A Removal Failure.

An attempt has again been made to remove buildings and project Mckinley street into the ground ad djacent to Valdez and z gcnerally known as the reservation. Two meetings were held this week for the purpose.
 At the meeting on Tuesday even ing it was announced that permis- sion was granted by the war de- partment for the large hotel build ing to be moved back on the ground of the government. A committee was then appointed to collect sufli- cient funds to pay for the removal.
 The question of removing the Shepherd building, which occupies similar position next to the hotel was then brought up, and the agent for Mir. shepherd refused to remove that building unless assured a full length lot. This proposi tion would necessitate the purchase of a piece ot ground in the rear of the present lot, so another committee was ap. pointed to confer with the owner of the rear land; both committees to report the next night.
 At the meeting on Wednesday night the finance committee report, ed that sufficient funds were as sured to warrant work on the larg, building going ahead; but objection was raised to the removal of any unless all could be moved.
 The committee on land reported no progress, so the owner of tn, required piece of land was sent for Upon appearing at the meeting h' refused to have any dealing in ih, matter unless with Mir. Shepherd
 This put the kibosh on the whole affair. So the buildings will q. usual stand on their old sites.

w. s. Gage, mining expert for George Mitchell, the Mexican mine owner. who has been purchasing, through Mir. Blei, some of our cop per properties, arrived in Seattle May 20, accompanied by w. Me- Sweeney and $. J. Robinson, also mining experts. They spent some time in California purchasing miE- ing machinery, which they will bring to this section, as well as a lot of machinery from one of Mitchell's Mexican mines. The outfit consists mostly of diamond drills to be used this season in prospecting their various properties.
 MT. Mitchell and Mir. Blel were to join the party in Seattle, in time to take the Bertha which left June 1th. Mir. Blei stated in Il recent telegram that the deal for the sale of the Gladhough mine was com- pleted and MT. Mitchell had pur- chased the mine.
 Nine rooms have been reserved at the St. Elias, by wire, for the party.

Death at Center.

COPPER CENTER, June 5.-Mr. J. $. Smith, from Stockton, Cal, on his way from Valdez to Slate Creek reached here on June list. He com plained of heavy cold in his chest. He went into camp close by Cop per Center on June 2d. He was found to be very sick, SO he was moved into building owned by R. Blk and cared for.
 He was given every attention possible. Mr. L. H. Stewart and R. Blk was constantly with him, but he rapidly grew worse and died at one o'clock on June 4th. Death was probably from pneu- monia brought on by cold and over exertion. Papers found on his per son indicated that Mir. Smith was admitted to the bar to practice law in Franklin county. State of Illinos in the year 1880. He was B years old. He was buried in Copper Center grave yard to-day. Papers were also found on his person that indicated to notify Mir. R. H. V.

GOOD GRAVEL FOUND ON
 LOWE RIVER.
Forty Claims 5taked
Only 23 Niles From Town. Fine Propo- ition For Hydraulic
 F1ant.

About five weeks ago F. A. Craig, F.. II Craig and G. C Wilson left here with a crude map given them by Fred Lenander to prospect a large gravel bed on upper Lowe river. They. readily found the place and spent about two weeks prospecting the same, when they were joined by C. J. Todd and oth- CTS. The very first pan tested gave good results, and in five weeks banning over d large section there was never failure.
 Over S0J res were staked be- fore anyone outside of those inter- csted knew anything about it. When, about a week ago, two of the party came to town, their ac- tions were watched, and return to the ground caused d stampede, By that time S40 acres of gravel, ranging from 3 to 30 feet deep, had been staked, and those who wen; 10 see the ground were surprised that such large body of rich pay dirt exists SO close to Valdez
 Since the above was located, and in fact since the stampede, Anton Eide has located 160 acres of the same wash lower down stream, and separated from the former by small gulch. The whole thing is evidently very old river bed, and is now overgrown with timber. The present river cuts deep through it, affording an elegant dump, and the supply of water for working the ground is unlimited,
 r, C. J Todd, with the limited means at his disposal, made q crude rocker, and in a short time took out about $5 worth of fairly coarse dust. This was so com pletely satisfactory that two of the party came to town and have pur- chased every yard of 36 inch can vas in town, also d large quantity of 12 inch canvas. A nozzle was secured, and tomorrow these will be landed on the ground, together , with whipsaws, tools and grub. The canvas will be made into pip ing, and in less than two weeks 800 feet of pipe will be in use washing d"wn the gravel through string !, of sluice boxes.
 Some of the great advantages of , this new discovery are its rich , quality as d hydraulic proposition, the enormous quantity of gravel and its proximity to town. That such discovery could be made at this date close to Valdez, and in q locality that has been passed by and walked over for about five years, shows that the country has been but poorly prospected. There is not the least doubt that thOus, ands of acres of just such land may be found when prospecting. not travelling, is attempted.
 The ground is located about three miles above Wortman's road- house, on the opposite side of Lowo !, river, It starts at the upper end of the second Lowe river canyon. and embraces the gravel deposits on both sides of the stfeam down into the Lowe river flat. It is . about 3 miles from Valdez,

 The ordinance to define and pun ish misdemeanors, which has been under consideration for two weeks, was passed with few amendments.

The ordinance as amended and passed is published on another page.

 The adjourned meeting Tuesday evening again took up the ordin- ance, and it passed with slight amendment. This ordinance makes it misdemeanOr to dump garbage or filthy waters of any kind into the streets, alleys or private prem ises, or to have upon the premises any foul or offensive cellar. out house or cess pool. Five days are allowed in which to remove all such nuisances after being notified by the marshal or health officer.
