MOOSE JOHNSON AND HIS
PARTNER DEVELOPING MINE
Moose Johnson and his partner,
Harry Wirtz, of Chulitna, have been
developing their mine and have at
last made a deal with Bartley How
ard on a royalty basis. This mine is
said to be a big thing for the Alaska
Railroad and the public in general, as
it will mean a heavy tonnage and also
work for a large number of men. The
quartz porphyry dyke has been trac
ed for a quarter of a mile and shows
good values. Mr. Johnson and Mr.
Wertz, with the help of neighbors,
put in a good raft ferry across Port
age creek and just above the Wertz
ruby silver mine. This will be a big
help to the prospector within this
district.
The Gateway recently printed a new
lot of quartz location notices for the
Seward News Co. These are the lat
est form and are adapted to Alaskan
needs.
Work on the new cutoff at Mile 3.5
is progressing steadily. The grade
over the railroad track is nearing
completion and considerable swamp
ing and grubbing has been done.
Guides from Skilak and Kenai lakes
report an unusually large number of
young moose this season. Ptarmigan
and grouse are also reported plenti
ful.
