He PREDICTS ANOTHER
RUSH TO ALASKA
BUTTE MINING MAN TALKS OF
CONDITION IN THE
FAR NORTH.
Quite Miner

n. j. DOnOhue, president of the Ell
of Alaska, is in Butte and gives an
interesting account of operations in
the mining line in that country. Mr..
Donohue has been in Alaska for the
past IA years and is well acquainted
with conditions there. He states that
this season will see one of the great
est rushes into that district that has
taken place in years and already every
boat leaving Seattle for the north is
heavily laden with passengers and
supplies.
The property Of which Mr.. Donohue
is president is located about IA miles
from Dawson, between Eldorado and
Bonanza creeks. Up to the present
time approximately $20O,000,000, 1t is
declared, has been taken out of this
district in placer gold and it is ex-
pected that $4O0,0O0,OO0 more will be
extracted in the next few years. There
are two small quartz mills running
there now, but plans are said to be
under way for many more.
Eldorado Dome.
The Eldorado Dome properties COM
prise between 1900 and 1900 acres Of
ground and it is said 20stamp mill
will be erected there this year. Power
can be obtained from the A. E. Fred
gold company's plant at 3 cents per
kilowatt.
The new railroad which the govern
ment has under consideration will
open a vast mineral country. 1t prob
ably will run from Valdez northwest
a distance of 700 miles, passing close
to Fairbanks.
Outside of Cordova are located some
of the greatest coal mines in the
world. The government has closed
these lands and will allow no stalking
of claims. The deposits will either be
worked by the government or leased.
Tho Climate.
The climate of Alaska is not nearly
so bad as most people imagine. Mr..
Donohue states that in the interior as
good vegetables as are obtained in
the states are raised. He says that
during the months of June, July and
August the sun shines continuously.
There is no frost and the vegetables
grow rapidly.
The Yukon river is navigable for a
distance of 21O0 miles, the Kiacuck
for $50 miles, the Tannana for 400
miles, the Stewart for 225 miles, the
Pelly for 400 miles and the White
river for $50 miles. All these rivers
empty into the Yukon.
Mr. Donohue states that the towns
of Dawson and Fairbanks are as mod
ern as Butte. He stated there are
steam heated hotels, electric lights
telephones and all modern conven-
fences for travellers. Mr.. Donohue has
with him some beautiful specimens
of gold ore. many of the nuggets be-
ing of a considerable size

for sliceous ore of this kind.
The tenor of the crude ore in cop
per is about 80 per cent. Owing to
its high proportion Of silca-about 30
per cent---it finds no steady market
but is sold In small lots to smelters
that need silica. The fact that the use
of siliceous converter Innings Is de-
creasng makes the ore more difficult
to dispose of than formerly
The concentrating ore contains
about 2s75 per cent of copper and Is
concentrated to a product that con-
tains 20 to % per cent. The cencen-
trates are all sent to the Tacoma
smelter.
The ore is concentrated by ordinary
wet gravitational processes. The chief
difficulty arises from the minute divi-
sion of the ore minerals, which neces-
states very fine grinding. The saw
ing was not much better than so per
cent at the time of visit, but has since
been increased by the installation Of
certain improvements.
1t appears from the figures of pro-
duction that the ore yields on an av.
erage of about ounces of silver fol-
each 20 pounds Nthat is. for each 'pel

more liable than the copper to loss in
concentration, the silver ratio in the
concentrates being about half as great
as in the average ore,
The Ore.
The principal unoXidized ore of the
Snowstorm mine consists of quartzltt
impregnated with minute particles OF
bornite. chalcocite, and chaleopyrite
The richest ore appears of uniform
dark gray tone; the leaner ore is
lighter and finely dappled or speckled
A relatively small proportion of the
copper ore occurs in veins and bunche.

pecially abundant in the eastern par
of the mine. Tetrahedrte Is said t
be a constituent and is the probabl,
source of the silver. Although thu
greater part of the ore now in sight il
of the disseminated sulphide variety
the oxidiZed ore, which was the chic
product in early years, is still beinl
mined. In this the sulphides have beer
converted chiefly TO malachite bu
partly to cuprite. The carbonate or
is greenish brown, being stained b
limonite. The most thoroughly de
composed ore is soft and of brigh
; red color that suggests a high conten
of ouprite, but this material is said {
be in reality very poor in copper, an
the color is therefore probably due il
theNmain to iron oxide. Malachite wit
some azurite forms thin films on join
faces. The walls Of some drifts o
: the No. tunnel level are gorgeousl
colored with these carbonates, al
though the ore here is lean. Som
oxidation has occurred as far down a

low the outcrop. but the carbonate or

Geologic Conditions.
The workable ore of the Snowstorm
mine occurs for the most part in a
stratum of Revett quartzite. about 40
feet thick. which may conveniently be
referred to by the term in use at the
mine-"the ledge" This ore bearing
stratum is distinguished lithologically
from the rock Immediately above and
below by lis harder and grittier char
aeter The quartzite Of the ledge is
thick bedded and medium grained and
contains very little Sericite; the por-
ton not colored by the copper miner
ais is almost pure white The rock
Immediately above and below the ledge
is more flaggy finer grained, softer
and more greenish. the last two char
acteristics being due chiefly TO the
presence of sericite in considera bic
quantity. The lower limit of the ledge
is the more sharply defined. 1t is
marked by an abrupt change in the
character of the rock and in most
places by a slip, which. however. APP
