FIRST PAYMENT ON RAINY
 HOLLOW IS MADE

producing to their full capacity it is estl mated that s4, ,OOO,OO or s5,OOO,OOO will have been invested.
 The railroad from the coast to the mines will be about F miles in length. and to build that, itself,will be an under taking of great magnitude.
 The Rairy Hollow district was dis. covered for the first time about five years ago. Since that time hardy and persistent crowd of prospectors have been doing their assessment work on the so or more claims that have been located. They have been negoti- ating from year to year for capital with which to develop their property, and this sale is the result of these ne- gotiations.
 The prospectors who have been most persistent and who have given most of their time to the Rainy Hollow country include J. W. Burnham, Richard Ken nedy, Michael Cassin, Dan Sulligvn and Dan Creedon. They have had very little outside assistance, though few have advanced money and acquired interests in their properties. Martin Conway, of this city, is the most ex. tensive holder aside from those on the ground. He and two associates have sold their Il claims for s750,000. Capt. A. E. Mcdonnell, of the mounted police, and Dr. Fraser, of the same organiza- tion, are interested there, aud their interests are included mong those pur- chased by Mir. Thomson and associates.
The daily Alaskan., 1906-09-28

The first payment in the purchase price of the Rainy Hollow copper prop critics has been put up. This is tes- tified to by the sellers and by M. Thomson, of London, England, who represents the purchasers. Work will begin at once on the preliminaries and early in the coming spring the con- struction of railroad from Pyramid Harbor to the mines will begin. Thirty men will be worked this winter. They will move supplies to the ground and prepare for the greater activity that will begin with the opening of the next season.
 MT. Thomson left for Atlin yester- day. He goes to secure permits from the gold commissioner to build rail road through the ten miles between the international bounday line and the copper properties.
 Mir. Thomson says it is the purpose to push the development work as fast as men and money can do it.
 The company's headquarters will be either at Skagway or Juneau. It is admitted 1t will be more convenient to make them at Seagway.
 The English and Scotch syndicate, represented by MT. Thomson, has secured 43 claims in the Rainy Hollow country. They include the very best properties there, and tneir purchase involves about sl, ,5OO 900. The purchase price will be distributed in several pay ments. Before the properties shall be
