Cordova. June 27.

operates on Puget Sound, and IS looking for a location to which he might bring their floating cannery. He found no suitable place to the westward, but is of the impression that the neighborhood of Cordova would afford the opportunity desired. It is suggested that he might get an ample supply of fish from the Copper ] river and that they could be treated and canned on his steamer cannery if it were anchored in the bay. He states that on Puget Sound the price | paid for fish is 40 cents, but that this price makes the work unprofitable. Under the direction of Harry Thisted, vice president of the Cham Der of Commerce, MT. Holdersen secured data today that may result in favorable action when he reports to his people in Seattle, as he sails south on the steamer Alameda to- morrow night.
 Rev. E. P. Ziegler, who has been doing service at Cordova for the past six years, has been granted a leave of absence of one year by Bishop Rowe. In all probability some one will be sent here to temporarily take charge of St. Georges Episcopal Mission. Mrs. Ziegler, with the | baby, has been spending a few days with friends at Seward. They will return on the Evans this afternoon and the Rev. and his family will Northwestern. They will spend the balance of the summer with Rev. i Ziegler's family at Point of Pines, a noted resort in the Straits of Mackinaw. Later Rev. Ziegler will attend a school of divinity at Middle town, Connecticut.
 The members of the Eastern Star held an enjoyable meeting Thursday 1 night at Masonic hall. There was 2 good attendance and the social fea- lures continued until after midnight. Cordova, June 29. Sam Blum, head of the big mer- cantile firm of S. Blum & Co.,, and president of the First Bank of Cor dova, was an arrival on the steamer Alameda from Valdez and is circu- 1 lating among his numerous Cordova ! friends.
 Mir. and Mrs. Alfred B. Hes came over from Valdez yesterday and are at the Windsor hotel. MT. Hes has received word that Baron Bulow Von Ravens and five other directors of the Alaska Copper Corporation are on their way from New York and | will take the steamer Mariposa from Seattle on the night of June 30th, | for Cordova. They will be accom- panied by four ladies. The latter will likely remain at Cordova while the men of the party will take the train on Tuesday, July for Strelna. From there they will take horses and ride about ten miles up to a point near the Kuskulina river, where the copper holdings of this company are located. MT. Hes states that upon the result of the exami- nation to be made by these men will depend the expenditure of a large sum of money for the building. of 2 branch line of railroad, the erection of concentrator, the putting in of power drills and other machinery. He states that the money has been pledged, providing the report of the directors and engineer who accom- panies them is favorable. If possible MT. Hes will get to the mines before the coming of the visitors to make such preparations as will make them comfortable.
 The steamer Alameda made a fast run to the westward, returning 10 Cordova yesterday at noon. She took aboard cars of copper ore and some fish. departing for the south shortly before o'clock in the after noon. Her passengers from here were as follows:

No longer will those dirt cars that operated on gravity system | fly down First Street. Superintend-
