DISCOVERED AT
PORTILLS
Our former townsman, Capt. C. L.
Peabody, has traced a vein a ledge of
antimony at Port Wells for a distance
cf three thousand feet, the vein vary
ing from there to twelve inches with
tbe ore body gradually gaining in size
■with depth. Numerous open cuts
have been made to demonstrate that
the ledge is in place and miners will
he kept, developing the property with
a view of puttting a mill on the ground
for the reduction of the ore.
Samples of the ore analyzed by C.
Xj. Constant, of New York, shows 65
per cent antimony, a trace of gold and
silver, but no other metals are pres
ent. Captain Peabody secured sev
eral splendid pictures of the vien with
miners doing development work.
A ledge carrying antimony in com
mercial values was discovered near
Fairbanks last year and a consider
able shipment of ore was made to
the Tacoma smelter during the past
summer. The owner of the Fair
banks mine is reported to be investi
gating the possibility of bringing his
ore to thd coast by using large auto
trucks.
Capt. Peabody is fortunate in hav
ing his transportation problems solv
ed by nature as his mine is right on
the coast, surroumied by good timber,
and at an altitude of less than 2000
reet.
Dr. Brooks, chief of the Alaskan
Geological department, is credited
with having made the statement that
when Alaska has been developed she
would be found to contain every me
tal known in the world, and then
some yet to be recognized. We now
have mines producipg gold, silver,
—-- -
copper, Iron for fluxing purposes. J
and Oapt. Peabody promises that soon !
we will have an antimony produce*.

BALL GAME TO
TAKE PLAGE
Tomorrow the diamond gladiators
will meet at the local ball park and
indulge in the long-deferred National
game. The event promises to be one
worth witnessing, and the fans will be
out in force to cheer their favorite
team on to victory. The boys from
the collier Prothemus have been in
training for the battle and they claim
to be in fine fettle to s?nd th" Olym
pia Sluggers from the ground with
their spirits drooping and banner trail
ing in the dust or mud, according to
climatic conditions.
The game will be called at 2:30
o’clock in the afternoon and those de
siring seats on the new grand stand
should be hand early. No selection of
an umpire has as yet been made, but
as both clubs are strongly in favor of
a “square deal” this little del ill will
no doubt be satisfactory n~ranged.
The line-up of the teams will be as
follows:
Prothemus Team.
Perry, catcher.
Brgess, pitcher.
Carpenter, first base.
Dlckman, second base.
Robinson, third base.
