Gold Bearing: Rock Crushed on Douglas Island, Alaska, Equal to
That of Any Mining District in the World—Oregon and Wash
ington Lead in the Production of Wool
- The Greatest Mines In the World.
More gold-bearing rock is v being
crushed on Douglas island, Alaska,
than ■■ in ?an equal -■ area in 3 any other
country, in the-world." > ■:■:: % ; ;k i :v
The Treadwell and allied companies
now have 880 i stamps set ups4o on
the Treadwell, 120 on the ; Mexican,
100 on the Union and 120 on the Ready
Bui lino—and the engineers will soon
turn over; the mills to the companies
as completed. These mills will easily
crush 2,600 tons of ore a day. Ido
not I believe | there is § any place in the
world, South Africa, Australia, or any
where else, where so much rock is be
ing crushed on so ■* small a spa.cc of
ground. ..The^Treadwell now | has [ 8,
--000,000 * tons lof ore 7in sight The
Ready Bullion 'promises to equal -the
Treadwell in the amount ot its produc
tion. AH the dirt has been sluiced oft
it and it has „ been - traced ■ for 300 feet
along the beach and 600 to 700 feet
along the hill. It is from 80 to 100
feet wide on the surface, and is in the
contact between greenstone and slate,
as are all the Douglass island ledges,
the ore being of the same character as
the Tread well. The shaft is down 650
feet under Gastineau channel and the
ledge has there widened .. out | to; over
200 feet and carries from $12 to $14 in
gold throughout." ~ _ ;^v
The Ebner |is erecting jj a Y new ] 20
--atamp mill in the gulch leading up . to
Sliver Bow basin, and is about to start
a tunnel : from that level which will
tap,its ledge at great ; depth. | Further
up the same gulch the Alaska-Juneau
Company has 30 stamps at work on the
ore from a great open quarry of slate
full of veins |of quartz carying free
gold. They simply quarry out the
whole mass, sort out the quartz and
send it.to the mill and throw the slate
over the dump. , : 3
Berners bay is keeping up its repu
tation, the Ophir, Northern Belle,
Bald Ea:»le and Seward all having
their mills in operation. Judge Mel
len, who represents an Indiana Com
pany, and who successfully opened up
the Jualin, is now developing the
Ivanhoe, over the \ ridge between - the
Jualin and the .Comet, and has about
completed a 20-stamp mill. The Jualin
has turned out $10,000 or $12,000 a
month since it started. Milo Kelly
has some very good claims in the Bern
ers bay district, showing free-milling
ore, and is working them. :. Montana
creek, which runs into Linn canal be
tween Berners bay and Juneau, is com
ing; to the front. The f placers were
worked in the early days, and now the
Early is working in very rich ore and
running a five-stamp mill. The first
clean-up wasj very satisfactory. The
Boston & Alaska Company| is sinking
a shaft on the Funters bay mine.
- Wool. Clip of the Country. :.
The annual estimate of the wool clip
of the United States for 1898 made by
Secretary North of the s National Asso
ciation oi t Wool Manufacturers, and
which is to be published in its No
vember bulletin, shows the amount to
have been 266,720,684 pounds, against
369,168,251 pounds in 1897. ty^>v»itj : :;
Oregon:, shows, according to - the sta
tistics, the largest yield, 21,291,887

Colorado, 9,968,869; and Michigan,
8,856,122 J pounds. The amount of
pulled wool is estimated at 22,116,871
pounds, making a total of 266,720,684
pounds washed or unwashed, or 111,
--661,581 pounds of scoured wool. The

Catting Timber on Public Land*.
The attention of those engaged in
mining is called to the following pro*
visions of the law pertaining to the cut
ting of timber on publio lands: "No
persons shall be permitted to fell or re
move any growing tree of any kind
whatsoever less than eight inohes in
diameter. This will not be regarded
as applicable to black or 'lodge pine'
growing in separate bunches along min
eral lands. Persons felling or removing
timber from public mineral lands of
the United States mast utilize all of
each tree oat that can profitably be
used, and mast oat and remove the top
and brush and dispose of the same in
sach manner as to prevent the spread of
forest fires." The penalty for such vio
lation is in a sum not exceeding f 500,
or imprisonment not exceeding 60 days,
01 both.
November Shipping.
R. P. Rithet & Co. have the follow
ing to say regarding shippinsg business
in their monthly circular for November.
"The past three weeks have brought
about a very decided change for the
better in grain freights, although there
has been comparatively nothing doing
from San Franoisco. The balk of the
season's shipments will undoubtedly
be made from Oregon, and it appears
likely that Washington will come next,
the yield of California grain being
small in consequence of the drought.
The increased activity has tended to
harden heights, but on the whole
changes during the month have been
unimportant and the demand scarcely
as great as previously.
New California Industry.
Bakersfield is not distinguished as
being the only place in America where
Fuller's earth is reduced from the raw
material to a merchantable article.
An unlimited deposit was found on
Poso oreek and a mill for grinding and
bolting the earth has been erected and
is now running. The process of reduc
tion consists of running the lumps of
day, the size of hickory nuts, through
the hopper and bolter, which turn it
oat in the form of fine flour. The man
ufaoture of this earth on the coast will
result in a great saving to the cloth
mills.
New Steamer Line on the Pacific.
Direct communication between South
Amerioan markets and San Francisco
will soon be established by one of the
largest French steamship companies.
The Cbargeurs Reunis will start a
monthly service next March between
San Francisco and Liverpool, which
will make stoppages at Mazatlan, Aca
pulco. Guayaquil, Callao, Peru; Val
paraiso, Chile, Monteviedo, Uruguay;
Santos, Brazil; Liverpool, Havre and
possibly a Belgian port. The company
has been organized and operated since
1872, and is now having constructed
three 6,000-tons additional steamers
for the aPcifio trade.
Miller*' War on the Sound.
The grocers in Seattle and Taooma
are making a run on flour, taking ad*
vantage of the rivalry between Tacoma
and Seattle mill men. The conditions
are peculiar. The Washington wheat
grower wants 50-cent wheat, while the
miller is only getting $3.40 for his
ground product. To grind wheat that
costs 50 cents, add the freight, and
then sell it at $8.40 means something
of a loss.
Another Beet-Sugar Project.
A party owning 12,000 acres of suit*
able land for sugar-beet raising near
Idaho Falls, Idaho, has returned to
that place from a visit to the beet sugar
factories in the United States and Ger
many. The soil and climate being
suited to the cultivation of beets, Chi
cago capital thinks favorably of estab
lishing a sugar factory at Idaho Falls.
Oood Market for Potatoes.
The yield of potatoes in the Spokane
country this year was less than half
the amount of last fall, owing to the
hot weather experienced last summer.
The price there is from 85 to 90 cents,
while on the coast potatoes are sell
ing at 65 cents. The Oregon crop is
said to be good this year and the price
is expected to to reach $IJK> by next
spring.
Woolen Mills Improvement.
H is stated that a large manufactur
ing establishment for making wearing
apparel will be added to The Dalles.
Or., Woolen Mill Company's plant. A
new iron and brick picking-room is be
ing built, and a scheme for electric
lighting is being planned.
New Broom Factory Started.
Another factory has been added to
the smokestack town of Everett, Wash.
The first lot of brooms were turned out
last week from the Everett broom fac
tory, owned by Fiederick Hallin. The
brooms are meeting with great favor
with the retailers.
The market for horses and mules is
•gain on the rise. A California bnyer
was in Morrow county recently looking
for draught animals, and offering good
prices lor such at suited him. <
Blue grouse are reported as becoming
very scarce in the mountains, one
theorist explaining the fact as the out
come of the introduction of the thous
ands of sheep into the breeding ground!
of the birds, the sheep are laid to
trample upon the eggs and young birds.
