The Cordova daily times., 1915-12-10

Boston and New England people are heavily interested in the Valdez Creek Placer Mines, and there seems no doubt that they are to be congrat- ulated on being now assured that their properties in Alaska will be developed under the direction of a most eminent engineer, who knows this particular line of mining activ- ity thoroughly and has proven his ability to cope with any situation that may arise. Nj. Bouery did not make his new contract with the trus- tees of the Valdez Creek Placer Mines until he had gone into the question most thoroughly. He had the offer under consideration for a month When, some time ago, the management of the Valdez Creek Placer Mines learned that his third five-year contract with the Lagrange Mining Company would expire Tn Oc- tober, they made him an offer, al though they hardly dared to hope that he could be had. Now, after careful consideration, he has decided to ac- cept their contract, and ne will
 ,anage their properties for the next five years. Thus, there is accom- plished the best combination that can possibly be obtained for a mining enterprise, a good natural property and manager of tested and proven ability.

MINING EXPERT FUR INTERIOR
 PROPERTY

The engagement of M. Pierre Bou- cry as manager of the mining pro- perties of the Valdez Creek Placer Mines for five years, which the trus- tees have just announced, means that these properties will have highly in telligent development. M. Bouery has for fifteen years been manager of the Lagrange Mine at Weaver vile, Cal, which has long been con sidered an astonishingly successful hydraulic mining property The owners of the property ascribe this success entirely to him.
 The problem which he overcame there seems clearly to have been much more difficult than the work which awaits him at Valdez Creek. He had to bring his water for hy- draulicking 49 miles, and he had to work gravel which would produce only four cents worth of gold to the cubic yard. This he succeeded in do- ing at a real profit. after his prede- cessors had conducted the property at loss. At Valdez Creek these diff ficulties will not be present. The source of the water supply is within two miles of the hydraulic pit, and, according to the expert engineers whom the management has consulted, the gravel will yield 94 cents per cubic yard.
