Mine Will Reopen
The planned opening of the
Hirst-Chichagof gold mine this
winter will make it Alaska’s first
hardrock mine to open since war
time closing. Only the fact that
the mine has high - grade ore
makes possible its reopening now.
The high-grade ore in the Hirst
Chichagof mine is most unusual,
yielding $45 per ton of rock.
Total production of the mine to
date is $22,300,000, with total divi
dends of $11,000,000.
The mine is expected to pro
duce about 50 tons of ore a day;
the gold in it will be reclaimed
by crushing, amalgamation and
flotation.
