The Tunes Will Do that Job of Printing RIGHT
MINING NOTES OF INTEREST
FROM ALL PARTS OF TERRITORY
Upon reliable authority it is learned
that the American Smelter and Re
fining company, one of the largest
smelting companies in the world, has
sent men to Hyder to have them in
vestigate properties on which the
corporation has options. If these
properties show up as wrell as repre
sented, it is believed that the com
pany will start development work in
the near future.
Under present conditions, transpor
tation conditions are such that only
the very high grade ore can be ship
ped from the mines in the country
adjacent to the upper Portland canal,
and there is a possibility that the
smelter company may see fit to build
a plant there large enough to make it
possible for great development in the
whole district.
The representatives of the Ameri
can Smelting and Refining company
left Seattle a few days ago for the
Portland canal district near Ketchi
kan. They went to Vancouver and
from there expected to go by way of
Prince Rupert for Hyder.
The organization of a $5,000,000
corporation for the development of
the Premier mining company proper
ty on Salmon river, in the Portland
canal district of Alaska, was recently
announced in Spokane. Plans are
under way now for the extensive de
velopment of the property, which was
formerly known as the Bush mine,
and it is expected that within a few
years it will be one of the largest
producers of copper, gold and silver
in America.
R, K. Neil, manager of the com
pany, while in Ketchikan ten days
ago, told of some of the extensive
plans which the company have un
der way, and which will mean the
employment of many hundreds of
men. He expressed the belief at that
time that the development in that
district would be so great that the
population would be counted in the
thousands before five years roll by.
During the last year, including last
summer and this summer, the com
pany is spending approximately $100,
000 in road building alone, in addi
tion to what the Canadian and Amer
ican governments are spelling. He
also reported that the future of the
mine is absolutely assured in that
a great body of high grade ore has
been uncovered and traced for a
great distance.
Because of poor transportation fa
cilities, it has been necessary to
throw aside and not ship ore running
as high as $100 to the ton, taking only
that which ran into much greater
values.
J. A. Haney, who returned from
the Kantishna district last week with
a second batch of ore samples from
the silver-lead proposition which he
is developing there stated yesterday
that the work is still going ahead
with satisfactory progress and that he
had no cause for complaint. The
samples were brought here for analy
sis and assay by the mining experi
ment station where they are now be
ing worked on.
Six men are engaged in the devel
opment work at this time and have
driven a shaft a considerable distance
in the ledge. Rainfall has hampered
the operations to a certain extent
but with the present brand of weather
on tap the rate of progress will be
much better. Mr. Haney will return
to the Kantishna in a few days for
more samples.—Fairbanks Citizen.
Unless there is considerable more
rainfall than has so far visited that
district, in the Tolovana country dur
ing the remainder of the summer, the
output of Livengood district will be
materially curtailed, in the opinion
of a number of mining men. More
than a month has now elapsed since
there has been a fall of rain suf
ficiently large to supply water for
sluicing purposes, and if such a con
dition of affairs continues the miners
of the region will not be able to wash
their gold from the gravels no matter
how rich their ground may be.
Only once in the entire month has
there been a chance that rain would
fall in the district. At that time the
overhanging clouds filled the Tolo
vanites with delight, and everyone
prepared to “splash ’er through,”
knowing from previous experiences
that the downpour would be of short
duration, but their delight turned to
dismay when the rain hit only the low
end of the creek including the town
of Brooks, not visiting the upper end
of the creek where the greater part
of the mining is now being done.
The gold which reached Fairbanks
on the last boat from the Tolovana
country, however, is ample evidence
that the Tolovanites are not idle.
v
For despite all drawbacks they have
succeeded in producing some of the
yellow metal, although all who are
familiar with the facts agree that the
production will be considerably less
than was expected unless there is a
greater rainfall,
