15 CLAIMS SOLD I
FOR 131,000
After a thorough examination of
the Bumham-Kennedy-Conway group
of mining claims in the Rainy Hol
lom country. Col. Conrad, lu com
pany with his mining engineer, W.
A Bryant, returned to Haines last
evening with the most favorable re
ports of the value and extent of
the properties
i Col Conrad has given out the in
formation that as a result of the
investigation he has purchased the
entire group of firteon claims for
mhich he has given a cash consider
ation of approximately $350, (>00.
Mr. Bryant's report on the prop
erties is of the most satisfactory
kind. Not only are the claims
purchased of enormous value, but
the entire country is highly mineral
uted, containing copper, coal and
other minerals In abundance.
In the past several hundred tons
of this ore have been brought
down under the most trying diffi
culties by wagon over a rough trail,
and in spite of the expense of
crude methods of transportation has
netted the operators a cor??idrrabl?
profit.
With this purchase by ^ol. Co?
r*d. It means that the work of de
velopment will pweel and that
'?ailroad transportation r?ust soon
be installed, which will necessarily
make Haines a city of importance
xs a water terminal for the transfer
of ore from that district.
Col Conrad alth Mr. Bryant,
will leave tomorrow for Skagway
on the City of Seattle to complete
the transfer of the properties to
his company, after which we may
look forward to the spee.lv develop
ment of the Rainv Hollow country.
