' MINING NOTES OF
LOCAL INTEREST
A rich tungsten strike has been
made at the head of Donvi creek and
traced for the greater part of the
way over to Cleary creek, near Fair
banks. tleorge White, the mining
engineer in charge of the Eagle an
timony mine, is reported to have in
vestigated the matter and to have
declared it promising looking.
The strike is supposed to have
been made by ‘Missou” and a man
named Kice, and for the last week
a quiet stampede has been in pro
gress.
Dan McCarthy, who has been in
the Tolovana district during the
treater part of the last year, reports
that conditions in the new camp are
better than ever, and that if the op
erators could get plants on their
ground the output would be surpris
ingly large. In a number of places,
he says. the. pay has been found, but
the operators cannot haul machin
erv over the trail and it will take
them the greater part of the good
season to get it in by way of the
r ver and then get it in shape for
work.
Operators are now taking out
money all the way from 2 below
Livengood creek to 20 above. And
about the richest ground yet discov
ered is that of Cub Bear Ifnd Henry j
Crook at the lower end of the camp.
Several of the operators on Liv
engood who have recently struck
pay are making arrangements to get
plants out to their property, but it
will be at least the Fourth of July
and possibly later before they get
the plants on the ground.
While many Fairbanksans realize
that there are some antimony prop
erties being worked in thtT Fair
banks district, there are few people
in Interior Alaska who know that
Fairbanks has one of the greatest
antimony mines ever discovered in
the. United States. An authority on
antimony, who has specialized on it
for years, says that a mine that will i
produce 2,000 tons of -antimony is
considered a large one, in fact as
large as any worked in the United
States.
The Eagle mine, near Vault, pro
duced almost a thousand tons last |
! summer, and up to the present time
has produced another thousand this
year. There is a good-sized crew
of men at work now, and this will
be increased within a few days.
What the mine will produce during
the summer is not known, but it
probably will be at least another l
thosand tons of ore. An engineer i
who is familiar avith the property j
and with all the large antimony j
properties of the United States de- j
dares it the greatest antimony prop
erty ever located.—Fairbanks News
Miner.
There is little activity at present
in the mining section of the Circle
district, but it is expected there will
be Quite a lot of work in progress j
within the, next few weeks. The j
majority of the cuts are still tilled
with ice and it is a difficult matter
for the operators to get their outfits
in shape to work. In addition to
this obstacle there is a great deal
of snow in places, making it im
possible to haul wood or machinery.
The Berry dredge does not expect to
start until July 1.
Jack Leach and Dick Thorson,
Ester creek operators, purchased
the interests of Pete Malone in 13
below, Cleary creek. The considera
tion for the deal is said to have
been $25,000 cash. This is one of
the most important mining deals of
the year to go through since the
actual mining season opeue.d.
Several years ago the property
belonged to the estat^of Mark Sul
livan, formerly a well known attor
ney of Fairbanks. property
was not considered very good and
was sold by the administrator of the
estate to Mr. Malone for $8,000,
with the understanding that it
should be paid out of the ground.
For three years Mr. Malone has
worked on the ground and bas taken
i out a substantial sum of money.
; Last summer he struck especially
I big pay and cleaned up a neat fur
i tune.

Preparations are under way for
the development of the Black Dia
mond group of gold quartz claims,
situated on the north side of Valdez
bay, adjoining the Three-in-One
claims. A contract has been award
ed to James Wilson to freight up
the supplies from the beach to the
camp.
Judge Tucker, of the Second di
vision, has appointed J. J. Wachen
heimer, Vnited States commissioner
for Dime creek camp, Koyuk, ami
miners of the district are pleased.
Frank Skeen, who with Charles
Emsweiler discovered gold in four
creeks and also a quartz ledge, at
Nooka bay, SO miles southwest of
Seward, early in June, has left for
the scene of the strike.
Assays made of the ore are said
to have shown good values, but the
two refused to give out details in
spite of the scores of people who
made inquiries as to the showings
found. Ore samples brought back
by the men last week show free gold
which could be seen with the naked
eye.
In one respect Ruby district at
the present time can lay claim to a
distinction which is most creditable
and which affords just ground for
considerable local pride. The eight
hour law passed by the Alaska leg
islature is religiously observed
throughout the. district—in the let
ter and in the spirit—without at
tempt at evasion or to read into the
act anything whatever that it was
not meant to contain. This is a 1
condition probahlv unique in Alas
ka—most certainly so in the in
terior. Moreover, it appears to give
perfect satisfaction to the operators
and working miners alike.
Add to this the further circum
stance that the cleanups in every
instance, so far as heard from, are
materially exceeding expectations.
