Purchase Gastineau Mine
What is said to be the big
gest mining deal to develop in !
the Juneau district in two de-1
cades, and involving the pur-;
chase of the holdings of the|
old Alaska Gastineau Gold
Mining Company by the Alaska i
Juneau Gold Mining Company, |
is now under negotiation, ac- j
cording to the Juneau Empire, i
The Alaska Juneau company,
whose main workings about the
old Perseverance mine, has
made a definite offer for all
of the former Gastineau prop
erties, including power plants,
and site?, townsites, mining
cllaims and all other properties..

payments in Alaska Juneau

BANK RETURNS
FOURTH DIVIDEND
Creditors of ,the defunct Bank
of Hyder were given an agree
able surprise Thursday morn
ing by the receipt of a fourth
dividend on their deposits from
Receiver E. D. Haddon.
The dividend amounted to
5 per cent and brought the to
tal returns to depositors to
82 Va per cent.
As the nominal value of the
assets still in the hands of the
receiver exceeds the balance
owing to depositors, the ulti
mate liquidation of all out
standing depositors claims ap
pears reasonably assured.
There as aUso an excellent
prospect that stockholders of
the bank may receive a sub
stantial part of their invest
ment.
