GOLD QUARTZ AT
. 1'KINLEY LAKE
The Yucatan yesterday brought re
turns from a shipment of 1,000 tons
of gold quartz from the Lucky Strike
group at McKlnley lake. C. E. Bo
gardus at Seattle certifies that the
rock assayed $720.25 to the ton. The
ledge is traceable for 250 feet on the
surface, is 12 feet wide where oross
cut, and the hanging wall was reach
ed at a depth of 16 feet. From the
ore in sight with such an assay, Mc
Klnley lake may prove to be the
scene of quite a mining excitement.
This property is owned by Tim and
Sam Erlckson, Scotty Maloney and
D. W. Walker. As soon as snow flios
and a trail can be made, the owners
will rawhide ore to the lake and with
teams transport it to Alganic station
on the railroad. ? Cordova Alaskan.
