A
BRADLEY TELLS
OF SEARCH FOR
INTERIOR MINE
Being asked to describe his trip
to the Interior and his impressions
of the country, F. W. Bradley,
president of the Alaska Treadwell
Gold Mining company and the Alas
ka Juneau Gold Mining company,
told the Juneau Empire, upon his
return to the coast recently, that
his trip was primarily for one
purpose. He had heard that in the
Dawson and Fairbanks districts
there were quartz claims possessing
the characteristics of the Alaska
Juneau mine; that is, having slate
mixed with the quartz. He stated
that he wanted to get hold of these
properties, if possible, before peo
ple saw what a great success the
sorting process at the Alaska Ju
neau is to be.
Another object of the trip was to
examine the famous Engineer mine.
At this place he found the property
in litigation and no one was allowed
to take samples.
Another thing that he was look
ing for was properties possessing
shipping ore of such quality that it
could be shipped either to Treadwell
for the cyanide process or to the
Bunker Hill & Sullivan smelter in
Idaho, which Mr. Bradley also con
ttols.
Mr. Bradley examined properties
in the vicinity of Whitehorse, in
the Hootalinqua district, Conrad
district, Wheaton and Atlin. At the
piesent time he has Joe Jones and
W. B. HargTaves in that vicinity
scouting;. He left that district for
Dawson and the Mayo silver pros
pects after having previously sent
Tom McDonald ahead to those
places to scout over the country.
After having examined the Dawson
and Mayo districts, he doubled back
to the vicinity of Whitehorse to
examine prospects that his scouts
had thought worth while.
After leaving the vicinity of
Whitehorse for the second time, he
.went down the river to Fairbanks,
Mr. McDonald having preceded him
to that place. He examined several
properties in the Fairbanks district,
hut in neither that district nor in
the Dawson district did he find the
kind of ore for which he was look
ing. That is, ore that could be
• worked in a similar manner to that
in which the Alaska Juneau ore
will be worked after the sorting
device is in full working order.
Deals Are Pending.
Mr. Bradley made several offers
for mines, there are several deals
pending, and bargaining is still go
jing on. He has two parties in the
field, one consisting of Tom Mc
Donald and Livingstone Wernicke,
land the other, in the vicinity of
: Whitehorse, consisting of Joe Jones
11 and W. B. Hargraves. The Mayo
5 silver district has great possibili
ties, according to Mr. Bradley, as
| has also the Kantishna country.
; where there are good silver pros
pects. Nowhere, however, did Mr.
Bradley find a gold mine like the
Alaska Juneau.
Speaking of business conditions
in the Interior and the prospects
for prosperity there. Mr. Bradley
!said that the country, like all other
gold producing countries, has been
hard hit, owing to the fact that the
purchasing power of gold has dimin
ished to such an alarming extent.
The merchants in the country have
been very fair; they did not in
crease prices on the stocks that
they had on hand, but when they
purchased new goods they had to
pay a lot more money for them
than they had sold the other stocks
| for. The consumer, of course, felt
the raise. Everything is high, in
cluding the freight rates; labor is
short, and until things become nor
mal again or gold is put at a pre
mium, the Interior will feel the
pinch.
Mr. Bradley said that the Alaska
Juneau was absolutely sure. The
ere is still there. Everything that'
was ever promised for the mine will '■
be fulfilled and it will be a great j
mine. As stated before in this ar-1
tide, the system of handling the
waste rock in the Alaska Juneau is
going to be one of the greatest j
j successes in a decade in the milling
jworld, and it was to secure proper
ties having a similar ore to the
i Alaska Juneau that Mr. Bupdley’-t
I long trip to the Interior was negot
iated. Work will continue on the
'completion of the Alaska Juneau
mill and on the new sorting process
as fast as rnen and money can
I i
drive it. Mr Bradley reiterated that,
the Alaska Juneau was absolutely
| sure and that the company could
j take care of all the labor that
| might be available in the Juntau
'district.
To Erect a Mill.
| Speaking of Douglas island. Mr.
- Bradley stated that it was the in
jtention of the company in the fu
ture to erect a milling unit similar
to the Alaska Juenau at the west
side of the Glory Hole. This mill
will sort the rock and Douglas
island mills will crush the ore. The
ore at that part of the ledge is sim
ilar to the Alaska Juneau rock in
the fact that it begins to be broken
|by slate stringers and the fine mill
jing and sorting process can be used
there to great advantage. The waste
j rock from there will be dumped
iinto the cave-in hole and in course
I of time will seal it up. It is also
(the intention of the company, when
j conditions get back to normal, to
| continue sinking in the Ready Bull
ion shaft, and if values warrant it.
tunneling under the old workings
lof the island and milling the rock,
i As stated before, negotiations are
; still pending for properties with
shipping ore that may be treated
jby either the Treadwell mills and
cyanide plant or at the Bunker Hill
<£ Sullivan smelter. Crews are out,
;as before said, in the Interior, de
velopment work is going on at the
company' sproperty at Shakan, and
a representative of the company is
! in the new Hyder district. Between
all these places, it will be strange
if something favorable does not de
velop.
