official report of J. A. Ferson, the
copper expert, who examined the
NicOlai and Bonanza claims last
summer, may he of interest to the
people here. 1t is the first official
report on these properties ever
published here.
"The kinnecot group consists of
thirty-one claims.
The Nicolai group consists of
seven claims, making a total of
thirty-eight full claims, or about
seven hundred and sixty acres.
The course Of the lead is north
east and southwest dipping to the
east. 1t seems to be u contact be-
tween lime and amygdaloid forma-
tions although on the Bonanza
claims, where the strongest crop
pings appear on the surface, it dips
into the lime formation, which APP
pears and crops out from 1000
to 1000 feet higher up than the
uppermost groupings of this body
of ore.
took a large average sample of
the groupings of the Jumbo group
which assayed "a per cent copper.
Then following along northwest
from this group the ore appeared
on the surface along near the con-
tact very strong, in some places at
least seventy-tive feet wide.
AS these mines are undeveloped
except the development that ma
ture has done, it is impossible for
me to report upon anything except
the ore actually in sight. AS far as
possible | made an exhaustive ex-
animation of the whole group and
| must say that | never saw any
thing like it before. Nature has
done more to develop this ore than
perhaps at any other place on the
Pacific coast, or perhaps in the
world.
Very conservative measurements
of the Bonanza lead are SIS feet in
length with an average width of so
feet and an average depth OF 80 feet.
Although the lead is much wider
and the ore crops out plainly in
sight, l have calculated it fifty feet
wide. TIE lead stands up in some
places fifty feet above the surface,
clean solid ore.
There is also broken down and
lying about in plain sight many
thousands of tons of ore which can
be shoveled up and shipped.
In my letter to Mr.. Bradshaw l
stated to him that there was from
$lO,OOO,OOO to $l5,OOO,OOO in sight,
and there is no doubt in my mind
from what l actually saw but that
there is many times that amount
in this group of mines.
The largest sample from the lead
l had assayed by Thos. Price Il
Sons in San Francisco. 1t assayed
72.5 in copper and $l2 in gold and
silver.
All that l can say is, from what
| have seen, fully believe that
with proper development that this
is the largest copper property in
Alaska"

Minority Report.

We give below the report of one
of the two committeeman who in
spected the ferry road. This re-
port was made by the largest of the
two men and should have been
treated by the Chamber of Com
merce as majority report instead
of minority report. Notice that
the report does not recommend the
payment of the bonus.
To the Valdez Chamber of Com
merce.
Gentlemen:
On, yesterday Mr.. James
Fish and | viewed the work done
by Rudolph Bros. under their YER
bal contract with the Chamber of
Commerce.
l found that they had construct
ed a bridge, with truss, across the
stream near town, and adjacent to
the slaughter house. This bridge
is about thirty feet in length. The
bridge has apparently never been
used to any extent, as there is a
good. crossing of the stream at al
most any point. In case OF high
water, the bridge would be valuable,
provided it could be reached.
About one and one-fourth miles
OF road has been cut through the
brush. The cutting is about eight
feet wide, and wagon can be
driven over it.
Two other bridges have been
built across branches of the glacier
stream. One of these is about 80
and the other about !. 60 feet in
length. They can be crossed by
wagons. They do not appear to
have been used to''a great extent if
at all. The covering is of poles, not
fiattened or secured to the string
ers in any way. They are about
nine feet wide, and have no guard
rails.
There is ferry boat at crossing
of the lake stream, which is avail
able for crossing. No wagons have
been taken across on it, but | think
it could be used for that purpose.
The boat is so arranged that it can
be drawn from one side to the other,
so that one coming from either side
may secure the boat for crossing.
The ferry and the bridges and
the road in general are not being
used, SO far as could see, by any
considerable part of the travel at
this time, and Rudolph Bros. have
no one in charge to collect toll.
If the road was widened through
the woods and made servicable, and
the bridges improved. think the
road would at times he used bv
pack-trains and wagons. 1t is now
used by footmen to considerable
extent,
FOrty-five dollars have been col
lected on the subscription list, and
turned over to the tire asurer, and
the list is also in his possession.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES.
sIGNsfHE PETITION.

PETITIONS TO, Congress are being
circulated throughout Alaska, orig.
mating from the Chamber of Com
merce of .SEaagway, that should be
signed by.every resident of the dis
trict. TIE petition is one on which
all the cit ljz!9? Of the district are in
accord, and the legislation asked
for is wan!!.!, we believe, by every
man. woman and child in Alaska.
The petition speaks Of the varied
resources Of natural wealth, includ
ing the Yss II areas Of untitled agri-
cultural lands, undeveloped miner
al belts, great fishing banks and
forests Of valuable timber, that up
on the enactment Of liberal laws
will teem with industry; OF the
obnoxious license. laws; the fact
that we haye no representation in
Congress. aud then very properly
petitions Congress as follows:
"To speedily enact liberal laws
for the District OF Alaska, to open
the land. to settlement and the
mineral wealth of the district to
the industry of the United States.
THAT such aid may be extended
as may be necessary to the con-
struction Of wagon roads, railroads
and telegraph lines.
"That its numerous, hardy, indus
trious and. intelligent population
may be. represented in the halls OF
Congress, : and that the Alaska
license LAW be repealed or so
amended that the revenue de-
rived therefrom, may be disbursed
for the aeeds of the District and
by the people of Alaska"
Now that a good and complete
fire apparatus has been purchased
and will soon be here for use when
necessary, the fire department
should be reorganized, and a chief
and assistants appointed or elected
who will.'have the time to attend
to the Work Ofthe department. 1t
would Probably be'a good plan for
the City Council to take the matter
in hard AND appoint a chief
and allow him IA small compensa-
ton fof4ifs services.
:"
The wrecking of the old reliable
steamer Cottage City in Wrangle
Narrows came as surprise to
everyone and only demonstrates
more forcibly. the fact that the
government should speedily estab-
lish light houses, buoys and other
aids to navigation throughout the
Alaska waters. Every one is hap
py that no lives We're lost in the
disaster.

There was q bitter fght in the

There was a bitter fight in the
republican convention over the
sheep question. The sharp poll
ticians knew that it was a hope
less fight for the ticket named
unless the Idaho farmer could be
made to believe the party was
not against him. They knew
the Idaho rancher was up in
arms at the republican proposal
to repeal the two-mile limit law
enacted by the democrats for the
protection of said rancher, and,
knowing the democrats intended
to maintain that law as long as
they were in control, they urged
that the rancher and cattleman
were we'll acquainted with the
democratic position, and unless
the party at least made profess
sions of standing up for them it
would walk into an open grave
when it went out of the conven-
ton hall. The sheep man is not
much given to deception; if he
has consideration for you, you
know he will go around and
leave you grass enough for the
mich COWS, but if he wants il
all he will tell you so fiat-footed
and proceed to.carry it out. So
in the convention the sheep in.
terests did not believe many de-
ception or two-faced business
and they refused to recognize
the wink given by the shrewd
platform professionals. No beat
ing about the bush for them
they wanted bleatingl about thu
bush. They wanted no falls,
colors, they wanted the party t.
stand on its real sentiments, tel
the people what to expect an,
then hammer it through by mail
force. None of the cunning o
the political prestidigitator TO
them. They wanted an open ex
preston against the two-mil
limit law in accordance with tn
understanding which has existe,
between the sheep men and tn
party for nearly two years, tina
the law would be repealed tn
moment the party could secur
the confidence of the people lon
enough to get into power. Th
bitterness between the polite
n and the straight forwar
ones is quite intense and ma
develop into the extreme stag,
