Over Mines in
Willow Creek
“Very few Anchorage people with
whom I have come in contact seem to
realize or appreciate the importance
of the Willow creek mining district
as a factor in the upbuilding of a real
city here. What I saw and learned
during an inspection trip of several
days to the mines and mills convinced
me that they will for an indefinite but
lengthy period be the most tangible,
permanent and profitable source of
the city’s prosperity.” The foregoing
statement was made by C. H. Pack
ard, who returned yesterday from a
visit to the famed Matanuska valley
and the mines. “Now don’t misinter
pret me as belittling the coal and ag
ricultural resources, for they are un
developed assets of unmeasurable
value; but at present the big yellow
bricks of gold being turned out daily
at the Gold Bullion, Martin, Inde
pendence and Mable mills are more
tangible than the 1,000 tons of pota
toes which Matanuska farmers will
harvest in the season or the coal
which will be coming down over the
new railroad from Moose creek with
in a few weeks. However, production
of vegetables and coal will give em
ployment to a greater number of peo
ple than the gold mines, and eventual
ly the average yearly output of vege
tables and coal may represent more
I value.
The four mills are now running
night and day and crushing an aver
age of 150 tons of ore every 24 hours,
with about 200 men employed in
mines and mills. The managers do
not care to make public the value of
the output, but an inquisitive visitor
may learn from one person the num
ber of tons mined and milled, from
another the number of ounces of bul
lion produced, and only a slight know
ledge of mathematics is necessary to
ascertain the total value of the out
put. By this process I learned that
bullion to the value of at least $75,000
is each week coming to Anchorage.
■ This amount will be considerably in
■ creased during the remainder of the
season, because the new Denver mill
at the Independence, increasing the
| daily capacity of that plant from 10
to 50 tons a day, commenced operat
ing this week. The trial run was
made Monday forenoon on ore re
nort.ed to he valued at S200 to $300
per J;on, from a new body recently
uncovered in the winze sunk from the
adit on the lower vein.”
Referring to a subject which re
cently attracted public attention un
favorably to the Gold Bullion mine,
Mr. Packard said:
“I know nothing of conditions
■ which prevailed there under the old
management—conditions complained
of by former employes and which
were referred to by Mine Inspector
. Smith in a recent interview in The
Times; but such conditions are not to
be found there now. Early in the sea
son, before trails and roads were
passable, fresh meat was not to be
j had; now there is abundance. An
additional bunk house and a drying
and changing room have been pro
! vided at the mine and a pipe line con
veys the purest of mountain water
direct to the camp. I met several per
sonal acquaintances and none of
them complained, or appeared to have
reason to complain, about either food
1 or accommodations. I have had more
than 25 years’ experience in the min
ing game, from prospector to opera
tor, and I never sat at a camp table
supplied with a better quality or a
greater variety of palatable food than
that served at the mill mess house.
In fact, there isn’t a restaurant in An
chorage that serves better meals than
1 th'e supper and breakfast at which 1
joined manager, superintendent, fore
men, packers and other employes,
‘highbrows’ and ‘roughnecks’ all at
one table.
“I met several prospectors going in
to the hills north of Willow and Fish
hook creeks, attracted tliereto by the
recent rich discoveries reported m
The Tin es. Extensions and improve
ments on roads and tra'ls are greatly
needed, prospectors and mine owners
joining in the complaint that the road
commission is not giving the district
the attention which it justly deserves.
A little work is being done on the op
per end, but for at least two-thirds of
the. distance between Knik and mile
32 teams can not pull full loads be
cause of the need of a little work that
might be done with scraper or drag.
A shipment of copper ore from Fi
dalgo bay, sent to the Tacoma smel
ter, went 14 per cent copper and re
turned a handsome sum to the own
ers of the property, who will develop
it into a regular shipper.
