Bonanza district, has richer ore been found at the surface than in the Res. urrection lay zone.
 Seventeen miles from Seward the company owns two claims located for calcite. Specimens cut out from just under the surface have shown nearly 70 per cent pure lime. The deposit is plainly exposed on both sides of a deep gorge across which it strikes. On one side the washing of small stream exposes the calcite width of ten feet. The water running over this has formed calc-tufa or spongy lime. Stalactitc and stalagmite for nations .n small scale are also seen. Digging under the surface away from the water almost pure cal cite iS taken out.
 The outcroppings indicate that this calcitc deposit is wide and deep, and it has been traced 5000 feet on the strike. It lies only half mile from the Alaska Central railroad and it's value for smelter dse is almost incal. culablc.

was of several tons weight and was broken up and shipped to a smclter giving good returns. The presence of this boulder is argued to be con elusive evidence of the existence of q valuable ore body somewhere uu the mountain since mining men can. not conceive that a single huge boul- der could exist alone.
 Near Iliamna lake, west of Cook inlet, the company has 12 claims on which only annual labor has been done since it's discovery two years ago. Well defined copper ledges have been shown to exist on the property and the indications arc considered good for large and valuable deposits. The lliamna country js chased by ex- perts as a wonderful as well as q vast copper region.
 Adjacent to Resurrection bay the company has an interest in I3 copper claims which are described elsewhere in an article devoted to the remarlSa- ble copper zone near the town of Sew. ard. Nowhere in Alaska, outside the

The strike along the ore body that is its length--is $. 72 E., while the cleavage in the country rock is N. so E. to N. 17 w. Slightly above and to the northwest of this orc body oc- CUTS q similar but smaller lens which strikes N. 7 w. and dips 62 N. It measures 9 feet across the strike and is approximately 25 feet long. From all indications it pinches at both ends It's depth is unknown.
 "Of the country rocks in the vicin- ity there are three types-very fine grained, hard, nearly black, basic rock; coarse-grained black basic di- abase, and pyrrhyrytic diabasc, the latter being the freshest of the lot.
 "The ores seem to be replacement of the country rock. The fact that the bodies occur as lenses may be suggestive. The strata seemed to bend around the second and smaller lens in a manner to suggest the pos8i- ble widening between the walls"

NUGGET CREEK
 COPPER CLAIMS Alaska Consolidated Copper Company to Continue
 Development.

Tine Alaska Consolidated Copper company has acquired by purchase and location, copper properties on several creeks in the Chittyna copper country, their efforts finally being centralized on Nugget creek as the most promising of the properties owned. With the developments of the last three years, immense veins and bodies o' bornitescopper ore have been uncovered and tunnels run across and into the veins, and we'll known and experienced engineers en- gagged to examine and report upon the same.
 The company has expended very rdrgu uTtrctfnt" money tiurins tile past several years and are preparing during 1909 to a9ajn send in a large amount of suppi$e% including mining cars, etc, for the purpose of begin ning.the mining of copper orc on q large scale for transporGa tion over tn, railroad when completed.
 It is generally believed now that the town of Valdez and all of those who have maintained their properties in the interior, will be able to receive benefits from the construction of the railroad and the developments of their various copper properties.
 This company is more than pleased with the developments of their own property, inasmuch as it iustifies the expectations of many owners of Irop- erty, that when sufficient work has been done, they will have profitable and permanent mining of copper ores, and that the Chittyna copper zone will be the greatest copper producer in the world many times over. Men of large means are beginning to un- derstand that this is fact and co-op- eration on very large scale will no doubt shortly be experienced.
Valdez daily prospector., 1909-01-15

a tunnel has been driven into the mountain on which an outcrop ap- pears and ledge 12 feet in width was crosscut. Assays show the ore to run from BE to per cent in copper.
 The company's ground is advan- tagcously situated for mining pur- poses. It is practically on tide water of deep, well-protected harbor, and water power is available from mag nificent waterfalls in close proximity. The company intends to push devel, opment work this year, with the view of putting the property on shipping basis as soon as possible.
 The properties of the company con sist of seven full claims and frac- tion. 1he officers are s. A. Temple, president and treasurer; o. P. Brown, of Petersburg, Alaska, vice president; {; J. C. Dieringer, secretary, all of whom are leading business men of Alaska.

traced. A large ore body is believed to exist on the Duchess" and adjoin- ing claims, in the opinion of all the experts, and in an indefinite way it has been blocked out. The object of the development work has been to block out this ore body so as to admit of actual mining. Recent work on the "Duchess'' has crosscut vein in which the ore assays 3.5 to 5 per cent copper. A carefully selected speci- men assayed II per cent copper.
 At Horseshoe bay the company has built q small town, has good wharf, a large general store which does a steady business with the mining camps on Latouche island and other territory. It has also large equip ment of mining machinery and an expensive electric plant. A stream running through the company's ground furnishes enormous water power.
 At Landlock bay the company has nine claims, on which development work has disclosed several small veins of copper ore, some of it of good val ue. The slight work required hy the annual labor law was done in drift which had previously been driven and the assessment work opened a four-foot vein of ledge matter con- taining Is inches of solid chalcopyrite ore. Picked specimens of this run nearly 10 per cont copper.
 The LandloCk bay property of the company lies in the hills about a mile from the head of Landlock bay, a long serpentinc channel with promis- ing copper prospects lining each side nearly it's entire length. One of these prol er0iea, lying just below the Rey- holds claims, will be q shipping mine the present year, and others are not far behind in development. LandlOck bay is regarded by mining men as the most nearly certain to be great cop per district of all the copper regions of Prince William sound.
 At Boulder bay the annual labor has in lesser degree produced :he same favorable results as at Horse shoe and Landlock. A drift was run to reach a vein which had been cut by diamond drill previously. The vein was crossed and shows stringers of low grade copper ore.
 The company has q wharf and sev- eral good buildings at Boulder bay, and valuable machinery plant. The indications for copper deposits are considered good but no large ore body has been defined. The discovery was made at an enormous boulder just above the water line. This boulder

The Reynolds Alaska Development company has acquired extensive hold ings of mining property dispersed ov- CT d wide area of territory which is regarded by mining experts as one of the best fields in the world for invest ment. These properties are chiefly copper and embrace claims in several districts of Prince William sound, the Iliamna country, Kenai peninsula and the interior not far from the Bonanza district.
 The largest areas of mining ground held by the ReynoldsAlaskac compa- ny are in the islands and shores of Prince William sound. On several of these properties large sums have been expended and continuation of work on large scale was planned and in progress when financial! difficulties, largely due to the panic of 1907, com pelled suspension of operations. Since then only the necessary annual labor has been undertaken. Extensive development work has been done by this company at Horse shoe bay, on Latouche island, near the southwestern entrance to Prince William sound, and at Boulder bay and Landlock bay on the eastern shore of the sound. At Horseshoe bay and Landlock bay much low grade ore and some high grade ore have been disclosed and in the opin- ion of all mining men and experts who have examined the ground the belief is general that each of these properties will ultimately become q valuable mine.
 The Horseshoe bay property l a. been the favorite of the promoters of the Reynolds-Alaska company. There the company holds 76 claims and q well-defined copperzo runs through out the area along the mountain slope and nearly parallel to the water line. In this zone several lodges have been
