FERN MINE ORE
GROWING RICHER

Development of New Ore Body on the
Lower Level Is Most Important
In the Mine Work
“Development work has proven to
our satisfaction that the ore body in
the Fern mine is not only increasing
in size but growing richer in depth,”
stated Jerome Drumheller, prominent
Spokane mining man, who with asso
ciates is the owner of the Willow
Creek property, from which such fine
reports have been emanating recently.
Mr. Drumheller was in Seward for two
days the first of the week while wait
ing the departure of the steamer
Northwestern for Seattle, en route to
hik Spokane office after spending four
months on his property, two months
longer than he had anticipated.
Spend Quarter of a Million
Continuing Mr. Drumheller stated:
“The company thus far has expended
one-quarter of a million dollars in
developing this property, including
the building of the mill and other
improvements outside of the mine
proper. It is now the plan of the
company to increase the size of the
j

is made of genuine n native
Tasmanian Iridium which costs
over three times as // much as the
iridium used in / / ordinary
fountain pen/ / points. That’s
why the Parker II Duofold is
called the 25- / / year point.
That’s why it /f/ is the cheapest
penonearth /Jf at $7 — because its
usefulness is everlasting.

Company Enlarging Holdings
“The company has been enlarging
its holdings recently and we also have
in mind running another crosscut tun
nel, which will add several hundred
feet this coming winter. The water
power system has been completed and
is developing 250 horsepower. The
installation of the Pelton waterwheel
is estimated as having saved the com
pany $40 a day against the former
operation of a diesel engine.”
New Ore Body Opened
The company has recently opened
up a new ore body on the lower level,
Mr. Drumheller stated, 240 feet in
length and from four to 12 feet in
width. An upraise on the ore body of
240 feet from the lower tunnel and
numerous other raises have been
made, and are at present being driv
en. Development progress has been
made for 800 feet on the vein. A?
present a winze is being sunk from
the lower tunnel on the ore body to
a depth of 52 feet. The average value
of the ore in this winze is approxi
mately $98 per ton. The vein is from
four to seven feet in width at this
depth. This development is regarded
as the most important in the mine as
it is the deepest, Mr. Drumheller de
clared.
The 30 ton stamp mill is operating
day and night on ore encountered
from development work without stop
ping for reserves.
Development work has been under
way at the Fern mine for the last
eight years and at the present time
there are 28 men employd at the mine.
New Manager on Job.
The announcement is made by Mr.
Drumheller that George L. Thompson,
mining engineer recently associated
with the Miner C. Keith company of
New York has been selected as man
ager of the Fern mine. Mr. Thomp
son severed his connections with the

convinced him it was a splendid look

DOES NOT FEAR
OUTCOME OF CASE
SAYS R. J. DAVIS
AVIATOR DAVIS STATES HIS AR
REST IS A CASE OF MIS
TAKEN IDENTITY.
Warrant from Portland, Ore.
sonating An Officer with Intent
To Defraud.
Under a warrant issued at Port
land, Oregan, R. J. Davis, aviator,
who recently brought the Curtis
seaplane to Seward, was arrested at
Seldovia last week and brought to
Seward on the steamer Redondo and
is at present lodged in the federal
jail. Mr. Davis is charged, according
to the local U. S. Marshal’s office
with violating Section No. 32, of the
Federal code, which pertains to im
personating an officer with intent to
defraud. Bonds have been placed at
$2,500. The statement of Mr. Davis
was taken yesterday by a department
of justice operator.
In an interview granted the Sew
ard Gateway reporter this morning,
Mr. Davis stated: “I have no fear
of the outcome for it is a case of
mistaken identity. As I understand
it, the department of justice expects
to prove my identity from a reput
ed photograph of myself taken in
1914. This cannot be done. I check
ed back yesterday with the depart
ment of justice man and gave him
from 20 to 30 names, witnesses, to
bear out my statements in connec
tion with the Portland charge. I am
confident the Tacoma doctor who
brought the charges about, will re
pudiate his statement, if he is brot
to Seward to identify me, for I have
never met the doctor in question.
“In the meantime, I hope the lo
cal citizens will withhold censure.
The airplane service which I am es
tablishing at this port, will go ahead
just the same. The plane which
was smashed was really too small
and the new one to go in service will
be considerably larger.
"We met our first trouble at Ket
chikan, while en route to Seward,
for upon our arrival at that port the
marshal had received instructions
to search us, and the seaplane, in
an effort to locate the sum of $50,000
in currency which, it was reported,
had been stolen from a Vancouver,
B. C. banker. I trust this matter
will be straightened out very short
ly.”
