SEND ORE OUT
 FOR TREATMENT
TO DETERMINE MILL METHODS
Two Tons of Gold Quartz from Alaska Bay Property Soon to Join List of Big Producers.

C. P. Topliff, superintendent of the Alaska Homestake mine. made ship ment of 43O0 pounds of ore from the mine to the States on the Admiral Watson. The ore will be given mill and laboratory tests to determine it's gold contents and whatever other val uable minerals it may carry, the tests to be made not only to determine the mineral contents of the ore but to de- termine the best and most economi- cal methods of treating ths~ore to ex- tract it's values. Local assays of the ore, made from samples taken at the various stages of development on this property, have given an average of $75 per ton throughout. The ore shipped was taken from the bottom of a shaft being sunk to determine the values at depth. and it is believed to represent fair average of the ore body.
 This property is situated at Hobo Bay, and adjoins the famous Daley Bennett mine. from which some of the richest ore ever uncovered in this section has been taken. A large amount of development work has been done on the claims. sufficient to warrant the belief that a mill is war lanted, and as soon as the tests on the ore shipment have been made and reported on steps will be taken toward securing the proper milling machin- cry. and it is expected before spring the property will be placed on a pro- ducing basis. The company has been amply financed to carry out the plans contemplated, and the work of devel- opment will be pushed rapidly for ward
