Of GENERAL INFORMATION.
Cordova, February 10

Legislature, will remain in town
until next Wednesday, when the
steamer Mariposa will be due south
bound. Senator Hubbard, Repre-
sentatives Day, Noon and Holland
will also likely go to Juneau on the
same trip. Mr.. Tansy is assayer at
the Bonanza mine and he states that
most of the. shipments of high grade
copper ore that is now being made
from Kennecott is from the Jumbo
mine. An immense body of ore, rich
in glance, has been uncovered at a
depth of 500 feet. And it is antici-
pated that this will prove an even
richer mine than the Bonanza. The
latter is expected to run at full
capacity so soon as there is suffi-
cient water to run the. mill. Another
mine, named the Glacier, which is
between the Bonanza and Jumbo is
also being opened up by the Kenne-
colt Mines Company. And Mr..
Tansy says it gives promise of also
being a world wonder.

Cordova, February II
For time everything indicated
that the western headquarters fol
the steamer Santa Ana would DC
transferred from Seward to Cordova
If that was the intention of the
Alaska Steamship Company they
have evidently changed their plans
as announcement is made that she
will connect with the steamers Mari
posa and Alameda, and later also thE
Northwestern, at Seward and make
the peninsula route from there.
The Santa Ana has been remodelec
from a freighter with limited pas
senger accommodations into com
, Portable passenger liner, at a cost
Of $4,000. She will take the run
of the famous old Dora, and will sli
north from Seattle tomorrow, expect
ing to reach Seward in ample time
to start on the Alaska peninsula
run February %, She now has &C
commodations for rs first-class pas
sengers and 80 steerage passengers
The steerage accommodations can be
extended. On the way north, the
Santa Ana will take a shipment OF
coal and supplies for the Chichagofi
mine on Chichagoff Island, South
