M. O. Thomas, original locator of
the Thomas mining property on Cul
ross Island. Port Wells, Is endeavor
ing to secure sufficient money In Se
attle to equip the mine with machin
ery, and in a carefully prepared ad
vertisement carried In a coast news
paper, sets forth the actual condi
tions at the property and what the
company plans to do with the money
which they hope to raise through the
I sale of stock.
Tho Thomna Culross Mining Com
pany’s property is located on Culross
Island and has been under develop
ment during the past three years, but
owing to the lack of capital It has
not taken its place among the pro
ducing mines In that district.
A shaft was sunk on the lead to a
depth of 26 feet from which ore was
shipped to the Tacoma smelter and
gave good returns. About 400 feet
of tunnel work has been completed,
and Mr. Thomas and his sons, who
are interested with him In the pro
perty. believe they have approximate
ly 40,000 tons of ore blocked out.
This ore, according to the returns
made to the smelter, should return
values to the amount of probably $1,
500,000.
The advertisement states that only
20.000 shares of tho stock will bo
sold, the first block of 10,000 shares
to be sold at 35 cents per share, and
the second block at 50 cents per
share.
.1. B. Howard, who has had twenty
years' expericnee in building mills
and installing mining machinery, re
cently arrived to superintend the con
struction of the buildings and the in
stallation of machinery at the mine,
and Port Wells will soon have another
producing mine, which gives promise
of having a great future.
WHAT GUGGIES AHE DOING
IN CDPPEH MARKET
■
-—
It is not unlikely that the Guggen
heim interests will form another ex
ploration company on the lines some
what similar to those of the Guggen
heim Exploration Company. The lat
ter is to be completely reserved, all
assets being distributed among share
holders, with the exception of their
holdings of Utah Copper, for which
stockholders have options of taking
cash or ftennecott stock. What pro
crtles will form the basis of the new
exploration company is not intimated.
It will probably be some weeks before
an announcement is given out on the
matter.
The time within which the share
holders of the Guggenheim Explora
tion Company must exercise their op
tion to accept Kennecott Copper
shares or cash to represent the com
pany’s Investment In Utah Copper
shares has been extended to Decem
ber 18. Between 75 and 85 per cent
of the stockholders have already filed
their election in the matter with the
management.—Wall Street Journal.

MILK, AND EGGS CHEAP IN AN
CHORAGE TOWN.
The people of Anchorage are taking
exception to the reports spread on
the outside that supplios are short in
the new town. It has been reported
that milk wras selling for $12 per
case and was expected to go to $18
before the opening of navigation. It
is authoritatively stated that milk Is
selling at $t per case; while the egg
market Is flooded. Provisions In An
chorage are actually cheaper than in
Seattle, according to a telephone mes
sage to the Seward Post.

CABARETS FOR ALA8KA AFTER
JANUARY 1.
That at leant two of Seattle's caba
ret cafe proprietors are canting fond
glances at Juneau, with the view of
locating here as noon as possible nf
ter Washington state goes dry, on
January 1, Is the report which Is in
circulation in Juneau today. It is
said that the Seattle ttiVn are going

here, and If business warrants will

-: o;
In these days of rapid consumption
of copper in the manufacture of mu
nitions of war, and the consequent
high price of that metal, special In
terest attaches to any discussion of
our national supply of copper. Dur
ing the last fifteen years the Prince
William Sound region, Alaska, lias be
come an important copper producing
district, and the number of productive
mines there Is constantly increasing
The Ellamar district, a part of this
region, has been the scene of active
mining since 1900, and in order that
accurate information concerning this
area should be available to the pub
lic the United States geological sur
vey has recently prepared and pub
lished a detailed report on It. This
report contains excellent topographic
and geological maps, on a scale of
one inch to the mile, and is illustrated
by numerous plates and figures. The
discussion of the history of the dis
trict and the description of the geo
graphy are of interest to the lay read
er; the treatment of the areal and
structural geology and the discussion
of their bearing on the distribution
of the ore deposits, as well as the de
scription of the mines and prospects,
ire more technical.
The geology of the Prince William
Sound region is highly complex, and
the attempt to read the geological
history of this part of America from
the rock formations as they now ap
pear encounter many difficulties. The
almost complete absence of life in the
Alaskan oceans during the period of
deposition of many thousands of
feet of sediments has left the rocks
practically devoid of fossils, which
are so valuable in determining the
ago of rocks. Nevertheless, the sue
cession of the rock formations at El
lamar has been determined, and their
determination should aid In decipher
Ing the geology of other parts of
Prince William Sound. Some new
conclusions have also been reached
concerning the origin of the Ellamar
copper deposits.

GOVERNMENT GATHERS FIVE
MORE BOOTLEGGERS.
The United States marshal’s office
is In receipt of news from Anchorage
stating that five more bootleggers
have been arrested there for selling
liquor without licenses. The names
of the defendants are Wm. Bateman,
Begdatte, Morris, Dunlay and Brock.
Two of the accused have entered
pleas of guilty to the charges, and
the others will receive trial tomor
row. Bateman was one of the first
batch convicted, and has evidently
failed to profit from his experience.
It is not known if the Dunlap men
tioned In the advices Is Mrs. Dunlap,
who was convicted and fined several
weeks ago on a similar charge.

NO CHANGE IN DEPUTIES AT
McCarthy.
It had been reported about Valdez
that United States Deputy Murshal
Jim Millsap, of McCarthy, had been
transferred to another station, and
that Frank Hoffman would in future
be stationed there. Inquiry at the
United States marshal's office elicited
the information that Hoffman had
started for Chlsana, his headquarters,
but had been stormbound at McCarthy
for several days, which probably gave
rise to the rumor that he would be
stationed there. Millsap is regarded
by the officials here as a very com
petent officer, who is always at his
post of duty.—Valdez Prospector.
