Quince Fish, ondl of the best known prospectors of the (dis trict, lias relumed I'rifln Portage bay and reports that he and his partners have made an important find there. The others who are interested with him are Phil Col lins and (leorge Berry. Mr. Fish is elated over the find and believes it will prove to be one of the biggest mines in Alas ka when opened up. He says the ledge is from four to six feet wide and shows on the surface for more than four thousand feet. Samples which he has had as sayed gave return's running from $1!) to $77. These were from the surface, and samples taken from the hundreds of tons of 'quart/ which had been mined by the elements and glaciers in past ages, all show a liberal amount of gold when panned. The prospect was recently vis ited by a representative .of tin* geological department, wlm is now making an inspection of the Port Wells district, and lie as sured Mr. Fish that lie undould idlv had made a liinl of merit and one which would prove to lie a mine second to none in Alaska if surface indications could lie re lied upon. Mr. Fish is an experienced miner and for years was con nected with the Treadwell mine at Juneau, and should know the value of a prospect. He is satis lied lie has struck something which will bring him the for tune for which he has lieetn look ing. The claims are on the right side of Portage hay going in and 'about live miles from the head of the bay. BASE BALL SCORES. Wednesday, September 17. It* I 3. National League.
