FAMOUS GOLD MINE.

The famous Treadwell mines
of Alaska will have one of the
most valuable exhibits at the
Alaska Yukon Pacific Exhibition
in Seattle in 1909 that was ever
shown to the public. 1t will con-
sist OF bricks and bars of real
gold, tons of the rich gold quartz
and many sacks of the richest
concentrates, the total Of all be-
ing close to a half million dol
lars. The company will likewise
bave as part Of its exhibit, q
small milling plant which gold
ore from the ,Treadwell will be
treated the same as at the great
works on Douglas Island. The
Treadwell is one of the oldest
mines in Alaska, having been in
almost continuous operation for
25 years and it has produced on
an average of 81, 900, 600 in gold
year, half Of which is profit.
The ore in the Tredwell runs
very low in value not averaging
over two dollars q ton and the
mine annually takes out a million
tons of ore. No where in the
world is the economy of mining
practiced SO extensively. The
ore is taken out of great pits
called Glory Holes and q thou
sand tons are blown out at once.
The ore in falling to the bottom
of the pit breaks into Small
pieces saying u mechanical oper-
alton. From the pits it is handled
in great bins all by gravity until
it reaches the stamp mills. The
cost OF mining, milling and oper-
alton costs less than dollar a
ton, going some years to as low
as 81 cents ton. The Tread
well takes it's name from its dis

in the stone age. Ours is the CO.

years ago only 165, 900 barrels of
Portland cement were used in
