 road Project.

5. L. Colwell, formerly of Nome, writes to Deputy Marshal Fred H. An derson from Valdez that there is plenty of trouble in city affairs in that town, and suit was on to test the legality of the election of the members of the city council. The trouble started over the dog pound
 Valdez, Mr. Colwell says, is dead, and will be until the winter season, when people begin to come back to go into the interior. The proposed rail road from Valdez to the Yukon seems to be thing of the past, and Resurrec- tion bay, on Cook inlet, was attracting attention. and the scheme for building d railroad from Seward is as good as at Valdez
 Last fall the stream from the Valdez glacier got on rampage and washed away number of shacks. and did con- siderable damage to Kinghorn X Co. s wharf.
 Mir. Cowell says: Il think the Nome country is ahead of this and will be until there are better trails and means of transportation to the interior. The mines are between 200 and 300 miles from Valdez, and the trails are prac- tically impassable.' Mir. Colwell how ever, believes that there will be good diggings found for years to come.
 There were quite a number of Nome people at Valdez but most of them were leaving for other camps.
 Mr. Colwell says: Il think Captain Geiger is up against it with his new wharf; there is not business enough to make it pay"
 There promises to be quite rush to Resurrection bay next spring. The starting point of the proposed railroad is called Seward.
