United States Mine Inspector Sum- <
ier S. Smith, in his annual report on t
he mining industry of the territory of (
Uaska, a copy of which has just been |
•eceived from the bureau of mines, de- i
jartment of the interior, has the i
'ollowing to say of the Copper River i
listrlct: i
"Alaska Consolidated Copper Com- <
pany.—Development work was contin- i
jed at the company's property by the ]
Eastern interests that hold an option,
rhe mine is situated on Nugget creek, <
a tributary of the Kuskulana, and is
about sixteen miles from Strelna, a
station on the Copper River & North- i
western railroad. During the winter i
a power plant and compressor were
Installed. i
“Great Northern Development Com- |
pany.—Only assessment work was
lone at the company’s property, which <
Is on Clear creek, a tributary of the
Kuskulana.
"Hubbard-Elliott Copper Company.—
Development was continued at the ,
company's property on Elliott creek, a
tributary of the Kotsina.
“The corporation is working two
mines, the Bonanza and the Jumbo, on
Bonanza mountain, and is developing
several prospects in the Copper River
district. The mines are close together
and about three miles from the con
centrator at the terminal of the Cop
per River & Northwestern railroad.
“Both mines are connected with the
concentrator by Bleichert aerial tram
ways, and at both most of the ore is
ehalcocite, with smaller amounts of
covellite and copper carbonates. The
ore occurs in irregular bodies and
seams throughout the limestone; there
is no regular method of mining, but
a separate plan is adopted for each ore
body, 'according to its size and slope.!
In the larger massos the high-grade!
ore has been worked in benches; the
mill ore has been blasted in from the
shies to fill the slopes and then drawn
as needed. The limestone is hard and
stands well, permitting the opening of
chambers of a size that in a softer
rock would be attended with consider
able danger.
“TSs Jumbo mine is opened by an
inclined shaft, 30 degrees, with levels
100 feet apart vertically. This shaft
is being sank from the 700 to the 800
foot ifevei. Ventilation is nanimal, ex
cept for the air from the machines and
the small blowers used to force air
into the dead ends of the drlits. The
tramway from the mine to the con
centrator, completed last year, has a
capacity uf twenty tons an hour at a
speed of 528 feet per minute. It is
Tb'SoO feet long and has nineteen tow
ers, throe break-overs, and three ten
sion stations. The track cable on the
loaded side is an inch and one-quarter
in diameter, cm the empty side one
inch, and the haulage cable is seven
eighths inch. Each bucket has a ca
pacity of six cubic feet.
"The air compressor plant at the
Jumbo comprises two Ingersoll-Rand
Imperial type, Class XB-2, 15 and 9
inches by 12 inches, cross-compound,
two-stage compressors, each having a
piston displacement of 613 cubic feet
of free air a minute, belted to 79%
h. p. Westinghouse type C. W. motors;
cue ingersoll-Kajid imperial, Class
NE-1, 12 1-4 by 12-lnch single-stage
compressor, with herringbone gear
connection to a 50 h. p. Westinghouse
type 0. S. induction motor; and two
small compressors, not in use at pres
ent time, each with a piston displace
ment of 310 cub feet a minute.
“The Bonanza mine is opened by a
crosscut and inclined shaft sloping 20
to 33 degrees, and a glory hole. As
the shaft is too small for good work
and a larger part of it is in ore, a
new three-compartment shaft which
will provide two hoisting compart
ments and a manway, is being raised
from the 600-foot level to the main
crosscut. This year a crosscut was \
completed on the third level to the
Mother Lode side of the mountain, and
a raise driven to surface for air and
a manway. All ventilation is natural
except for the air from machines and
that from small blowers for the dead
ends of advance workings.
“The Bonanza tramway, 15,450 feet
long, with 44 towers, an angle station,
and a tension station, has a capacity
af eighteen tons an hour at a speed of
152 feet a minute. The diameter of
the track cable on the loaded side is
me and one-eighth inches, on the
;mpty side seven-eighths inch, of the i
laulage cable, eleven-sixteenths inch, i
fhe buckets have a capacity of five 1
ubic feet each.
“The air compressor is an Ingevsoll- i
land, Class PE-2, 25 1-4 and 14 1-4 £
iches by 21 inches, cross-compound, E
wo-Rtage. with a piston displacement b
f 2,030 cubic feet of free air ner min- c
te; it is directly connected to a 250 y
. p. Westinghouse synchronous motor.
“In the power plant, which is on the i
oncentrator site, are two 305 h. p. c
pecial Erie City oil-burning, water- v
ube boilers, which furnish steam at s
60 pounds working pressure. The c
rime movers are: An Allis-Chalmers v
3 and 17-inch by 21-inch reciprocal ]
ng engine, direct-connected to a 400 t
C.V.A. Allis-Chalmers (Mass A-l gen- i
xator; a 500 K.V.A. Westinghouse J jj
urbo-generator, and a Pelton wheel, f
lirect connected to a 200 K.V.A. West
nghouse type G generator. Current j
s generated at 480 volts and used at ;
his pressure in the mill; for trans- j
nission to the mines it is stepped up r
o 10,000 volts, but is stepped down to <
80 where it fR used. Two oil tanks 2
vdth a total capacity of 153,000 gallons ^
mid the fuel oil. ]
"At the concentrator the ore is ,
irushed and passed over an automatic j
veighing belt, then It is sampled and ,
tiand-sorted. The high-grade ore is (
‘hipped without further treatment, but |
he low-grade is crushed and classified .
:o obtain a high-grade concentrate, ,
vhich is shipped, and a tailing which ,
;oes to the leaching plant. •
“A 6,095-foot tram, Leschen & Sons,
;onnects the mine with 1,500-ton ore
)ins on McCarthy creek, the difference
n elevation of the terminals being
2,798 feet. Its capacity is 100 tons in '
in eight-hour day. The diameters of
he cables are: Loaded side, one and
me-eightb inches; empty side, seven
sighths inch, and haulage, three
'ourths inch.

“Mother Lode Copper Mines Com
pany.—The compahy's property is
about one and one-fourth miles from
the Kenneeott Bonanza mine, and
fourteen miles from McCarthy, a sta
tion o hthe Copper Ri^er & North
western railroad During the winter
months the ore is sledded over a
wagon road down McCarthy creek to
the station.
“The qre bqdy is two to nineteen,
feet wide. The predominant mineral
is chalcoeite, which is associated with
sulphides and carbonates. The coun
try rock is limestone. The main ore
body strikes generally N. 22 degrees
E; it dips 80 degrees E. in the north
ern part of the workings, and 70 de
grees W. in the southern part.
“The property has been opened on
four levels for a vertical distance of
over 250 feet, the lowest level being
■ tapped by a crosscut at an elevation
of 5,585 feet. A two-compartment
shaft has been started on this level,
though work has been temporarily dis
continued on account of the high cost
of power.
“North Midas Copper Company.—
The property is situated about eleven
miles from Strelna, on the south side
of the Kuskulana river. In the group
are twelve lode claims, covering a
number of outcrops of copper-bearing
ore, the predominant mineral being
ehalcopyrite. Four crosscuts have
been driven to intersect the lodes.
“Placer Mining.—Most of the placer
mining in the Copper River district
was on tributaries of the Chistocbina
and Nazina rivers, though a number of
smaller properties were worked on the
Breinner and other tributaries.
"On Dan creek, a tributary of the
Nazina, the Dan Creek Mining Com
pany works a group of claims. As the
creek has a comparatively rapid fall
and is extremely turbulent during high
water, this company has had to meet,
many difficulties. In opening the
ground the main body of the creek is
Burned past the area to be worked, i
wing dams set, a bedrock flume laid,!
and the gravel washed into the flume j
by giants Railroad iron is used for:
riffles and a tailing giant at the lower
end of the flume staens the waste. As I
the pits are worked out the wing damsi
are moved up stream and the flumes |
extended.
“On Chititu, also a tributary of the I
Nazina, Esterly & Andrus had the i
largest placer operations, working one
plant on the main stream and a sec
ond on Rex, one of the principal
branches. On Chititu a bedrock flume
is laid in the spring through the part
sf the ground to be worked that sea
son. Giants are set at the upper end
)f the block and the pit worked down
stream, the sluices being extended as
lecessary to carry the tailings. Rail
oad iron and sawed blocks are used
or riffles.
“Near the mouth of Rex Frank Ker
tan w’orked a small hydraulic plant,
nd a few claims up the creek E. W.
m
rooks employed a few men on Bltm
ir work. Bert Carvey worked a bench
lafm on the same creek when water
'as available.
‘On the Chitistone, Slate creek and
s tributary, Miller gulch, were the
enter of activity, though scarcity of
ater on Miller g-ulch prevented exten
ive work. At the mouth of Slate
reek J. M. Elmer and associates
rorked three placer claims under
;ase. A twenty-inch pipe conveyed
ie water to one four-inch and two fi ve
tch giants under a 140-foot head. The
ravel bank was approximately twenty
Jet high.
“Several claims above this is the
ohn S. Miller group of three claims,
lere water from two streams under a
80-foot and a 390-foot head Is di
ected against a twenty-foot bank by
me four-inch and one three-inch no«
le. Meyer & Prolig, Kraemer, Leavelt
c Hemple, William Schroeder, Bert
IcDowell and the Canaille brothers all
.orked small plants in the same local
ty, and a number of others did assess
nent work on their claims. The grav
is of the lower Chesna were drilled
iy John Ha/.elett to test their avail
ibility as dredging ground. On the
ipper Chesna, Holmes & Brail worked
small plant.”
