It appears to have become the custom of officials of the steamship companies at Seattle whose boats ply between there and this coast, to give anyone who applies for . passage to Valdez, an argument in favor of Seward. There are in town now several men who were induced to take passage for Seward much against their inclination. Their destination is the interior country. and they were assured that Seward was the shorter route. They learned the true state of af- fairs on their way up and stopped of here, and thus saved themselves . whole year, as they could not have reached anywhere from Sew ard this season. This same thing has been going on for some time, and it would probably be well for the people of Valdez to take note of the fact

Mir. Wright, of Grants Pass, Ore. last year made trip into Slate creek aud neighboring parts, to in- spect the country for platinum, and was extremely we'll pleased with the possibilities. There is q large quantity of metal being lost by those who are sluicing for gold, as it's true quality and value was discovered by only one or two pros psctors. Three years ago when cleaning up on Slate creek, a strange metal was found, which upon analysis proved to be platin- um. A sample of nearly an ounce was in the fall of 1902 sent from the PRosPEcTOR office to the Rainier Grand hotel, in Seattle, for exhibit. It was there seen by Mir. Wright, who is an expert in the metal. and on learning of its origin he made the trip in 1903. The consequent report to his company was so glowing that there is every possi- bility of his returning to Slate creek this season to secure some of the properties.
