"Row land and . Geo. W. Smith.' The former has spent the greater part of the winter in Corvallis, where his family resides and is a ; gentleman whom-The Times hos spoken of as having extensive mining interests in Alaska. A number of large nuggets, a partial result of his work in Alaska, was on exhibition at Metzger's jewelry store in the early -part of December. C. E. Rowland left Corvailis Sunday. M. T. Rowland, a younger brother, was here for a- few" hours only, , last Thursday. He was just- returning from the East and a visit to his old home in Nebraska. He states that he has disposed of a ; two-third, in terest in one ; of his claims to a New York syndicate for $300,000 and is making preparations to work the property extensively. This claim is 175 miles m ' the interior from Port Vales, slj poinf between Sitka and the Aleutian group of is lands. , s, :- While m Nebraska - Mr. Rowland purchased 20 head of horses which are to be utilized in packing the iiiew., company's sup plies from Valdes to the mine.

It is understood tnat Mr Smith has no business relations with the Rowlads as yet, but it is on their represen tations that he concluded to go Jo Alaska and will probably be associ ated wifh them more or less. They. doubtless will be able to give George a few pointers, since they are well acquainted wjth the country. - Mr ; Smith's adiue to his friends in Cor vallls seemed rather - sudden, but none were so surprised as to forget to wish him much success. -; A.
