| The following article taken from a
i late Issue of the Valdez Daily Pros>
| pector, only goes to show, notwith
; satnding the fact that some say there
| is "nothing doing" in that vicinity
; in the mining business, that prospect
lors are still rewarded by rlcb finds:
j Another big strike is , reported
from the vicinity of the Silver Gem
| property 1n the Shoup bay district
I Last week M. L. McAllister and \V.
W. Harvey, of Harvey's Toggery,
ran onto a lead on the Alice property
which Is situated on the point adjoin
ing the Silver Gem.
The lead is fouf and a half feet
in width and has been traced for a
distance of 1,200 feet
The rock is remarkably similar
In appearance to that of the CHff
mine, consisting of white quartz.
Samples of the ore were brought
to town last night. Free gold is
plainly visible in the ore.
Assays were taken and yielded
returns which run as hight as $400
to the ton.
The men are at present busy strip- 1
fling the lead and have already uncov j
ered it for a distance of 35 feet.
With the numerous strikes made :
in the Shoup bay country this sum
mer. that district Is developing int i
an important mining center. Only
last week the Shoup Bay Mining com-,
pany struck the extension of the Sil
ver Gem lead.
SKAGWAY WAS
THERE FIRS!
Free wharfage for the rock shipped j
to the proposed citizens' stamp mill
has been promised and every enooor- ,
agement will be given the prospect
ors in bringing their ore to the mill '
to be crushed.
Some of the freighters have also ;
announced that they will make spe
cial rates in packing the rock from
the creeks, while the rates for mill- ;
ing the ore will be made as low as :
possible.
The charges for milling will be ,
placed on a sliding scale.
A per cent will be charged on the
rock milled, depnding on the value |
of the returns. Where prospectors |
have a large quantity of ore the com- j
pany will turn the mill over to them i
to operate themselves, charging them
so much a day.
A large number have already sig
nified their intention of bringing in !
their ore. Among the first of these I
was Robert Mcintosh, who announc
ed that he would begin packing at j
once from the Big Four property at
the head of Mineral Creek.
The $2,000 subscribed by the busi- j
ness men, was raised in a short time
yesterday. Although 20 leading bus
iness men each agreed to contribute
$100. others whose names are not on
the list Intend taking stock in thr
corporation.
Charles Crawford will begin on Mo ?
day with the work of driving the pil
ing: for the stamp mill plant. The bull<!i
ing will be located about; 300 feet be '
low Crawford's machine shop. ? Vald<a

This article was preceded by a list
of twenty names with $100 set after
each name, showing that the people
of Valdez are awake to the advant- j
ages of a stamp mill.
