MING EXPERT
RETURNS FROM
INTERIOR
Among Cordova's prominent visitors
is W. J. Elmendorf, a mining expert,
who has just returned from the Kan
tishna district, where he made an in
vestigation of some quartz ledges for
Carey Morgan, of New York, the young
milli- imire who recently made a trip to
the Mt. McKinley district with a party
of Eastern friends in search of hig
game.
While in the interior young Mor
gan took an option on Joe Quinley’s
property on Moose creek, between
Eureka and Friday creeks. These two
creeks (low into Moose and between
them is a highly mineralized divide.
As to what report Mr. Elmendorf
will make no statement can be se
cured from him. A large sampling of
rock was made taken from the Quin
ley ledge and the samples will be tak
en outside immediately by Mr. Elmen
dorf for assaying. Should they show
a value anything like it is believed
they will, Morgan will very likely pro
ceed to close his option and develop
the property.
Quingley has done a lot of work
on the ledge for a single handed
worker and Elmendorf gives him warm
praise for it. He has numerous tun
nels driven in the sidehiil, blocking
out the ledge, one of these tunnels be
ing 60 feet in length. The ledge is
several feet in width and is a gold
bearing quartz with some free gold In
It.
It will be remembered that young
Morgan proceeded the other young
millionaire hunters out here last Jan
uary without giving the particular
reason for his buried departure be
yond the fact that he had business en
gagements. It seems as tho he went
direct to Denver to consult his uncle
as the result of which Mr. Elmendorf
was engaged to come to Alaska and
examine the properties. He has been
in the employ of the Morgan family
for many years looking after their
mineral interests and is a resident of
Seattle at. present. Morgan expected
to return here with the expert but in
the meanwhile the dentil of his grand
mother came suddenly and he was
obliged to remain outside.
The boys learned of the Quingley
property while enroute to the Mc
Kinley hunting grounds last fall, stop
ping several days with Quingley and
going with him up the Bearpaw for a
short hunt. They became interested
at once in his quartz ledge with the
result that it is now being experted
with a veiw of developing it into a'
mine should Mr. Elmendorf’s report
i—im——
—1— 1 '■ -
warrant such expenditures. Whether
Mr. Morgan 1b alnoe In the enterprise
cannot be learned but at least he is
doing the directing of the present line
or investigation. It is quite probable
that Mr. Elmendorf will leave by an
early steamer for Seattle.
The Kantishina is navigable for
light draft boats up to a point within
thirty miles of the property from
which equipment and supplies would
have to be transported overland. As
there are no roads, they would either
have to be built or freight taken in
over the snow next fall.
-:o:
SHOULD ESTABLISH
NAVAL BASE HERE
Sooner or Inter the United States
will be compelled to establish an im
portant naval base in Alaska. It will
prove the strategic key of the Paciflc
ocean. There are a number of land
locked harbors, to which the high
grade coal can be brought, which will
answer the purpose on the west coast
of Alaska. In case of war, the char
acter of the country Is such that no
considerable force even though land
ed at some point in Alaska, could
go any considerable distance overland
to attack the base from the rear.
From the front the narrow entrances
leading to these different harbors
could be easily closed at a minimum
expense. Some large plans for Al
aska in this direction may be looked
for in the next few years.
FAIRBANKS SETS
FIRST 1815 DUST
The first cleanup for the season of
1915 was brought to the city yester
day and consisted of a neat little
poke of dust brought In by Alfred
Hendrickson and deposited with the
First National Rank. It was sluiced
out on Eva creek, n branch of Easter
so to Evn creek belongs the distinction
of being the first creek to “throw gold”
this year.
This poke In the forerunner of
hundreds of others that will soon
keep the assay office furnaces going
overtime In time to melt the first
shipment for the outside. They will
be coming In today probably and to
morrow and by Monday there ought
to be several cleanups reposing In the
vaults of the two local banks.
Last year it was May before the
cleanups began coming cityward so
that Fairbanks district Is just twenty
three days earlier this season than It
was last. There Isn't a business man
in the city or on the creeks familiar
with the conditions who does not un
hesitatingly prophecy a larger produc
tion this season than there was in
1914. More ground is being worked,
more men will be working, and at
least the season is much earlier. Sev
eral new districts will contribute, in
cluding the Tolovana.—Fairbanks

TRAIL IS FIERCE
FDR AUTO TRAVEL
The two Sheldon autos arrived fin
ally last night, brining in eight people
who had been on the big trail for
eight days says the Fairbanks News
Miner. They had an unusually hard
time of it owing to the early breakup
and one of them described it as “Just
one mudhole after another all the
way.”
There is now no snow on the trail
excepting across the summit, where
double enders are used. The stage
company is using thoroughbraces at
both ends and after trying to use
sleds betwen i’axson’s and Meier’s
finally have given them up for wheels.

NEW PLACER STRIKE
ON INNOKO RIVER1
*
- «
Special Agent H. J. Atwell of the
Alaska field force of the general land
office has returned to Fairbanks from
» long trip into the Iditarod and Kus
kwkwim country. The lower country la
quiet and has experienced an unusu
ally mild winter, he reports, with
prospects for an early breakup. Water
is flooding the Yukon and Tanana and
all the small tributaries are running
water.
The strike on the north fork of the
Innoko river he reports did not amount
to much but that on Spruce creek
a tributary of the Salatna is turning
out to be a good one. His information
is that twenty-one pans produced $7
In dust. The discovery was made In
Febuary, but was kept quiet until the
last of March. A small stampede
was made from Poorman creek in the
Kuby district and all the ground
staked.
At Piledriver the road is flooded and
bridges are loose. Coming over the
suirttjiitt Sheldon put one of his autos
on a double ender for the purpose of
bringing it through for he is assemb
ling all his machines at Fairbanks
now, but it fell off and had to be left
in the snow. He will reach Fairbanks
soon with both of his other machines
and 1b apparently through for the
sea son so far as maintaining a regu
lar schedule iB concerned, for the
roads are getting so bad that autos
cannot travel over them.
