The piece lists numerous local characters from Valdez and surrounding camps, naming Musselshell Frank, Stag hound Bus, Spirit Mountain, Klondike Dan, and many others. It notes George F. Marsh becoming U S commissioner at Fortuna Lodge and Alf Hall returning to town, with a closing note that Mrs. Fred Smith left for the Outside on July 9.
