Fate of Steamer Discovery

A Vancouver, B. C., paper contains
 the following: The fate of the steamer
 Discovery, which left Yakutat Bay five years ago with one hundred passengers and large consignment of gold, has
 at last been discovered. The news
 was brought down by the captain of one of the last steamers to leave Val dez for Sound ports. He stated that
 the vessel must have been wrecked
 near the entrance to Prince William
 Sound, as on Montague a large number
 of human bones have been found, and
 at low tide the boilers of the steamer
 are visible among the rocks. The cap
 tain says it is too late this season 10 do anything but next spring he hopes to
 take up a wreckiug outfit and endeavor
 to secure the gold dust the wrecked
 steamer was known to have on board. Meantime he k endeavoring to secure the names of her passengers, which is difficult matter as all the officers of the ship, and all her records, went down with her. So far as he has been able 10 find out not single soul
 escaped. The passengers were from the Kenai peninsula and from around Valdez with some from Yakutat Bay, her last place of call. It was in the fall of the year and the crowd oi miners had with them their seasons cleanup. Alter she left Nakutat neither she nor any of her crew were ever heard of until the present.

Preparing for Big Auto Race

The New York Times has wired John Rosene aid for the proposed automo- bile race around the world under the auspices of that paper. The parties will start from New York and Paris simultaneously. The New York party will start west and the Paris party will take the opposite direction. Both parties will cross Alaska and Siberia. Shipments of gasoline will be made to Valdez, Fairbanks and Nome to be used in making the trip. The exact routes have not yet been settled nor has the date been fXed on which the start is to be made. Cars for the trip are being manuactured in both coun- tries and will be equipped as well as money and human ingenuity can de- wise.

LEASERS ARE
VERY ACTIVE

After sinking their shaft exactly
sixty feet, the Husband Cushing leas J
on the Antelope broke into the ledge
during the past week and are now
busily engaged in uncovering it.
The ledge as it appears in the bot
tom of the shaft is about fourteen
inches wide and dips toward the
south and east.
The entire ledge pans free gold and
for the few inches adjacent to the
hanging wall it is estimated that it
will run as high as 500 to the ton.
The characteristics of the ledge as
found in the Husband Cushing shaft
is identical with the ledge in the
Paulsen-B laisdell lease on the Ante
lope which has been giving such phe-
nomenal values of late in almost pure
gold.
Now that all doubt is removed as
to the existence of the ledge in the
block owned by these leasers, within
will be installed at once and an extra
force of men put to work uncoverins
and extracting the ore.

from the Ophir, / think that with the
judicious expenditure of more money
we viii begin to pay dividends before
six months. The immense ore body
which is being developed in the Ophir
should make il one of the best prop
critics in Nevada. if not as great as
was in the great days OF the Com
stocks.
II have been asked by courtesy OF
the present management to place a
representative on the boards named
and this has been done. I have no
criticisms to make of the present
management, but I do believe that
with the expenditure of more money
we will get greater results and get
them quicker. If it is necessary let
us have assessments until we can
either determine whether the mines
are good or not. If not, the thing to
do is to close them up. If the reports
of the engineers are true, however,
there is no doubt that there are still
plenty of millions to be taken out OF
the Comstocks.
Il have been so busy coal mining
for the last twenty years that have
had little time to devote to the Com
stocks, but now intend to take an
active interest in their development
through my son..

STURGIS TALKS
OF The COMSTOCk

In an interview in the San Fran
cisco Recorder, e. B. Sturgis, who has
become prominent factor in Com
stock affairs, had the following to say
regarding the mines
For the last ten years | have been
the largest individual stakeholder in
the three companies named, and
large holder of shares in many of the
other Comstocks. | have never pur-
chased any other mining stocks and
never intend to do so. Some of my
relatives, while was boy, made
considerable money out of the Com
stocks, and have also been a buyer
of those properties, rather than any
other.
Leon Hall, the engineer of the
Ward Shaft Association, has told me
that not more than one-fourth of the
lodges which yielded the 100000 .
900 of the Comstocks during their en-
tire life, have been explored. If this
is true, there still remain many mill
lions 10 be taken out. hope that /
will live to receive some of the big
dividends which am firmly con-
WINGED still remain to be paid on the
Comstock mines, but il not, at least
my heirs will have good chanse of
getting them.
81 believe that if we go after the
ore with the same expenditure of
money and the same energy and in
telligence as is used in going after
coal, we will begin to show results
within short time. If they are now
able to produce a hundred cars of ore
