ASSAYS RJM IY HIGH
HcKinley Lake Property Making Big Noise Like Real
Quartz Mines—$48.20 to the Ton, According
to Returns From Valdez Experts
After the excellent report made
by Assayer Tanxy on the new ledge
located by J. J. Miller and the Bol
linger brothers, William Wilson was
so eager for news from the samples
of rock sent to C. W. Harrington, the
Valdex assayer, that he cabled the
latter for the result. The return
wire stated that the rock assayed
$48.20 to the ton in gold. That which
was assayed by Mr. Tanzy went
$176.80 and $25.20 to the ton, re
spectively.
Upon the strength of the showing
made Commissioner Tucker bought
an interest this morning from Mr.
Miller, and several others have ex
pressed themselves as being anxious
to get in on the ground floor.
J. J. Miller, who is an old-timer
from Goldfield and other Nevada
I
camps, says it is the best looking
proposition he has seen for a long
time. The ledge is cleverly hidden,
although float boulders from the size
of a man's hand to as large as an
ordinary wagon bed may be found all
along Bear creek, a west fork of Sal
mon river in the McKinley lake dis
trict. About three months ago Mil
ler and Bert Bollinger started out to
hunt the lost cabin of “Red” Ellis,
occupied by the latter about twelve
years ago. They tried to go in from
the Cordova side of the range,
around the glacier, and were un
able to make it. Later Miller went
in from the McKinley lake side. He
followed the float up Bear creek, but
made several trips before he finally
located the ledge. He did not suc
ceed in finding the lost cabin but
James Barclay did, and the latter lo
cated a promising ledge near the
head of Salmon river.
' Mr. Miller, in following the float,
came to a considerable waterfall in
Bear creek and found that above this
a short distance was another falls.
It seems that most of those hunting
for the ledge had looked for it and
lost it above the upper falls. It was
a difficult climb to get to the creek
bed between the two falls, but Mil
ler was repaid by finding a ledge,
well exposed, from which came the
float. He afterwards traced the ledge
4,500 feet and says its trend is east
and west, the same as all of the
ledges in that section. He says one
wall is granite. The quartz is white
with dark stains carrying the gold
and patches of gray here and there.
It is a free milling proposition and
should the ledge carry one-third the
values found in the samples it will
make a noise like a big producer
when fully developed.
In the matter of the vacating of i
the office of United States commis- 1
Bioner at Tiekel Judge Cushman yes
terday signed the following order,
which is eelf-explanatory:
Whereas Archie W. Shieis was
heretofore appointed additional com
missioner and ex-officio justice of the
peace at Tiekel, in Chitina precinct.
Third division, Territory of Alaska,
to serve until November 30, 1910
for the reason that said Tiekel was a
large temporary construction camp
during the construction of the Cop
per River &, Northwestern Railway
at that place and whereas said con
struction has now been completed,
said camp abandoned, and Tiekel
wholly deserted, and whereas Walter
H. Ferguson was and has been at all
the times herein mentioned the regu
larly appointed commissioner, with
all the powers as ex-offcio justice oi
the peace, probate judge, coronet
and recorder for said Chitina pre
cinct, with his office at the town ol
Chitina in said precinct, and, it fur
ther appearing to the court, by rea
son of the absence of said Shieli
from the Territory of Alaska it ap
pearing he will not return until aftei
November 30, 1910, and that th<
right to appeal may be jeopardized
It is therefore ordered and adjudg
ed by the court that the office of jus
tice of the peace so held as afore
said by the said Archie W. Shiels is
hereby declared to be and is, va
cant, for the reasons as above set
' forth, and for none other, and the

directed and requested to immediate
ly take into his custody, care and
control all records and files belong
ing to and a part of the said office
of commissioner and justice of the
peace so held by said Shiels as afore
said, so that the same may be and
become records and files of the said
offices of Walter H. Ferguson, and
jurisdiction to herein determine ap
peals and all other matters pertain
ing to said records which the said
Shiels would have had had he re
mained in office, is hereby conferred
upon the said W. H. Ferguson.
