SULZER BALL A MOST
 ENJOYABLE AFFAIR
VinctoFy of Newly Elected Demo cratic Congressman Duly Cele-
 brated in Wrangell

When Hon. Charles A. Slilzer realized that he had been elected to Congress it is doubtfu if he was any more jubilant over the result than one of his Wiangell friends. Dr. Pigg, who has spent every spare moment of hrs time tor the past three months boosting for Sulzer, was just bubbling over with joy. He felt like celebrating, but the doctor never celebrates alone. He arranged a Sulzer ball for Sat urday night at the Rednen's hall. He was not content to have present only those who had helped to elect MT. Sulzer. A special invitation was extended to all Wickersham- ties. The invitation was generally accepted, the Wickershamites be- ing we'll represented.
 Dr. Pigg had on hand limited supply of Sulzer buttons, and as he and Mrs. Pigg received the guests the buttons were placed On coat lapels. With Mayor Grant and other notable Wickershamites wearing the button of the newly elected Democratic congressman 1t looked as if Wrangell had been thoroughly Sulzerzed-
 Everybody present seemed to en- Joy she affair to the utmost. It was a late hour when the strains of Home, Sweet. Home brought the celebration to close.
 In taking leave the guests showered their praises upon Dr. and Mrs. Pigg, one lady declaring that she was. sorry Sulzer could not be Elected livery week.

NATIVE SISTERHOOD
 GIVES BENEFIT DANCE

 Hundred Dollars

The benefit dance and basket social given by the Native Sister hood at the Rink last Friday even ing was huge success. The Native band furnished the music waieh was excellent. =.
 The only person not a Native who had anything to do with the evenings entertainment was Tom Dalgity, who auctioned off the bas- kets. Auctioneers like poets, are born not made. Tom is born auctioneer. He has other procliv- tiles, but 1t is on the auctioneer' stand that he is at his best.
 Between each dance basket was sold. The prices ranged from $. 50 to nearly S1o.
 Although the affair was given by Natives an invitation had been ex- tended to the general public, and there was a goodly attendance of people other then Natives. The hall was full and the gallery was full, and the whirl of gaiety whirled away at lively pace. especially from midnight till bed time.

the next few days. We will work about 20 men on this group of claims all winter in blocking out the ore.
 Tn the Groundhog Basin, about four miles inland from the Lake claims, we have run a tun- nel about 200 feet at about I50 foot depth from the surface show ings. We have also stripped and tren ched down the hill for a dis tance of about 5000 feet on the veins. The ore bodies here av- craze from five to ten feet in width. We have four parallel veins on these properties, and we feel assured of a very large ton- mage from the same. We will work about 20 men there this winter in running the working tunnel, and in blocking out the ore.
 This work will all be done by electric power. One of the pur- poses of my trip to Seattle will be to arrange for an electric pow CT plant which expect to have in operation by the middle of January. The power plant will be installed on Porterfeld creek at the falls about three miles above Lake Virginia. We have a fall of I20 feet at this point and will be able to get ample power for all mining purposes. Later we expect to put in a larger power plant on the beach at the mouth of Mill creek.
 ''Mr. c. s. Hubble, a civil en- gineer, has completed surveys for both of these power projects.
 ''The survey has also been completed for the railroad, which, as l stated to you on a former occasion, will be a little more than ten miles in length, extend ing from the mouth of Mill creek to the mines. Everything is now in readiness for construction work on the railroad to begin as early in the spring as practical.
 Mills and bunkers and docks will be built on the beach for the milling and shipping of ore"

Is Uncovered and Strip ped for a Distance
 of 2000 Feet
Electric Power Plant Will Be Installed
 Immediately

J. G. Calvin, president and general manager of the Bon Alaska Mining Company, who ar rived in Wrangell six weeks ago from New York, sailed south on the Alki yesterday afternoon
 MT. Calvin is making a hurried trip to Seattle for the purpose of purchasing new equipment for the mines, and to arrange for an electric power plant which will be installed just as soon as the necessary machinery can be shipped.
 When seen by the Sentinel re- porter at the Wrangell hotel just before leaving, MT. Calvin said:
 "As 1 stated to you when l first arrived from the east, all the work done this winter will be chiefly in the nature of prelim- mary work. 1 came north for the purpose of getting everything in readiness to rush work in the spring in order that the shipment of ore might begin as soon as possible.
 Since my arrival we have es- tablished camps on the beach near the mouth of Mill Creek. We have built a road from the camp to Lake Virginia (Mill Lake). We have completed a road from the head of the lake to Groundhog Basin, and part of the way to Glacier Basin. We are using pack horses to pack supplies from the beach over the trails to the mines.
 'I was convinced that the Groundhog Basin had the ore be- fore I ever took hold of the Bon Alaska proposition. Recently several new discoveries have been made on these properties, showing that the ore deposits are far greater than 1 realized at the start.
 "On the Lake group of claims vein of high grade galena ore has been uncovered and stripped for a distance of 2OOO feet down the hillside. Assays from this ore run from $6O to $I75 per ton. This is a true vein with we'll defined walls, and its permanency in the sur face is almost a sure indication that the ore extends to a great depth. The vein averages about five feet in width, and is free from its walls on both sides. Winter camps are now being put up on this property, and the tun- nel work will be started within
