LOST APOLLO
LEAD FOUND
SEATTLE, Oct. 6.—After searching
diligently for more than 20 years,
George Cushing, prospector, found the
lost lead of the once famous, now for
gotten, Apollo mine on Unga island,
Alaska, and sold his interest in the
discovery for $30,000.
The Apollo was the first quartz
mine to be worked in Alaska. It was
opened by the Alaska Commercial
company, which immediately after the
cession of the territory to the United
States, established fur trading posts
at every accessible point. One of the
main branches was on Unga island.
The Apollo mine produced nearly $5,
000,000 and then the lead suddenly
disappeared in a fault. Vigilant search
failed to reveal it again.
Cushing, who had been on the island
seven years before the lead was lost,
could not understand how such a large
body of ore—the vein is more than 200
feet wide—could break off entirely,
and he searched assiduously to redis
cover it. Last spring his long search
proved successful. He picked up the
lead on the otherside of the mountain.
On his way to Seattle he met E. B.
Deming, a Bellingham cannery man
and capitalist, and Deming acting for
himself and Alex H. Bradford of Bel
lingham, and S. C. Scotton and J. E.
Sanducker of Chicago, optioned Cush
ing’s property for $30,000.
The discovery was first examined by
a mining engineer, who roughly esti
mated the amount of ore in sight at
9,000,000 tons, running from 40c to
$14.00 per ton.
The Apollo mine was a big producer
for more than 20 years. A 60-stamp
mill, which is still on the ground, was
kept busy for that time. The tailings
from the mine were run into the bay.
About two years ago Otto W. Carl
son, who made a fortune at Nome, and
who for many years was superintend
ent of the Alaska Commercial compa
ny at Unga, conceived the idea of re
claiming these tailings and treating
the material by the cyanide process.
He began the installation of a plant i
last year, and commenced operations I
last summer. S

Dr. D. L. Carmichael arrived here ^
this week from Anchorage, Alaska, jj
and will enter the practice of medi- l
cine in Okanogan in partnership with j
his brother, Dr. A. B. Carmichael. His l

will join him here as soon as a suita
ble residence can be secured.
Dr. Carmichael visited Okanogan
several weeks ago and was well pleas

and his determination to locate here
was the result of his recent visit. He
is a physician and surgeon of high
standing and will make a valuable ad
dition to the medical fraternity of the
county.
Dr. A. B. Carmichael b is been lo
cated in Okanogan for some two
years an# has acquired a splendid
practice which he found growing to
such proportions that assistance was
necessary and he lent encouragement
to his brother to join him.
