APPEAL BONANZA CASE
Chittyna Company Will Appeal The Case Against Alaska
 Copper Go.

A telegraph dispatch was receiv- ed yesterday by O. P. Hubbard, the Alaska representative of the Chittyna Exploration Co.,, from A. T. Burleigh, of New York, instruct ing the former to make all neces- sary preparations at this end for an appeal from the decision render ed last November by Judge Wick ersham, in the case of Chittyna Ex- plOration Co. vs. Alaska Copper Co. in which title to the Bonanza cop per property on the Chittyna river is involved.
 The appeal necessitates the copy tng of all the records in the case |, amounting to about 10000 folios. The records are on file in the Dis trict Court here at Valdez, and the copying when completed will be certified to by the acting clerk, Mir. Henderson.

way. Although no attempt was made to make the trip in quick time, the conditions were go favor able in places that they did as good as fl miles in Q day. and one stretch of POO miles with four sum- mits to cross, they made in 37 hours of travelling.
 The Bishop, who has travelled over so many routes in his journeys through the country, is loud in his praises of this trail to the Panama. Either dogs or horses can be used at any time in the year. Now that he is familiar with the route he is positive that he could make the trip in IS days or less.
 The Bishop will remain here for short time and then goes to southeastern Alaska.

Wagon Road.

A telegram was received last week from B. F. Willard, saying "The wagon road and other bills will pass the Senate next week. Even show in the house."
 The bill has received the indors- ment of the committee on territor- ies and the committee on military affairs, and will go in under the head of army appropriations. This is a strong point in it's favor, and if it passes the senate, as is 60 con fidently stated, there is little doubt of its passing the house.
 If the bill does pass we may thank Judge Wickersham for his able assistance in securing ia vor- able action upon it. There is no doubt of the fact that his hearing before the committee on territories had more to do with the favorable report of that committee than any other influence that was brought to bear. His statements were logical, !, convincing and to the point. We were particularly fortunate in hay ing such an able exponent of our needs.
 Nothing would please the people of this section more. or be more to their advantage, than to have Judge Wickersham at Washington as our authorized representative. If the delegate bill passes, this di- vision will stand as a unit for Wickersham as delegate. There is no man in Alaska better fitted fol the position.

Rich Placer Ground Will Re
 Opened Up By Dickey and Party.

Geo. Dickcy, Harry Cockerill, Ray Willard, Norman Merchant and Turner left this week for Kaina, where a placer strike was made by Dickey, Cockerill and others last summer.
 The Kaina is a tributary of the Chittyna, and the strike was made at the forks of the stream above the canyon. The two main forks were named White and Black creeks. A 6OO-foot ditch was dug last sea- son by the discoverers, but it was washed out by high water before it could be used. Later in the season a sluice box was put m and little sluicing done, and the results were so encouraging that James Oliver, one of the discoverers. remained on the creek all winter. The remain. uer oi the party came to town, bringing with them some of the gold, which is all coarse and bright.
 The party located 5 claims. There is good fall to the creeks and plenty of water. It is the in- tention of the party to work the creek on a large scale, and this fall will see another stream added to the list of gold producers.
 Frank Remington, a partner of the man who remained on the creek this winter and T. P. Roch- ford have already started for Kaina, and Jim Marker and Jack McGee are also on the way in.

Rowe Favors Road.

Bishop Rowe strongly urges the necessity of constructing a wagon road from Valdez to Eagle, and believes that it should be begun at once. It would afford an opportu- nifty for the landing of supplies at at any point in the interior, and enable the miners to work their claims all the year, whereas now they can only take in sufficient food to last for the summer season. It would also afford communica- tion between the coast and the in- terior points that would be largely taken advantage of for many pur- poses such as the hauling in of hydraulic machinery, farming tools and many other necessary articles that would tend toward the rapid development of the country.

Separate Lighthouse District.
 The report of the United States lighthouse board, sent to congress by the secretary of commerce, rec commends the creation of a separ- ate lighthouse district in Alaska and the establishment, preferably at Ward cove, Tongass narrows, of headquarters, fully equipped buoy station, etc. The board also rec commends the construction of a new lighthouse tender for exclusive service in Alaska, as the vessels now assigned for duty in the 18th dis trict are not only fully employed on the Washington and Oregon

coasts, but are also unfit for Alas kan waters. The board points out the necessity for additional lights and bnoys along channels of com- merce, and says appropriations for that purpose will be exhausted by the erection of lighthouses on Guard island, Faraway island and Point Retreat, but the report does not specify points for additional light stations.

The newly elected council will organize next Monday at the town hall. The first duty of the council will be the election of a chairman, who will be the mayor of the town. In canvassing the matter we find that the majority seem to be in favor of s. Blum for mayor. and no better selection could possibly be made, either for administrative ability or for the business interests of the town at large.

CAP. GEIGER RETURNS
From Tanana With Glowing Ac.
 counts of That Camp.

What is probably the most im- porant and authentic information of the season regarding the Panama diggings is that brought in by Cap tain Geiger who arrived here Mon- day in company with Bishop Rowe. It's importance lies in the fact that he has this winter made the round trip between here and Fairbanks and pr nounces the route easy to travel and the quickest way to the Tanana camp at any season. Mir. Geiger left here November 29 and followed the mail trail to Fair banks, reaching that place January 3d Since that time he has been prospecting the various creeks and the results were amazing. He found gold everywhere and in large quantities. The pay dirt extends over large area and the gold Is evenly distributed down to bedrock. There is also plenty of good coal in the vicinity of Fairbanks, suitable for all purposes.
 On the claims there are many men getting out dumps for the spring sluicing, while quite num- Der are rocking. The latter is be- ing done under difficulties owing to the cold weather. Large returns are secured for the labor expcnd- ed. The Captain citas case of a man who paid $11, ,OOO for 2 claim and will, at the rate he is going, be able to rock out enough to pay for the claim before the spring clean up. One man rocked out $92 in four hours. On Fairbanks creek one man rocked out $40 in 10 hours. On the benches on Cleary creek 25 cent pans are common, without bit of waste dirt to ham, dle.
 Captain Geiger secured a lay on a claim which averages about six cents to the pan. He came to Val dez to get his family and some ne- cessary machinery, and will return as soon as possible. He is em- phatic in the statement that the Panama will prove the greatest mining camp in the world. He describes the country as low and rolling, over which horses and wagons could be run in any direc- tion. The people all over that sec tion are looking anxiously forward to the building of wagon road from Valdez, which they would use extensively and which would he . great factor in the development oi the country.
 The Captain, who is we'll known as a thoroughly practical man in road or bridge building. states tha, the building of a road between here and the Yukon is a very simple proposition and could be accom-. plished at comparatively small ex' pense.

fROl1 fA|RbAhk5 BISHOP ROWE AND HIS PAR.
 TY Consider This be5t1Idi|
To The Tanana. Shortest, Cheap. est Route Is From
 Here.

On Monday last Bishop Rowe, of the Episcopal church of Alaska, with his companion, c. W. Chilson, arrived in Valdez, after a 24-days trip direct from Fairbanks, which included Q three days lay over.
 The Bishops duties take him to all parts of Alaska, and is almost always on the go. Last spring he was in Valdez, and in April accom- panied by his wife and son he left for Skagway; thence over the usual route to Dawson. From Dawson they went down the Yukon to Nome. From there Mrs. Rowe and son took the steamer for California while the Bishop went further north to visit the mission at Point Hope. He returned to Nome in September, and he and Chilson took the last boat up the Yukon, the Bishop going to the Panama mission while Chilson went to Ram part. After waiting for the ice to form they again united at Panama, and on the 18th of November they left for Circle City stopping enroute at Dahl river, Stephens camp and Fort Yukon. Their next point was Fairbanks, which they reached in good time after laying over three days at Eagle creek. which is 70 miles from Circle City. The jour- ney led them through various min ing camps. at each of which mining operations are being carried on to the fullest extent. At Mastodon, Miller and Eagle Creeks especially large dumps are being piled up on each claim.
 At Fairbanks, Cinema and the surrounding diggings they found a population of about 300, all busy and very enthusiastic over the ap- parent richness of their district, where the pay dirt covers a very 1 large area.
 The Bishop studied the situation closely, and became so impressed with the undoubted permanency of the camp that he decided to erect a church and hospital.
 On February 18th the Bishop, accompanied by Mir. Chilson and others, left Fairbanks with a 6-dog team and one sled, bound for Valdez. The residents of Fair banks, who were solicitous of the welfare of the Bishop, protested strongly against the undertaking, believing it to be hazardous, not withstanding the fact that their mail is delivered over this same route twice a month.
 They went up the Tanana to the Delta. then up the Delta to its head, where they had arranged to secure food from one of the mail carriers. They waited three days but the much needed food did moi arrive so they continued on and were surprised to find that there was no divide to climb; instead they founl that the 'headwaters Oi the Delta were also the headwaters of the Gulkana. Their journey btonght them down the Gulkans to Copper river, thence to Copper Center from which point a good we'll beaten trail led to town.
 ,I The only place they ran out oi timber was a stretch of about 1t miles between the heads of the Gull kama and the Delta. No difficulty , or inconvenience was experienced , at any part of the journey, though they had to break trail most of the

 New Orleans, March As Liverpool was disappointing our market opened D to points lower, but shortly after ad- vanced 22 to 27 points on the bullish week ly figures The lack of demand for spots and desire to realize occasioned a break of about 26 points from the top later. Near the close though shorts covering superinduced an improvement of points from the bottom, making the net loss 3 to points on the day. The amount brought Into sight during the week was 1370O0 against 177,000 last year. and the total marketed from September 1 to date has been s,77s,O00. against s,9S9,o00 last year. The thirty-one leading interior towns during the week received 70,O0O against 91O00 last year. the loss In stock being only 15000, against 2500 last year, and the aggregate stock is 30s, 000 against 2SS GOO last year. The movement on It's face points to q crop of 10,562,o00. All indications, however. are that receipts will continue on a decreasing scale, be- cause. owing to the nominal export de- mand for spots, the amount in transit is considerably less than last year. caus- ing stocks in the interior to accumulate. AS an evidence of this the stock at the thirty-one leading interior towns Is 30S, CO., against GOO last year, or an in- crease of 10000. On November 13 these towns this year showed a decrease Of 156,- eco under last year; therefore. as they now exceed last years figures by 10000 they have gained 176000 relatively in the interim. owing to the lack of export de- mand, which has caused this very large accumulation While sentiment is very optimistic 1t is essential to have a good spot demand to make the situation heal thy in America. The sales of spots in Liverpool have been on a larger scale natural as that market is relatively cheaper than ours. Notwithstanding the danger attending the continuance of hav- ing prices bid up higher here relatively than any other market. traders seem to be carried away again with enthusiasm If their position Is correct on everything some unfavorable outside feature may develop, when least expected and make New Orleans dumping ground
 It would be more logical to establish basis and thereby attract buyers of spots, instead of depending upon manpu- lation to maintain values. As long as this prevails and the war in the east hangs over the market we advocate caution and deem 1t advisable to operate on con- servative lines.

 New York, March A feature of the advance this week has been the strength in Liverpool and the sales of 10000 bales spot cotton for three consecutive days with sensatonally light movement and the rather alarming situation in Liver pool if has not been a difficult feature to run prices to 16 cents. But the technical position of the future market and the fact that spinners have withdrawn from spot markets in this country render the situa- ton very different from that existing at 16 cents when we were so anxious to have everyone play the bull side. On a basis of 16 cents for May and July cotton there is a strong disposition on the part of hold CTS of spot cotton in the south to hedge In New York. On the last advance to TIA cents here this same tendency resulted in a collapse. While the present situation Is somwhat different In that there Is no general outside speculation long interest to be shaken on a crash, still the market at the present level and in view of the lack of buying by spinners is not what we would call a healthy one. Too much de- pends upon the attitude of one interest. It will be remembered that severe panic took place not many weeks ago because 1t was rumored that this one interest had sold out While probably not likely to be as severe we are of the opinion that a similar announcement at this time would result in another sharp break So far this reason we are not inclined to advise the purchase of cotton at the present time and would rather see decline in all the markets.

LOCAL MARKETS.

Spot cotton was steady in the Birming- ham market yesterday, and at the close of business good midding was quoted at 15bc. There is nothing doing in the local market. and no cotton is moving in vol- ume
 Several changes were noted in stocks and bonds yesterday. but the market re- mains fairly steady, with no excitement.
 In staple groceries all meats are off 15 points, but with this exception every thing Is steady. Flour continues an in- teresting feature, and the market Is rather unsettled.
 E Everything Is quiet along Morris ave- nue. All prices are steady and business is very good. Fruits are active. Some very fine apples are now on sale. Bananas are also moving along in a satisfactory man ner. but oranges are rather scarce New shipments will soon change this order of things, however. tt-
 Eggs and poultry continue steady. There is little poultry and eggs are moving every day. The heavy demand seems destined to be maintained for some time.

FAIR MEASURE
 OF BULL SUPPORT Cotton Market Responds Read
 fly to Aggression ADVANCES ARE EXPECTED Certain Spot Interests Appear on the Buying Side and as Prices Work
 Upward Liquidation
 Grows Heavier
ADVANCES ARE EXPECTED

New York, March 1.-The cotton mar ket opened steady at decline of 10 to 20 points under liquidation following dis appointing cables and rather heavier re- ceipts. however. and before the call was fairly completed, it developed that there was a fair measure of bull support in the market so that prices had soon rallied to about the closing prices of last night This was followed by considerable irregu- larity.
 The local bull leader appeared to be buying. certain spot interests also were appearing on the buying side and as prices worked upward the liquidation na- turally grew heavier, the light estimates for tomorrow's receipts and the expecta- tion of a bullish visible supply statement tomorrow helped to sustain the market as attracting some outside buying and the advance was not checked until May here reached 1so5 and July 1596, an ad- vance of 15 to 16 points on the active months. Then selling became heavier.
 Reports from the south still indicating some export demand did not, as a rule, reflect a satisfactory spot demand at the advanced prices, and the smaller longs seemed to fear that after an advance of about 11s cents In week, might have be- come somewhat over-bought and they were consequently inclined to even up for over Sunday. It Is also apparent that New Orleans interests which had sent buying orders here early, were selling in the afternoon, and in the late market prices weakened to about the opening figures on the active months The final tone was barely steady at a net decline of to 12 points on the general list. Sales were estimated at 500,OOO bales
 There were frequent intervals of az gressive bull support during the session and invariably the market readily re- sponded, but the instant this support became less active. a declining tendency developed and the day as a whole seem- ed to reflect apprehensions of a reaction among the smaller operators though the big bulls appeared to remain favorable to still further advances. The end week statement showed the into-sight for the week slighly larger than estimated early but still some 57000 bales behind last years figures.
