FINE ROCK FROM CALL|GHAN'S MINE Port Wells Property Recently Bond ed From Black and Hogan,
 Shows Up Fine.

M. J. Callighan, the mining engi- neer who has taken bond on the property of Pete Black and William Hogan located on Hartman fjord, re turned to Valdez last night on the Brighton, bringing with him several hundred pounds of rock from the property, which he is opening up.
 The rock, which is on exhibition at the Seattle hotel, is equal to any ever brought to town from down the sound The gold can easily be seen al through the rock with the naked eye. One piece, weighing about 60 pounds, would assay well up in the thousands of dollars per ton.
 Hogan and Black were the original locators of the claims and they bonded to Callighan last fall and he in turn has interested Vancouver and Seat tie capitalists. Considerable develop ment work has been done on the claims. The original locators secured contract to drive 200 feet of tun- neling and have completed 165 feet of fit. The tunnel has followed the ore all the way and the lead runs from 3 to 14 inches in width and gives an average return of about $50 ton according to d statement made by MT. Callighan to a representative of the Prospector. He further stated:
 We have depth of 130 feet and are well pleased with the showing made on the property. We will con tinue to block out the ore and when We are certain that enough ore is in sight to justify mill the mill will go in, but not until then. We have spent s4.000 opening the claims and will spend considerable more for de vclorme work"
