LEADFIELD NEW BOOM
CAMP OF PROMISE '
At Leadfield, California, near
the famous Death Valley, has
sprung up one of the greatest
boom mining camps in recent
year?, and out of it comes a
newspaper edited and man
aged by an oldtime Alaskan
newspaper man. Bernard M.
Stone, who has scribbled Alas
kan news in many towns of
the North, is editor and mana
ger of the Leadfield Chronicle,
a newspaper dedicated to the
interests of the lead mining in
dustry in Inyo County. The
Western Lead Mines Company
is the leading concern there
and owns the largest number
of claims, with ore running
as high an $50 per ton, it is
stated. This concern is actively
managed by Scotty Allen,
world famous dog masher of
Nome, who raced 8 times in
the great sweepstakes, and
who, in 1915, took 440 Alas
kan dogs to France to be used
in hauling supplies to the
front during the World War.
Jake Berger, well known old
sourdough, is vice-president of
the Western Lead Mines. II.
F. Berry, another well known
Alaskan, is secretary-treasur
er of the, Leadfield Carbonate
Mines company. The Leadfield
Metals, another company in
the field, is managed by W. G.
Tanner, an Alaskan. William
Maloney, former territorial
inspector, is also in that dis
tinct and has declared it one
of the greatest finds in fifty
years.
Preliminary work prepara
torv to installing a big dredge
on Shuck river, in the W nd
ham Bay district, will be done
this season by Captain F. A.
Hill, well known Seattle min
ing man. Captain Hill experts
to arrive in Juneau about Ma‘y
1 and will outfit there for the
season’s work. During the
summer he will drill the
ground thoroughly, and if
the drilling operations dem
I onstrate values correspond
ing to those indicated by an
■ early examination a $250,000
dredge will be installed on
the ground a3 soon as possible.
I With his left hand charred
black and his body covered
with burns, Tom Matthews, a
recluse cf Cordova, aged 62,
; was taken to the hospital re
cently from his cabin, where
he had lived alone for a num
ber of years. Ilis face ana
tongue were also badly burn
ed making it difficult for him
to tell what had befallen him. -
As near as could be learned
| Matthews had fainted the
' night before and had fallen
on the stove while a hot fire
■ was burning in it. His condit
ions was discovered by James
Dinneen, who found Maithews
trying to bandage his left
hand, which Dinneen at first
thought was black with dirt,
l but was surprised to learn was
1 burned to a crisp. Dinneen
took the man to the hospital,
i where he died of his injuries.
Recent arrivals in Unalaska
report the deaths of Merrill
and Shugar, professional trap
pers. On October 7 they left
I’Kanaga Island in a small boat
to hunt among some adjacent
: islands, and never returne d
Their bodies were never found
and it is supposed that they
were drowned. Kanaga is in
the Andeanof group west of
Unalaska. Atka is the nearest
; settlement.
