HYDER, Alaska, Mar. 14. 1928
FIVE DOLLARS A YEAR
INDEPENDENCE
PASSES BEYOND
PROSPECT STAGE
Enthused by the volume and
Apparent richness of the ore body
Opened Up this winter in the Inde
pendence tunnel, and speaking in
superlative terms of the work ac
complished by Owney McFadden
ind Eli Watland under trying con
ditions, S. P. Fitzgerald i& back
from a visit to the property, which
. be thoroughly sampled. Sahn is
strong in his praise of the accom
plishments performed by the two
busky milters, gbing so far as to
say that in his opinion they have
established a record for the district
in the amount of actual develop
ment done during the time they
took to drive 1 50 feet and pack
in all their supplies on their backs.
So far as the ore showing tS
Concerned, he has no hesitation in
placing the Independence beyond
the prospect stage. The ciosscut
. at the face of the I 50-foot ‘unnel
$hows 23 feet of ore, with only
one wa l in sight, and in fact all
the work, with the exctpiion of a
Small^dyke, shows ore of appaient
high milling grade. At hi writ
ing he has not received returns on
the samples taken from 100 feet
of the work, but the mineral in the
ore shows for itself and there is
no question as to its being of
Commercial value.
The entire staff of the Miner i§ Sick
this week with the exception of the office
devil, and the makeshift here presented
is the nearest we could cortte toward get
ting- out a paper. There are no printers
here to help us when We are stuck.
