The large banner offered at the
free county fair for the best exhibit
of corn was awarded to the Bethyl
Union school while a similar ensign
was given TO the cub members of
the Rentie school for It's superior
display of cotton Both Of these eN-
hibits attracted much attention at tho
fair
Doctor Earnhoart declared yester-
day that this county should grow bet
ter corn. He claimed it was inferior
corn that prevented the Tulsa exhibit
from being better than fourth prize
winner at the recent state fair at
oklahoma city He is setting about
TO remedy this and will give enough
good seed TO any boy who wants to
plant an isolated acre of It.
A new feature of the work for next
year will be the organizing Of baby

beef cattle among the boys Of Tulsa
county. The award will be $50 and
will be made for the best exhibit at
the next free county fair. An IN.

in the pig club is also announced.
These enlarged rewards and new
features are certain to make for
more concerted effort In working for
the prizes and should be the means Of
having one or more clubs organized

struction and development, at least in this district.
 In fact, in view of the interest which has been shown in connection with such construction and develop ment by all of the mining operators throughout the country the results ob- tained will undoubtedly have a strong influence on the operp:ion of low grade properties not alone in Alaska but throughout the world.
 The Alaska Gastineau Mining Com pany owns and controls approximate ly three miles in length on the lode system in the locally known Silver Bow Basin District. In fact, the first step in the organization of the con- pany was the bringing together of the smaller groups so that there was a large enough ore zone and great enough tonnage under consider ation to permit of the financing and operation of these properties on a proper scale.

1t would be low grade as such. and then carrying on mining and milling operations on a sufficiently extensive scale so that the working costs would be low enough to permit of a small margin of profit.
 This evolution has reached it's final stage. considering 1t from this view point, in the operations carried on in and adjacent to Juneau at the present time. and is under consideration in the study of all of the other deposits now being developed and studied in the various areas north and south of Juneau.
 The first to reach this class were the Treadwell mines on Douglas Isl and. The history of their oper- ations is too we'll known to re- quire discussion in this article but it is interesting to note that these mines have produced to date approximately sixty millions of dollars, are now

Bay district forty miles north of Ju. neau.
 from these areas the production in gold at tnls time shows that the dis lrict south of Juneau has produced in the neighborhood of a million dollars; the Treadwell lode system about six ty million dollars; Silver Bow Basin district, three and one-half millions; i; and the districts north of Juneau two million. or total sum of approximately sixty-seven millions. Practically all of this has been produced from the lodes or veins and only a small pro- portion from the placers adjacent to such veins.
 This showing gives the district a substantial standing, and particularly so when it is taken into consideration that there has been a constant and gradual increase in the yearly output eliminating in last years output of nearly five millions.
 The past history and development of the operations throughout this whole area has determined certain important characteristics in the Ju- neau Gold Belt, viz, that although there is some difference in the char acter of the ore as found in the va rious localities the general resem- blance of the ore bodies and the for ic eNr ;ly;1 All of the experience and knowledge brought to bear on this subject not alone by the government geologists but by the various engineers who have studied it has determined that the genesis of all of these deposits is the same, and that from a general stand point the results obtained in develop ing one area, so far as continuity of values are concerned, may be accept ed as standard of what may be ex- pected in all of the areas.
 There are certain special features which deserve mention and which have definite bearing on the future of the district. The most important of these is that throughout the whole Pa cific Coast this is one of the few places where the mineral zone lies directly on and adjacent to the natural chan nels of water transportation. Second, the high mountains forming the hang ing wall of the lode system act as a bulwark and precipitant to the mois- ture laden atmosphere coming in from the ocean creating conditions favora. ble to the development of cheap and abundant hydro-electric power. The third feature is that the lode system, so far as determined, has such metal. lurgical characteristics as to permit of simple and easy extraction of val. ues.
 These three factors are necessary to and actually make possible the cheapest known working costs so far obtained anywhere in the world, which is the keynote to the operations in this par ticular district.
 The deposits already being develop ed are unlike those of Goldfeld, Co bait or other high grade sections, but
The Alaska daily empire., 1915-01-01

This consolidation was effected early in the year 1911, and, after very careful study of the deposits which had been carried on for two years previous to that time and of the results obtained by the operations pre- viously carried on, a general devel. opment and construction program was decided on and financial arrange. ments made commensurate thereto.
 This program may be briefly de. scribed as follows: The mine was to be developed through a system of levels, oreways and the preparation of stopes so that 1t would be in a posi- tion to deliver economically at least six thousands tons of ore per day Compressors, machine shops. boarding houses and all other accessories ne cessary to such operations were to

In the beginning, the earlier
 prospectors attempted to work the
 larger and higher grade stringers en- countered in these masses. The ir- regular nature of these as a rule made this impossible of success and
 eventually led to the organization of smaller mining companies who at- tempted to mine and mill certain sec tions of these areas by mining all of the rock and hand-sorting from the whole mass the quartz carrying the mineral and gold. In a few instances this operation was successful to a linn. ited degree but viewing the district from a large standpoint we can now see that this second step naturally led to the one which is now being carried out, viz. of considering the whole mass as the ore body, recognizing that

THE recent extensive developments
 in the mining fields adjacent to
 Juneau. the capital of Alaska, have brought the district into such general prominence that some little study of the past history, its pres ent position and its future outlook should be of general public interest
 In recent years the mining industry, not alone in America but generally speaking all over the world, has i'm proved its position not so much though the discovery of new mining districts but rather through the scien- tific study and enlarged development of old deposits. By bringing to bear on the problem the three necessary elements, viz, modern business meth ods, large sums of money and high class engineering. it has been possible to work ore on an extensive scale which only a few years ago was en- tirely out of consideration.
 The same evolution which is mark ing all of the industries of modern life may be said to apply directly to mod ern mining and is particularly illus trated in the history of this district.
 Gold in the form of placer was first discovered in this district at Sumdum. "indham Bay, in the year 1870. In 1880. Joe Juneau and Richard Harris landed at the mouth of Gold Creek and discovered float followed its lead up into Silver Bow Basin. finding at the same time the Silver Bow Basin pla- cers and the lode system nearby. Fol lowing this discovery there was a rush into the district in the year 1881. The town was first named Harrisburg, in honor of Richard Harris, but later was changed to its present name of to the present, a period of thirty-five years, this district has witnessed a gradual but continuous expansion and development.
 Through the efforts of prospectors and mining companies and the United States Geological Survey the limits and boundaries of the Juneau Gold Belt have been extended and defined so that at this date we have a fairly well recognized zone. extending from Windham Bay, on the south, on through Juneau to Berners Bay on the north. all contributory to the town of Juneau.
 Although the naturalization of this belt Is fairly continuous and persis- tent throughout, there are certain de. finite areas or localities which have received a greater amount of develop. ment and prospecting and where the naturalization has been stronger and more pronounced. These localities at the present time may be roughly de. termined as follows: The Windham Bay and Sumdum district forty miles south of Juneau. the Treadwell lode system on Douglas Island, the Silver Bow Basin district just back of Jul neau, the Aux Bay district fifteen miles north Eagle River district twen ty.five miles north. and the Berners

thousand tons of ore every twenty four hours.
 | The milling plant, so far as gold mining is concerned, is metallurgi- cally new, both as to the grinding of the ore and as to the extraction of the values. The equipment throughout is of the highest class that money can buy and the plant as a whole stands in the front rank as an illus tration of modern science and engin- eering.
 The actual results obtained from the operations already carried out ex- ceed the original estimates. That is to say. working costs are already less than the original estimate of seventy five cents. So far as values are con- cerned, there Is a general misunder- standing regarding this subject which might be we'll pointed out. For in- stance, in the development of these large low grade masses various sec tions will naturally have higher or lower grade values both in depth and lateral extent. If any definite value is placed on the ore which is to be handled to the mill the tonnage in the deposit will necessarily be limited to that particular value, whether such value be placed at one dollar per ton or five dollars per ton. This Is man. ifestly an incorrect way of handling the enterprise. The value of the ore milled should be and is dependent on the working costs and the losses. It may be confidently stated that the working costs and losses in these par ticular properties under consideration can be brought within eighty cents per ton. Therefore, anything above eighty cents per ton Is profit, that is to say: one dollar ore would mean twenty cents profit; dollar and a quar- ter ore would be forty-five cents pro- fit. and dollar and a half ore would give seventy cents profit.
 Therefore if the capitalization of the company is taken into consider ation and fair rate of interest con- sidered on such capital the protfis necessary to pay a reasonable inter- est on such capitalization is the deter mining factor and the value of the ore which will be mined and milled will be based on such figures. This method immeasurably increases the tonnage available in the mine and de creases the working costs in like proportion.
 In connection with this statement of unusual low costs of operation which are now being obtained on the proper ties situated in Silver Bow Basin, it might be we'll to mention at this time that 1t does not follow that ali low grade deposits situated in this district, or elsewhere for that matter, are capa. ble of being worked with the same re- suits. Nor does 1t follow that lodes having similar charactistics SO far as appearance are concerned are neces. sarily mines in the making.
 As a matter of fact, when 1t is con- sidered that the margin of profit over and above working costs Is SO small and that immense sums of money are required to equip and operate this type of property, 1t can readily be seen that ventures of this sort can only be undertaken after the most careful consideration and study fol. 1 - --------------- Continued on Page Eleven)

crushing close to five thousand tons of ore per day, and are mining ore having a value of approximately $2OO per ton from which a margin of profit varying from fifty cents to $1.OO is be- ing made.
 The second deposit of the same class which has reached the operating period is the Alaska Gastineau Min ing company, owned and controlled by the Alaska Gold Mines Company, and as the organization, development and equipment of this property has occurred in the last three years per mitting the very latest knowledge, ex- perience and skill to be brought to bear on the problem, a discussion of the methods used will be of particu- lar interest as 1t sets a standard in a general way for all similar con.

be constructed adjacent to the mine in Silver Bow Basin At Sheen Creek, situated four miles below Ju neau on Gastineau Channel, a milling plant having a capacity of six thou. sand tons per day, with machine shop carpenter shop, boarding houses, etc, and all other necessary equipment was to be erected.
 A railroad from the mine to the mill eighteen thousand feet in length twelve thousand feet of which was tunnel. was to be built on a basis large enough to transport the ore from the mine to the mill.
 At Salmon Creek, four miles north of Juneau, where it was possible to obtain storage by the construction of a dam so that an capitalized flow of wa. ter could be obtained throughout the year, variable radius concrete arch type of dam, one hundred and sixty-five feet in height and seven hundred twenty feet on the crest for the purpose of creating such reser. voir and permitting the delivery of at least six thousand all-year-round electric horsepower to the mine and mill
 This program entailed the expend, iture of approximately five millions of dollars and was to be completed and the first section of the mill put in operation on January first, 1915.
 The program has been carried out in all of it's details with the exception of the mill which was delayed forty days due to the loss of equipment .Cn board the S. S. Admiral Sampson However, the mill was actually start. ed on the eighteenth of February Since that date the operations have been constantly on the increase so that at this writing between five and six thousand tons of ore per day are now being milled.
 Shortly after operations began it became apparent that the milling plant which had been amply designed would be capable of doing consider. able more than originally planned and was capable of handling from ten to twelve thousand tons per day.
 An increase of the earlier program was inaugurated during the year 1915 which entailed the increasing of the mine operations, the development of further hydro-electric power so that the milling plant could be brought up to its full capacity of from ten to twelve thousand tons per day early in the year 1916, and at this writing such additional construction and develop. ment work necessary thereto is being carried on in conjunction with the present operations.
 For instance, the company was for tunate enough to obtain at Annex Creek, tributary to Taku Inlet, a second possible hydro o-electric develop ment which would permit of an initial installation of four thousand horse power and an ultimate installation oi twelve thousand horsepower. The in itial installation is now under con struction and will permit the mill tc come up to its full capacity. There after final development of this power program will be carried along con temporaneously with the additions tc the mill and the development work al the mine until the entire plant it handling a maximum of twenty

The small stringers and lenses while high grade are in most instances impossible of being worked by themselves, and as a result the area as a whole, stringers and intervening country rock, make up the ore bodies.
 The evolution, so far as the working of the deposits in this district is con- cerned. is emphasized by the follow ing facts:
