Jim Hamilton is up from Port Wells
and reports that during the summer
he and his associates run more than
one hundered feet of tunnel on their
properties. One of their claims in
Piggott Hay, they extended the tunnel
claims. When the lead was encount
ing the ore body. Fifty feet of tun
nel had been driven last year on the
claims. When the lad was encount
ered the miners drifted on the ore a
distance of thirty feet. The lead has
a uniform width of eighteen inches,
and gave values of $52 per ton with
the ore getting richer as depth was
gained. Samples taken from the face
when the miners quit work assayed
$76 per ton. The tunnel gave a
depth of more than one hundred feet
below the surface showings and Ham
ilton now believes that they have a
mine which will become a big produ
cer when fully opened up. The ledge
matter is different from anything ever
before encountered in the Port Wells
district, aB it is soft and can easily be
picked from between the walls and
pans freely without being mortised.
Hamilton, Tatum and the Irwin
Brothers also have done considerable
development work on the extension
of the Granite veins in Hobo Bay.
They confined their efforts to trying
to discover new leads and did not.
work on ore bodies found last sum
mer, from which some of the richest
specimens ever seen in Valdez were
taken from the surface. The work
this year failed to develop anything of
a startling nature, but the miners be
lieve that they are sure to encounter
a big body of ore when the tunnel has
tapped the surface showing for which
they were running.—Valdez Miner.
