Mining Prospects.

The past summer has witnessed great
mineral finds in the vicinity of our town
Of Wrangel and future developments
will open vast treasures to the world.
From Portland canal on the south, to
Mount ST. Elias on the north, dis
lance OF over 400 miles along the coast
of Southeastern Alaska, vast mountains
of gold, silver and copper exist, which
only needs the magic touch of capital
to pour their mineral wealth into the
channels of trade and commerce.
Among the latest discoveries made is
large body of copper and gold ore
found by Mr.. Edward Baker on Copper
mountain, Prince of Wales island, who
was prospecting in the interests of the
Alaska Gold Quartz Il Placer Mining
Co. 1t is understood that this company
will commence active development on
this property in the early spring, and
we predict it every success. us the man
agement is under the control of a strong
board of directors who are practical
mining men.

The Biggest Gold Mine OH Earth

The Biggest Gold Mine on Earth.
The last issue of the JOURNAL gave
an extended account of the workings of
the Treadwell mine on Douglass island.
Showing that the mill crushed during
one year 354, 329 tons of rock at q total
cost of 81 cents per ton, which yielded
4,432 tons of concentrates. The chlori-
nation works treated these concentrates
at cost of $7.S3 per ton treated, or at
cost of less than II cents per ton Of
rock mined. The total cost of mining
and reducing the rock to bullion, in
Guiding all operating expenses, was a
trifle less than $3.50 per ton of rock
mined, and as the rock yielded an aver
age OF 1921 per ton there was a net
profit of over so cents on each ton of
rock mined.
This is good showing as far as treat
ing rock is concerned but in COMPARE
son to what could be accompli, he'd with
some OF the vastly richer rock to be
found along the Alaska coast, the above
fades into insignificance. Take for in
stance the properties located at Port
Stewart, Ketchikan, Gravina and An
nette islands, Copper mountain and
other points on Prince of Wales island,
Long island, Dali island and other nu-
merous places where rock has been
found and assayed that runs as high as
$50 per ton, and large quantities. are to
be found which run over IS per ton.
1t is true that no body of ore has yet
been found which will compare in vol
ume with the Treadwell, but if good
stamp mill and chlorination works were
built at convenient point, enough ore
would be offered for treatment to keep
at least 600 stamps busy night and day.
The present demand for mill in this
part of Alaska is very great aud the
near future will, no doubt, ace such a
mill completed and in working order.

l.
CATION on the Stikeen River is
nearly over for this year. The
water in the upper river is low
ering fast, and barring heavy
rains at the headwaters, no
steamer will make more than one
more trip before the water will
be so low as to prevent naviga-
ton.
The season about to close has
been a remarkable one in many
respects. The travel on the riv-
er this year has been greater by
far than that of any previous
year, due, as every one knows,
to the great rush to the Yukon
district. This travel would east
ly have been double what it was
had the Canadian government,
and Mckenzie, Mann & Co., lived
up to their repeated promises
regarding railway from Glen
ora to Teslin Lake. 1t was the
promise of a railway that brought
thousands to Wrangel thinking
to penetrate the interior by this
natural gateway, and considering
all the facts it speaks well for
the Stikeen River Route, that so
many succeeded in reaching their
destination. The past is mat
ter of history, we must live in
the present looking to the future
for our reward. There are a
great many interests at stake,
and the powerful influence of the
vast amount of capital invested
in this route justify the assertion
that the right will prevail. No
one doubts that a railway will be
built, and when it is built there
will be only one route to the Yu.
kon, and that via the Stikeen
River. In another column will
be found a description of the
work being done by large cor.
porations in this country, all of
whom have unbounded faith in
the future of the Stikeen River
Route.
Leaving this all aside and
without taking the proposed rail
way into consideration, we have
yet great country and a greater
future. The rush to Alaska has
caused to be discovered great
number of rich placer and quartz
claims, many of which are locat-
ed along the Stikeen River. The
bars in the river have been
profitable digging for twenty
five years, and it was only the
thoughts of the Klondike which
caused so many to pass them by,
looking tor something to rival
Bonanza and Eldorado. The re-
suit is that the Klondike is over
done and prospectors are forced
to look elsewhere for diggings.
The Hootalinqua and Stikeen
rivers, and Dease lake are COM
ing in for their share of attention
and good claims are being found
there. Dease lake in particular,
is showing up very rich, and a
railway will be built Immediately
by the Cassiar Central Railway
Co., from Glenora to Dease
lake, and as the country between
Dease and Teslin is easy to travel
and rich in mineral, the Cassiar
Central may continue their road
to Teslin by way of Dease lake.
In addition to the vast wealth
of the interior, there remains the
coast line tributary to Wrangel,
which is practically undeveloped

A Gambling Camp.

Yesterday, while scouting around
in the woods, Deputy S. T. Lind
say came across a very noisy party
spending the Sabbath gambling.
The party consisted of whites and
blacks to the number of 40 or so
and was on Caddo, y miles north
of here. OF course the officer
alone could not cope with the
crowd, which scattered in every di-
rection on his approach, but he
succeeded in holding Sam Wilson,
Wiley Palmer, Sonny Gaines and
Felix Stevenson and bringing them
to town. Many of the others will
be brought in later, as the officer
has their names.

CommIssIoner's Court.

The gambling nest which Dep
uty Lindsay stirred up in the
woods Sunday has been giving
Commissioner Bradford some work
to-day. Quite number who ar
rived at the conclusion that they
would be arrested later on are
coming in and entering pleas of
guilty to the charge of gaming.
The four brought in by the officer
were fined $40 and costs each.
Cullish Harkins came in and ac-
knowledged his guilt in gaming
and was fined $40 and costs.
There is some trouble attached to
Cull's case yet; for when he ran,
on the officers approach, he was
seen to carry full-grOwn pistol
alOng with him. For this he is
under temporary bond.
Three or four others are here t.
plead guilty as soon as they caI
get a chance.

Few realize the difficulties with which
Admiral Dewey had to contend in the
Philippines since the sinking of the Span
ish fleet. Indeed, that feat was the least
difficult of his many labors, says q corre-
spondent Of the New York Sun, writing
prior to the capture of Manila. His chief
trouble was occasioned by the Germans.
The latter seemed to take special delight
In violating moral propricties and disre-
garding Admiral Dewey's regulations.
Admiral Dewey had ordered that there
should be no movement Of ships or boats
about the bay at night without his knowl-
edge and permission. That WIS neccs-
sary to m effective blockade, and in order
to be legal, a blockade must be effective.
The Germans began Mt one to disregard
the regulation. They sent launches about
after shutdown as il there had been no
such regulations. The launches were
stopped by our patrol boats and some of
them were turned back. The result was
friction between the two admirnls. Won
Dicdrichs protested. Dewey replied that
his regulation must be observed.
The Germans kept up their work and
Dewey's ships have watched the Ger.
mans at night with their scarchlights.
1t is particularly offensive to one war
ship to be the target for another's search
light, but that has happened to the Ger.
mans several times as the wheeling Amer
ican lights examined the bay to see what
