BEGIN WORK ON
 FAIRVIEW VEIN
Tunnel Will Be Run to Develop Discovery Claim East of
 Fox Island.

Development work has started on the Fairview group, the copper property located recently east of Fox island on the peninsula. and tunnel will be run on the ledge, beginning at the discovery. William Bedmau, F. F.. Putnam and \. C. Gould, three of the owners, went down the bay Sunday morning with provisions sufficient to keep several men all fall and a forge and tools and everything needed for ordinary tunnel work.
 The work will be in charge of Red man who is am experienced quartz miner, andifdeyelopment shows a body of ore work will be pushed steadily all winter. The discovery is not high enough for snow to become deep in midwinter, lying less than half mile from tide water, on a bench of the mountain. with a good place for a camp only 500 feet lower down. A small bay directly under it affords a good landing-place and the climb to the property is not difficult.

SHOWS FINE SAMPLES
 OF CHALCOPYRITE ORE

A chunk of chalcopyrite copper ore weighing l6 pounds, from the Porcu- pine bay discovery oi S. E. Likes, dec- orates the mineral cabinet in the Northern saloon. It undoubtedly runs above 70 per cent copper.
 A piece of ore still larger and equal ly rich is in a sack of nearly 100 pounds which Mr. Likes brought up from his last visit to Porcupine. The other pieces are smaller but carry about the same percentage of copper. All were taken from the surface and show weather stains.
 The assay of this ore made previous ly shows 22.8 per cent copper, or at l9 cents SS664 in value. Besides this the ore carried $2.4l in gold and S2.0l in silver. The disclosed vein is ten feet wide and the iron Capping forty feet wide.

The cruiser Buffalo came to Seward yesterday to select site and make a survey for a government coaling sta ton, which will be recommended to the secretary of the navy for accept ance. A reservation a mile and half square, or two and one-quarter square miles will be made. The work of sur veying the land, shore line and chart ing adjacent waters will require ten or twelve days.
 Captain Charles F. Bond is com mander of the Buffalo and entrusted with the task of selecting the coaling

site. The most probable location in- cludes Lowell point and extends main ly southward. This predilection in favor of Lowell point and the west shore of Resurrection bay is not con- elusive and site on the east side of the bay might be chosen. That is a matter to be determined by the sur vey under direction of Capt. Bond.
 While the present design is only to locate coaling station the reservation of so large a tract of land undoubtedly indicates the possibility of the future location of navy yard on the site. Capt. Bond tacitly admitted that such

PrOSpectOrS Locate Rich Copper Deposit Along Summit Above
 Days HarbOr,
DISCOVERY NEAR TIDE WATER
CampiOn, Hanson and Alexander Find Remarkable Ledge of Ore
 Twenty Feet Wide.

Copper ore that assays l5.I per cent was found this week on the Days Har- Dor side of the wedge of land between that estuary and Resurrection bay. The ore came from a ledge twenty feet wide, running along the summit, north of the claims located by Idaho Bill'' Lietzke. It is reached from DriftwoOd bay, a recess of Days harbOr.
 The dfscoverers of the ledge are E.. R. Campion, Chris Hanson and Fred Alexander. A feature of the find is that the ledge has conspicuous red iron capping which had been mo- ticed by several other prOSpectOrS who had been exploring the western slope of the ridge and have located there. The red streak at the summit is easily visible below but the ascent is almost impossible from the Resur- rection bay side, so everybody on this side passed it by.
 The three men who located this ap- parently remarkable deposit are old prospectors but were working on the railroad bridges for Watson x Snow when the first copper discoveries along the ridge were reported in the Gate way. They sat up and took notice and when Idaho Bill, an old acquaintance, made his string of locations from Cape Resurrection they joined in the copper stampede, taking a hunch to go around to the other side.
 Several tons of rich float were found below the ledge and the locatOrs in- tend 10 ship this to a shelter to get returns. The property is easily ac- cessible from tide water.

GOOD LEDGE OF
 CH|GNIK COPPER
Peter IVerSOn Reports Deposits of Low Grade But Eyi.
 dently Extensive.

Copper ore in unlimited quantities, though of rather low grade, seems to surround Prospect bay, near Chignik, according to Peter Iverson, who was sent there by party of Seward men to examine the Warner discovery, which was reported in the summer. The ore is a sulphide and is found al- most from the waters edge. Iverson located several claims higher up than the Warner locations, and reports that the mineral ledge is apparently 300 feet wide, or at least the iron cap ping is that wide He traced the ledge nearly a mile.
 Iverson also located a townsite on a flat tract of land along Prospect bay. It comprises only twenty acres and IverSon claims It is the only suitable townsite on the bay. A short portage separates Prospect bay from Castle bay which is long distance away by the irregular shore line. Prospect bay. is a magnificent harbor, but 50 little known that Capt. Moore of the steamer Dora never saw it until he went in on the last trip.
 On the Warner property, close to the water, is natural dump of fseveral thousand tons of copper ore and gangue, which has fallen from an al- most vertical face, leaving the ore body exposed.
 J. L. McPherson, an expert for the Guggenheims. made an examination of the Warner property last month.
