RICH PROSPECTIVE MINE
NEAR EUREKA, NEW.

About two years ago Dan Morrison,
Charles Greenwood and Eugene Gera-
ty relocated the lone claim, now the
WindfaI. situated about five miles south
west of Eureka in Secret canyon. and
about five miles south of the Hamburg
mine on what is known as Peel Stick hill,
says Eureka Sentinel.
This location was owned and worked
bv John Erickson and Josh Tingley about
ten or eleven years ago. and while con-
siderable prospecting work was zone Oh
the property by these men they were I'M
able to find ore in paying quantities and
abandoned the claim.
In 1906 Messrs. Morrison, Greenwood ana
Geraty began work on the ground with
varying success. Believing from the Ia
vorable indications they noticed while en-
gagged in the work of prospecting the
property that high-grade ore would proba-
bly, be encountered, II encouraged them
to continue the search.
Early last fall they commenced the
work of sinking shaft in the center of
the Windfall claim, and shortly after their
efforts were rewarded by encountering
vein of high-grade ore varying In width
from eight inches or a foot to three or
four feet.
they made shipment of little over five
tons of the ore to the American Smert-
ing & Refining c0mpany's smelter at Salt
Lake and the assay values of the ore per
ton were as follows: Gold, 7.O6 o.; silver,
-
cent making a gross value per ton OF
s152.54 After the cost of smelling and
freight had been deducted the owners re
eeived a net return of s732.15 for the five
and a quarter tons of ore, or an average
of a fraction over s146 per ton
Mr.. Morrison, one of the owners, in
telling of what has been done, said: My
self and associates own group or SIX
claims in the section from which this
shipment of ore was taken. We are at
present working in the center of the
Windfau or lone claim, and have a shaft
down fifty feet. AT the bottom of this
shaft the ledge Of high-grade looks excep-
tionaIIy strong and I believe will give
better assay returns than those already
received from the first shipment There
is a 20-foot ledge of low-grade ore run
ming through the six claims, nut so far
we have been combining our development
work to following the rich ore found in
the shaft on the Windfan claim.
1.-The formation is shale and lime and
the 20-foot ledge of low-grade ore re-
ferred to above is, in my opinion, con-
tact vein. The high-grade streak or
vein running through it is in an iron
gangue.

COST OF MAKING COPPER.
IN THE BUTTE CAMP

The cost of producing copper In Butte
has. during recent years, run from 9 to
12h cents per pound, the average oeing
about 1919 cents, says the Mining World
THE high cost is due to many causes.
principally to extensive and expensive
lions 10 inefficient labor (due 20 the in
deDendence of labor during the copper
boom DAYS and the mining litigation and
political strife which made II necessary
10 Give ennplovment TO voters regard
less OF their capabilities). to increase in
wages and cost of supplies and higher rail-
road rates.
away with since the fall in the price OF
conner: wages have been reduced TO the
normal standard. and miners are giving
ar least . per cent better results than
formerly, prospecting work stopped ana
Termanent improvements completed. 1t
K therefore expected that copper VIII be
produced hencefOrth at a cost not to ex-
coed an average Of 9 or 9l2 cents per
pound.

Utah and Nevada to Buck.

AS yet it is impossible to say what part
of the capitalization of the Cerrc de Pas
co Copper Co. will receive a guaranteed
dividend of, say or per cent. With
metal market conditions as unfavOrable
as they are at present, and with the cop
per output of the Peruvian mines and
works still rather small, it would be i'm
polite for Mr.. Haggin and his friends to
commit themselves on the dividend ques-
ton. 1t took nearly six years to salts
factorily organize the working force and
properly equip the mines so that the cop
per ore, which also contains appreciabie
quantities of gold and silver. could be
treated economically It may take a few
years longer to attain the dividend-pay-
ing stage, and in the meantime the man
agement Of the company must contend
with variable metal prices and an in
creased supply Of copper from the United
States, notably from the low grade mines
in the newer districts of Nevada and
Utah.

Production Heavy Last Year.

In 1907 the Cerro de Pasco Co. shipped
to the United States 20,152. 900 lbs. of re-
fined copper, and it is believed that the
quantity for 1903 Will be not far from
100000 lbs, with the possibility that
there will be gradual increase in sue
ceeding years to 100000 or 100000, 600
pounds. Twelve years ago the entire pro-
duction of copper in Peru was only l.
O07,22S lbs. per annum; but when the
Americans began work at Cerro de Pasco
the quantity grew to 2, 319. 292 lbs, in
1901. Since then the output of copper has
varied with the time of work or the min
ers. which was interrupted by labor trou-
bles and Inconvenience experienced while
installing the ore treatment plant and
coke ovens. Latest advices state that a
better class of help has been secured for
the smelters and for other work and ev-
cry effort is being made by the company
to satisfy the desires of It's employs so
that they will remain the full contract

Tintic Mining Notes.
Eureka Reporter0


The Jump In the price of Grand Central
stock this week caused a number of peO-
pie TO believe that arrangements had been
made for the immediate reopening of the
company's mine at Mammoth but if such
is the case the officials of the company
at this end of the line know nothing about
1t. Superintendent p. j. DOnnelly when
asked regarding the matter yesterday said
that no preparations have been made for
the resumption of work.
1t has been reported that the Opex COM
pany at Mammoth is preparing to sink
the main working shaft to greater depth
When asked regarding this report today
Superintendent McCummings said that the
plans of the company were most too in
definite to be given cut to the public at
this time. He intimated that there would
be some change in the development of the
property and this causes us to believe that
the shaft is to go deeper The workings
now have a depth of over 1900 feet.
A meeting of the Iron Hat Mining COM
pany was held during the week and de-
velopment work will probably be taken
up again at an early date. The COM
pany's ground is in the eastern section
of Tintic and the stock is held almost en-
will be held within the next few days
for the purpose of completing arrange
ments for the reopening of the property.
Some of the stock which was placed in
the treasury for working purposes has
been spoken for and sufficient money will
no doubt be realized to continue work
throughout the year
According to a circular letter sent out
this week by Secretary Lawrence Black
EFT. $4,000 shares of treasury stock OF the
Copper Jack Mining company are TO be
distributed pro rata among the share
holders. The company has a small in
debtedness, which the present assessment
will more than clear up. According to
the articles of incorporation the stock
was not assessable as long as any of the
treasury stock remained unsold. and Us
this is a very poor time for the selling
of treasury stock the directors decided
that il would be best to declare a stock
dividend and then levy an assessment

MINERS INTEREST
IN A BATTELSHIP

A first-class battle ship. the metal con-
tents of which weigh 1900 tons, contains
about the following amounts of the sew
eral metals, says Denver Mining Science:
Steel and iron, 13, 200 tons at $50 1896, 900
Copper, 400 tons at 13c................ 104, 900
Nickel, 40 tons at .5c........-........ IS, 900
1913 -. -. -. ........... 1880
Zinc, ITO tons at 81. 75 ................ 0.iJ0
Tin, ten tons at 500. Observation-Disclosures. $500
1Oeoi $3.50 .s--.-s.-. sSO-f, fOJ
Thus we see that the SHOEMAKER gets
S5so0O0 out of every modern warship
while the metal miner gets SOS, $50
1t is also rather interesting to note that
ship is built almost entirely of metal
Truly the miner must be depended upon
to furnish the sinews of war and the in
surance of peace to a greater extent now
than ever before.
After all. is it not rather POLITICALLY fit
ting that warship should be generated
in the womb of the rugged hills, should
be delivered by the straining of dynamite
and be washed in the molten liquor of the
seething furnace?

Haggin's $60,000,000 Cerro
de Pasco Copper Company
and What 1t Is Up Against.

Great preparations are being made to
develop the copper mining industry of
Peru, a country that in the early days
commanded universal attention by reason
of it's enormous output of silver, says
the Mining World. Credit for the revival
in copper mining should be given largely
to Mr.. J. B. Haggin and the New York
financierS who in 1902 organized the CerrO
de Pasco Mining Co. capitalized at sl0,
100000 Gall held by the Cerro de Pasco In
Vestment Co. with a like capital) The
same interests recently incorporated the
Cerro de Pasco Copper Co. with capital
izatiOn of $60,O00,000, in New Jersey, where
its predecessors were organized.
The $60.000,000 corporation will very like
ly be the holding company, and although
the promoters intimate that it is a close
concern, other people believe the stock
will eventually be traded in much as is
Amalgamated Copper and other large
mine securities holding corporations.

HR VOTER THIS IS TIE DRY YOU SHOULD DO YOUR THINKING THAT YOU

This is the eve of the annual city election It is an important business the have to attend to tomorrow
 The Alaskan not large newspaper and the management
 feels that it should beg the readers pardon for at any tune reprnng that which has already appeared in Its columns However every reader of this paper interested hrs o all in the we'll being of his home place-the city Of sKag way The Alaskan feels that much depends upon the choice to be made from among the fourteen men whose have been placed before the voters to sit at the cun c table for the ensuing year there to decide upon matters in which every citizen is concerned Many things will arise dnrin this year of much moment and of them in voIvinc monetary obligations As the Alaskan views 1t, the platforms put forward by the men offering themselves or being offered candidates represent ther character temper disposition toward the business in hand How they might be expected to act under given crcum stances to arise is to be judged from the attitude in which they approach the people seeking to be entrusted by them
 with the interests voters and taxpayers This is the excuse which the Alaskan offers for reprnting these two lengthy documents once more.
 They are placed side by side under the names of the
 men who have issued them-issued them as reason why vo should seat them at the council table They are re, printed in this fashion only that you may have them before you on the of the day upon which you are to cast your vote but that you may also compare them-the language used the style argument the style of thinking represented in this languagen word the conception here presented by these candidates themselves of what tue duties of a councilman of Skagway are,
 As fuller presentation of all this both platforms are here given exactly as prepared by the committees of the partes-with the capitalization and emphasis of words al lowed to remain as written.
 Now let no man suppose that because this paper does not take sides in such contest is that it has no opinion as between the candidates Quite the contrary There are two parties here in the fd and only one news paper These parties what understood as poit ic They claim to be speaking for the best interests of the city as they-the men at the head of these parties them This newspaper therefore feels that it can bes perform its office toward tie public by simply presenting the situation as it m allowing each party to speak for itself through its platform and this done to stand aside and await the manifestation of the intelligence of the voters of Skagway through an expression at the polls.
 This newspaper believes that where there no other voice to influence the voter the best exercise that the voe can indulge n and one that he will most enjoy is toI THINK FOR HIMSELF.

This is the plank in the platform ot the so-callod TaxpayeFs's party upon which that party is making its cam paisu.
 Now listen NJ. Taxpayer, This con- csrns you ALL, not merely SOME taxpayers. A company of citizens have for long time been negotiating for the purchase of the plant of the Northwest Light X Power company, They have negotiated the terms of that purchase aud Mir, Hall is at this minute on the way to this city to complete the trans fer. The names of the men composing the company have been published, although .he proportionate share Of each has not been indicated, that being private matter and not given out, The plans of the company have also been indicated. These plans ln- voIve large sum of money. It Is all very we'll, very right and proper that q private company undertake this n alter. It MAY be right and proper for the city to undertake 1t.
 Of the men who have negotiated this deal for the purchase of the water plant FOUR are candidates for election to the council on the Taxpayers ticket They are Chris Shea, Charles Nye, w. J. Bledsoe and rhil Snyder, Mir. Snyder, indeed, being the head and front Of the proposed new water company, There has been DO cOncealment Of the fact of the readiness of the new company to sell this plant to the city with any sum which may in the. course of the ex,en- sive improvements contemplated, added to to the purchase price
 Now this is all serious business Mir. TAXPAYER. It is a thing that shou d and must be gone into with eyes wide open and In full knowledge of all the facts. The Alaskan stated on Saturday that no arsorbtion by the city of auy public utility could be entered into legally in auy way other than by sub' hitting the question to the rAXPAY- FRS of the city and their consent being given. Any attempt to stir or appeal to the passions of the people on such question iu an election for city council men at this tin is contrary to good public pol,cy and should bs resented, especially whero the proposed owners of the water plant to be sold to the city are candidates for election, This mat ter of the purchase Of this same plant at a price then fixed at s25,OOo was brought before the taxpayers last year and by vote of all interested turned down.
 As stated, the purchase may be good business-but it is one that should be decided by itself, at special election called to decide 1t and wherein no con tuSIug element of politics might enter,
 It is true, there are three men who are candidates for election on the citi- izens' ticket who are down for certain shares of this stock. They are L, s, Keller, J. A. Kettles and ... A. Me Lean. But this Citizens party is not making its campaign on anything other thau set forth in it's platform. And so far as the Alaskan Is concerned 1t pledges to the people that in any matter l olzing to the purchase of water or other works by the city 1t will insist first upon the minutest details of the being set before every tax. payer and the consent of the taxpayer given,

A VILLAGE ROOM.
Idea that Ought to be Reproduced in
Every Small Town.

A quiet old New England village,
the main street lined with venerable
and spacious houses and magnificent
elm trees, a modest grocery store, a
church or two AMI a sober postofice-
this is old Deerfeld, in the Connecti-
cut valley. Next to the brick church
is little low building called the vii
lage room," built in memory of a
much loved woman who served for
many years in the official capacity of
postmistress Of the town, says Jean
Paul Dresser in MaXwell's Talisman,
The village room is worthy of at
tention, not so much for its architec-
ture as for the fact that it serves as
an assembly hall for the best ele-
ments in the community. 1t is the
common meeting place for the sew
ing circle, the boys club and what
ever is, in The true sense Of the word,
respectable and decent. Here is an
i1ea that ought to be reproduced in
every small town in the country.
This is how it happened in Deer
field. Ten years ago, when Martha
Goulding Pratt died, her friends met,
and the wish was expressed that
there might be some memorial estab-
lished which should be more practi-
cal AMI vital than a stone monument.
The scheme of a village club room
was suggested. It met with APPROX
al and was at once adopted. One
hundred and fifty or more OF the
townspeople, young and old, gave
willing contributions. An architect,
native of Deerfeld, gave his serv-
ices. Another friend gave a small
piece of ground on the main street
between the postofice and the
church, when all these prelimi-
naries had been made ready the viii
lage carpenter did the work of con-
struction. The Martha GOulding
Pratt Memorial is owned by an in
corporated body and controlled by
board of seven trustees. A small
committee of public spirited women
take care of the building and keep
the room in order. A fee of 30
cents is charged TO cover the expense
of fuel and lights when these are
used. The key is hung in the post
Office, next door, and any reputable
person can at any time use the room
for a proper purpose. The room is
furnished in a hCmelike way and
contains a small library of selected
books. Thus, by its very existence,
this little hall radiates certain edu-
cational influence into the commun-
ity.
