Alaskan mining annals contain no
more curious bit of history than that
of "Red",Ellis, discoverer of no less
than three bonanza mining properties.
According to J. O. Buzzard. Port Wells
mining man, the career of “Red" El
lis is distinctly unique and interesting
| and without parallel in all Alaska.
Ellis has prospected all over Alas
ka. From boyhood he has roamed the
vast stretehes of mountainside, eros j
sed streams and suffered hardships j
galore in his search for metals. It is
] said of him, according to Buzzard, that
j as a lad he had occasion to cross many
[ streams, some of which were swift
| and dangerous. At one of these an
| Indian operated a ferry. He charged
. $2 for each person whom he took
] across the turbulent stream. "Red"
I Ellis at that time believed in conserv
ing his finances, and refused to pay
the native his fee. Instead, he swam
J the river on every occasion.
The first property that Ellis assist
ed in putting on the mining map was
the famous Bonanza group at Kenne
! cott. This group, under the manage
| ment of the Guggenhcims, has become
| the w orld's riches copper mine, pro
ducing at the rate of $3,000,000 a
month Then he staked the Midas
mine, across the bay from Valdez.
j This property has been taken over
| by the influential Granby people and
| the mine Is pouring out a continual
I stream of rich copper ore.
I Then Ellis turned to gold. He
,; hunted around a bit and before long
i he had uncovered a rich bonanza
quartz property virtually overnight,
j The Cliff mipe paid over a million dol
lars in divldtnds and was given up as
! worthless. 'Tie lessees abandoned it,
I and Ellis _went back to work
It himself East summer he prospect
ed around on the claim and found a
j newr ore Shout. This ledge of rich
| quartz he lias developed steadily all
| fall and at the time Buzzard left Val
j dez this fall Ellis’ cleanups were run
| ning into tens of thousands of dol
j lars. Some of the ore goes as high
| as $200 a ton
And aside from these three big
I properties Kills his on his record
j many smaller properties and pros
pects that havo not paid dividends as
yet, lut for which he has hopes.
