Another Placer Find
Made On Lowe River By Stephens
 and Daniels.

F. M. Daniels and !. G. stephens have been taking advantage oi the early spring to do some prospect ing and this week returned to town with an account of find OF Lowe river, opposite Comfort roadhousc.
 The stream, which has been named Salvation creek, is admir- ably located for working, timber being plentiful, water abundant, and a good iajI providing fine dump. The prospecting that was done proved the gravel all through the basin carried gold, and in some favorable spots or rimrock pans as higi; as l5 cents were taken. Both parties are confident that they have struck a bonanza as a hydraulic proposition. They located ten as- sociaIion claims and preparations are now being made to do develop ment work this spring.
 This property adjoins some To- cated last spring by Bob Robinson, E. w. Adams and others. This find l. about two miles below the gnich in which the property of the Valdez Hydraulic & Gold Mining Co is located, and is evidently Il continuation of tie same pay streak

He states that the company has $40,000 that it is willing to lose in killing of opposition here The cut has been made and the success of this attempt of an out side corporation to kill off local concerns rests with the people. Ii the residents want 10 see seattle firm control the meat business, ana incidentally control prices they can help kill the local dealers by buying from the trust market. But it would he well in this con nection to consider the ultimate result. Consider whether you want a monopoly to exist here.

Road at Kayak
SiXteea Miles to be Built This
 seasCn.

A sixteen mile railroad will be built this year from the Kayak oil fields 10 Martin island.
 c. Christopher and Dr. W. Brum- ner, who represent the coal com- pany, propose to forward tine work as rapidly as possible. Soundlngs have been made at the island and plans drawn up, which, will insure d perfect harbor from which the Kayak coa. and oil can be shipped.
 Extensive work has been done on the coal lodges and it continues to prove itself the finest coal on the Pacific coast. It solves the problem of | coke supply for shelter pur- poses in the Prince William sound country. The coal body is enormous and the coal produces coke en- tirely free from sulphur.
 As a s,eaming coal, the operators claim it to bc of superior quality, which, if correct, will prove of great value to the government when the Martin island harbor is completed, as a coaling station can readily be established at that point.

Vacancy In School Board
F. M. Brown Does Not Qualify.
 Petition For Election

Owing to the failure of F. Nj. Brown to qualify as school director within the time specified ny the election ordinance there is now Il vacancy in the school board. The matter was to be presented to the council Monday witt. the request that a special election be called to fill the vacancy, but the school board was of the opinion that 1t laid with them to fill vacancies, so a petition signed by about B vot- CTS was presented to the board ask ing them to call an election. No action has been taken yet, as they are in correspondence with Mir Brown to ascertain his wishes in the matter, but it IS likely that a call will he issued soon.
 The ordinance provides that members oi the school board or council must qualify within thirty days after election or the position Is vacant. The Nelson bill pro- vides that the school beard shall :, upon petition of five qualified vol CTS, call all election to fill vacan- cies. This seems to leave the re- mainder of the board no option ex- cept to comply with the request of the voters.
