Geo E. Baldwin returned from
Valdez last night. He went over to
sign final papers on behalf of the
Midas Copper Company for the trans
fer of valuable holdings on Solmon
Gulch to the Alaska Syndicate. The
later, through Stephen Birch, recent
ly took over the property and put a
force of men to work.
Mr. Baldwin says that the property
consits of 12 copper claims, original
ly located by Charles Debney. who
subsequently bonded them to Sandy
Carson for $25,000, who, in turn,
bonded it to the present holding
company for $00,000. Jeff Devin
ney, Al. Grigsby, William Wilson.
George Treat, John Feinbloom and,
Geo. Baldwin, as a partners began
work on the property and ran 300
feet of tunnel, 70 feet of cross-cuts
anh 75 feet of upraises, working all
the time in the ore. A shipment of
ore was made to the Tacoma smelter,
showing a copper value of 9 and 1-2
per cent, and a gold value of $5 per
ton.
The properties are located about
four and half miles back from the
bay, near Valdez, at an elevation of
800 feet above tide water. A splen- j
did water power exists on the com- |
pany's grounds, but it is understood
that the Syndicate will for the time
being avail themselves of power ob
tained from the power plant at the
mouth of Solomon Gulch
It is the intention of the new
holders to expend$300,000 in devel
opment work, machinery, tramway,
wharf and bunkers before a pound of
ore is shipped. Frank Stone has
been put in as foreman and has a
force of men working with him. A
diamond drill , compreesors and i
other machinery will be installed at j
once when the working force will be
augmented as fast the opening of
the property justifies. It is ex
pected during the coming winter at
least 40 hien will find employment
at the works, and in the spring when
the tram and bunkers are being in
stalled and built this force will be
largely augmented.
