IS IMPRESSED
Ren Nichols of Atlln was In town
yesterday and returned on this morn
ing's train to Atlln. To a repreeen
tatixo of the Alaskan Mr. Nichols
stated that he was about ready to
commence development work on the
Brown Group, distant from the En
gineer twx> miles. In a more import
ant way. He will employ a erew of
five or six men continually.
Mr. Nichols stat t! that Captain
Alexander was sending in a new ten
stamp mill for the Engineer mine and
that it would be up on the next trip
of the Princess May. He said that
the mine would want immediately 40
men and that the work of installing
the mill would be rushed to the ut
most. The new mill is of the latest
improved model with rapid drop
stamps and the battery of ten can
really do the work of an ordinary 40
stamtf mill.
Mr. Nichols expressed himself as
plt-ased at Skagway's rejuvenation.
He said that the plan of installing
the test stamp mill here was the
best thing that had happened for the
place. He took a look at some of
the samples In the Alaskan office
and expressed his belief that the mill
would be kept busy and that paying
mines would surely result.
