ASKING BIDS
FOR TUNNEUN6
Valdez Mining Company Will Give
Contract for 230 Feet of
Tunneling
The Valdoz Mining company is
asuin^ for bids for the extension
of a tunnel on its property. The
properly is on the side of the gla
cier back of town and is easily
reached at all times.
The company has already driv-!
en 4 40 feet of tunnel and a good
body of pay ore has been dcvel-i
oped. The work for which the
company is now asking bids will
be done on the lower tunnel, which„
is in a distance of 130 feet. The
contract will be for I he extension
of this tunnel another 230 feet.
In I lie upper workings a t un
nel was driven 100 feet and good
ore . in quantities blocked oul.
Seventy fret from the mouth of
the Iunnrl a shaft was sunk for a
depth of 50 feel and another tun
ii<11 driven 70 feel from the bottom
of the shaft into the hill through
good ore. The extension of the
lower tunnel will give a depth of
350 feel ;il the point where il
will intercept the body of or» ex
posed by the work done in the
upper tunnels ;i11<I shaft.
The eompnny now has machin
ery and tools stored in the tun
nel and no difficulty will be ex
perienced by the contractors in
establishing camp. The side of
the clitT has been blasted oul near
the mouth of the tunnel and af
fords a safe and convenient place
for camping.
The work of further develop
ment has been under considera
tion by the local stockholders for
some time. Mr. Frank Kcrnan,
the manager of the properly and
president of the company, is now
in Seattle and has written the:
other oft'iccrs here' advising the
beginning of the work at an early
dale to permit of its being finish
ed before spring.
Those interested believe the
completion of the tunnel will
block out a big body of ore and
should their deductions prov?.
correct it is more than probable
another mill will be grinding rich
rock in this jlistriet next surmjier.

ALASKA'S OOPPER
OUTPUT INCREASING
II has been estimated hy the
Geological Survey I hat Alaska
ininos produced 22,900,000 pounds
of copper in 1911. Tlfls is hy
far the largest output ever made
hy Ihe territory and is due 1o Ihe
beginning of production from Ihe
Copper River district and Ihe in
creased output from Ihe Prince
William sound district. The
Copper Iliver railway was com
pleted to the Bonanza mine and
shipment of ore began in April
and continued through the year.
There was also marked increaso
in output of tTie mines of the
Prince William* sound district.
VALDEZ STRONG
ON BOWLING
Number of Players Make Big
8oores and Maintain High
Averages
Valdez numbers among its
bowlers some of the best players
in Alaska and could furnish a
couple of teams which would give
a good account of themselves
against any teams on the Pacific
coast.
On Sunday last some of the
players hung up records at the
Ingram & Bush alleys which
would entitle them to the respect
ot ihe crack players outside.
There are several good howlers
here who have not got into the
game as yet this season, but who
will soon do so now that, they
have players with enviable rec
ords lo go against and Ihe nexl
few months will witness many in
teresting contests.
A glimpse over Ihe tally sheets
<>f Ihe games played on Sunday
shows that some of Ihe players
run vii) scores away above Ihe 200
mark for several games )iml
maintained a very high average
throughout the afternoon. Fol
lowing is a lis! of Ihe scores of
1he players as taken from the
tally sheets, of Ihe day:
Herb Davis was high score with
231 pins. His average for live
straight games was 193 2-5 pins.
Hob Kelsey's high score was
220 pins, with an average of 180
pins for six straight games.
Merchant's high score was 220
pins and an average of 102 3-7
pins for seven straight games.
Hush's high score was 223 pins
and he maintained an average of
209 5-7 pins for seven straight
games.
Hay Day's high score was 203
pins.
If any of the bowlers of other
Alaskan coast towns think they
would like a game with Valdez it
would be well for them to think
these records over before plac
ing wagers.
NEW PEIV8 FOR

* The interior of th«k Congrega
tional church presented a busy
scene last night. A number of
the willing workers of the con
gregation were 'engaged unpack
ing and putting together the new

Rev. J. Bunting Johnson hopes to
see the work continued for the
rest of the week.
The workers would appreciate
the loan of a few carpenter tools
to enable greater progress, as
they desire to have Ihe pews in
their places for services next
Sunday. The pews will add very
greatly I«» the comfort and ap
penranre of I he church.
