Big Mining Deal
Patsy Clark, the millionaire mining man of Spokane,
arrived back last evening from his hurried trip by special
train over the mountain. He took the Jefferson for the
south, taking with him samples of the ore of the War Eagle
and Pueblo copper mines, which have already added much
to the fame of the country back of Whitehorse. Mr. Clark
expressed himself to an Alaskan man just before sailing
south last night as highly pleased with what he had seen
and said that if the ore he had with him averaged up to
representations and to his own expectations, he would con
sider proposals that had been made to him as to purchase.
It will be remembered that Mr. Clark with his son P.
Clark, Jr., E. F. Caldwell and J. Bresahan, mining experts
engaged a special train which left here Tuesday morning a
5 o'clock in their hurry to get the business through. Upon
the arrival of the train at Whitehorse at 9:45 a vehicle was
in readiness at the station to convey them to the mines.
There they made a thorough inspection of the property as
developed and took samples from all available points in
both the Pueblo and War Eagle. The Pueblo mine is
owned by Byron While of Spokane, and, it is understood,
is valued at $500,000. It has long been known to be valua
ble property and has now been developed to a point where
I thousands of tons of ore are blocked out and in sight. The
War Eagle is owned by Spokane and Kaslo, B. C. men, and
is also known to be valuable but what it is held at is not
given out.
