Montana Mine is Crosscut on Mountain
Hero. Half Mile Away, Trebling: Amout of
Ore in Sight-Conrad Tell of Property
The rich vein of silver ore the dis
covery anil development of which estab
lished the great wealth of the Montana
mine, one of the Conrad-Consolidated
group of claims in the Windy Arm
mining district, has been struck on the
Mountain Hero claim, a half mile away
from the Montana tunnel. The strike
demonstrates the Montana vein to be
more than one and a half miles long
and more than trebles the amount of ore
in sights, in this group of claims.
Col J. H Conrad, the principal owner
of those groups of Windy Arm
claims upon which most of the vork of
that sectioa ha? been don?, arrived in
Skagwav la^t night on his way to New
York and London. In speaking of this
new s'rike and of development at
Windy Arm he said:
"This Montana vein that has been
struck on the Mountain Hero claim is
the one which had been so developed
last sutrmer that G. A. Singtr. the
general manager of the Conrad-Coasol
idated group, was enabled by
the showing made to report to the in
restore in that croup on June 26 last
that there was ore in sight by
actual measurement to the value of
. $12,000,000. It was about that time
i that Mr. Singer began operations on the
I Mountain Hero gulch, about a half
| mile north of the tunnel that he was
I then working on the Montana claim.
I For four months this tunnel on the
| Mountain Hero was driven as a cross
cut, and on October 24 the rich fissure,
vein was reached at a depth of 625 feet.
| This strike proves the vein to be more
j than a mile and a half long and it has
| been proven to be from four to six feet
1 wide, extending from Pooley canyon to
Montana creek. The report of Mr.
| Sinjer and the developments up to the
j present writing prove this to be one of
{ the longest or the longest chute of
continuous high grade ore ever found
! in the world.
I "The Uranus claim has also been de
I velopcd to such an extent that there
are *>0,000 tons of ore in sight so that it
can be actually measured, above the
tunnel level, that will run higher than
loO to the ton.

[Special Dispatch to the Daily Alaskan.]
St. Petersburg, Ooct. 2S ? Revolutionists are practically in control of the capital.
Officials admit that a clash with the imperial troops is expected hourly. The city is panic
stricken and many are leaviug. The crowds in the streets are increasing and the Cos
sacks are unable to keep them back.
WAR ON AT KAHAKOFF
St, Petersburg, (X't. 28 ? A state of war has been declared by the government to
exist at Kahakoff.
Cries of famine are coming from all parts of the empire. Not a pound of foodstuffs
is moving. All mills and railroads are shut down,
NO BLAME
Chamber of Commerce Not
Circulating List
It is understood that some of the I
business men of Skagway have criti- i
cised the Skagway chamber of com- 1
merce because money is being raised j
on a subscription list with which to pay ?
the expenses of a delegate to the Na
tional Mining congress, which will con- j
vene at El Paso, Tex., November 14. ?
The criticism is unjust as the list is not !
being circulated under the auspices of
the chamber at all. Under the rules
of the National Mining Congress, gov
ernors of states and territories, mayors
of cities, chambers of commerce and
other authorities, are given power to
name delegates who will have votes at
the sessions of that body. The Skag
way chamber of commerce, as a compli
ment to three men of this city, who are
interested in the mines of this vicinity
and who have faith in them, appointrd
delegatas in accordance with these
rules. It was not the purpose to send '
any of them to the congress, though
they were provided with credentials
just as have a dozen or so men be?n
provided with credentials by Gov.
Brady of this district and as chambers
of commerce and governors and mayt rs
throughout the country have provided
men with credentials. That being the
case the subscription lUt that is in cir
culation is simply a personal matter be
tween the people who subscribe and
tbe man for whom the subscription is
made. The chamber of commerce is
not circulating the list, has not author
ized its circulation, nor has it, as an or
ganization, any interest in it whatever
beyond what has been here stated.
