FELT so LONESOME
One Passenger Was Booked for Valdez
 But lie Refused to Stop.

One lone steerage passenger wa- booked for Valdez on the Excelsior but he refused to walk the plank alone ano came on to Seward to be in style. No cabin passengers were booked for the railroad center of Prince William sound.
 When the Excelsior had been tied up at the dock in Valdez an hour or two a fellow passenger noticed the man who held Valdez ticket looking pen sively over the rail. and thinking that the lone man was absent-minded he nudged him and said:
 Here is where you get off,
 Not by durn sight" replied the ill-advised person who had bought the Valdez ticket, ''I ain't as bad off as you think. I've got money enough to buy Seward ticket and 1 ain't goin' to be left here by myself. I'm no soli- taire iend."

Copper River & Northwestern Trying To Find Route From
 Controller Bay.
LIKELY TO ABANDON VALDEZ
Surveyors in Field Locating Line and John ROSene Admits
 Change of Plans.
By Cable to The Daily Gateway.

Seattle, July 2O-If a practicable route can be found from Con- troller bay to the Copper river, the Copper River x Northwestern Railroad will change its coast ter minal from Valdez to Katalla or some place in that vicinity. M. K. Rogers, representing eastern fnanciers inter- ested in the road, returned today from Katalla. where for six weeks twenty engineers have been working to run a preliminary location line along the Katalla river to the Copper river. From there it is proposed to cross over to the copper fields of the interior.
 Rogers has secured options on nearly all the water front property in Katalla. John Rosene admits the truth of the report that the Copper River & North western contemplates changing its base to Katalla. NJ. J. Heney of the Cordova bay railroad is here watching every move made by the rival com panv. He has also been securing op- tions on Controller bay property. It is claimed that both companies will rush construction this summer if plans ma ture, and will continue at the utmost speed, each seeking to reach the cop per bouanzas first.
 The beginning of the line on Cor dova bay is responsible for the change in plans of the Roscne company. Tap ping the copper bouanzas of the inter- ior is the main object of building from any of the ports considered. It is claimed that the Heney road from Cor dova will have better route than can be found from Valdez and in addition it will have line to the Kayak coal and oil fields. By building from Ka- taIla the Roscne line would have its base in the fuel field. a great advant- age, and the only thing that holds back the project is the unsettled ques- ton of a practicable line from the coast near that point.

URGES PORTLAND TO
 SEEK ALASKA TRADE
Prominent Citizen Tells Telegram That Eastern Capital Will Help
 Build Steamer
The Portland Telegram says:

The Portland leleEr3m says
 If Portland interests will subscribe Sl5OOOO, capitalists in the East will furnish a like amount to build a S&OO,OOO steamship to ply between the Rose City and Alaska ports. Is the order tor the vessel is placed by Sep tember l or l5 it can be delivered in the Willamette river early in May. Plans suggesting the outline of the vessel, her machinery, cargo capacity and general type are being drawn and will arrive in Portland within ten days.
 "This is the information brought from the East by Wallis Nash, presi- dent of the Board of Trade. At meeting of the executive committee of the organization tonight he will un- fold the scene in detail. The position of Seattle at present as regards the Northern trade has been pointed out by eastern moneyed men, and Port land is being taken to task for lack of enterprise in not seeing the possibih- ties of commerce in the frozen north.
 e" T heard Portland criticised so se- verely for this oversight that it made me angry, said Mir. Nash. There is more interest taken in the Pacific Northwest among Eastern fnanciers than is supposed, and it is strongly evident from the fact that I received propositions of assistance. It is not to be supposed that the commercial inter- ests can seat themselves comfortably under an awning and note the pro- gress of the Alaska steamship plan, so they may later receive the proceeds without so much as lending hand. {"

.SOCORRO SHAKEN
 BY EARTHQUAKE
New Mexican Town Practically Destroyed by g Earth.
 quake Shocks.
By Gable to The Daily Gateway.

Fl Paso, Tex, July 19-Socorro, New Mexico, is practically destroyed by ffty-two earthquake shocks oc- curing since last Sunday. All wires to the city are down and only meager information has been obtained. The city hall and school of mines were de- molished and every building in the town is cracked or partially wrecked,
 The Santa Fe railroad tracks are covered with huge boulders which have been shaken down from adjacent hills, preventing trains from going through. It is feared also that the track may be destroyed in places. The railroad company is sending trains of box cars as close as possible to take away the panic-stricken population. The people are leaving nearly all their goods.
 The temperature of the hot springs near Socorro is increasing and the towns of San Marcia and Magdalena have been seriously damaged by re- peated shocks. It is feared that an ex- tinct volcano of the region is about to erupU.

ALASKA CAPITAL
 NOW AT JUNEAU
Proclamation From Interior De. partment Follows Opinion
 of AttOrney.GeneraI.
By Cable to The Daily Gateway.

Washington, D. C., July 2O-Acting Attorney-General Russell gave an of- fcial opinion today that the capital of Alaska was moved from Sitka to Ju- neau by the action of Gov. Hoggatt of the territory in hiring two rooms in the latter town for executive purposes. Pursuant to this opinion, which was given at the request of the interior department, Acting Secretary Ryan of the latter department at once issued a proclamation declaring that Juneau is now the capital of Alaska.
 The opinion of the assistant-attor- ney general is based upon the section of the Alaska code which provides that the capital shall be located at Juneau whenever suitable rooms for the use of the territorial officials may be secured.

Dr. HerndOn and Partners Work ing on Bonanza on Branch
 of Upper KahiItna.
STRIKE ON POOR MANS CREEK
Men Just Returned From Discovery Say Three Ounces Were Famed
 in as Many Hours.

Nugget Gulch on the upper Kahiltna is coming bonanza, in the opinion of R. E. Shanklin, who came in this week and reports that Dr. Herndon and two partners took out $4OOO last month on Nugget. Part of the time they had two men working for them but the hired men got tired of working for wages and went to developing claims of their own. As a sample of the Herndon output NIr. Shanklin brought five ounces of coarse gold which he bought from the owners to exhibit in Seward
 Another bonanza field in prospect IS Poor Mans creek, a tributary of Peters creek, the branch of the Ka- hiItna where the first discovery in the Yentna district was made nearly two years ago. If the statement that Ed Cone, the discoverer, banned three ounces in three hours is not eXaggera- ted it looks more like a rich mans creek. Cones partner, George l.. Woods, came in with Shanklin and exhibits an ounce and a half of gold which he says is half of the three ounces Cone took out. The other half was in nuggets which Cone proposes to have hung to a watch chain as a souvenir of his discovery.
 ShauHiu, Woods and T. F. Nelson went into the Ycntna district as soon as navigation opened, with a large outfit. but were unable to get it trans ported up the creeks on account of hfgh water. They cached their goods and mushed up Lake creek and across to Kahiltna. where they had grub stakes. All are well pleased with the country and will return next month to go in for the winter with full stock of supplies. There are no good trails in the region and the only way to take an outfit up is by stream, which is inn possible until the low water season.
 Nlr. Shanklin says that nearly every man he met in the region is hopeful and most of them enthusiastic On the upper creeks of the Kahiltna in several places the miners are taking out good values and some of them have struck it rich. He predicts that a large amount of gold will come out of the region this season. On Lake creek a great deal of work will be done as soon as the water recedes.

 Juneau, July l7-The Democratic territorial convention nominated Judge C. F. Mellen of Coppermount for the long term and ex-Gov. Swineford of Ketchikan for the short term as dele gate from Alaska.
 The withdrawal of Shoup changed the whole aspect of affairs from a Democratic standpoint. If Shoup had been nominated the Democrats would probably have put up western man. They will now try to unite Southeast ern Alaska, which has a large vote, upon their nominees.
 The attendance in the convention was small, being confined to residents of Southeastern Alaska, although many of them had proxies from other parts of the territory. Robert Jennings was chairman of the convention and Charles Davidson secretary.
 The convention indorsed Bryan for the next presidential nomination with great enthusiasm.

Nine tons of mail arrived on the Corwin, and there are only two clerks in the postoffice to handle it. Yester- day Postmaster Swanton received telegram from the department stating that no funds would be available for extra clerks until July l, the begin- hing of the fiscal year. A special meeting of the chamber of commerce was therefore called this morning, and money was appropriated from the chambers funds to employ six addi- tional clerks to handle the Corwin mail.-Nome Nugget

FIRST TUNNEL WILL
 SOON BE COMPLETED
About no Feet of the Heading Re- mains and Boring Proceeds at
 Rate of 30 Feet Per Week

Another month or a little more will see the completion of the first railroad tunnel. on mile 49. About no feet on- Iyremains of the heading according to the calculation of II. A. Mcclure, who is experimenting the work of boring. The heading is in 570 feet from the north end. The exact length of the tunnel cannot be fixed until the south portal is established Men are working now at the open cut which leads to the tunnel, but it has not yet been determined where the cut will end and the tunnel begin.
 Boring from the north end proceeds at the rate of about 30 feet per week. This will finish the heading or upper half of the bore, about August l5. The bench, or lower half, will be finished a few days later, and the track will soon follow.
 Tracklaying on mile 47 is proceed ing slowly with a small gang at work. No effort at haste is made because the force of tracklayers can easily put down the rails as rapidly as the grade can be completed until "the loop" is passed.
 Boring proceeds at a satisfactory rate on tunnels 4, 6 and ', on mile 5, and they will be finished long before the track can reach them, as some heavy rock work and grading inter- vene between the first tunnel and the second, which are three miles apart by the railroad line, as well as the long, high trestles.
 The forces at work are increased by the arrival of every steamer from Seattle and very few men are quitting now. A large number are located at the new camp on mile 5l to work upon the grade around and near the loop. Additional recruits will be placed in this camp hereafter, as adjacent parts of the line are nearing completion and the number of men needed elsewhere is steadily diminishing.
