slowly by, bareheaded. Two hundred
yards down the road they drew up to

by the post commander, Colonel David

Co:dova Alaskan, June 4: One Of tie richest samples of gold quartz ever shown in Cordova was brought to town last night by Malcolm Brock from Cbitina, aud alter an acid test it is practically mass ot solid gold. This specimen was taken from the new strike made nine miles north of Camp I4o on the Copper River railway, on a tributary of the kotsina river, by two section men named Centenlo and Canning, who purchased a grubstake last fall aud spent the winter prospecting. A ledge 600 feet long and 2a feet wide has been uncovered. The rich quartz is only inches wide on the foot wall for length of 50 feet, but the rest of the ledge contains free mill ing quartz. The owners of the property are now opening up the ground and the extremely rich quartz is being taken out for treat ment. The paystreak is covered with gravel from 3 to 6 feet deep. Since the news ot the strike has spread over Co claims have beey staked in that vicinity.

FAIR NOTES.

From THURSDAYS Daily.
T. r. Douglass & Son have large
and we'll arranged exhibit of farm
implements and harvesting machin-
cry on the grounds.
Everybody's comment on the car
nival shows is that they are the
cleanest and best attractions ever
shown at the county fair.
With so many interesting events
occurring in rapid succession, no one
seems to miss the aeroplane flights.
Everyone seems to understand that it
is no fault of the fair association that
the fights were not given and no
criticism against the officials is heard.
Franenthal ( Schwarz have big
display of vehicles and implements,
which attracts many visitors.
The only difficulty Wednesday was
the crowd was so large and dense
that the shows could not accommodate
them. Many waited until II o'clock
or later to get chance to get into
some of the exhibitions.
The motor-dome continues to be
the big drawing card.
