Bright Reports From Broad Pass Country

w. H. Taulman a wellknown miner, re- gently arrived at Anchorage from the Broad Pass country. He is enthusiastic over the mining possibilities of that region. Highly encouraging results have been obtained in
 prospecting lode claims on the mineralized zone which penetrates that district for an unknown distance, said MT. Taulman, and the indications now are that within few
 years the camp will be one of the best in Alaska. The values are in the arsenides. At some points on the zone copper pyrites have been found, and this ore will have to be treated by smelter, but in most cases 1t appears that the ore will respond to the cyanide treatment. W. E. Dunkle, a mining engineer representing the Guggenheims, is developing group of claims called the Golden Zone group which the big syndicate has taken over under option to purchase at a big figure The Guggenheims have options on some twenty other claims in the Broad Pass country. There are about fifty pros
 pectors in the Broad Pass country and all
 are enthusiastic over the outlook. A store and roadhouse has been established at the mouth of Indian river, the head of naviga- ton on the Susitna river, and from that

Increased Alaska Copper Production

In the Geological Surveys mld-year re
 view for 1915, made public recently, A. Il Brooks reports that there is every reason to believe that the mining industry Of Alaska has begun a prosperous year. The present high price of copper has encouraged the continuation of development work on many copper properties in which operations were suspended in midsummer of 1914. It IS prob able that about dozen copper mines will be on a productive basis in 1915, compared with six in 1914 A considerable increase of copper production will therefore take place. The gold lode production from the Southwestern Alaska, Prince William sound and William creek districts also will be ln- creased this year. The outlook for an ln- creased output for placer gold is also en- couraging. There will be more dredges ,op' erated on Seward peninsula this year than last, and it is also probable that several new dredges may be in operation in other placer districts before the close of the season in addition to the dredges there are number of other placer mining plants of consider able size that will be operated this year tor the first time.
