I WILE CUT COST
—
The high cost of provisions and
mining material and the scarcity
of workers are combining to retard
mining activities in Interior Alaska
according to Gust Peterson, well
known Fairbanks and Tolovana oper
ator, who arrived from the upper
town a few days ago for a look over
the Xenana district. “There is no
use trying to mine under present
conditions,’- Mr. Peterson told a rep
resentative of The News last night,
and he said, further, that it was his
intention to close down his mines
at the close of the present season
^and keep them closed until condi
tions for underground mining are
more favorable. “Most of us,” he
continued, “are working for the pro
vision men and transportation com
panies this season, and I, for one,
do not intend to waste any more of
my time and risk my investments
for the benefit of the men who are
holding the country back. Most of
my ground is patented and will de
crease none in value through -re
maining idle until mining can be
resumed with some assurance of
profit."
Mr. Peterson believes that some
means will be found soon to cut
mining costs so that the large areas
of low-grade ground throughout In
terior Alaska can be worked at a
profit, even if food prices do not
lower appreciably. The under
ground scraper he suggests as a
possible solution of the problem,
and, if that fails to cut the cost
sufficiently, some other device will
be found to do the work so that all
the gold taken out need not be lost
to the operator. There is too much
gold in the country, he says, to be
abandoned altogether, and he pre
dicts th~t someone ■nil! soon run
across a scheme for the successful
development of the low-grade prop
ertiess.
Mr. Peterson has some ground ::i
the Tolovana which he intends to
wc.rx bv the hydraulic method next
year. He has an outfit coming in
this year and expects to be able to
turn on the water very soon after
the snow goes next spring. He is
very enthusiastic over the proposi
tion, chiefly because it offers a
solution of the labor problem, which
has been one of his greatest wor
ries during the present season.
“There was never a time before,”
declared the mining man, “when 1
was not able to get all the men 1
wanted. This year—right now—I
need men and can’t get them.” Mr.
Peterson blames the railroad partly
for the labor situation in the min
ing camps.
After he gets his giants to work
on Livengood, Mr. Peterson plans to
instal a hydraulic outfit in the Kan
tishna, but the plant for that propo
sition has not yet been ordered, and
will not be shipped in probably un
til late next summer.

Red landed on the coast with a
big poke, which is sufficient proof
of a successful season. He firmly
, denies that he is promoting a stock

SAYS NEW CAMP
AT HYDER GOOD
James L. Freebum, manager of
the Chicagoff mine, is firmly con
vinced that a good mining district
will be developed in the Hyder dis
trict. Mr. Freeburn recently visited
the camp at Prince Rupert, and
went over the district with George
JT. Jackson, George Oswell and Jas.
|j. Connor.
“The Premier is no doubt a good
| mine,” said Mr. Freeburn, “and the
| development work thus far done
jwould indicate that other properties
'there will also be developed into
good mines. The mineral deposits
are large, and some of them are
known to be of very high grade.”
Mr. Freeburn says the develop
ment that has been done on the
property of James J. Connor on
Bear creek indicates that there is
every indication that he has a verv
fine property there.
So far the development has been
mostly, on Salmon river, though
there has been enough done on
Bear creek to indicate that it is
also very rich.
The Juneauites who went to Hy
jder, says the Empire, are convinced
:that the field on the American side
I of the line will in time be shown to
have fine mineral deposits.
j
The Juneau mining men who vis
ited Hyder will not say whether or
:not thev will make investments in
the new district, but that they are
all very much interested is freely
admitted.
