Broad Pass to
Be Big Producer
W. T. Parsons and Clarence Bran
! non returned yesterday from the
| Broad Pass country where they have
: been doing assessment work on differ
ent quart? property for the past three
months. These gentlemen brought
down a fine collection of ore samples
of all kinds including copper, lead and
antimony and icpcrt a very successful
season.
Mr. Parsons was formerly connec -
ed with the Alaskan Engineering
Commission but his experience in the
mining camps was too strong so he re
signed to visit the Broad Pass coun
try. Mr. Parsons is a mining man of
considerable experience and in an in
teresting and comprehensive interview
with The Daily Times yesterday aft
ernoon said:
“About next yedr people will sit up
and take notice of the Broad Pass.
When two years ago it was learned
that the Guggenheims had gone in
there and bonded the Golden Zone for
$150,000 and were starting actual de
velopment work, there was great ex
citement. Tom, Dick and Harry rush
ed in there and staked everything in
sight. The prevailing impression was
that all one had to do was to stake a
claim in the zone and in a week or so
a representative of the Guggenheims
would call around and hand them a
check with six figures on it. But the
Guggenheims are not that kind of
people. After expending about $20,
000 and negotiating unsuccessfully
with owners of adjoining ground, they
suddenly threw up their option and
withdrew from the field, stating that
“wages and transportation were too
high.” This was true. Freight into
the Broad Pass cost them 25c a pound
and labor was $7.50 a day. But their
$20,000 was not thrown away. They
made over 2,000 assays of Broad Pass
ores and created a bear market for
Broad Pass claims. At the proper time
the ‘Guggs’ can go back there and get
; the whole district for practically noth
ing. Almost but not quite. There are
a few sturdy prospectors who did not
i rush in after the Guggenheims. 'They
were there ten years before the Gug
genheims and they are there yet.
These men, the Wells Brothers, (Lou
and Frank) and their associates, have
begn going into the Broad Pass year
after year, doing their assessment
work and uncovering new ore bodies
every year. Their properties, the
Golden Zone, Riverside and Northern
Lights, are looking better than ever.
A 120-foot cross-cut on the Golden
Zone shows average values of $0.00
(in gold alone) a ton. Picked samples
will run from $30 to $50 per ton. The
Zone has been traced for over six
miles and wherever creeks cross it,
shows good values. Besides the well
defined ore bodies, there are moun
tains of lime-rock carrying gold val
ues averaging $2 per ton. This lime
rock will readly concentrate .20 to 1.
“Adjacent to the Northern Lights
property the Wells boys have a splen
did coal value when the mines start
up. The coal is apparently a high
grade lignite. It is clean anti hard
and does not weather and crumble
when exposed to the air. I saw a pile
of it which had lain by a forge for
nearly a year exposed to the elements,
and it was just as good as when
mined. The seam is 25 feet thick and
dips slightly from the horizontal and
can be mined from tunnels.
“Besides the Wells boys, Charles
Lindfors has some valuable properties
on the zone and has been in there all
summer developing them.
“Jack Coffee and the Bowker Bros,
also have valuable properties there. J.
A. Dinney has the “Mountain View,”
Babie and “Golden Zone Fraction No.
1,” and also the “Last Chance” over
on Long creek.
“We also visited the Ohio creek
district. Here the ores are of a dif
ferent character. No low grade here.
But rich quartz and high grade ga
lena carrying 200 ounces of silver to
the ton. On the Ready Cash group
this summer Frisbie, Murray and Mil
ler ran two tunnels and showed up
good veins of pure galena between
solid walls. This stuff is rich enough
to ship out with dog teams, and when
the railroad reaches the pass there
will be a train-load of sacked ore
waiting for them to take out; smelter
or no smelter.
“No one except experienced pros
pectors should go into the Broad Pass.
The mineral district is off in the south
west corner of the pass, on the west
fork of the Chulitna. It is a hard
country to get into, as it is off the
beaten track. That is the reason the
government geological parties have
overlooked it. They have never seen
it. But the ‘Guggs’ did not overlook
it. Those heavy iron cappings and
the big mining men are looking for
today.”
Mr. Parsons will probably go out
side for a few months and Mr. Bren
nan has purchased supplies and pro
visions for next summer which he will
ship to Talkeetna and take into the
Broad Pass country with the Wells
brothers by the way of dog teams over
the winter trail.
LABOR IS SCARCE IN
ALASKA, SAYS DISPATCH
(Juneau Dispatch)
Labor is scarce in Alaska.
That is, for the first time in many
years, there is an active demand in
every section of Alaska.
There are a few inquiries for car
penters and other mechanics, but as
a rule no trouble is experienced in
filling such positions.
The demand for labor has been
caused principally by the fact that
the railroad at Anchorage put addi
tional men to work, and for the rea
son that many miners and prospectors
and others get busy in the hills dur
ing the summer months. Many work
ingmen also have gone to the Yukon
where labor has been made scarce
owing to the number of men recruited
for the Canadian ranks.
The shortage of labor will not last
long. As soon as the colder weather
begins men will be flocking from the
hills and isolated sections into the
cities again.
Juneau is becoming the winter head
quarters for a large number of work
ing men, who find that they can live
cheaply here by renting cabins and are
handy for work which may offer in
almost any pail of the territory.
The mining companies as yet are
not handicapped any by the active de-:
mand for labor, but it is noticed that
thoseseeking work are more particu
lar about the hours and pay than
formerly when there was an over-sup
ply o f labor.
The Juneau post office has 1,000
lock boxes, and it is believed that an
additional 500 will be necessary to
~neet the demand.
