I -11 1 I 1 1 1 M l 1 1 1 I 1 I I I 1 I 1 I I I H f I PERMANENT MINES OF THE NORTH ' Judge Wiun, of Juneau, Alnska, in ! the vicinity of which city arc now I some of the largest stamp mills in the '? world, says that there has been enough 1 ore prospected and proved in the dis ,l trlct to keep all of the present mills, | great as tlxey are, in operation for a ' hundred years. He thinks, and thinks > rightly, that such a showing as this is convincing proof that Juneau is to be 1 a permanent city, with prospects of becoming even a great one. The same number of this newspaper which contains this interview with Judge Winn also has a story from a correspondent at Soward, Alnska, of I a recont Quartz discovery by prospec tors in the Cache creek district of the Susitna of a quartz ledge of extraor dinary richness, some large samples of which have been taken out. In the vicinity of Seward there are I1 several small mills at work on ledges which have been uncovered and which are producing handsomely. It is ex pected that some at least cf these j properties will earn enough with their | present small equipment to be devel 1 oped to large proportions without re ! quiring the investment of more capl ! tal. All of these things show conclusive ! ly that the real mining resources of I | Alaska are hardly touched with the op ening of the new placer fields. Placer mines are worked out within a rela tively brief period of time. Hard rock mining is a matter of many years, oven of generations. The real mining development of Al aska on a permanent basis is but com mencing. With a railroad or two to open up the interior and bring transporta tion charges down to the point that ma chinery and supplies can be taken in readily, the quartz mines of Alaska will give employment, and permanent , employment, to many times the num i ber of men that the placer camps ever used during their periods of greatest boom. And there will be many new placer camps opened in that Territory in the future, as well as quartz prop erties.?Seattle Post-Intelligencer. ! C. K. FORNER FAVORS SEA WALL FOR JUNEAU , JUNEAU. Jan. 14?To the Editor: ? A concrete wall should be built along the channel Bide of the city's water-: front and filled in with earth or tail ings. . This could be done without In terference to traffic. The surface should be macadamized, or which is preferable, either finished with asphal tum or laid with brick, to meet the de mands for a permanent embarcadero. Very truly yours, C. K. FORNER.
