NUMBER 203 SEWARD, ALASKA, TUESDAY, AUGUST 18- 1925_ PRICE TEN CENTS
SLUICE BOXES
BEING USED ON
QUARTZGROUND
CHECHAKO AND COPENHAGEN
CLAIMS APPEAR TO BE AMONG
RICHEST IN THE DISTRICT.
Four People Owners
TUNNEL WORK JUST STARTING
ON BEACH AND ON HILLSIDE—
SEVENTY-FIVE LEADS ON THE
GROUND.
So decomposed is the quartz ore
ledge on one of the eight claims of
the Chechako and Copenhagen group
* at Nuka Bay, owned jointly by Mr.
and Mrs. Alfred Rosness, John Gilles
pie and Mrs. Josie Emswiler, that 40
feet of sluice boxes with four riffles,
were set up some time ago for Mrs.
Rosness, who has been shoveling in
from time to time, when not engaged
on the beach picking up small nug
gets of gold imbedded in the loose
rock. As a result of her gold min
ing activities, Mrs. Rosness has a
good-sized bottle filled with the fil
thy lucre and many fine looking spec
imens of quartz. No need to bring
* out the miners magnifying glass on
this claim for with the naked eye can
be seen the raw gold sticking out in
profusion.
4 Five Leads on Beach
The property, which is located on
the west 3hore of the North Arm of
Nuka Bay, was staked" a year ago,
August 27th. It consists of high
grade ore and was considered until
two weeks ago—when Captain Smith
announced his discovery of a high
grade quartz body—to be the most
promising property in the region. Un
til an analysis is made of the Smith
Blair-Sather claim is made, it is
doubtful which ground runs the high
* est, for several pans from the newly
discovered ground reveal it to be ex
ceptionally rich. There are five
leads on the Chechako and Copen
hagen claims, it is stated by the own
ers. They have yet another lead, a
mile back from the beach in a deep
canyon.
To Begin Tunneling At Once
Tunneling has just started on two
of the five foot leads from the beach,
and on the other veins stripping has
been done for a considerable distance
back from discovery. At one point
q #on the beach, where the outcropping
runs to the water’s edge, it is estimat
ed nearly $200 has been panned out.
This lead has a five foot face and
has been traced back up the hill for
1500 feet.
At an elevation of approximately
four hundred feet back, off the beach
about two hundred yards, another tun
nel has been started. Below this a
shelf in the steep hillside has been
dug out in preparation for an ore
chute. Several other holes have been
dug in the hill following the string
er. On the beach the work of tun
neling has progressed for but a few
feet, the owners having thus far just
begun to cut back off the beach into
the vein.
Developing Chechako Claims
All work at the present time is be
ing concentrated on the Chechako
- group of claims, which number six,
however some development has been
r done, and will continue on the Cop
enhagen group, two claims, which ad
join the Chechako group. On the
original Copenhagen the lead is esti
mated at two feet in width and has
been traced back for at least one hun
dred feet. The owners expect later
to build a high platform over the
water, against the face of a small
cliff, where the tunneling will begin.
Every lead on all the claims has been
well represented in work accomplish
** It is stated there is an iron
dyke running through the property
.over thirty feet in width.
Ample Water Power
On the Copenhagen, claims there is
a heavy stream flowing, coming from
high in the mountains and ending
near the beach with a high fall of
w'ater. It is confidently expected by
the owners of these claims that when
the properties are developed they
will prove to be among the richest
of the district. Massive spruce trees
cover the entire ground, some of
wrhich are seven feet in width and
over 200 feet high. The camp site is
unexcelled, being located back from
a half-moon or crescent-shaped gravel
beach, with a fresh water stream
running next to the cook house. In
all there are three tents on the
ground, two of them used for sleep
ing quarters and the other the mess
tent and blacksmith shop. Ap
proaching the camp from down the
bay one sees from a distance the
stars and stripes sturdily flying in the
breeze from a staff which has been
erected back from the shore line.
The owners of the ground may stay
all winter, it was stated last week,
but Mrs. Rosness, when berry season
is over, will move back to Seward.
CONVICTS RAID
POOL HALL AND
TAKE PRISONER
MURRAY WRITES STATEMENT
TELLING OF JAIL BREAK AND
SAYS HE KILLED GUARDS
PORTLAND, Or., Aug. 18 (£>)—'The
three convicts who escaped from the
Salem penitentiary last Wednesday,
left their automobile at Tenth and
Washington at 7:30 last night. The
men raided a pool hall at Monitor
yesterday morning and took along
four card players, later driving to the
summer home of C. L. Newman, of
Berkeley, California, having the card
players with them. Newman watch
ed Murray write a statement which
the three convicts signed with their
finger prints. The statement which
was addressed to the press, said:
“It was our intention to pull a
break; just a stickup, and getting the
guns from the turnkey force him to
walk ahead and open the gates or go
through the tower. As I entered the
turnkey’s office, Dalrymple and two
guards came out. The warden made
no effort to stop me, but tried to get
away. In the turnkey’s office was
Slaughter, House, Davidson and the
turnkey. I knocked Davidson down
with my fist, and Jones rushed in un- '
armed and knocked thei turnkey down
with his fist instead of letting him
open the guncase. Jones and I ob
tained arms, and rushing into the yard
saw' Kelly and Willows standing cov
ered by guards along the fence. Pete
White, a guard, was standing awrny
from the convicts. This was the only
thing that kept the guards from shoot
ing. We threw guns on Willows and
Kelly and the guards ran for cover. I
shot the guard in Towner One, and
Willos shot Holman. I shot Savage
because he would not wralk in front
of us as wre left the prison yard. Jones
finished Holman. We left Jones wound
ed by the wall.”
At 5:30 in thei evening the fugitives
took one of the card players and
Newman’s son, and drove to Port
land, holding two rifles against the
boy and keeping the man in the back
seat betwreen them.
The sheriff’s office and the city po
lice are combing the city for the men
who are expected to resist arrest.
