S25GJ00 IN
Tom Altken, the wealthy operator
of the Interior has purchased the
quartz property of the Wells boys In
the Broad Pass for n quarter of n
million dollars. Two thousand dollars
were paid down In cash and a further
payment of eight thousand dollars will
be made in thirty days. The pro- *
porty consits of three claims on what
is known as the Mammoth ledge.
It is reported the deni waB consum
mated by Altken for the Guggenheims r
and that the great smelting firm is |
about to develop that, section on a
very extensive scale.
The latest news from Broad I’ass
seems to confirm the most optimistic
statements made about it notwith
standing the scepticism which has
been in evidence in quarters outside.
DEATH Df C. J. JONES
WELL-KNOWN IN CORDOVA
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 23—C. J.
Jones, traftlc manager of the Southern

where he held a similar position with
the Alaska Steamship Company and
Copper River & Northwestern rail
way.
VALDEZ GREEK tt
P TO !

C
J. C. Duff, one of the pioneer pros- a
pectors of the Valdez Creek district, "
and who owns some valuable ground 11
there, was an arrival from the interior "
Tuesday, where he has spent '
the past summer in prospecting his '
ground. He has been operating a
drill, and reports striking some very !>
excellent ground, which, after some
further prospecting to determine the!°
method of operation, he will proceed Sl
to work on a considerable scale. 11
Mr. Duff states that the outlook for *);
the Valdez creek district Is exception- j 11
ally good. The Valdez Creek Minning f
Co., a Boston concern, which took w
over a large part of the individual
holdings on the creek, including the ol
rich Tammany Bench group belong- sl
ing Pete Monahan, has installed pro- s<
bably one of the largest and best hy- P*
draulic plants in this section, and dur- 'B
ing the past summer have done an im
mense amount of preparatory work, d<
and late in the season a little raining, at
but only for a few days, during which ti
time .It was demonstrated that they bi
have ground that Justifies the great g<
outlay they have made. ai
The ground the company is prepar- m
ing to work is the Tammany bench bi
and other bench ground adjoining. A w
pipe line has been put in, carrying ti
—.
tuple water for the purpose, under a
Tong head, which will operate two
inntfi. The sluice boxes have been
(stalled, having been sunk about six
•et into the rim, and everything is in
-adiness to commence mining on a
irge scale next spring.
The mining conditions are almost
leal, there being a fall of about 80
■el to care for these tailing, and the
>mpany has secured a considerable
rea of creek ground to care for the
aste. It is estimated that these
smell claims will yield enormously
nder the hydraulic method of mining,
j under the old tunneling method by
ck and shovel they have already
reduced a large sum, and a handsome
"ofit over the cost of working.
1’ete Monahan, who was the original
vner of the Tammany Bench, after
•liing to the company, purchased a
tmber of creek claims from other
trties. During the past summer he
is done considerable prospecting on
e ground, which, while showing up
ell, is deep.
Carlson, another of the pioneers
the Vadez creek diggings, is also
aying with the country, after having
ild his original holdings to the com
tny. He has other ground which lie
prospecting with good results.
The country in the vicinity of Val
■z creek is very highly mineralized,
id it is anticipated that long before
e placer fields are exhausted it will
icome a prominent quartz camp, as
>ld, silver and other float is common,
id the veins from which the speci
ens were detached will undoubtedly
! found by some of the prospectors
lio are beginning to visit that sec
jn.
