RICII STRIKE
'Copper King Miue Shows
Spleii lid Developments
Quartz Kin? Foster, of Dawson, who
has been at Whitehorst for 10 days and
who inspected the Whitehorse quartz
properties, upon being Interviewed con
cerning the great strike made in the
copper mines at that place, says that an
eigbt-inch vein of ore in the Copper
King has been struck that will run
from JAW to *5000 per te n in free gold.
In speaking of it he said:
"The gold in this rock is plainly visi
ble in nuggets sprinkled all through
the quartz.
"This discovery, however, pales into
insignificance when we stop to consider
that the true fissure vein of rich born
ite and tremolite copper in this Copper
King mine has broadened out to 30 feet
in width at about the 100-foot level,
having more than doubled its width
and valus in sinking a hundred feet be
low the surface croppings. A steam
pumping plant has just been installed
and a contract let to sink to the 200
foot level. Work is now progressing
dav and night.
H1UU GRADE COPPER.
"Several hundreds of tons of ore have
been shipped from the Copi>er King
and have paid large dividends, even in
face of the fact that it costs from $l.'> to
ii'O per ton to mine and ship the ore
and smelt it.
"The Tyee Smelting Company have
an Agent at Whitehorse i>urchasing
and shipping copper ore to their smelt- '
er in British Columbia, a distance of
1WX) miles by rail and steamer.
"Some of the Whitehorse copper
yields a profit of *S0 per ton above all
mining, freighting and smelt irg
charges.
"I was fortunate enough to secure
two copper c'aims under a lease, while
at Whitehorse, and staked a claim mv- .
self.
"Hundreds of opportunities to secure
claims by staking and leasing are 0[>en
to men with capital at the present time, '
but I would not advise any |>oor man to
stampede iiito the country. If he takes
my advice he will stay out of there till
the country is more fully developed,
and more mines working to give him '
employment. It is not only a curse to |
the camp, but a curse to the stam|>eder
himself to blanket a country by staking
and recording without tl.e necessary
money and nerve to spend it in opeuing
up the ground."
