MKINLEY LAKE
NINES ARE TO
BE DEVELOPED
The Alaska-HeTcules Mining Com
pany, which was owned by our towns
man, George A. Harmon, has been dis
posed of to Seattle capitalists, who
will operate the property this sum
mer. G. A. Liljestrom is president
and G. T. Mogan secretary and treas
urer of the new company. A contract
has been let to James E. Wilson of
Valdez to haul the machinery and sup
plies to the mine, and he is a pas
senger aboard the steamer Alaska
with twenty head of horses to move
the freight. The Smith mill on Min
eral creek has been purchased for
the Big Four claims. Development
work will also be done this summer
on the company’s holdings at McKin
ley lalfe, about twenty miles from
Cordova.
The Big Four Group.
Carl N. Anderson, mining engineer,
made the following report on the
property to the westward:
The Glacier Ledge, or Ledge No. 3,
is found on the upper claim of the
Big Four group. Its elevation is i
about 6,700 feet and is close of the
summit of the range of mountains
which forms the watershed of Mineral
and Gold creeks. A small portion of
this ledge is covered by an arm of
what is locally known as Brevier
Glacier. The ledge is in evidence
on the surface for a distance of 400
feet and varies in width from eleven
inches to four feet. It consists of iron
stained quartz carrying free gold,
silver and galent (lead sulphide).
The country rock which this ledge
cuts is composed of a series of gray
wackes and slates.
The underground work consists of a
tunnel which cross-cuts the formation
and intersects the ledge at a distance
of fifty-five feet from the portal. A
drift extends in a northerly direction
along the hanging-wall of the ledge
for a distance of forty-five feet An
other drift extends along the same
hanging-wall in a southerly direction
for a distance of forty feet. The width
of the ledge at the point of intersec
tion by the cross-cut tunnel is four
feet three Inches in the rocf and four
feet six inches in the floor. Both
walls are well defined and are in evi
dence throughout the full eighty-five
feet of drifts. The strike of the ledge
as shown in the tunnel is north 65
degrees west, and its dip is 70 de
grees to the north. This agrees very
closely to the strike and dip as noted
on the surface. The depth of the un
derground workings on the ledge is
from forty-five to fifty feet. A sharp
declivity of 150 feet south shows an
aditional depth of 100 feet.
The ledge seems to be very con
sistent and is free from any trouble
some cross-faulting.
A portion of the claim on which
this ledge Is found is covered with
glacial ice, but the rest is void of over
burden, which makes prospecting not
The mineral constituents are in
such a form as to make ttoir extrac
tion by amalgamation and concentra
tion a very simple matter.
McKinley Lake Group.
There has been several thousand
dollars of development on this prop
erty. The lower or long tunnel has
been driven about 550 feet with a
crosscut near the face 100 feet.
The upper tunnel Is about J>00 feet
further up the gulch from The long
tunnel and In elevation 260 feet high
er. This tunnel was started In the
slates on the hanging wall of the vein
•and continued 125 feet, and run diag
onally toward the vein and at seventy
five feet from portal cut the vein on |
the hanging wall side. The vein can
be traced for about 800 feet and in
width from forty to seventy feet.
There are three very large veins on
this group, the one for which the tun
nels were driven can be traced about
800 feet on the surface. The vein is
from forty to seventy feet between
walls and the assays show it is uni
form in values.
The second vein is about 300 feet to
the east of the McKinley, which runs
about parallel to the McKinley, and j
the work done thereon is about ten j
feet wide. t
The third, or Jumbo, is about 300 a
feet east of the Center vein and from i
an open cut shows to be over fifty feet t
wide on the surface. A short tunnel
has been run on this vein below the
open cut about fifteen feet and is in
ore. f
The McKinley Lake lode deposits of n
gold ore are within a mineral belt r
about three thousand feetgwide, ex- r
tending from the shores of Lake Me- f
Kinley northward for a distance of [
about three miles.. *
