Bonanza Ore
- Found in Vein
Near Teikhell
(Valdez Prospector).
Two hundred fifty thousand dol
lars per ton seems like a fabulous
value to place on free-milling ore,
yet specimens that will go as high
as this, and probably a great deal
higher, were brought into town a few
days ago by Nick Meckem from a
vein recently discovered by him while
working on the property belonging
to himself and H. E. Ellis near the
Teikhell roadhouse. Mr. Meckem and
assistants have been doing a large
amount of development work on the
claim, where they have been open
ing up a large vein of ore, carrying
good vulues. For more than a year
Mr. Meckem has been engaged in this
work, with excellent result. , and was
very much encouraged by the show
ing made. A few days ago he no
ticed that a large snow patch, about
fifty feet away from the mouth of the
tunnel, had shrunk more than he had
ever seen it before, and walked over
to inspect it. He noticed some float
in the debris and began digging
around a little, and in a few minutes |
uncovered what is probably some of j
the richest ore ever seen in this sec
tion. Two specimens, of considerable :
size, that Mr. Meckem took off from
the vein and brought to town with
h:m are certainly beautiful, with their
admixture of gold and quartz, the
gold predominating. Mi-. Meckem
does not claim to have many tons of
this ore, for he does not know the
extent of the vein or that it will
carry this class of ore for any depth.
He does know that he was unable to
strip the lead for more than two or
three feet, and that for that distance
the surface ore is of this charcater.
Further than this he knows that the
ground above the vein is rich in plac
er gold from the eroded vein matter
and he expects to take out a nice lit
tle stake from this source when he
returns, having while here, made
preparations to sluice the overburden.
Messrs. Meckem and Ellis are very
enthusiastic over the find and are
confident that with development the
vein will prove one of the richest in
the Valdez district. During the past
few days they have completed plans
for opening up the vein, and Mr.
Mecvkem left yesterday afternoon to
return to the property and begin the
work of development.

Things Are Not
As They Used to
Be in Alaska
(Juneau Dispatch)
John Perella and associates are get
ting evidence with a view of laying a
complaint before the district attorney
against certain individuals who made
free with the contents of a tent near
the summit of Mt. Juneau. They be
lieve that they have the names of two
of the parties.
As most people know who have \
climbedMt. Juneau, the task is some- i
what difficult and when the climb is
made with a heavy pack and two or
three trips a day are made with a view
of getting up provisions with which to
do development and assassment work,'
the toil is greatly multiplied. There-;
fore, to find that persons climbing Mr. ]
Juneau for fun not only made use of
the contents by eating what they
wanted, but actually destroyed some
of the same and left the tent in disor
der, is enough to make most any ordi
nary man angry.
“We never objected to any person
helping himself to a lunch or cooking \
a meal from the contents of the tent,” j
said Mr. Perella, “although every
ounce of grub and the stove and cook
ing utensils had to be carried up at
considerable expense, time and labor,
but the vandals who wasted some of
our grub shall be brought to account
of there is any law in the land for
reaching them.
“There used to be a time in any part
of Alaska where a miner could leave
a cache or cabin or tent and never
fear that anything would be disturb
ed. It was well understood that any
one coming along and needing a meal
should help himself. It was the un
written law that dry wood should be
left in the place of that used, and that
everything should be left in good ol
der.
“There seems to have arrived in !
Alaska an entirely different element,
comprised of people who have a mania
for destroying things. On Mt. Ju
neau, for instance, are surveyors’ pat
ent posts which cost a dollar each,
and people have practically destroyed
several of them by splitting and rid
dling them with bullets. One may ob
serve different signs on the roads lead
ing out of Juneau peppered with bul
lets.
“However, in some of the more
lonely districts neglect to leave dry
wood in a cabin or to leave the things
in good order, might mean the life of
some person reaching there in an ex
hausted condition.
“Yes,” concluded Mr. Perella, “I
think we shall have sufficient infor
mation to lay before the district attor
ney in another day or so. We purpose
to teach the vandals a lesson they will
not soon forget.”
IMPORTANT DEAL
LATOUCHE ISLAND
(Valdez Prospector).
A deal of considerable magnitude
was consummated this week when the
Wilson-Little property passed from
the hands of its original owners to
the Kennecott Copper Corporation
for the sum of thirty thousand dol
lars cash.
The property consists of a group of
ten claims, together with millsite and
water rights on the island. A large
amount of development has been
done on these claims consisting of
more than 1,700 feet of tunnel, de
veloping a considerable body of cop
per ore. The property is well equip
ped with air compressor, drills and
a complete electric plant for lights
and power, operated by a never-fail
ing water power, developing ample
power for all requirements.
It is said that the new owners con
template the immediate development
of the property on an extensive scale,
and have given a contract to Mr. Wil
son to lay six thousand feet of water
pipe, for the further development of
the water power. Mr. Wilson left
yesterday on the Alaska for Latouche
to commence work on his property.
The company will begin mining
operations within a few days and ex
pect to place the claims on a produc
ing basis within a short time.
