Business Men Meet And Organize
Company ? Will Incorporate Under
Alaska Lavs ? Construction Of
Test Mill To Be Rushed
The meeting of the subscribers to
the stamp mill fund held a rousing
meeting last night in Town Hall at
which steps were taken to rush
things along atj a rapid pace.
l>octor Keller, chairman of the Com
mittee, appointed at the mass meet
ing to circulate the subscription pa
per and get the sentiment of the
people toward the project, addressed
the meeting. He said that the senti
ment found was almost universal
ly in favor of the project; nearly
everyone approached by the commit ;
tee had shown a willingness to sub
scribe and after reading the list as
submitted he stated that the commit
tee had also other subscriptions
promised which had as yet not been
oountied in the totals.
The meeting then organised with
H. H. Draper as chairman and W.
\V. Houghton as secretary. A roll
call demonstrated that there was a
large majority of the amount sub
scribed represented at the meeting.
A free discussion demonstrated
that the subscribers were unanimous
ly In favor of incorporating and a
resolution was passed ordering that
Judge I^Fevre prepare the necessary
papers at once and be prepared to
report at a subsequent meeting.
The Committee which was appoint
ed at the mass meeting consisting of
L. S. Keller. O. L. Dickeson and J.
M Tanner was confirmed and sup
plemented by the addition of Mr.
Phi] Abrahams to continue the work
of collecting funds. This committee
was also given additional powers be
ing authorized to collect data, get
estimates on machinery, look up sites
for the plant and take such other ac
tion along this line as would hasten
the installation of the plant.
A general discussion brought out
a great deal of enthusiasm showing
the earnestness of the people back
of the project and the determination
to rush the plan of action so that
tiiM-e will be no delay in the con
struction of the mill.
latest success Is J. D. Meenach also
an old pioneer of Yukon and Alaska.
The following press dispatch to the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer tells of
vhe now strike:
SEWARD, Alaska, June 30 ? J. D.
Meenach, of the firm of Meenach ft
Peterson, came in from Hope last
night and says that everything is
looking well at the Kenai Star.
The Kenai Star Mine Is eight mi'es
from Hope and has been prospected
by original locator Logman. There
is about fifty feet of tunnel on the
ledge showing an average width of
42 inches of ore that gives a?sa.vs
that are truly remarkable.
One sample taken from some of
the best looking ore available re
turned J13.K18.00 to the ton and a
sample weighing 2.6.1 oz. wa; assayed
by Palkenburg and I/aucks of Seatt'e
and returned a gold button worth
$2.60. This Is just about a dollar to
the ounce, of quartz.
Another, picked sample was sent to
Pogardus of Seattle and the phenom
enal assay of $100,601.46 to the ton
was the return. Some of the poorest
looking ore that was considered all
base was taken and a sample concen
trated to seven tons to one was sent
to Wood ft Co., of Denver, Colo. . and
assayed at $046.00 to the ton.
Meenach ft Peterson will ship a'l
of their ore direct from the mine to
the smelter at Tacoma. Arrange
monts have been made with the Al
aska Coast Company to handle all of
(ho ere and as soon as the snow is
off the mountains a crew of men will
be put to work shooting the quart*
and sacking it for shipment to the
smelter. It is estimated that the
Kemai Star will be able to ship
from five hundred to a thousand
tons of ore per month and owing to
the location being so near to a salt
water harbor the cost of transporta
tion to the smelter and the handling
of the ore there will be no greater
than the cost of a stamp mill would
be under ordinary conditions. Capt.
Peterson, formerly of Dawson and
later of the famous Portland Bench
Claim at Nome is expected to arrive
in Seward on one of the next boats.
In addition to the IiOgan property,
Peterson & Meenach have bonded the
Redmond property located 12 mile*!
from Seward. The ore from this well
known property will also be shipped
to the! smelter from this city.
The ore from the Redmond prop
erty will be transported from the
mine to Seward in ore wagons and
shipped from here. On an average
sample sent to Falkenburg and
lAncks from the Redmond property
returns of $138.40 was received.
This sample was clear white sugar
quart* and did not show a partlrle of
free gold. Another sample of the
arsenical Iron from the ledge fcent
t > the same firm returned $132. 80
in gold and $1.76 in silver and the
average assays from the property so
fir received are $138.7". C. 11 Pal
lard. a local assayer returned $194.40
in geld and 17 ounces in Fllver to the
ton cn a sample submitted to him
for a?s?y.
