* ELLAMAR CO
* DROPSS i
OF CANNERY
The proposed cannery at Ellamar,
which was to have been erected this
year by the Ellamar Company, will
not materialize, as the company has
decided to quit the Alaskan field owing
*to lack of transportation facilities and
high freight rates.
It is stated that up to the present
time the company has had a contract
with the Alaska Steamship Company
* to haul ore at a low rate which al
lowed a profit on it, the ore being of
low grade and of value chiefly as a
fluxing ore. The contract has expired
and the steamship company is unable
to renew it at the same figures on
account of the high costs. The Ella
mar Company has a large quantity of
ore on the dump, aggregating several
thousand tons, but has decided to
P abandon operations afid sell the ma
chinery and buildings.
At first it was decided to open a
cannery in the buildings, the location
being a good one, right in the middle
of the fish. For some reason the plan
has been abandoned.
The store is operating under the
charge of A. D. S. Myres, who will
keep up the property and also handle
such necessities as are required by
the people living in the vicinity.
E. A. Densmore, president of the
Cmlross Island Mining and Milling
Company, who is superinteneding the
development of the property, is very
enthusiastic over the progress made
by his crew, at present driving a tun- j
uel to tap the rich ore chute extend
ing through the property.
The tunnel is now in 500 feet, and j
the men have encountered several !
. *
rich stringers leading from the pay
chute. The next hundred feet driven
■hould bring the tunnel under the j
shaft driven over the vein, when an i
upraise will be driven to connect the j
* workings. j
Assays of ore samples recently'
taken show values running from $18 !
to $127, and as depth is gained the ore
g#ows richer. The assays are phe- j
Bomenal, considering that the pay
chute is yet one hundred feet away.
The company, which is a Washington
concern, is greatly pleased with the
■howing, and is going ahead with the !
work as rapidly as possible. If the
assays continue to increase in values
by fall the property will be on a pro
ducing basis. It is the intention of
the management to develop the
* ground before installing permanent
/ machinery, which is the sensible and
conservative plan in mine develop
ment. >
The property consists of six loca
tions, each 600 feet wide by 1,500
*feet long, containing 20.66 acres to the i
claim, making in the aggregate 124 i
i
acres. The land is unpatented, but is
held under the mining laws of the
United States as applied to Alaska,
hnd the title is full* vested in the com
pany.
The first two claims discovered and
staked on the island were the Bug
aboo No. 1 and No. 2. These two
claims were discovered Oct. 2, 1910,
by two prospectors named M. G.
Thomas and Ludwig Christianson. The
claims were staked and located the
following day. The other four claims
form the extension of the two Bugaboo
locations, and were staked and lo
cated by Mr. Thomas and his two
sons during the months of June and
July, 1911.
The mine lies about seventy-five,
....
miles west of Valdez, in the westerr
edge of Prince William sound. The
harbor is an excellent one and water
power is abundant.

INTERESTING LETTER g
FROM OLD PIONEER I
!v
.v
At a recent meeting of Valdez :j:j
Igloo, Pioneers of Alaska, a communi
cation was read from John E. B :r- :j:j
rett, the well-known old-timer of Me
Carthy. Mr. Barrett located the jij:
homestead on which McCarthy was j*
subsequently built, and is one of the jij:
very early prospectors in the North.1 ijij
He was a passenger in his own boat! jiji
down the Yukon long “before there
was any Dawson, his headquarters be- jij:
ing at Fortymile. His letter was ex
tremely interestinig for the reason jijj
that it pointed the way whereby Alas- $:•
kans real Alaskans—must help them
selves and Alaska by united action jij:
for self-preservation. jij:
#V
Mr. Barrett thinks that the chief
handicap to Alaskan progress is that
Alaska, as Ella Higginson once said,
“is the most wonderfully misunder
stood country in the world,” and that
it is up to the pioneers to have the
people of the States better under
stand our true conditions up here.
He believes that Alaska needs pub
licity by the people of Alaska,* as the
people of the States give very little “
credit to any other advertising agency.
He is of the opinion that a united
action by the 5,000 members of the
organization of old-time Alaskans, for
the betterment of Alaska, would over
come every obstacle that might be
placed in their way. Like Judge Bun
nell, Mr. Barrett looks upon the Pio
neers of Alaska as “emergency men.”
Though all others flee, they must
stand, else their life’s work is all for
naught.
