GENERAL INFORMATION


Cordova, July 80.
Jack Dalton and associates have
finally been granted patent to the
three lode mining claims situate
| near the wharf of the Copper River
& Northwestern Railway, some little
distance from the outskirts of the
town limits. For years there was
litigation which involved the right
of the railway company to operate
over some of the land claimed by
! Mr.. Dalton. That matter, however,
was finally adjusted to the mutual
satisfaction of the contending par
ties and all opposition was with
drawn to the issuing of patents.
They were recently granted by the
department at Washington and sent
TO the land office at Juneau. The
claims, involved are known as the
Comet" Juneau Fraction" and
Bear lode mining claims.
The train arrived this afternoon
bringing a few passengers from the
new gold diggings as well as some
from points between Kennecott and
Chitina. The next train out will
leave on Saturday morning.
There is great rejoicing in the
household of Thos. S. Scott today.
DR.. Council announces that at 10
o'clock this morning Mrs. Scott pre-
scented her husband with fine baby
girl that weighed 8k pounds.
Cashier Scott is feeling So good over
it that it was with great difficulty
that he restrained himself from
handing out yellow metal to all
the patrons of the bank who had
business with him this afternoon.
Parties returning from the
Chisana today state that Judge j. j..
Finnigan authorizes the announce
ment that he is a candidate for the
lower house of the Territorial
legislature. He will run as an in
dependent and the particular plank
of his platform will be the repeal of

torial mining act, which he declares
is a serious detriment to legitimate
mining and the development of the
country.
