REYNOLDS CLAIMS
IKE FINE SHOWING
Assessment work on all tin- Rey
nolds properties in Prince William
soniul have resulted in opening cop
per veins of promising value. As
says as high an 14 per cent copper
have been obtained from picked
specimens at Horseshoe In y in the
Duchess tunnel. The ordinary run
of the ore is from 4 to 6 per cent, and
it improves in value and the veins
widen steadily with the progress into
the hill.
At Landlock bay the assay of a
large chunk taken from the 18-inch
ore vein assays S per cent copper,
$1.60 gold and "> cents silver. The
ledge is from four to tlve feet 'vide
with a solid streak of ehaleopvrite IS
inches wide. This ore is of shipping
value.
At Boulder bay a vein several feet
wide carrying low grade ore was
found and the work thereafter was
directed to following the vein. This
ore, although heavily impregnated
with iron, assays 2.3 per cent copper,
*2.10 gold and .9 ounce silver. Since
the specimen assayed was brought,
thequality of the ore encountered has
greatly improved and the miners
have sent word that they will bring
up something good when they finish
work this week. The marked per
centage of the precious metals in this
ore excites the interest of mining
men.
The assays of the Landloek bay
and Boulder bay ores won* made in
Yaldez by L. \V. Storm. Numerous
assays have been made at Horseshoe
bay by W. Harrington, superin
tendent of the work.
The work at Horseshoe bay will be
complete d early next month. Ten of
tin* miners came to Valdez, Jon the
1'ortland and the work hereafter will
be confined to the Duchess tunnel.
Another tunnel was driven farther
down the hill but the best results
were attained in the Duchess. All
the miners who came up agree that
the property gives strong promise of
becoming a great mine and it shows
up much better than when the annu
al labor began in November.
BROTHER CHARLIE
IS CULLER GRAFTER
Washington, Jan. 27—Charles P.
Taft. brother of the president-elect,
ami Nelson Cromwell, previously con
nected with the allegations of graft
in connection with the Panama canal
deal, were roasted on a gridiron of
vituperation ignited by Congressman
Kainey of Illinois before the house
this morning. The congressman
charged the Taft-Cromwell combina
tion with looting the people of the
United States and the people of the
Panama republic of a vast sum of
money that rightfully belong# to
them, and in his remarks he thinly
veiled the inference that the looting
was committed by the connivance of
President Roosevelt.
Congressman Hainoy characterized
the canal deal as the most infam
ously railroaded proposition ever sub
mitted to any government, and he
averred that through the instrumen
tality of those in power in the United
States a coterie of favored individ
uals was permitted to possess itself of
a fortune at the expense of the help
less people of two republics.
Congressman Kainey is a democrat,
but his castigation of those now in
power in this country, and his charges
in connection with the deal that has
caused so much scandal, created a
sensation in the house.

"I have this day issued the follow

of February nineteen hundred and
j nine, being the one hundredth anni

ROM) COMMISSION
IS COMING SOON
On February l.r>, Lieut. Orchard, |
secretary of the Alaska road commis
sion, accompanied by his entire office
force, will depart from Skagway en
route for Valdez where the road com
mission will establish permanent
headquarters. The order directing
the change of headquarters was is
sued from the£\var department .Jan
uary 15, being made at the request of
Maj. Richardson.
Some time ago the Prospector pub
lished the fact that the road com
mission headquarters would he moved
to Valdez but at that time the infor
mation was indefinite as to the time.
Now, however, everything is settled"
The commission will establish itsi-lf
in the James Fish building on Mc
Kinley street, and this morning Mr.
Fish received from Lieut. Orchard a
cable giving the intentions of the
commission with regard to time of
removal.
The decision of the road ommis
sion to make Valdez its head
quarters means a good deal for the
town. It is on the trail between here
and Fairbanks that Maj. Richardson
expects to do most of the work the
coming season, and th<» presence h»*re
of the headquarters means a bijj;
monthly payroll, and increased busi
ness for Valdez business houses.
BOOSTER FOR CORDOVA
SWITCHES CONTRACTS
Capt. Austin 13. Lathrop, of tin* j
California-Alaska Mining and Dev« 1- 1
opment Company is a persistent
booster for the Copper river route
into the interior. In the face of the |
scoffing remarks of those "who have
been there," he expands upon the
advantages of the windswept reaches
I of the Copper whenever he finds :
I someone to hearken to his vocali/.ings.
There are those who question ( apt.
| Lathrop" s knowledge of the route he
boosts, but no one has ever ques
tioned Henry Deyo's knowledge of
| the locality in question. And so it
comes to a story of a recent event in
Yaldez, in which town ('apt. bathrop
| and Henry Deyo sojourned for a "few
| days.
In the presence of Mr. Deyo ( apt.
Lathrop was expanding upon the
Copper river route, and to add em
phasis he told of those who are to
take their outfits inside that way,
, his peroration being somewhat in
| this language;
"In my pocket I have a contract to
take my company's freight in by the
way of the Copper."
"I'll bet you $ 1 00 that yon have
not" remarked Mr. Deyo, who accom
panied the remark by the display of a
I century note.
"What, what! you mean to say
that I have no contract? sputtered
Capt. Lathrop.
"1 mean to say that I will bet this
hundred that you have no contract to
| take your company's freight up the
Copper" said Mr. Deyo, as he car
essed the century.
Again Capt. Lathrop questiom d the
meaning of Mr. Deyo. and again the
latter affirmed his previous statement.
It was real exasperating—for the
, Captain is a persistent booster for
the Copper river route.
He blinked at the century note
slipping its length through the care
less lingers of Mr. Deyo, bethought
' him of his boostings and then
j "Do you mean to tell me that 1
havo'nt a VEHHAL contract to take
my freight in byway of the Copper?"
he demanded.
"I understood you to say that your
contract was in your pocket, not in
your mind" murmured Mr. Deyo as
he folded the century into his bill
j book and gazed upon the rapidly van
I ishing rear of the gallant captain.
