NEAR MINERAL CREEK
(Valdez News-Miner >
Three hundred feet below the J
surface. 10 inches of solid quartz!
carrying values in free gold so
high that a guess of anywhere
from $5,000 per ton up would not
be an exaggeration—ore so rich
that no assay is necessary to dem
onstrate that there is a fortune
in sight—ore in which the glitter,
ing yellow metal is everywhere ap
parent in size from small flakes
to veritable nuggets. This is the
news brought to town last Sunday
evening by T. J. Devenney when
he returned from the property
near Mineral Creek, owned by him
and W. A. Dolan, and on which
they have been doing develop
ment work for more than two
years, and he brought with him
a sack of ore that bears out all
his assertions.
A single shot has dissipated all
fears as to whether or not the
ore goes down in the mine or
whether the values are main
tained, said Mr. Devenney, for
there is the vein, wider, and rich
er than on the surface. There is
no longer any question but that

we have a mine, and in that mine
a stake that will provide us with
all that we require for the re
mainder of our lives—a mine that
will give a big boost to the Val
dez mining district.
The Devenney.Dolan claims are j
situated a short, distance below \
the mouth of Mineral Creek, on j
the north side of Valdez Bay, and
are not over five miles from the
town of Valdez. They are ideally
located, in that they are but a
short distance from the shore, af
fording economical transportation
of machinery and supplies. A lit
tle over two years ago develop
ment work was started on the
property by driving an adit to tan
a rich surface showing at about
100 feet depth. This adit was
driven until the pay shoot was
rt ached and penetrated for <
short distance. Another adit was
driven to tap the payshoct at a
depth of approximately 200 feet.
Again the shoot was found, and
the samples brought out demon
started the various continued j
downward.
i Still another adit was started,;
j with the object of striking the j
shoot at a depth of 300 fee or ‘
1 more. A short time ago Mr. Dev-:
i enney, using the last of the pow
; der he had on hand, put in a
1 short round of holes in the breast
of the tunnel, and on arrival here
announced that he had reached
the object of his quest.
Returning to the property with
supplies a short time later, he put
in a round of shots which veri.
| fied his earlier statement, for it
broke into ore that is rich beyond j
I even his fondest hopes and he j
came to town to break the good .
news to his partner.
How extensive uie paysuwi
Mr. Devenney is uncertain. On
! the surface it shows for a con
! siderable distance, and the pre
: sumption is in view of the results
so far obtained, that it is at least
1 as extensive at the 300-foot level
as it is on the surface.
While generally the ore and the
formation in which it is located is
fairly typical of the numerous
i gold lodes in the district contigu
ous, it varies in some respects, the
rock being harder, and so far as
known, it is the only lode in this
1 vicinity carrying what is known
as crystallized gold. So far, also,
there has been shown no particu
lar enrichment on either wall nor
in the seams, the gold being gen
erally dissecinated throughout the
quartz.
The vein is a true fissure, with
well defined walls, indicating that
j the ore body may go to great
i depth. ,
In driving the several tunnels,
particularly the two upper ones, a
fairly close account of the aver
| age values, outside of the pay
shoot. was kept and a number of
A MESSAGE
In this message to our out-of- town
friends let us tell you about a little
Portable Electric Light and Potver Plant
called HOMELIGHT for which we are
agents for in Alaska. This little plant
barns only one gallon of gas or coal
oil in four hours; will generate 600
watts; will light a 10-room house and
will operate portable tools, hammers,
etc., and costs but $225. This is but
one item of our hardware department
which is now complete with a full
line of shelf and heavy hardware, oils
and paints, and ship chandery.
In our gtocery department we carry nothing but the best
grades, specializing in S & W Products. Our Butter and

sent for assay were selected to
the extent that any sample show
ng free gold was rejected, yet the
general result was. on the aver
age, above $20 per ton. In the
lower tunnel the ore has been
tested from time to tim by pul
verizing and panning’, and at no
time has this yielded a blank.
Mr- Devenney is of the opinion
that the ore, particularly from
the portal in for a distance, is
not so rich as that above, but
this is accaunted for by the fact
that it Is considerably farther re
moved from the payshoot than in
the two upper tunnels. However,
I it is probable that all of the ore
! outside of the payshoot can be
milled at a handsome profit.
| Mr. Devenney will leave shortly
j for the property and will continue
I driving in on the payshoot to as
| certain Its extent, and as soon as
| this has been determined, plans
i will be made to install a mill on
ithe property.
