and quartz
claims staked. 1t appears that a
party of Cook Inlet men made the
discovery and having staked what
they wanted, they started to go out.
When on the way they met Chris
Hanson and told him of their find.
1t was impossible for Chris to
reach the place that season, so he
returned TO the Inlet where he
learned that the discoverers were
drowned before they had Il chance
to tell any one else.
Chris started for the place but
was followed, so he turned off in
another direction. Last spring be
accepted grubstake from party
here and in company with Dick
Windcmuller. started over the gla-
cier, taking the route by st. Anne'-
river. They reached their destina-
ton on the snow, traced up the
ground and have just completed
their locations.
The gold is said to be of coarse
nature and the quartzis white, with
stringcrs ofgold running through it.
1t is roughly estimated at from
$4,000 to $50, 900 per ton.
The location notices are said to
he on the way to town now for
recording.
As this report came out by way
of Copper Center, we wired to our
representative at that place fr full
particulars. He replied that no
one at the Center had any know
ledge of such.a stlike and Dick and
Chris had not been seen or heard
from.

NOW ON THE WATER THIS
SIDE OF SEATTLE
y Niles This Year
Will be Built, According to Helms
Statements in
Seattle.

+. c. Helm, of the Valdez, Cop
per River IL Yukon Company, in
an interview at Seattle, announces
that thirty-tive miles of the Valdez
Eagle railway will he btilt this
year, and that the entire 400 miles
will be completed within two and
onc-half years. The contract for
the building of the road has been
let to J. p. Mcdonald, of New
York, for completion IN that time.
Rails for the road are on the water
between Seattle and Valdez, and
will be distributed by Sept. 10.
Mr.. Helm arrived in Seattle
Aug. 6 and left the same day for
Portland. lie expected ~ return
to Valdez soon. Mr.. Abbot, an
other OF the promoters OF the rail-
way was expected in Seattle about
Alg. 20.
"We have had surveyors in the
Copper river valley for the last two
years, and now are ready to begin
construction" said Mr.. Helm.
Before the winter is over. we ex-
pect to bave the rails ready for Use
across the mountains for Il distance
of at least thirtyfive miles. From
Valdez the course of the road will
follow the Lowe river and the gov
ernment trail for distance of 100
miles. Here the tracks will ap-
proach Copper river. Valdez is a
considerable distance from the
mouth OF the Copper river, and the
lower part of the valley offers no
inducements to railway building.
In determining spaon the build
ing of the railway. the fact that
the Copper river valley is composed
largely of .aaHd agricultural land,
has been almost az much of Il con-
sideration as the mining prospects.
The soil OF the valley is remark
ably productive and the seasons
are of such duration that many
products may ,be grown. In the
next few years | expect to see thou
sands of people settle along the
line of the railway.
The great mineral wealth of the
Copper river valley, consisting both
OF copper and gold, is almost value
less without transportation facili-
ties. These we propose to supply.
Our company has secured promis-
ins properties along the river and
We intend to develop these along
with the railroad enterprise. 1t is
said by experts that it is doubtful
if any other place in the world con-
tains deposits of copper OF equal
size with those known to exist Ell
the interior from Valdez. We be-
lieye that the venture will prove
eminently satisfactory from tinan-
cial point OF view"

councilman to fill the vacancy
caused by the departure OF Simeon
Poot.
Mr.. Crary nominated J. l..
Steele for mayor, and Mr.. Steele
nominated Mr.. Crary for the same
position, saving that if the position
was one of honor, another member
was entitled To it as he had served
for one year, and that if it was a
position OF responsibility or a bur-
Gen, then it was theiuty of another
member of the council to take the
position. Councilman Crary posi-
lively declined to accept the Office
and Mr.. Steele was unanimously
elected, and on taking his seat, in
Il neat and appropriate speech
thanked the council for the honor
bestowed upon him for the second
tixse.
For the position OF councilman,
Mr.. McHie nominated AL. White.
Considerable discussion followed
but no other nominations being
made, Mr.. White was elected.
For the position of health officer,
Crary nominated DIR. L. X. Riley,
who was unanimously elected.
Mr.. Pete Cashman was unani-
mously elected fire warden.
Councilman Nellie reported to
the council that he had engaged Il
team and men to work on the diff
ferent s.reets, filling in the mud
holes, clearing out brush, stumps
and otherwise improving the streets
and alleys. The council approved
of his action and report.
The city attorney was instructed
to draft a tax ordinance for the
/. city and also Il health ordinance,
and the health officer was instructed
to report all births and deaths and
their causes to the city clerk, who
was instructed to keep a record OF
the same. The health ordinance
will also require all ministers and
magistrates to report all marriages
to the city clerk, whe will keep a
record of the same.

VENEZUELA BELIEVES
 STRONGLY IN ROOSEVELT.

Paris, December 16-The Matin this morning publishes a dispatch from Car acas. saying that a great many of the British and German residents of Caracas have sought out President Castro and expressed to him sentiments favorable to Venezuela. President Castro exhorted the foreigners to keep calm.
 The press of Caracas publishes violently worded articles against Great Britain and Germany
 The dispatch says also that almost all of the political prisoners Tn Venezuela, who were released by President Castro, have gone to Curacao to keep from aid- ing in the defense of the country.
 The Figaro publishes an article by Jean Izoulet, entitled, Roosevelt and the Latin-American."
 M. Izoulet says the venezuelan con- fict has brought four men face to face, Emperor William, King Edward, as the assailants; President Castro as the as sailed, and President Roosevelt as witness or arbitrator.
 The solitary man of the White House, warm of heart and cool headed, observes, reflects and waits enigmatic and feared. If the territory or sovereignty of Ven ezuela is endangered Roosevelt is ready to defend 1t against all.
 After citing from President Roosevelt s writings and speeches to support this view, M Izoulet says that the President of the United States is that conscious which disconcerts bourses and ehancel- lories and adds the Latin nations on both sides of the Atlantic are watching him with emotion and respect.
 Another dispatch to the Matin from Caracas says:
 ''The English are building Qualifications in the environs of San Felipes. In case of an armed conflict, Venezuela has on hand 32 249 Mauser and 5000 Remington rifles and some cannon.
