Captain Armstrong, formerly of
Cordova, who for fifteen years has
lived in Alaska, and a syndicate of
Arctic Club members have practically
completed the arrangements to send
n crew of men to open up a copper
property at I’ortlock Harbor, adjoin
ing the new copper strike on Chlcagoff
island, made by a Nome and Seattle
syndicate headed by E. E. Fleming.
Armstrong has a twenty year lease
on the property, which is thought to
be a continuation of the vein opened
by the Fleming syndicate.
It. E. Welsh, assayer of the Chica
goff gold mine, started a few men to
work on the Armstrong lease and
made a thorough examination of the
ground. He believes a new copper
district of importance has been dis
covered. There is some high grade
ore, and every indication of a large
tonnage in low grade ores.
The syndicate plans to begin driv
ing a tunnel and making other devel
opment work Immediately. Among
the Seattleites interested with Arm
strong are Frank Wright, of the Car
lisle Packing Company; George A.
Baldwin, formerly of the KennecoU
mine; John Rosene, a Seattle steam
ship man, and J. D. Trenholme, secre
tary of the Mexican-Pacific Company.
