BOoms Valdez.

In an interview with Seattle P.-I. reporter. k. w. Adams, who recently left ! ere says:
 "VaIdez is getting her share of the trade that goes to Alaska, both on the coast and the interior, and she is-one of the best towns in that section of the country"
 This is the statement made yes terday by E. w.. Adams, formerly of the Valdez Bank X Mercantile company, of Valdez, and who states that he has decided to cast his lot among the people of Seattle and will soon enter the real estate busi- ness in this city. His family will arrive here shortly.
 Mir. Adams declares that Valdez is doing more business than she has done for years and that the increased business to the northern cities is having its beneficial effect on that town. Many of the cop per propositions which have been overlooked in the southeastern part of the country on account of the great gold findings, have at last been taken up and the result is that that section of the country is prospering and has good promises for the future.
 Edward de Groff, of Sitka United States Court Commissioner, is one of those who are heavily in- terested in. the Chicagoff island gold mines, and he says they are more than making good. Some of the richest quartz ever discovered in Alaska has been opened up on Mir. de Goff's property. He re- gently shipped five tons of ore and from it he received $1200. The ore is gold bearing.
