NOW FOR THE MIUL
It is announced in another column
of this issue of the Alaskan that
there will be a meeting of the sub
scribers to th3 sampling mill fund
this week. It is proposed at this
meeting to take up the matter of in
corporation.
The executive committee which has
had the matter of sites and machiner
under consideration, announces that
it is ready to report, and there seems
to be no reason why the test mill
should not begin taking form.
In every direction throughout the
Skagway valley and its environs since
the people of Skagway decided to
build the mill, a great deal of activity
has been manifested by prospectors
with the result that sveral promising
new ledges have been located. It is
now up to the mill people to hurry
the matter along and get the mill in
shape for the testing of these ores.
Tli s matter of having sampling
mills is getting to be a necessity to
the development of all ' the quartz
lamps of Alaska. In Valdez where
there is already a capacity mill work
ing on one mine, they have decided
to build a sampling mill for the
purpose of encouraging the prospec
tor. In the Fairbanks section they
started off with two sampling mills,
which have resulted in, proving sever
al properties to be capable of becom
ing producing mines and today they
are shipping in, and establishing ca
pacity mills. In Nome they recently
ordered the plant of a sampling mill
for th^, district, and it will be estab
lished before the close of the season.
Down in the Dawson country they
are working out ways and means for
the building of the same thing.
Our people must nof allow this
matter to drag along indefinitely ?
get busy and carry out the plans of
the organization.
MISTAKES OF MINE OWNERS
/
During the past month at least a
dozen mining men have been in town
for the purpose of looking over pro
perties In this locality, i>ut as far
as this paper has heard, none of them
have closed a deal. The reason,
according to the visiting experts, is
that the prospector in practically
every instance has demanded too
much cash down at the time of mak
ing out the bond. Of course after a
man has put in practically all his
life looking for a paying property
and at last finds what he considers
as such, he is bound to put a rather
high valuation on it. thereby. In many
instances, defeating his own ends.
This is regTettable as it not only
prevents the sale of that particular
property, but has a bad effect upon
every other property within the same
district. Naturally we want all we
can get for anything we can sell, but
it were better to get even a little
for a property and ralize on it than
to wear oneself uot doing assessment
work while waiting for somebody to
come along and assume all the risks.
? Ketchikan Miner.
The above comment sizes up the
situation of nearly every mining
camp at some stage in its history.
Capita] must have some show, or it
will not interest itself in the devel
opment of a country. In most mining
sections one can find good proper
ties that have been burled under
the large expectations of the prospec
tor and lie in idleness because cap
iat refuses to pay the prices asked
by owners with exaggerated Ideas of
the values which the properties con
tain. Other properties are idle after
certain stages of development because
of gross mismanagement in the oper
ating of the properties. In both con
tingencies capital receives poor en
couragemnet to tnterst Itself in that
particular locality. Skagway shotikl
profit by the mistakes of others and
avoid the pitfalls.
