RED MOUNTAIN
fCont. from Page 1, Col. 1)
3eldovia Chroma Corpora
tion has three men Conducting
stripping operations on its
c claims at the head of Pish
Creek, located on the oppo
site side of the mountain.
This area shows considerable
high-grade float but is'cov
ered with loose talus rock'
and requires stripping to ex
pose the ore veins in place*
Access to the Pish Creek wa
tershed is from Seldovia and
a road to the chrome showings
on this side is under const
ruction., There is no connec
ting road between Seldovia
and the Jakalof Bay opera
tions*
The United states Geologi
cal Survey, in a 1942 report,
shows ore reserves in this
district as follows: Claim
point area and Red Mountain
area, chromite in shipping
ore, 73,100; concentrating
ore, 170,700; chromite in
concentration ore, 77,500;
total chromite, 150,600.
This same report estimates
the star #4 deposit (or Kenai
Chrome holdings) to contain
42# of the entire known re
serves of the district. Cur- •
rent activities in the gener-*
al area will undoubtedly im
prove the above reserve pic
ture*
Production from the dist
rict to the present time has
been from direct shipping
grade ore,although some wash
ing and hand-sorting has been
necessary to meet metalurgi4
eal grade specifications*
Future production from the
district, particularly beyond
the 1956 season* will depend
largely on treatment of con
centrated ore; and this only
if the government’s chrome
purchasing program is exten
ded beyond 1956*

PUD STORY
(Cont. from Page 1, Col. 2)
thought that this amount
could be matched up to 50$ by
federal Hill-Burton funds and
that he would initiate the
paper work immediately.
Concerning the promissory
note the Department of Health
had asked for in the amount
of #10*000, Dr. Albrecht said
that the note could be made
payable in September, 1956.
At the close of his talk,
Albrecht brought up the pos
sibility of a water system
for Homer. He had a copy of
a 1952 letter written to tl»
PUD by Alaska Public works
giving an estimate on the
cost of a proposed system.
The proposed system would
have cost the community
$170*000 and provided a two
mile distribution system in
the downtown area, pointed
out that by obtaining API?
funds the system would cost
the PUD only $85,000. Eighty
consumers paying $12 a month
would pay( for the system in
20 years, Albrecht said. Ho
added that APW has funds on
hand at the present time for
such projects and that APW
would go out of existence in
1957. . ' <
