M. T. Rowland, mining engineer,
discoverer of the Nizina mining dis
trict. and locator of a large body of
antimony ore about fifteen miles from
McCarthy, recently went to Seattle
from Cordova, and Jack Underwood
publishes the following interesting
story in the Times about this well
known Alaskan:
Rowland first found this antimony
thirteen years ago, about fifteen miles
from McCarthy, which is now the
head of the Copper River & North
western railroad.
At the time it cost approimately
$300 a ton to carry freight to the dis
trict, and as antimony was then worrh
(only a few cents a pound, he did not
j bother to stake it. The war in Eu
rope sent the price of antimony flying
skyward and Rowland returned to the
North. He found the big veins un
touched . He brought a quantity of
the ore to Seattle with him and is now
arranging to make regular shipments
this winter. He is registered at the
Hotel Savoy.
Rowland went into Alaska in 1996 j
and soon afterwards discovered Jack j
Wade Creek, in the Forty-Mile dis
trict. He made a small stake at
Dawson and In the spring of 1900
“mushed” over the Ice from Dawson
to Nome. Then he went into the Cop
per River country, and although miss
ed the Bonanza mine, he found the
Nizina diggings, where he acquired a
number of claims and sold them for
$250,000. Since that time he has been
In Nevada and Arizona In charge of
copper properties.
“Alaska" he said, " is much the
same today as it was in the old days—
the richest, virgin region in the world
for the hardy prospector. The means
of transportation are still largely lo
calized, but it is not hard to see mul
tiplied growth of trade with Seattle as
time goes on. The conditions are
• such that great mines will be walked
| over undiscovered for many years.
' “Nevada Is a bushless region, and
‘ her white and brown hills are eroded
f as clean as a scrubbed floor. It has
. been mined and prospected for fifty
years. Yet within the last fifteen
years a score 01 new camps ha vs
» sprung up. each with one or more rich
i mines. Every year sees some add!
tion to the tUiffifoef, either from nek
discovery or development / "v
“The same tiling will happen Und is
happening in Alaska, where, beCSttse
of the overburdden of moss and de
composed vegetation, prospecting is
much more difficult. The trouble
with Alaska today is that there are too
many men looking for jobs and not
enough seeking to make a fortune for
themselves. \
“Nineteen year* ago I discovered a
real bituminous coal in Alaska cov
ering as large an area as a Washing
ton township. If it has been redis
covered I never have seen any men
tion of it In the newspapers nor did I
hear anything about it on my trip
North.
“Copper mining in Alaska is a com
paratively new Industry. Yet the
boat I rame down brought 2.000 tons j
of copper ore, so rich that It will make
1,500 tons of copper ingots. Ar.d each
succeeding ship is bringing down its
quota of wealth.
‘('■old mining In the Copper River!
Valley Is proving an important factor
in Its wealth, the value of the strikes
made ten and twelve years ago becom
ing more apparent as practical mining
machinery is applied. Valdes. Dan,
Chittitu and Rex Creeks are ail pro
ducing and have years of work before
them. One cut on Chittitu River this
summer yielded $60,000 at an operat
ing cost of $6,000.
"Mining operations are bound to In
crases as the years go by. Mining in
the North is rapidly reaching an In
dustrial stage. The population is
slowly increasing and will continue to
become greater, and the prosperity of
Seattte will not diminish with the de
velopments in the North.”
Rowland believes that the advanced
prices of all metals caused by the war
In Europe will be maintained for a
considerable time after peace is de
clared, and he thinks it probable that
the price of antimony will be carried
along with the price of other metals.
