OUR TEST-MILL
Theodore Sweet of Whttehorse
came in on last night's train enroute
to the outside where he will visit for
a short while in Vancouver and other
Sound cities after which he will re
turn North This will be Mr. Sweet's
first trip outside in the past seven
years and he feels that he needs a
?vacation.
Mr. Sweet has some mining inter
ests in the Whitehorse section. His
properties are located near the Pue
blo mine and the Copper King and
he expects to return and commence j
active work prospecting. His deter
mination to get at his prospecting
early as possible has been arrived at
prin. i pally b a use of Skagwav's ac
tion in building the test stamp mill.
The fact that Skagway is building
the mill he says has created a great
deal of favorable comment over in
the Whitehorse district. Everyone in;
that section can at once understand
the immense advantage the mill will
l?e to the country.
The White Pass, he says, has
promised to bring their ore for sam
pling purposes over to the mill free
of charge therefore the mill will he
a great incentive to the prospectors.
Knowing that they can pet a test
showing absolute values of their ores j
at a minium cost the prospectors will
get busy and before long, or as soon
as the mill is ready to receive it, ore
samples will be sent in and the en
tire country will commence to liven
up.

THE TESlllLL
AT FAIRBANKS
The consignment of quartz from I
the property of the Tanana Quartz j
& Hydraulic Mining company, which
was put through the tost mill dur
ing the past week, has shown an
average value in round figures of
$38 to the ton, the three tons run
through the mill yielding a brick
valutxl at |ll'i.
The claim from which the rock
was taken is known as the Wy
oming. and is one of a group which
adjoins the Rhoads property on
Bedrock creek. The ledge, how
ever. from which this ore came is not
a continuation of the Rhoads ledge,
although the latter vein probably |
passes through some of the property
belonging to the company. It is un
derstood Rhoads has drifted to with
in 150 feet of the line of the Tan
ana Quartz & Hydraulic company's i
ground.
The Wyoming, while not yielding,
according to the test just completed,
as rich ore as that of some of th<
other properties, is a ledge of large
proportions and the work thus far
done has demonstrated a large body
of ore. ? Fairbanks Times.
The new C. P. R. steamer Princess
Mary will leave Vancouver tonight
at 11 o'clock and should arrive here
some time next Saturday.

traveling man from Juneau, came as

BIG RETURNS
FROM 95 TONS
Says the Fairbanks Citizen: Al
though the amalgam from the clean
up of the stamps of the Chena mill
had not been retorted at the time of
going to press the indications are
that at least 1.000 ounces of gold, or
$16,000, will be the return from the
95 tons of ore from the Rhoads &
Hall claim on Bedrock creek. This
estimate may be found to be too
conservative, as there will be at
least 1,800 ounces of amalgam, and,
judging by past experiments this, af
ter being retorted, should give a
much greater percentage of gold than
1,000 ounces. But eveu if no more
than $16,000 is the result of the
cleanup this will mean that the ore
has gone nearly $170 to the ton, a
most remarkable showing.
The cleanup of the second bat
tery was not made until a lato hour
yesterday evening and since that time
the retorting of the amalgam has
been in progress at the mill. Mr.
Rhoads being anxious to get It fin
ished so that he can catch the morn
ing train.

THE SPIRIT IS
IN EVIDENCE
There is no question but that the
spirit of the prospector Is very much
in evidence these days and where
there is so much activity there wHI
surely be results. Soon It Is expect

iiave to be able to produce from his
pockets on demand, a sample of like
ly looking rock.
Strangers who have been In the
place but a few hours and old sour
