REVIVING OF MINING
Reports coining from the Hyder •
district are that the Big Missouri;
is showing up tremendously rich, |
that it will be a property on a par |
with the fabulously wealthy Premier j
mine.
At the present time a freighter
is coming north with supplies and
equipment for the reopening of
the Jumbo mine at Sulzer. At
Heim Bay .Kasaan. Hollis, Chomley,
and other places in the vicinity of
Ketchikan more men are in the hills,
prospecting or mining than have
been out in many years. And the
outlook for this line of industry is
brighter than before the was.
Particularly helpful will be the
development of the Big Missouri.
The Premier, with its great divi
dends has stimulated interest and
imagination of the investor of the
East and among the big fiinanciers
has shown them that all mining in ]
the North is not a failure. And1
now, the opening of the Big Miss- j
our), if it will show up anywhere j
near as good as the Premier, will
mean double interest.
A mining engineer recently from
the Bast has let it be known that
as the result of the Premier show
ing it is becoming an easier matter
to interest capital, and the Big
Missouri showing will make it just
so much easier again.
Even in Ketchikan one sees the
difference in the attitude of the in
! vestor. Where a lew years ago it
was practically impossible to raise
a dollar for anything except a fish
ing proposition, today people are
| turning their attention and money
j to the development of mines.
The ore bodies are here in abun
1 dance, within a few miles of Ketch
ikan, and it will not be many years
until mining will replace fishing as
the ohief industry of the district.
Like all lines of industry, these
who go in early and stick to it are
those who will reap the harvest.—

PROSPECTORS’ SPECIAL
Prospecting for gold by pullman
is reported ffom Alaska where a
rich placer deposit was discovered
recently on one of the creeks cross
ed by the Alaska railroad owned
by the Government. When the
discovery was reported the manage
ment of the railroad ran a special
train from Anchorage to the scene
of the stampede. Instead of mush
ing across the hills, a -large number
of prospectors ware enabled to visit
{kfi #«cne of the iiicovery, jtepof
tht> train, »take Q#t their ciaimt
#pd return to tip railrtytf dining
car for luncheon. A lawyer accom
panied the apccid (train apd looked
after the peceeacry legal patters
connected with the pew operations.
Regret was expressed that an extra
baggage oar had not been attached
*e as to permit the opening of a
mining exchange, according to a
correspondent of the Engineering
and Mining Journal-Prese of New
York.
Jimmy Culling, founder of the
Portland Canal News, says that a
mechanically perfect country paper
paper is a freak. We would hate
to have the Miner ever classified as
a freak.
