The eagerly awaited mail steamer Valdez failed 10 put in an appearance yesterday. as anticipated and nothing had been heard of the vessel up to noon today. The failure of the steamer officers to make known the whereabouts of the vessel is causing the local gent no apprehension, as it is known that the wireless appa ra tus was not working in an entirely satis- factory manner when the steamer left her home port. Unless the vessel proceeds to St. Michael first. she will probably arrive here some time today.
