HANCOCK IS
BOUND OVER
8evere Penalty Is Provided for
Orime With Which He is
Charged
Joseph Ilaneock, who was ar
raigned before Commissioner
Shepard yesterday charged with
larceny from a residence, was
bound over to tlie grand jury. His
bail was ilxed at $500, which was
not forthcoming and lie is now a
boarder at Marshal Sullivan's
hostelry.
Hancock entered the cabin of
Homer Olds and slob; a nuinhrr
of small nuggets, the value of
which would not exceed a few dol
lars. In view of tin; fact that the
stolen nuggets were of little val
ue it is possible I be charge
him may lie reduced as I lie pen
ally for conviction for larceny
from residence is I be same as
robbing a hank with a minimum
sentence of seven years' impris
onment.
Hancock has been on a spree of
several days duration and was in
trouble the night before his ar
rest. Marshal I.arson caught him
helping himself to wood from
Clias. fuel pile and
summoned him before Police
Magistrate (ieraghly. The mag
istrate had a soft spot in his
heart and after giving Hancock
a lecture allowed him to go free.
He did, however, announce that
the next wood thief brought be
fore him would receive the full
penalty of the law.

ing up at any point.
Another party who reached
low 11 yesterday from that section
j were llarry Kavauuugh and his
j partner, <«eo. lloone. They came
j in a small open boat ami «1«» not
|ear«* to repeal the experience if
I it can he avoided. Their launch
| wenl out of commission last fall
j through the bast? of I In? engine
being broken in an accident.
'They encountered heavy ice from
Columbia glacier along (ilaeier
island and heavy seas around
K.ccmantlc point. Three times
they made the .attempt to reach
Sawmill bay but were forced to
go back. The u;aves were splash
ing into the boat and the men
were wet from head to Joel all
the time.
Kavanaugh and lloone have
been developing their property on
the mainland in EsJ<er island
passage. They have a .tunnel in
35 feel and iN?j>ort that Ahe ledge
is a little over four feel wide, the
walls are slate and giraywhack.
The ore from 4Jve ledg<? poms well
and they have .about 12 inches on
the wail next the slate which is
very rich. Thtey have 4.50 sacks
of ore on the beach and will ar
range to have it treated here or
they may send at. to tJi-e smelter
at Taconia as a test. llhey have
six claims and stlireo wel'l defined
ledges but have confined their
development work to the «vre near
est the beach. The property is
ideally located, the mouth of the
tunnel being about 400 feet from
the beach and at an elevation of
350 feet.
The prospects of the Port
Wells district, like those of Val
dez, are developing in a very
promising nijunner and it is easy
to figure the prosperity which
will result to the business peo
ple of Valdez when the mines have
been developed and become pro
ducers. Valdez will ho I he head
quarters of the Port Wells trade
as well as all other points along
the sound.
