NOTES
v! ..... JL>
IF. H. Whitney, in charge of opera
tions at the Jewel Gold Mines in the
Hope quartz district states that the
winter work is progressing satisfac
torily and every effort is being made
to have the ground in readiness for
the installation of mining machinery
as early as possible.
Harvey Bartholf, head mill man for
the Little Gem Mining Company, oper
ating the old Mable property in the
Willow creek district, reports the
stamp mills are working satisfac
torily with the gasoline engine power
and the company intends to operate
all winter.
Work is to be resumed on the Alas
ka Homestake Mining Company pro
perty located at Port Wells as soon
as crews can be recruited in the
spring.
The Alaska Homestake is a tree
milling gold ore property in the Port
William sound. The property was op
erated up to the war period, when
excessive costs of operating forced
the property to close. The stock
holders have arranged to finance op
erations again, and it is expected the
property will be producing before the
close of next year.
About $40,000 worth of work has
been done on the property up to the
present time, four tunnels being driv
en have penetrated a rich body of
clialcopyrite and that it is planned
to drive about 23 feet more to de
termine the magnitude of the ore
body. The ore is at an elevation
eliminating the use of a tram and has
a 1,450-foot slope. There are several
buildings on the property and an air
compressor is being installed for
further development. Two sets of]
drills will be installed.
Recent arrivals at Fairbanks ' from
McGrath state that Aitken dredge last
fall had much trouble with big boul
ders, broke a big crankshaft and had
to send a special launch to Bethel
where they had a duplicate shaft
stored.
Mr. Glass, manager of the Flume
Dredge Co., was at McGrath in Au
gust after lumber to build two new
dredges to work on Yankee creek, the
machinery for which was then on its
way up river. I
Mutchler Bros, intend to move the
Greenstone dredge from the Ruby
camp to Gaines creek this winter, and
are probably at it now.
John Beaton, prominent operator
from the interior, arrived from the
north, en route to the states for the
winter. Mr. Beaton has large placer
and dredge interests in the Flat,
Ophir and Iditarod districts and re
ports a fairly successful season. Cost
of operation and labor has materially
cut operation in the interior camps.
The operators, he states, are anxious
ly looking forward to the passage of
the McFadden gold bonus bill and
other required assistance from the
government.
Albert Lind has returend to Sew
ard after a years mushing over for
eign trails. After spending several
months in tne states he visited the
Tfyder camp an 1 from that camp went
to Ketchikan where a boat was built
by Mr. Lind and his two partners for
a trip up the Ohickaloon river. They
reached the head of the river where
the Salmon river glacier forms the di
viding line between that point and the
Hyder country. After spending two
months in this district the party re
turned to Ketchikan. Mfuch prospect
ing was done, a highly mineralized
country was found, but little accom
plished because of the snow. When
asked if he would return to that coun
try Mr. Lind said that as yet he had
not fully made up his mind. The life
of a prospector at all times is a hard
graft but under existing conditions it
is made doubly so. The high price of
supplies of all kinds and the scarcity
of prospectors in the interior make
the venture a gamble. Most of the
old prospectrs have left the interior
camps and are now working along the
coast where the wages paid are suf
ficiently large to enable them to live
comfortably. In the old days when
there were possibly fifty men scat
tered over an area of one hundred
square miles prospecting was a fas
cinating game of chance. The passage
of the gold bonus bill will undoubted
ly stimulate prospecting again, but
until it does pass and the price of
necessary supplies decreases there
will be no great activity along this
line. Mr. Lind who is widely known
throughout Alaska as “Smiling Al
bert” is optimistic as to the future
of Alaska and still thinks that there
are many districts in the territory
that will beeme large producers of
gold when they are properly de
veloped. He will go to Anchorage on
the next train for a visit and may re
turn to Seward at a later date.
Three thousand tons of sulphur will!
be shipped monthly from the Aukon
island, near Unnlaska, sulphur pro- \
perty during the 1921 season. Paul
Buckley, general manager of the com
pany, is in Seattle to close negotia
tions for a shipping board vessel to
transport the sulphur from the mines
in Alaska to Seattle.
The Aukon island sulphur deposits
were located three years 2ago by
Buckley. Last season development
work and improvements estimated at
$300,000 resulted in the property be
ing ready to ship in the spring. Wil
liam Wallace Johnson, president ol
the company, is in Seattle from Chi
cago to confer with Buckley.
The smelter at Aukon iB now near
ing completion, and with the deposit
running better than fifty per cent
sulphur it is planned to continue the
open cut work so that steam shovels
will be able to quarry out the rich
deposit.
This is not the time of the year to
swimming. But skiis are in season.
