JUDGE MARSH
IS OPTIMISTIC
Judge Samuel J. Marsh, of the
Chandlar. camp up on the last trip of
tho Jefferson enroute to his home
i side from New York, where hr was
calk>d on matters pertaining to bus
iness for his concern, the Alaska
Chandlar Mining Company.
Business in the east is bad. accord
ing to Judge Marsh. Money, he says,
is very hard to get and many men
with Rood propositions have gone
back there with Alaska flotations
and failed to get any encouragement.
While the banks are overflowing with
money, it is mostly in the hands of
large financiers, and the farmers of
the country. For investments, where
the showing is absolutely safe and
profits can be shown, the money is
forthcoming, otherwise, they look
askancc at Alaska mining ventures.
The Chandlar, the Judge says, will
bo the greatest mining camp in the
North. His company has shipped in.
'his summer, a small mill. four
! stamps of 25-ton capacity, and it is
? ?xpected to have it in operation b.v
j !he first of January.
The company a'ready has 1.1.000
' ns of forty dollar ore blocked out.
The. vein averages six feet in width
.nd will mill forty dollars, though
-omp of It is phenomenally rich.
The sea port of Chandlar is Reaver
on the Yukon, distant from Fort Yu
kon. SO miles down stream, and is
easier reached from Skagway than
from the iower riv<?r. The town of
Caro is the seat of government and
Is reached via a government road
from Reaver, distant 115 miles. This
road will during the present summer,
be graded and corduroyed so that an
automobile can travel over it.
Tlio Chandlar has at the present
time a population approximating one
hundred, and there are hundreds of
square miles of unexplored and un
prospected ground waiting for the
pioneer to come and make it fruitful.
While in Skacrway. he had his at
tention called to the proposed samp
ling mill for the testing of ores, and
< xpressed himself as a believer in it.
:*s a means of developing the sur
rounding country. He asserts that
this method of getting tests on ore
values is the only way to get prac
t ical and certain results. He says
that care must be exerciscd in select
ing the plant and has furnished the
committee some information that will
be of value when it comes to choos
ing the outfit.
Judge Marsh is an assayer, mining
engineer, and geologist of some note
and has made several reports to the
government geological survey all of
which have been published and bul
letined by the department. He will
leave Skagway Tuesday morning and
take passage on the first down river
boat from Whitehorse.
Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Redfern of New
York are guests at the I'll Hen House
and will remain till Tuesday when
they will proceed to Hawson and
Nome. Roth are enthusiastic ov< r
J heir trip and predict an increase in
1 travel every year as Alaska becomes
; better known as a tourist resort.
HE NEW BOAT
P. F. W. l/>wle, agent of the C. P.
R? last night received a cabW? from
Vancouver to the effect that the
Princess Mary will relieve tha
Princess Royal for one trip, due to
leave here Jnly 15. The Princes*
Mary recently arrived from the
builder's yard In En .t '.and.
The new boat la not quite so tarn*
as the Royal but rhe was built ac
cording to the plans designed by
Capt. Troupe. While she la In port
Mr. Ixjwle would be p"oa?. d to have
the public make a visit of inspection.
Of
IDE COMMITTEE
The committee whl<h ha? been
sollfltlng funds for the Installation of
the proposed stamp mill has abon'
finlMcd the canvas amonrst the bus
iness men of the town and hopes by
Monday next to have the funds aug
mented sufficiently to guarantee th<
complete success of the plan.
Sevreal hundreds of dollars hate :
been added io the large sum sub '
scribed the first day and only a few
hundred more Is needed so the al'u i
ation is plainly in the hands of th< j
people to do as they will. Several
have given expression to the fact
(hat they would subscribe in small i
amounts when approached and an ef
fort will be made to reach them.
