Valdez Creek

Since Valdez creek has become some- what we'll known through the reports of rich gold diggings in that section of the territory, many are planning to go in there this winter and are asking for the best route. In one respect the creek is unfortunately named. The name that the creek bears has led to published statements that rich gold strike has been made near Valdez on Valdez creek. This creek is hundreds of miles from Valdez and is not more easily reached from that town than from some other places.
 Some have gone in from Valdez be- cause no supplies were to be obtained last winter near the location of the creek The situation will be changed this winter The A. c. Company plans to place base of supplies within about seventy five miles of this rich gold field and are said to be taking orders for supplies at the present time. Out fits can also be secured at Knik and the Station. Parties can also ship their supplies in by way of Cook inlet in the summer, and from there they can be taken up the river in boats and cached for winter use.
 In the winter time the most practic- able route to Valdez creek is by way of Seward. Parties land ing at Seward can go over the trail to Knik and Su- sitna Station, there get their outfits and go up the rivers on the ice. It is possible to reach Valdez creek in this way in about half the time it would require if the start was made from Valdez, because the trail is not more than half as long and supplies do not have to be packed for such long dis tance.-Seward Gateway.

who proved the marriage. The coan-
tess gave evidence in support of her
allegation that the marriage had never
been consummated. and the maid testi-
fed that the earl and the countess had
been living as man and wife.
The doctor testified to the Earl OF
Yarmouth's physical condition. but
counsel for the countess pointed out to
the Judge that Il was within the dis
cretion OF the court to annul the mar
riage IL II was proved that II had not
been consummated.
The Earl OF Yarmouth did not defend
the case. his lawyer satisfying himself
with pointing out that the evidence OF
the doctor removed any stigma placed
upon the earl by the evidence of the
piaintfff and that there were no grounds
upon which the countess could have
sued for divorce.
The judge pronounced his decree an
nulling the marriage without comment.
In the ordinary course of events It will
be made absolute in six months.
No mention was made of a marriage
settlement. and It was learned from an
authoritative source that. contrary to
certain published statements, the ques-
ton of revising the settlement has not
been discussed by the principals or
their solicitors and that Il Is not likely
to be discussed.
The fact that at a council of the fam
lily of the Earl OF Yarmouth It was de-
cided not 10 defend the action of the
countess made this possible. This
change from the previous determine
ton to contest the case is said to have
been Influenced by the evidence given
recently in New York at the trial of
Harry Kendall Thaw. brother of the
countess. for the murder of STANFORD
White, with regard to insanity In the
Thaw family. as well as the verdict OF
the jury that Harry Thaw was insane
when he committed this crime.
It thas been well known Tor the last
two years that the domestic affairs of
the Yarmouths were unhappy. The
earl's companions and his manner OF
living, it was said. were such that ne
