Jor IS days, the Alaska-Tread well
Company in March crushed 64,120 j
tons of ore. The total yield of gold
was $160,oOO, or less than $2.50
per ton The net profit was $64,000
practically $1 per ton How many
false hopes have been nurtured, and
how many glittering prospectuses
based upon the Alaska-Tread well!
Several correspondents have asked
us guest ions about this famous
mine. To satisfy their legitimate
curiosity, and to refresh the mem
ory of others, we may repeat that
Alaska-Treadwell mine is situated
on I>ouglas Island, opposite Juneau.
Alaska The present company,'
whose capitalization is $5,000,000,
was organized in 1890, since when
regular dividends have been paid.
The ore bodies are irregular and
enormous The average gold con
tent runs from about $2.15 to $3.15
per ton. and the total cost of ex
traction rarely exceeds $1.55 per
ton About 775,000 tons are milled
during the year The ore reserves
in 1911 exceeded 6. 500, W0 tons.
