REGIONS ARE BEING OPEN El
UP; COUNTRY CALLS FOR
MORE PROSPECTORS
Editor’s Note:—The following ar
ticle, from the Cordova Times or
the outlook for the Interior region
from Cordova was prepared by an
Alaskan who is thoroughly familial
with conditions and probably more
conversant with this section of the
country than any other one man
His article, conservative to the ex
treme. indicates a bright future foi
the country, and points to the road
of prosperity for those who go back
into the hills.
The Copper River Valley is look
ing more promising than it has for
many years. The strike of Chick
Nelson on the Chittistone is the
best looking prospect since the
Bonanza was located. The show
ing of the ore body on the surface
is wide, and consists of copper
glance, a dark colored sulphide
with a brilliant metalie luster.
The Kennecott Corporation has
an option on Nelson’s locations,
and it has made additional loca
tions. Twelve men are employed on
the property. Considerable strip
ping has been done, and two tun
nels are being driven. High grade
ore is being sacked and if every
thing goes well, we need not be sur
prised if a shipment of Chittistone
high grade goes thru Cordova after
the freezeup when the ore can be
freighted to McCarthy.
There is only one question; if
ore body has depth the Chittistone
is going to be a long lived high
grade camp. The history of the
kind of ore up the valley indicates
depth. Unless the Nelson discov

r y runs counter to all previous ex
1 ■ ences in copper mining up the
river, there is every reason to be
lieve that this ore body will go
down. There have been many other
locations near and around the Nel
, | son discovery.
O. A. Nelson of Chitina, and as
, sociates have taken an option on
I the gold placer benches of Cliff
jCayouette, situated on Dan Creek,
1! also on Cayouette’s cmfwyshrdu
Copper creek, which is a tributary
of Dan creek; but it has a different
wash than Dan creek. The ground
is deep and wet. It has been pros
pected for years, but in spite of the
sinking of many holes and the use
of powerful pumps bedrock has not
been reached. The optionees plan
l to place a drill on this creek, and
the men who spent years in the
upper country are awaiting with
interest the outcome of the drilling
operations. The wash on this creek
is smaller than the other Nizina
placer creeks, and it is the expecta
tion of many that when bedrock is
reached within the flood plane
runner creek will turn out a win
ner.
The showing of the Galena Bay
Mining Co., on the Kotsina, under
the option of Hurlock, is excellent.
The ore is much higher grade than
the coast ore. It is mostly bornite
thus far. The work heretofore done,
however, indicates that further de
velopment will result in uncovering
large bodies of glance and covellite,
jthe last named ore being named
after Covelli, the discoverer, and is
a native sulphide of copper occurr
ing in masses of a dark blue color;
it is also called indigo copper. The
unfortunate ceasing of develop
Iment of this ground on the Kotsina
has probably delayed for a time the
I opening of a great mine. However,
all clouds seem to have passed
away, and it is confidently expect
ed that development on these
claims is about to be resumed on an
extensive scale. One phase, among
others, favorable to the Hurlock
property, is the comparatively short
haul to the coast.
The placer ground of the Nizina
camp—Chititu, Rex Gulch and Dan
Creek—have been producers for 25
| years, and they will not be worked
out for many years to come.
The Green Butte, situated on Mc
Carthy Creek, which sacked and
shipped high grade of the value of
$250,000 in the ordinary course of
! development, will resume opera

I SEEKING 11 FROM
HER if IN ALASKA
KODIAK. Sept., 3, (Special
to the Gateway)—Although it
should properly be in the Gate
way column of the ‘‘Port of Miss
ing Men,” the following letter
from Mrs. Katherine Tuthill, a
widow at 3215 Sixty-first avenue,
Oakland, California'* to Postmis
tress White at Kodiak seems wor
thy of special mention, not only
from the fact that airplanes do
not hop off every day from Oak
land for Kodiak and from the
further fact that Kodiak has not
and never has had a gold dred
ger in all its 136 years of exis
tence. The letter follows:
‘‘Two months ago I sent a few
letters to my son, Dan Tuthill,

Have these letters been picked
