OPERATIONS
 COMMENCED
Development Work on Glacier Basin
 Properties Begun

It now looks as if the fandest hopes of the people of this section are to be real ized. Some six or seven years ago sevs eral mining claims were taken up over in Glacier Basin on the mainland by Charley Nelson, John schuler, Philip Colby, Henry Seimer, Frank Smith and his son, Marion Smith. From the gen. eral formation and the nature of the rock on the surface, the ore was thought to be very rich. This belief was further confirmed when, on sinking tunnel fos several feet, assays showed that all that was necessary to establish rich paying mine was finances to open and fully de- velop the property. The several claims were massed under the title of the Gla. cier Basin Group of Mining Claims, and the necessary annual assessment work wss kept up.
 In 1903. Mir. John Tisdale fell in love with these properties and secured an option on them through F. 0 Williams. He began development work on them, but as his finances ran low he was com. pelled to abandon the work temporarily, while be went east to raise money. N was while he was on this mission that bis death occurred in New York by drowning. Hence, the work ceased. the option expired, and nothing has been done since then except to keep up the annual assessment work.
 But it now looks as if work is to be taken up and actively pushed. A few weeks ago Mir. J. R. -Rayburn repre-. senting combination of capitalists of Duluth, Minn., arrived here through the efforts of c. E. Jury. MT. Rsyburn is 8 competent mining man, and after a thorough investigation of the property, he returned to Duluth and reported his fndings and exhibited samples of the ore which be took with him. So we'll pleased were his people with the outlook that they wired an acceptance of the terms upon which the claims could be had, and forwarded guarantee fund to the owners, ,promising that representa- lives would be on the ground at as early date ae possible.
 By the Dolphin, last Saturday, these parties came in the percentages of Henry Wicks and Charles k. Watson. of Du. luth. These men got busy at once, ask. 1 ing for twenty men to begin with. At this season of the year in these parts, men are hard to get, but they succeeded la raising twelve good men. and with these they left for the Basin, Monday, wiring to Juneau for other men.
 In conversation with reporter, MT. Watson said that the people he and Mr. Wicks represent mean business; that they are not going into the venture for the purpose of selling stock or for any other reason than to conduct straight and legitimate mining business, and as there is plenty of money behind them. all that is required to insure mine at the Basin is sufficient quantity of ore and this, we believe, they will find.
Alaska sentinel., 1907-07-25

Word comes to town that John Koib had quite trying experience recently. He was on his way to the basin district on prospecting trip, and when be got to Mill Lake, put bis outfit into one of the old boats and started for the head of the lake. He had just got fairly started when the boat commenced sinking, and John was forced to swim for his life. Reaching the shore, John discovered that the boat WAS drifting toward the fallr, so, in order to save his outfit, he swan out and lowed the boat ashore. The bath probably freshened his spirits, but was surely anything but pleasant in water right of the glacier.
 Mir. ". G. Thomas made flying trip to Petersburg, going up on the Cottage and returning on the Humboldt. He said that Henry J. Giertsin, president, T. Guldbrsndsen, vice president, and A.. NJ. Hotter, director of the P. (. X N Pkg. Co.,, are there ai.d seem very vel satisfied with their Petersburg proper. ties. The csnnery has up over 5000 cases, mostly reds, and the sswmill is running regularly, cutting lots of good lumber. Mir Thomas says the bride and groom seem as happy as two big sunfowsrs.
 The 2,il6-ton steamer Santa Rosa, carrying tourists, came into port from the north, Tuesday afternoon, and lay at the wharf for about four hours, while the passengers took in the sights of our picturesque town. Among the passen. gers were the Misses Edith B. Grafton and NJ. J. Glinburg of Everett; NJ. E. Swoboda of Snohomish and B. Curry of Michias, Wash, fo1r good lockers wi.o were sent to Alaska by the Everett Daily Herald as the result of a voting contest. They were escorted by Mir. Sam Grafton, who reported a most en- joyable tour of this section.
 Ii Wrangell had few more citizens who took as much pride in the town as does our launiryman, Wm. Cook, they would be worth much to the town. As the passengers came ashore from the Santa Rosa Mir. Cook WAS there with a box of his fine strawberries and sprays of gooseberries and entrants grown in his garden. They attracted much st- tention from tine tourists, many of whom had no idea such fine fruit could be pro- duced in Alaska.
 z. R. Cheney, one of Junesu's prom ising attorneys, was in town last week to look after probate matters in the case of Smith, who was killed at Tenakee last year. This case belonged in the Hoonah precinct, and being out of that precinct, Judge Slane was unable to act in the matter.
