early rising and a furry of preparations
concerning lunches and fishing tackle and
old clothes; then a long walk and a long
talk about who would catch the most
fish and who wouldn't; and then there
was another furry before prospective
fishermen finally flung out their lines, drew
long breath, and waited. They waited

MINE is A WONDER
Forty Tons a Day Being Crushed.
Concentrations to Be Put
In Next Spring.

Steadily all winter the Hurrah quartz
mine on solomon river has been drop
ping stamps. crushing 40 tons Of ore
daily.
And the ore is of no inferior quality.
Just how rich it may be Is not general
~ known. But it is rich, and is get
ting richer.
The Hurrah quartz mine will be
running long after most Of US who are
now here have left Alaska, said j. NJ.
Williams, the mine superintendent,
who is in town. Mr.. Williams has de-
veoped the mine from mere prospect
hole of two years or so ago. He had
faith in it as it looked then, and his
faith has steadily increased. There
is now no doubt that We have true
assure vein, he says. There are three
drifts on as many different veins and
the indications are that when shaft
i, driven another hundred feet the
three will converge. In the west drift
there are feet Of ore, in the east %
and in the third eight feet
Notwithstanding predictions made
the mill has been continuously dropp-
ing stamps all winter; nothing has
appeared in the shape of weather, TO
prevent its successful working: 81 men
are now employed in the mill and about
the mine taking out ore.
Mr.. Williams will he compelled TO
shut down the mill about the middle Of
May, much to his regret. But the
stamp heads are so worn that it will
have 10 be done. II would give a
thousand dollars il did not have TO do
this. he said, 'as | wanted to keep
the mill running continuously until the
opening of navigation. The stamp
heads cannot be replaced here, how
ever, but they will be here upon the
opening of navigation"
Concentrations will also be put in next
spring.
Three different parties are prospect
ing for quartz and doing some work in
the Solomon section, but with what
success Mr.. Williams does not know.
Some good prospects have been found,
however, in bench claims on the Solo
mon. Second tier benches are show
/ ing up well.
