NAZINA DISTRICT
FABULOUSLY RICH
Four Men sIuice Out $500 in Three
Days-Robert Blei Made
Millionaire.

Special to The Globe
TACOMA, Wash, Sept. 9.-Authentic
reports received today from the new
Nazina gold diggings in the Copper
river valley, two hundred miles inland
from Valdez, prove Nazina to be the
richest strike made in Alaska since
Nome was discovered. The best pay
seemed to be on Rex gulch, where in
three days four men sluiced out $1,000
in one sluice box. The pay streak ex-
tends along the whole distance of sew
eral hundred feet. Not over $4,000 will
be taken out this year, as the princi-
pal owners prefer to prospect prepar-
atory to opening UP their properties on
large and economical scale next year.
About four hundred claims have been
staked in the district, of which two
hundred and twelve are owned or con-
trolled by Robert Blei, of New York,
who represents a large syndicate.
Blei's men struck Nazina river just
after gold was discovered and located
claims in every direction. Blei is made
a millionaire many times over.
Copper nuggets vary in size from a
pinhead to hundred pounds in weight
and assay at SO per cent. The whole
bedrock is covered with this copper
along with the gold. AS now prospect
ed the Nazina district covers two hum
dred square miles. Gold is found even
ly distributed along the creeks, and the
benches are as rich as the creeks. The
average depth to bedrock Is four to
six feet, with an abundance Of water
and timber for mining purposes.

HENRY w. GRADY
DROPS OUT OF SIGHT
Son Of the Late Editor of the Atlanta
Constitution Has Been Missing
for Several Days.

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 9.-Henry w.
Grady has disappeared and his friends
and relatives are much concerned. Mr..
Grady Is the only son of the late Hen
ry w. Grady, editor of the Atlanta
Constitution, who at the time of his
death, was probably the most popular
man in the South. Young Grady was
last seen at Norfolk, Va, on Friday
of last week, when he left the hotel
where he was stopping with his wife
and child in order to secure transporta-
tion for the return trip to Atlanta, his
home. Since that time no trace OF
him has been found. Mrs. Grady, pros
trated with grief, has returned to At
lanta.
Eugene r. Black, prominent attor-
ney of this city and brother-in-law of
Mr.. Grady, is now in New York In
quest of him, having abandoned all
hope Of finding him in Norfolk.
Mr.. Grady had only a small amount
of money when last seen. The theory
of suicide is not entertained by his
family or friends. His domestic life
was happy and he was in comfortable
financial circumstances. The police in
every city, domestic and foreign, will
be notified of Mr.. Gradys disappear
ance.
The missing man has for some years
been connected in various capacities
with the Atlanta Constitution. His
wife was Miss Grace Gould, Of st.

BARS SALE OF LIQUOR
IN SAMOAN ISLANDS
Government Decides Against Dispos-
ing of intoxicants for Cash-Row
With Blackjack.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 9.-The
government has decided against the
sale of intoxicating liquors of any de-
scription in our Samoan possessions.
Shortly after the triparte agreement
between England, Germany and the
United, States for the government of
the Samoan islands was dissolved and
the assumption of control of the Amer
lean portion of the Islands by the navy,
under which the government was plac-
ed, license for the sale of liquor at
Tutuila, was granted. Subsequently,
upon the recommendation of the naval
governor, the license was revoked, not,
however, before the United States vice
consul at Apia, Mr.. Blackjack, had
erected a hotel at Tutuila in which the
sale of liquor was carried on.
Shortly after the license was revoked
he lodged protest, claiming that the
prohibition of the sale of liquor would
work financial injury to him and rep
resenting that it's sale would in no wise
corrupt the morals of the natives who,
he represented, were not addicted to
the use of intoxicants. 1t was also rep
resented to the department that the
sale of intoxicating liquors was per-
mitted in the English and German por-
tions of the islands.
After duly considering the matter the
navy department has decided against
Vice Consul Blackjack, and the action
of the naval governor in revoking the
license has been sustained.

came generally known, and led to much
speculation as to the cause. An official
Of the Hartman lines stated that there
was nothing to be said regarding the
matter, except that the Denver gate
way was now wide open and 1t remain
ed for the Rock Island officials to say
how extensively 1t would be used for
Pacific coast business. The new agree
.nent regarding traffic was entered into
early in August, but has been kept a
fairly close secret until today.
Advantage to Rock Island.
The greatest advantage to the Rock
Island will come in traffic destined
for North Pacific coast points, which
hitherto has been turned over to the
Union Pacific at the river, the latter
company refusing to accept it at Den
yer. Under the new arrangements
the Rock Island will enjoy the long
haul on all of this business, thereby
securing an added advantage Of over
1000 miles.
An official Of the Hartman lines
stated the management had decided
that conditions had changed since the
closing of the Denver gateway and
that there was no good reason why the
roads east Of the river should not have
the long haul in traffic originating In
their territory. For one thing, he ex-
planned. the cost Of handling traffic
west of Denver by the Union Pacific
had greatly decreased, and this and
other new conditions made it good pol
icy to throw the Denver gateway open.

The following letter from L. P. Hunt,

My Dear Mr.. McCleary: The commits.
sion issued to me as postmaster of the
city of Mankato having expired last
May and as have reasons to believe
that you have fully decided upon my
successor, beg to ask relief from my
official duties at the earliest possible
moment consistent with the proper
transfer of the government business.
I am solicitous that no delay follow
this, as / have personal matters OF
considerable moment which require my
undivided immediate attention. Retir-
ing from the post which I have held
for nearly four and one-half years, do
so with the feeling that 1 have served
the public faithfully, and trust, salts

of the Mankato postoffice has been
gratifying. The improvements in the
service during the past four years have
certainly kept pace with the growth Of
the city, and the present high efficiency
of the clerical and carrier force is to
me. at least, a source of much pride
and satisfaction. I can therefore say
to you that in retiring do so with only
feelings of genuine satisfaction and
with assurance to my successor that
he will find on entering upon his du-
ties a force of employees thorough in
discipline, obliging and devoted to their
work In this connection, 1 cannot re-
frain from expressing to you my full
appreciation for your repeated acts of
kindness and confidence during the
term of my official connection with the
office and I trust that the many years
of friendship that have existed between
us may continue without end. Sincere-
ly yours, L. P. Hunt"
