VALDEZ. ALASKA. THURSDAY, MAYS, 1904.
New Local Steamer.

The trim little steamer, Ragh- hold, of Wrargel, with captain J. M. Hofstad in command, arrived here on. Friday evening last and will enter into business on Prince William sound. She is a staunch.
 well built vessel, with speed of l2 to IA knots, and comfortable &C., commodations for about 30 passen- gers. She came here partly under contract to tow logs for the mill and is open for engagements of any nature that may turn up. It is very probable that application will
 he made to the postal authorities for mail contract for points along the sound, as the large steamers now holding contracts for delivery at Valdez stop only at Orca and Ellamar, and the many people liv- ing aloLg the sound must go to these places, when the weather per mits, to secure their mail, and they are very often from three to six months without mail. With such contract and the business that is now spreading out from
 Valdez, the Raghnold could be kept busy all the year round, and would prove q great factor in build ing up the population of Prince William Sound. On Sunday the steamer left here for Unga with men and tools. The captain is the owner of some coal property at that place, and will leave the men to work it this season, the boat will return in Il few days and may have a cargo of coal for Valdez.

VALDEZ p[A([R5 LATEST DISCOVERIES ARE
 NOW
 auidny dt foot d|dder
Suburbs of Valdez Will Be Pro- ductive with Little More
 Development.

Placer ground is being gradually discovered closer and closer to Val dez. Last year about 1000 acr, $ were located 20 miles up the val ley on the Lowe river, and are this year being prepared for hydraulic working.
 Four weeks ago larger gravel deposit was located along the Lowe river, but only ten miles from town This has been sufficiently exploited to warrant the beginning of work this season. Preparations are now being made for extensive work. Just as soon as the trail will per- init men and materials will be put to work there. and kept at it till the snow flies.
 The latest find is less than four miles from town, at the foot of the glacier.
 Five men, strangers to this sec tion, recently arrived here intend ing to prospect the interior. They came too late to go in over the winter trail, and were compelled to wait for the summer trail to open up. To fill in their time they be- gan prospecting over the flat be- tween here and the glacier. The y found gold in every pan, and in order to get good working test they put up sluice box, and are now running it steadily. They do not claim to have reached very profitable dirt as yet, but from the character of the gold recovered they are hopeful of striking i: very good.
 In '99 in sinking wells, Dr. Von Gunther and others, dicovered gold all through the gravel within the town limits, to as deep as they sank.
 Directly across the bay is the Solomon gulch deposit now being plospected with machinery to dc termine whether dredger or a hy- draulic plant will be most eff ieni. Heretofore prospecting has been done at remote points, but it is now gradually y nearing town and with good results.

Big Ones.

The following romantic bit of news is from the Popular Science Notes:
 On Kings island, Alaska, Indi- ans were found who by their rhy- slcal characteristics belong to the lnnuit or Eskimo family. having small black eyes, high cheek bones and full brown boards which con- ceal their lips. The majority of the men are over six feet high, and the women are usually as tall and often taller than the men.
 These women are also wonder fully strong. One of them carried off in her birch bark canoe an eight hundred pound stone, for use as al, anchor to a whale boat. When i, reached the deck of the vessel it required two strong men to lift it, but the Innuit woman had man. aged it alone. Another woman carried on her head q box contain ing two hundred and eighty pounds of lead.
 Both men and women are endow- ed with remarkable agility. They will outrun and outiump competi- tors of any other race who may be pitted against them.
 Their strength is gained from very poor food, and they frequent iy travel 30 or 40 miles without eating anything. They live on carrion fish and seal oil. The fish, generally salmon, are buried when caught, to be kept through the winter and dug up as consumption requires. When brought to the air they have the appearance of sound fisl. but the stench from them is unbearable.

TANAhAbO0N|N6 THE GRAND WINTER DUMPS
 WILL 1ie|d 0Ve j4O,oO0
Product Exceeding Previous Esti-
 mates. General Success a Assured.

Upon his arrival at Fairbanks some time ago, Judge Wickersham in looking over the ground predict ed an output for that section of about $4O0,OOO.
 The season fer cleaning up the winter dumps is now at hand, and the Judge has materially altered his opinion, as the following tele- gram will show. He wirel the good news to clerk Heilig at Eagle, and the latter sent it on to his deputy, Henderson, at this place.
 FAIRBANKS, May 4.-"The clean up will be considerably over my estimate of s4OO, O,OOO."
 If the camp will produce such amount as this, its first season, it's future is d great one, as very few of t;.e claims have been opened up this season. A great many who went in there last summer were forced to go out in the fall owing to a scarcity of money and food sup plies From now on it will be diff ferent- Some large comp anies have established stores there, and just as soon as naviga lien opens these stores will be stocked with all sorts of commodities The clean ups of this season will put plenty of money in the camp, and men or families will he able to live here as comfortably as anywhere else.
 Heretofore men wle desired to leave points on the Yukon or Tam ana for the states, and wished to remain in camp as long as possi- ble, generally took the last steam TT fer St. Michael and out that way. They were thus forced to leave at the best working season, some time in September. Now that it has been so repeatedly dem "nstrateI that people can go to or from Fairbanks by way Of Valdez in from l2 to l5 days, the camp will no' be broken up as early as usual Those desiring tY go out may work right along till the lat ter part of November, and then by going out via Valdez may he with their families or friends lay Christ mas. In going into the c"untry they ate now enabled to go in over the same route at any time through he winter instead of waiting till July for q steamer. Twenty days has been the longest time taken by any party this season to go either way from Valdez to Fairbanks, and some assert that it can be done in l2 days.

Wants His Library.

Judge Wickersham this wee k telegraphed the deputy clerk ai this place 10 send all of the Judges effects, including his law library, to Fairbanks. where, it is pre- sun,ed, he in.enls 10 establish his headquarters. If he retains his position as judge of the third ju- dicial dis r.cs. his regular circuit will bring him to Valdez each fall as usual. Havin; mining interests at Fairbanks he will probably spend much of his time there.
