NOW FOR THE MILL

It is announced in another column of this issue of the Alaskan that there will be a meeting of the sub scribers to the sampling mill fund this week. It is proposed at this meeting to take up the matter of in corporation.
 The executive committee which has had the matter of sites and machiner under consideration, announces that it is ready to report. and there seems to be no reason why the test mill should not begin taking form
 In every direction throughout the sagway valley and its environs since the people of Skagway decided to build the min, a great deal of activity has been manifested by prospectors with the result that sveraI promising new Iedges have been located. It is now up to the mill people to hurry the matter along and get the mill in shape for the testing of these ores.
 This matter of having sampling mills is getting to be a necessity to Che development of all the quartz camps of Alaska. In Valdez where there is already capacity mill work ing on one mine. they have decided to build a sampBng mill for the purpose of encouraging the prOspec- tor. In the Fairbanks section they started off with two sampling mills, which have resulted in proving sever al properties to be capable of becom- ing producing mines and today they are shipping in, and establishing ca pacity mills. In Nome they recently ordered the plant of a sampling mill for tbqt district, and it win be estab- Hshed before the close of the season. Down in the Dawson country they are working out ways and means for the building of the same thing,
 
 Our people must not allow this matter to drag along indefinitely get busy and carry out the plans of the organization.

-Ketchikau Miner,

The above comment sizes up the situation of nearly every mining camp at some stage in its history, Capital must have some show, or it will not interest itself in the devel- opment of a country. In most mining sections one can find good proper ties that have been buried under the large expectations of the prospeo- tor and lie in idleness because cap iaI refuses to pay the prices asked by owners with exaggerated ideas of the values which the properties con tain. Other properties are idle after certain stages of development because of gross mismanagement in the Oper- ating of the properties. In both con tiugencies capital receives poor en-

MISTAKES OF MINE OWNERS

During the past month at least a dozen mining men have been in town for the purpose of looking over pro perties in this locality, but as far as this paper has heard, none of them have closed a deal The reason, according to the visiting experts, is that the prospector in practically every instance has demanded too much cash down at the time of mak- ing out the bond. Of course after a man has put in practically all his life looking for a paying property and at last finds what he considers az. such. he is bound to put 8 rather high valuation on it, thereby, in many instances. defeating his own ends. This is regrettable as it not only prevents the sale of that particular property. but has a bad effect upon every other property within the same district. Naturally we want all we can get for anything we can sell, but 1t were better to get even a little for a property and ralize on it than to wear oneself uot doing assessment work while waiting for somebody to come along and assume all the risks -Ketchikau Miner.
