GOOD CAMP
Bob Lowe Says Conrad ia
Big Prodncer
Bob Lowe, member of the Yukon
council from Whitehorse, has been
visiting in Dawson and is quoted thus in
the DawsoD News:
"The southern end of the territory
has taken new life unto itself since' I
was here a year ago, Conrad in par
ticular is booming. Two to three hun
dred men are engaged opening the most
promising mineral properties there, and
it may not be long until there will be
far more men engaged in i productive
way. The work this year is more in
the nature of prospecting. The ore is
being left on the dumps, and if It ap
pears later that there is sufficient ore in
sight a smelter will be erected. Should
it be erected at Conrad, there will be
no necessity of moving the ore from its
present place.
"The properties now being opened
are known as the Montana Mine, the
Mountain Hero, the Big Thing, the
Thistle, Aurora, Venus, Uranus and the
Conrad, comprising the Conrad Con
solidated Properties. A total of 135
men are on those properties, i^our
miles of aerial tramway have been com
pleted, leading from the mines to the
lake at Conrad.
"Othef property in the vicinity be
ing worked includes the Dale claims,
on which are sixteen men, and Han
brow and Robson's property. The
Venus claim is one of the most prom
ising. Ore thure assays from <1 to $400,
and the vain is eight feet thick at places.
I believe this claim almost demonstrat
ed to be a sure thing.
"Water p.'wer is being brought from
Poole canyon, a mile distant, to work
the compressor and other equipment in
and about the mines."
