Wharf Will Soon be Completed.

The Perry returned from Virgin bay Wednesday morning with 250 piles for the new wharf. The boat was gone several days longer than was expected, as very rough wealth CT was encountered and the vessel could not steam against it with the heavy raft.
 The wharf will now be rushed to completion. The pile driver will be finished in few days and then the music of its hammer will he heard in town. Every one here is anxiously awaiting the time when they can walk out to the steamers on nice wharf instead of wading through the mud and water for a long distance to the waters edge, and then going out in d small boat and running the risk of being drowned as is the case at the pres ent time.

 Trail Notes.

TOPPER CENTER. April 15-- Sum- mer ls coming fast and the prospect. TOT a good seasons work was never brighter. The largest outfits sine, 1898 have gone through here this spring to the various gold and COD. per camps. People are coming from all directions to prospect in the copper country.
 A large amount of farming will be done here this summer. Truck gardening will be extensively en- gagged in as it will take large quantities of vegetables to supply the demand at this place alone to say nothing of the vast quantities that Will be wanted at the mining camps. This will be a very re. munerative business here some day Large areas will also be planted to gram this spring and much wild grass will be cut for hay. The pas, winter has demonstrated the fact beyond a doubt that stock can be successfully wintered here with but llttle care and feed.
 This great fertile valley should be surveyed immediately and emigra- ton to this section encouraged, The country will furnish homes for thousands of families, who could live in comparative ease and com fort.

 Very good prospects are reported from llliamna lake and tributary rivers. The gold running in size, from pin head to a pea. sam pies of quartz from that vicinity have been sent to Seattle for assay. It is believed to be good.

 Illiamna Mail Route Failure.
 The latest mail brought up on the Excelsior for the Illiamna-St St. Michaels route is now being taken back to Seattle as it reached H. Hanna too late to be taken over land this season.
 Six mails have been taken in over the trail this winter, but only one has been known to get through to St. Michaels. Notwithstanding these futile attempts, the men in charge have every faith in the ulti- mate success of the road. They have two small steamers, one of which they will put on Illiamna lake.

THE CHITTYNA IS NOT THE
 ONLY PLACE
.TH[R[ AR[ 0ThtQ5
And the Tanana is One of Them. Soo-foot Ledge Found at
 Head of Panama.

Everyone is talking copper. Gold Is Il secondary consideration. There Is no doubt in the mind of anyone who k informed on the sub ject that the Chittyna copper dis cOveries are the richest and most extensive ever found >o far. But since last fall the few vague rumors which have been afioat in regard to rich bodies of copper on the Ta- mana. have resolved themselves in- to something more than the idle talk of garrulous natives.
 Earl Y in the winter q man named McCleary came to Valdez from the head of the Panama, with the re- port that he had discovered 300 foot ledge of very rich copper ore in that section. and that there was Sl .UOO.WO worth already rxInsed. He remained here for two or three months, a,sl then returned for Mir. X. B. Hes. who furnished him with provisions and i> paying him a sal- ary for prospecting in the copper belt. Mir. Hes has also sent sever al men with horses and provisions, io that place. within the rnst few days.
 According to McClcary, the cop per deposits of the Panama promise to compare favorably with the cel- ehrated Bonanxa property on Chit tyna. The ground which he staked last summer iS located in the Nutz- otin mountains. northwest of the head of Panama. and between that stream and the head of the Nahes- ma river. This copper belt iS about 10 miles long and is thought to be Il continuation of the deposits on kletsan creek near the head of ths ! White river.
 From all reports there does not seem to he much native copper in the Nabe>na country, The ore is mostly pyrite, although colors of | native copper are found in the streams.
 On Kletsan creek the natives get many nuggets of pure copper, some being as much as , or 6 pounds in weight. This deposit was visited in 1891 by Dr. Hayes and Lieut.. Schwatka. and in lS9S Jack Dal- ton and Henry Bratnoler made a trip to kletsan creek and procured copper samples from the placer de- posits.
 i In addition to the places already mentioned there is copper on the Shusana, d tributary of the Tana- ma. which it enters from the east ward. Very little is known of this except what the natives tell. They , report hiyou entity in that locality. The Cooper outfit which came to the country in 1898, searching for copper. crossed the Panama and visited this section. His report was very favorable, but he has never returned.
 The summer route to the Tana- ma copper country is by way of the Government trail from Valdez to the mouth of the Chistuchina, then up the Copper to Batzulneta, an Indian village. located on q creek of the same name tributary to tho Copper river. From that point there are several trails across the divide to the Panama waters. It is not a hard divide to cross being low and timbered most of the way. Advertise in the PH0srEcr0R
