M|NERSAYS TANANA
 HAS RICH QUARTZ

Charles M. Hamshaw, d mining en- gineer who has been spending some time in the interior of Alaska, gave out the following interview on his re- turn to the states:
 "The region I passed through on the Panama has quartz that will make 1t one of the richest in the country some day. The Bonnified country is making the best showing for the req son that more miners, that is hard rock miners, have gone in there. There can be no question that in the future these districts will be the mec- ca for hundreds of miners looking for quartz.
 Tn those districts, too, are great opportunities for big hydraulic mines. Old high river channels that have from POO to 400 feet of gravel cary ing gold pan be found for stretch of more than 100 miles. I don't mean to say that this country has pros- poets, but there are colors in every foot of it, and with transportation to facilitate the equipment and working of these areas on a big scale there certainly must follow the develop ment into very rich country of what is now wilderness.
 ''ln regard to the quartz, the work now going on will prove it's worth in several places. What is surprising to me is the number of surface showings made of free milling ore of high grade. They are not stringers, and the for nation is one which makes the pros- pect worthy the attention of miners and capitalist alike. Besides, saw low grade specimens ranging in value from S8 to S15, taken from croppings that will alone make the country rich if the prospects develop into mines"

BASEBALL TEAM |S
 PAYING ATTENTION

Stewards expectations and inten- tions with regard to the ba seball sea- son next summer, as publis he'd in the Prospector of Tuesday, have caused the local players and the local fans to sit up and take little notice. Val dez had an easy time of it last season, winning every game played, but the indications are that there will be a rougher road to travel this coming season.
 Lack of practice and team work was in great measure the reason that the Seward team last year failed to give Valdez a stronger argument on the diamond, but the boys of the Resurrection Bay town are not going to be caught in that manner next sea- son, at least such is the inference to be drawn from the story coming from Seward
 Everyone in Valdez has a pleasant recollection of the trip made to Sew ard last year, as is the case with re- gard to the visit the Sewardites paid this town, and this year the entente cordiale will maintain to an even greater extent that was the case last year.
 The expectations that Cord ova will have team in the field will probably be realized, and with Fort Liscum this will make a four town cir cult, or rather four-team circuit, for it is probable that the games played with Fort Liscum will be on the local diamond. The fort will put strong team in the running next year, for there are some good players among the soldiers. The fort team was handicapped last year by lack of team organization and by the general mix-up consequent upon the com pany's being just establishing itself in new post.
 On St. Valentines eve the local baseball players will give another masquerade in order to raise funds for the Improvements of the grounds The grounds were placed in fair shape last year but there is much that is necessary to make them anywhere near what they should be. It is also desired to erect a covered grand stand and to protect the fans with wire netting. Better facilities for the scorer are also needed, and all these things will be attended to, for the players are confident of the sup port of the public. It is the inten- tion, however, to give the public a run for it's money, in addition to the run obtained by seeing ball games, and the ball players do not want to be obliged to pass the hat.

CAR|BOO BILL |S
 NURSING CROUCH

'Cariboo Bill" Cooper, now on his way to Seattle by the overland route and dog team conveyance, is sore. Carlboo Bill has been up against all manner of hard luck stuff since he first trod the material of which this mundane sphere is composed but ac- cording to his own statement he had to go to Fairbanks before he found the real ing in the discouragement line.
 According to the Fairbanks papers CaribOo was given noted reception when he arrived in the Tanana home of brotherly love, but according to Cariboo the inexpensive demonstra- tion of greeting is all that he did get-eXcept a grouch. Cariboo ex- presses his sentiments in letter to r. $. Hunt, the photographer, and in as much as liberty to have the letter published is given it is produced here. with:
 Fairbanks, Alaska,
 Jan. ?, O9. MT. P. $. Hunt,

 Dear Sir:-Your letter of the twenty-second at hand and am glad to hear from some one in Valdez as this town is the biggest joke I ever saw. You can't raise a dollar on your right eye. It. is a bad one, I was never so disappointed in a town in my life as I am in this.
 ,''Everybody is on the graft here; all working against each other. With no acception did ever strike a town aa bad as this. I tried to get up a business card here to make some money to send to you and MT. Can't well but you could not work S5 out of one. of. these business men with a double pointed pick and a half dozen steam thawing points. tell you they are hidebound. You can give this letter to the Prospector if you wish, for it is the truth.
 'I wont have money enough to buy a ham sandwich with when I leave here, but 1 had none when I left Valdez. Tibbett is a big joke. He could not rustic dollar if he was starving. It is all up to me but I will make good, you see if don't.
 Wishing you all Happy New Year, 1 remain
 "Yours Truly,

HEAVY EARTHQUAKE JARS
 CITIES ON SOUND
lremOr Is From Seven To Fifteen Seconds In Dura- tlOn, Port Townsend, Victoria, B. C., And Blaine Suffer More Or Less Damage, Although
 Result Is Not Disastrous, And Mt.
 Baker Threatens Eruption.

Puget Sound was on Tuesday severely shaken by an earthquake, the heaviest earth tremor ever felt in that part of the country. This at least is indicated in news dispatches received today by the Prospector. The messages came by the way of Fairbanks, having been sent to that town by the land line. Nothing is said concerning the result of the earthquake so far as Seattle is con- cerned and it is probable that the center of disturbance was near the ocean.
 In Victoria, B. O., the earthquake was of seven seconds duration. To- tenn poles are upset and the Empress

Hotel, new building and one of the finest of it's kind on the Pacific coast, is badly cracked.
 In Port Townsend the quake was of fifteen seconds duration. Frozen water pipes are broken and many stores and many private residences are flooded. Some of the buildings are cracked but no great damage will result from this cause.
 The shock was heavy ill Blaine and several buildings are damaged.
 Bellingham felt the shock slightly, but anxiety is caused by the fact that Mt. Baker, a volcano long extinct, is smoking.
