Welcomed by Citizens Commit. tee and Taken out on
 Railroad Line.
EVENING RECEPTION IN TOWN
large Number of Citizens Meet Territorial Executive in
 Club Rooms.

Gov. Hoggatt reached Seward last Saturday morning on the revenue cutter McCulloch and was met by a committee of citizens. Dell Clark's band was at the dock also to give the executive of the territory a musical greeting. Arrangements had already been made to run a special train to the end of the Alaska Central track in order to show the governor the results 50 far accomplished in railroad con- stuction.
 The train started from town about 9:3O with Gov. foggatt, several rail- road officials, the officers, sailors and marines of the revenue cutter and a large number of citizens aboard. The train returned late in the afternoon.
 The railroad excursion was directed by President Ramsay of the Panama Railway Construction Company. An ample supply of refreshments was taken along.
 A foamal reception was given in honor of Gov. Hoggatt in the rooms of the Kenai club and Arctic Brotherhood Saturday evening. It was managed by the ladies, to whom the task was assigned by the men because most of the male population went out on the excursion to the end of the railroad line. The excursion was strictly a stag party. The evening reception was given both to honor the governor eun> -i.e tbe ladies and everybody else an opportunity to meet him. Capt. Cantwell and other officers of the rev enue cutter McCulloch were present.
 After an hour spent in introductions Dr. Gibbons read poem dedicated to the governor. In response to insistent demand Gov. Hoggatt then made. a short speech. This was followed by dancing. Music was furnished by Mir. Shankland on the violin and Ernest Hyde on the piano. A stock of claret punch with champagne trimmings was compounded by Jack Deyo and served by the ladies,
 Governor Hoggatt sailed for Valdez on the McCulioch early Sunday morning.

COPPER DEVELOPMENT IN
 PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND
Extensive Prospecting Done This Year and Active Work in Progress
 rlany Places.

Copper developments around Prince William sound are multiplying in geo metrical ratio. Extensive prospectin@ and locating have been done during the present summer, induced by the favorable results of development work. and it is the opinion of mining experts that the copper deposits in the islands and shores of the Sound gre of incalcu- liable extent and value.
 This summer the Reynolds mine at Boulder bay has been added to the lisi of producers and another Reynolds property on Latouche island will soon be shipping mine. This and other properties near the famous BeatSon mine indicate that Latouche island k nearly all copper.
 Knight island is believed by the mining men who have eXaminedTt to be copper bonanza. Copper lodes of good value have been found in all parts of the island and a great many claims have been located this season. Considerable development work has been done also and every effort in that line has been rewarded with an excel lent showing. Various promising claims have been bonded to eastern capital.
 On both sides of Mummy bay, at the southern extremity Of the island, cop per sticks out everywhere. The Iver- son brothers are driving a tunnel on a lode which carries copper value of Slo ton and has the appearance of being very extensive. On the opposite slde of the bay three Seward men, F. R- Gray, w. M. Sauers and E. E. Hale. recently located ledge and brought specimens of the surface rock back with them which assayed $l3 ton.
 Other islands of the Sound have been prospected less, but copper indica- tions are visible on all of them, as we'll as on the mainland on both sides of the Sound. On the eastern shore is the great Ellamar mine, which has been shipping for several years. A wide copper belt, beginning at the southern end of Kenai peninsula, ap- parently embraces the whole area of Prince William sound, extending northeasterly to the far interior. Copper outcroppings are found almost at random throughout this belt.

VEGETATION THRIVES IN
 CENTRAL ALASKA VALLEYS
Cereals and Tubers Mature Well and Wild Fruits and Flowers Grow
 in PrOfusiOn.

Kahiltna, Aug. 2S-The spontaneous growth of hardy wild vegetation and experiments made with agricultural products show that great possibilities exist for profitable cultivation of the soil in the valleys of Central Alaska. Although the season is short the long hours of sunshine cause vegetation to grow and ripen at an extraordinary rate. The climate of the interior is warmer and the season longer than around Cook inlet.
 On June l5 planted some seeds here to test the fertility of the soil. It was then rather late in the season but the barley is now matured, the oats in the milk and the beans growing well. l believe any kind of crop could be raised in the Yentna valley.
 At Susitna station last year F. A. Churchill planted potatoes early in May and raised splendid crop.
 Through this region many species of wild flowers bloom in profusion; red raspberries, entrants and cranberries are now ripe, and wild birds of many descriptions are numerous.
 The land for about 100 miles north from Cook inlet is low, of a gla' cial sedimentary formation, with an occasional glacier gravel bank running sixty or eighty feet high as the foot hills of the Alaskan range are ap preached. All gravel in the river bars carries gold, varying from colors, along the lower ends, to coarser gold as higher elevation is reached.
 Extending from the mouth of the Yentna to the foothills, or about eighty miles, there is a dense growth oi spruce, birch, cottonwood and alder. It. is common to see spruce trees two and a half feet in diameter and twenty feet to the first limbs. Birch will run as large as two feet.

 S9S PER MAN ONE DAY
T. J. Jeter Writes That Miners on Kahiltna Creeks Nearly All
 Have Ounce Diggings.

HerndOn'S men on Nugget creek took out S93 per man in one days work recently, according to a letter written by T. J. 5eter to Judge Hll- dreth. just received this week. That was above the average but Jeter says the ground is yielding marvelously.
 Mr. Jeter is on Thunder creek and says he is taking out at least an ounce a day. He confirms the reports brought down from the upper Kahtltna creeks as to what different miners are doing and says that nearly all of those who are working claims where any thing has been found are getting an ounce day or better. The men on Poor Mans creek, he says, are getting from three to four ounces a day.
