COURAGE a RARE QUALITY.
sueeessfuI Men Of Affairs Tell Of
Their Experiences.

Several men Of affairs were discuss.
ing, not long ago, what quality was
rarest. One spoke for brains-but all
the others disputed him, and he pres.
emily admitted that there were plenty
Of fellows with brains enough and to
spare. Another spoke for energy
and all agreed that the capacity to
+. keep hard at it in season and out of
season was difficult to find Then a
third suggested judgment-the ability
to know what to do and what not to
do, when to do, when to refrain from
doing. 1t was admitted after some
argument, that this was rarer. II
have not met half dozen men in my
life" said one who was president of a
railroad, who combined Judgment
with enthusiasm. I'm inclined to think
that enthusiasm, intelligent enthu-
siasm, is the rarest quality"
Last of all fnancler whose name
is known all over this country, spoke
up Il should say that character is
the rarest quality" said he. Not
honesty. for everybody is honest ac.
cording to his lights. But the disposi-
tion and the courage to do right re-
gardless OF consequences and without
trying to induce conscience to say that
wrong is right or almost right"
After silence the railway man
said, THE world wouldn't move very
fast If that quality were less rare
than it Is"
1T doesn't move very fast" replied
the fnancier. "and that's the whole
eason."-Saturday Evening Post.

Another Big Clipper StriS.

Another valuable strike of cop- per ore was made this S"ason by James Mccarthy on Nugget creek, in the kotsina country. Several horse loads oi the ore, which con sists of bornite and glance. were brought to town by Mir. Mccarthy. The ledge from which the ore was taken Is, by actual measurement, l6O feet wide on the surface, and is stripped for distance of over 1900 feet. Tine location is on the side of the mountain, and is we'll situ- ated for operating. Nature has already done q vast amount of work on the ledge and deposited an immense dump at the foot of the hi,l. The location comprises four claims. Besides the above Mr. Mccarthy has also located ledge of free-milling gold quartz, an as- say of which gives five dollars q ton in gold and one ounce of silver.
 Mir. Mccarthy went in oyer the snow last spring, taking with him four men io work on his old loca- tions. Work was done for 23 claims, and consisted principally of stripping, and proved the lodges to be much larger and richer than had previously been supposed. Considerable powder was used in sinking on the ledge, and while ore on the surface is very rich it in- crease largely in valne with depth.

Showing Up We'll.

The Debney property in Solomon basin across the bay from Valdez, is proving to be very large ledge of copper ore. It was recently purchased on a small showing by by the Hadley Shelter people and immediately upon the closing of the deal men were put to work to investigate the property. The ledge being partly in evidence on the surface the first work attempt ed was to strip the surface and as- certain its width, which work was completed early this week. It was found to extend a distance of S2 feet from wall to wall. MT. Rhine- hart, the manager in charge, hay ing ascertained this satisfactory re- suit has put his men at work sink ing shaft to get at acturl' results, and the work of development will be going right along.

Survey Nearly Completed

A, B. Lewis, who took con tract from the government to es- Iablish an official base line for the Copper River country, has about completed his task and three of his men have returned to town. The work was started early in the sum- mer, beginning at point on Will low creek at the north end of Stick mountain near Tonsina. The line runs north 72 miles and thence east 12 miles and thence north again 36 miles which brings it within two miles of the Tanana river at'a point about I6 miles east of the Crossing.
 Mir. Lewis and Dan Sheehan went back from Copper Center to the Gakona river to put up some monuments on the line of survey. This being accomplished the work will be completed and the last Of the party will Le back in town by the end of the month.

RAIL |( ROAD
Will Be Received

Seattle, Aug 23-Alfred B. Hes arrived in this city to-day from the east and announces that the Val dez X Northern Railroad Company will build a road from Valdez to Eagle. This corporation, which is a merger of the Copper River & Panama, Valdez & Northern, Val- dez, Marshall Pass X Northern and the Akron, Sterling & Northern railroad companies, will make the present site of the town of Valdez the southern terminus of the new road. Mir. Hes states that the com .pany has five millions of dollars in the treasury, a stock issue of ten millions and a bond issue of twen- ty millions. It is the plan of the officers of the road. one of whom i- Col, Swanitz, now in Valdez, as soon as the road reaches the Cop per river, to build a branch line line sixty-fve miles in length to tap the Chittyna copper country. The trunk line will then be extenJ- ed on to Eagle, with another branch, running from the most convenient point on the main line, to Fairbanks.

The steamer Excelsior left here on the 10th of the present month on her way to the westward and when near Cloudman's island in the sound, saw a small sloop, about thirty feet in length, going to pieces on the rocks. The steam CT was a considerable distance from the shore, but the rudder of the ill-fated slOOp was seen floating near by. No one was seen either on the sloop or on the shore. In fact there is no shore upon which to obtain a footing, the cliffs rising perpendicularly from deep water and to scale which would be impos- sible. It is believed that those who occupied the boat have been lost It was proposed to the cap- tain of the Excelsior that he lower a boat to investigate, but as there was a very heavy sea on at the time he did not think it prudent to risk the lives of his men in what was evidently useless undertak- ing.

In an interview with Col. Swan itz this morning a confirmation of the statements of Mr. Hes was se- cured. The Colonel states that money in abundance has been for warded to him by the company to take up the work of construction. A pile-driver outfit, powder. horses, etc, have been ordered in Seattle, and as soon as they arrive a suit able wharf will be erected in Val dez. Piles will also be driven for the railroad across the flats. Three schooner leads of bridge timbers have been ordered in Ballard and will soon be on the way here. Col. Swanitz is now prepared to receive bids for getting out the necessary piling. As many men as can be secured will be put to work at once and as much work as possible ac- complished before snow flies.

corpse was unrecognizable. It was however, supposed to he one of the men lost in the endtavor to reach Middleton Island. This island, while within easy reach of the steamers coming to or leaving Val dez, is scarcely ever touched, so
 that a party might remain there for years if they could support themselves, without being rescued.

Probable Murder

What proves to be a very mys- terious affair occurred near the mouth of Copper river. on Eyak lake in June last. Early in the season Nick Meckam and c. D. Porter left here bound for their quartz property near Alganac there to spend some time doing assess ment work. On the way to their holdings they stopped at Orca, to which place their mail is generally addressed, and requested Jack Shepherd to forward any that might arrive. On June 20, in com- pliance with the request, Jack hired two natives named Mike and stephen and sent them off with several letters. They each took canoe, paddled down the Sound to Eyak. portrayed overland to the lake and eventually delivered the mail on the 21st. When about to return they were given several let ters to take to Orca but neither the natives nor their canoes have been seen since.
 The evening they received the return mail they are known toI have camped near by the place of departure and left the next morn- ing. Instead of putting back to Orca they went across the Copper ! River delta and camped at Castle slough, one of the branches of the branches of the Copper, evidently to secure food as part of the car cass of seal was found at their camp.
 Their delay in returning to Orca caused uneasiness among the bal ance of the tribe and party was sent out to look for them. Their trail was carefully followed up and the last camp was dlscO' cred where clothing and other articles were found saturated with blood. There were unmistakable signs of conflict and upon close inspec- tion what appeared like a grave was seen. The searching party began to dig but were driven out by the stench. Not discouraged, however, they followed up the trail, evidently of the murderers, which led them to the fish house of the Copper river, three miles distant, a building used by the cannery people when catching sal mon. Here was discovered pair of shoes smeared with blood and the letters that were given to the missing natives to post at Orca. At this point the clue ended as far as the natives were concerned, but a representative of the marshal's office wilo was near the scene but at a much later date, hearing of the occurance. undertook to inves- tigate the affair, but the sea was too stormy at the place of the sup posed tragedy to make landing. Enough evidence was collected to warrant the marshaPs office to
 make further attempt.
 Strange to say the boats used by the lost natives have not been dis covered up to date. The marshal, however, viii more than likely un- earth tine whole plot.
