A. S. Kean of the Angelus lease
has been in Rawhide for several
days and is greatly pleased with the
showings of the camp. He reports
work as progressing nicely on the

of Valdez. Along Mineral creek
number of rich lodges have been
located, the quartz being alive with
| free gold. Some of the assays ruiz
into the thousands of dollars per
ton. A piece of quartz was brought
into camp this morning weighing
about 80 pounds, which it is estim-
/, ated will run 81 per pound. In
the windows of the business houses
can be seen specimens of gold
quartz with the yellow metal prom
inently exposed. In the hills, hun
dreds of prospectors, some of them
mere boys, scarcely of legal age,
are encountered placing their mon
I-uments on lodges, some of which
are fondly hoped will prove bonan-
zas.
Early in the morning long lines
of pack trains can be seen leaving
1.-THE business section, bound for the
outlying camps. Pack animals are
} at a premium and most any old
!; skate will bring double his value.
, The spirit of optimism can be more
: readily understood when it is stated
: that every company organized up to
the present time has been able to
: subscribe its treasury fiotations IN
r Valdez; not share of stock having
) as yet been sold to outsiders. An
instance of the readiness with which
money can be raised here is that
) of a mining company which notified
: the public that 100000 shares
| would be placed for subscription in
the morning at % cents a share.
2 BY O'Clock that evening every
share had been sold and people
: clamored for another allotment.
e The readiness on the part of the
4 public here to part with its hard
e earned cash would make wildcat
e ter gnaw his nails with impatience
: were he informed of his opportun-
f tiles wasted.
: Valdez is a town thirteen years
o old and at the present time num-
: bers about 1900 people. 1t is the
+ ocean terminus of the Valdez-Fair-
banks trail and the headquarters OF
e the Alaska road commission. The
e payroll of the commission amounts
IS to nearly $4,000 this year, and as
d the money is distributed here each
J. fall, the little camp is extremely
y active during the winter. With the
e impetus given tidy the gold strikes
IS this fall, it is safe to say that Val
r dez will be the liveliese camp in
l. Alaska this winter.
