DOZET FINDS PROMISING ORE
CLOSE TO THE RAILROAD
While hunting in tile hills back
of Healy recently, Louis Dozet, for
some time past engaged in siation
work along- the Government rail
road. came across several outcrop
pings of quartz of such attractive
appearance that he gathered several
samples of the rock and sent them
to the Bureau of Mines Station at
Fairbanks for tests.
The samples were taken from
three places where the ledge was
exposed and the tests disclosed the
presence of copper, galena, zinc and
gold- There is a large body of the
quartz in sight and it is so close
to the Government railroad, being
only about six miles from Healy,
that Dozet plans to begin develop
ment work at an early date to as
certain the extent and ri.hness of
his find.
