.'CHROMIC mot
ORE FOUND
That an extensive deposit o
• chromic iron has been located neai
Seldovia is the belief of Represents
tive (’has. Day, of Valdez, who re
cently returned from that section aftei
having made a number of locations.
He brought samples of the ores and is
having analysis made by local as
sayers, artd will also send samples tc
Salt Lake to be tested.
Mr. Day states that the deposit ol
j iron has been known to the miner;
j of the Seldovia district for two years
and while many of them have made lo
cations, none have done extensive de
velopment work. Development work
is not necessary, in the opinion of Mr.
j Day, to demonstrate the value of the
j discovery, as the deposit is more than
one mile wide and several miles !onp
and is apprently of a uniform grade ol
ore.
The big deposit of iron, which may
mean more to Alaska than any of the
great industries of the territory as
yet developed, lies at the heat? or a
small bay on the peninsula between
Seldovia and Dick’s bay. It Is about
eight miles from tidewater and the
valley provides easy means of trans
porting the ores to the beach.
Mr. Day states that he has never
seen anything like the deposk be
fore, in Alaska or any other place.
The contact is very marked. Vegeta
tion grows luxuriantly up to the
change in formation and the surface
then assumes a dull golden color, as
though the sun was constancy shfn
ing on the mountain. The peculiai
color of the mountain is due to th<
leeching of the iron ores by the ele
ments. Below the surface the ort
becomes a briiliant black.
Scotty McRae, has a number o
claims located on one of the Elizabeti
group of islands, off the entrance t<
the bay where the big deposit hai
been found. McRae has done sonn
development word and has three lend
paralleling each other. The loads ari
each fifteen feet wide and only a fev
feet apart. Samples from McRae’i
! ores when analyzed gave returns run
[ ning from 50 to 60 per cent pun
I chromic iron. Samples taken fron
| the big deposit at the head of thi
i valley are identical with McRae’i
{ ores.

TRAIL WORK IS
1 _ . • l*
William James, the original discov
erer of Shushanna, and whose rich
claims on Bonanza creek yielded him
quite a bunch of money, is very
anxious to see a good trail built from
, McCarthy to the new diggings, in
order that freight may be transported
this winter over an American route
to this camp. Mr. James intends
leaaving on tomorrow’s train for Mc
, Carthy to ascertain what it will cost
to do the work and also to try and de
t vise means for the payment of same.
; While in Valdez last week he con
( suited with Major Richardson and
learned that the Alaska Road Com
k mission was willing to contribute $500
, towards defraying the expense of
, building a trail, this being the limit
of the amount that can be diverted for^
that purpose as the Commission's fund
t are limited.
Mr. James says that unless some
( thing is done to put the trail iu con
dition for winter freighting that most
of the operators and prospectors will
have to wait until next spring and get
their supplies in by water over the
Canadian route. This is a matter in
which Cordova and McCarthy mer
chants are vitally interested and some
. plan should be devised whereby this
trade is retained here. The local
Chamber of Commerce has already ex
pened over $6,000 on trail work to
Chisana, but it is apparent that more
. money will have to be expended on
this route if we are to derive the bene
fit which rightfully belongs to this
, section.
