ical Survey, in charge of the division of economical geology, will arrive ur on the Princess May Monday, and ge from here 10 Hadley and other points on Prince of Wales for the purpose oi making an examination of the Mamie and other des eloped mines of that section.
 Chas- ". Wright. of the geological survey. who has been at Hadley, for several weeks, filling in the geological details of s topographic map in course o. preparation by the bureau, is in town, but will probably return to the peninsula with Mir. Lindgren Monday. Mr. Wright has done excellent good work in this section n-and his reports have come 10 be regarded-and very properly and justly so. as the highest and most reliable authority concern ing the geology of southeastern Alias ka.
 C. ". Feickert has brought in some large and very fine looking specimens Of ore. of which he believes he has an extensive ledge at the head of Nichol' $ hay. Prince of Wales island. The ore apparently carries copper. gold. silver. lead and zinc. the copper. silver, lead and zinc seeming to predominate Mr. Feickert Is the owner of three lc. cations al the point named, and has associated with him Vim. C. Cans. formerly employed as foreman at the Rush < Brown mine, and Edward Thornton, an experienced mine and shelter operator. formerly of Butte. in two other locations on the same ledge. These gentlemen have been quietly st work for some time past prospecting, with results thus far al- together satisfactory. They have traced, and opened up the ledge, by open pits and cross-cut tunnels over a length of 6o00 feet and to a depth of n teet, the ore body being apparently continuous and without break, and so far as known carrying width of about l2 feet The ore is pronounced by judges susceptible of fine coucentra- ton. The exact character of the good formation has not been determined. though the country rock appears to be 2 limestone on one side and ouartzite or the other. l. is the intention of -Mr. Feickert and his associates to fur ther develop the property. by sink ing shalt near the beach to depth Q: J feet or more. and if their expecta- tio1s are realized, to make such other explorations as may be necessary to enable careful and exhaustive exam ina;ion preliminary to providing ways and means for further development. Tie property is possessed of the ad vantage Of close proximity to the waters of one of the best harbors on the entire coast. a good water power, and an abundance of timber for all practical purposes in the way of the mining and treatment of it's ore.
 From Mondays Dailyl
 The big tug Holyoke, which lowed the barge Case 10 Juneau recently with coal for the cableship Burnside. passed down this morning without her tow. l. appears that after having dis charged her coal, the Case took on a cargo Of concentrates at Treadwell, but sprung a leak while crossing the Taku. and had 10 be towed back to Treadwell where the Holyoke left her having her cargo taken out as nec- essary preliminary to having her patched up.
 ". H. GiImour and others, having taken sn option for bond on some mineral claims at Kit-koon bay. Chol- mondeley sound, recently located by Jack Douglas and associates. left this morning or the Patterson Elk for the purpose Of inspecting the property with a view 10 determining their future action with respect to it.
 Among the passengers who arrived up yesterday on the City of Seattle WAS Sam Licbtenstader, owner Of the Mt. Andrew mines. which are being operated by the Britannia Smelling and Refining company under lease and contract. Mir. L. has many friends, and no enemies who count for anything in this district, all of whom, remem bering the expense and annoyance to which he was subjected in his effort 70 secure title 10 and subsequent de- yeIopnent of this now famous proper U, are more than pleased to see him on the broad highway to the wealth Of which he is so justly deserving. He continued on the Seattle to Hadley, and from there will go to Mt. Andrew to look over the mines, returning here after few days for short stay. Messrs. Black and Strong have a force of men al work prospecting the property on CboImondeIey sound re- gently taken oyer by them under bond from G. Nygard. The property is in the same mountain with the Moon shine, and about two miles distant therefron,. It is promising proper
