SHELIKOF STRAIT
TO BE DEVELOPED
WILL BE SCENE OF ACITVITY IN
SPRING WHEN MACHINERY
IS SENT IN
KODIAK, Oct.. 7, (Special to the
c Gateway)—Mining takes another
spurt to the Westward with the an
nouncement of Z. T. “Frank” Haf- j
erty, former U. S. Commissioner
and postmaster of Kodiak that 1
funds are available for the opening
up of his copper properties at Cape
Kuliak between Katmai and Cape
Douglas on the peninsula side of
Shelikof Strait. Machinery will be
installed in the spring and tonnage
developed from the five leads that
have been shown up oh this j
ground where Haferty put in over
5G0 feet of tunnel work several
years ago.
With the advance in the price of:
copper the Kuliak veins become of J
extreme importance. The biggest
ledge shows seven percent copper
across a face of 11 feet at a depth
of 150 feet. The claims of which
there are 15, in a group, are located
about three-quarters of a mile from
tide water with a'fine grade for
^ aerial tramway or surface cars, and
according to Judge Ha»lferty the
funds are available to provide the
equipment to do further blocking |
and take out the ore. In addition j
to copper the ore runs high in sil
ver and gold content.
Judge Haferty is known in many
parts of Alaska, having gone into
the Atlin country in 1897. He was
at Liauta Bay mining in 1898 and
subsequently had the Taku road
house on the old Valdez trail. As a
practical miner he was one of the
first to recommend the Engineer
mine at Taku and has long held
his faith that there are big mineral
deposits to the Westward waiting
1 r development. “We are just be
.. inning to see the dawn of a new
mining era in Alaska,” he said,
• and the funny part of it is, it will
't come in this long neglected area
along the islands and the peninsula
* of the Westward.”
