WORKING MINES
AROUND SOUND
The value of the minerals produced
on Prince William sound in 1918 was
53,990.14, compared with $4,667,929 in
1917. This amount is the value of the
product at five copper mines and four
gold mines.
By far the larger part of the copper
output of Prince William sound in
1918 came, as in previous years, from
the Beatson-Bonanza mine, which, be
cause of the increased capacity of the
mechanical equipment, was operated
throughout the year on a larger scale
,, than ever before, although the supply
of labor from March 1 to November 1
did not average more than 70 per cent
of the normal capacity of the mine.
The developments for the year in
clude the completion of the new power
plant, the extension of the double
hoisting compartment verticle shaft
to a depth of 300 feet below the main
level, the enlargement of the mill to
a capacity of 1,500 tons a day, and the
increase of the capacity of the dock
bunkers to 5,500 tons. A 500-ton.
pocket was cut and completed on the
200-foot level, and the development on
that level started.
The Ellamar mine was operated
throughout the year, but at a reduced
capacity, owing to the shortage of
• labor and shipping. Underground de
velopments in 1918 included 200 feet
of drifting. No important changes
were made.
The Fidalgo or Schlosser mine on
Fidalgo bay was operated throughout
the year on about the same scale as
in 1917, A lower tunnel was started,
a small compressor plant was in
stalled, and about sixty-nine linear
feet of new work was done in the ore
zone.
At~ the Midas mine, near Valdez,
mining was suspended during the win
ter, but a small force was retained to
carry on development operations. In
April the force was again enlarged
and regular mining was carried on
until September, when all work ex
cept diamond drilling was indefinitely
suspended because it was impossible
to ship ore.
At the Blackbird group of the La
touche Copper Mining Company, on
Latouche island, operations wrere
much hampered by the shortage of
men, power and cargo space. Early
in the year some ore was shipped, and
later ore was mined and not shipped.
The property has passed into the
hands of the Ladysmith Smelting Cor
poration, which is proceeding with
the development. At the property of
the Threeman Mining Company, on
Landlocked bay, some ore was mined
but not shipped. At the Fidalgo or
Mackintosh mine of the Fidalgo Min
ing Company underground develop
ments were continued, but no ore was
shipped.
Gold mining on Prince William
sound was confined to the operation
of four mines in the Valdez and Port
Wells districts, which yielded only a
small production. Some ore was mined
and milled at the Gold King mine,
but no extensive developments were
undertaken. It is reported that the
Cliff mine was operated by three men
under a lease for a short time. The
Alaska Homestake mine, in the Port
Wells district, was leased to the
Alaska Free Gold Company of Valdez
The mine was operated for part of the
year, a compressor and a seven-foot
Lane Chilean mill obtained from the
^ Granite mine was made. The Big
Four property, on Mineral creek, was
operated in a small way, and it is re
ported that a stamp mill was being in
stalled. At the Capitol Hill mine, on
the north shore of Barry arm, a forty
foot tunnel was driven in ore carry
ing gold, silver and copper, but no
ore was shipped. At the Q. & Q.
property, on College Fiord, a 150-foot
tunnel was driven in 1918.
