ANT|MONY BEING MINED BROAD
 PASS

William A. Havner, q miner from
 the Broad Pass country, figures on
 shipping antimony ore from his claims during the coming winter. Mr Hav-
 ner has hsen mining antimony. which
 he deseovered in 1914. but the lack
 of trails and water transportation has
 prevented shipping any of it to the smelter. He hopes to make arrange. ments with the government railway
 to handle his product between his claims and Indian river this winter. provided work Is carried on in that vicinity by the Alaskan engineering commission.
 At present MT. Hayner has 25 tons of ore ready to be shipped and if transportation arrangements can be made he hopes to get out 100 tons or more during the fall and winter. The ore from his mine, according to gov ernment. assay, runs 6S per cent, and would bring between s275 and $500 a ton f. o. b. Anchorage.
 When discovered. the anthony lay in a thin blanket, but since the vein has been followed, it has been found to have a dip and tunneling has been necessary to bring the ore out. The vein has become broader as the tunnel was extended and now about three tons are yielded to each foot mined, according to Mir. Havner. The ore lies in 8 pyramid formation with the apex near the surface and the base in the earth. The tunnel has been pushed about 25 feet already, and the farther 1t goes the wider the vein becomes, Mir, Havner says.
 Anthony is one of the metals of the group and is used in type metal bab- bit and in steel hardening. It has very low melting point and is at the same time hard The closely related tin, rumored to have been found in the Broad Pass country, has not yet been discovered, according to Mir Hay ner. stephen R, Capps, Of the geo. logical snryey. now in the Broad Pass region. where he went to ascertain whether tin had been found, exam ined the antimony on Mir. Hayners workings and pronounced it of excel lent quality.
 There is a ledge of copper ore in the saddle between two mountains on one of MT. Havners holdings, which is exposed for 600 feet This ore is now being assayed to determine the value of the copper in it and whether there is gold present, If the ore is of sufficient value it can be mined with a steam shovel and shipped with little trouble, Mir. Havner declares. He has also found free milling gold, running $6.20 to the ton. according to two diff ferent assays. but his present plans are to handle the antimony and work the gold and copper when 1t is pos sible to get in facilities for working them. -
 MT. Havners claims lie between the Big Honolulu and the east fork of the Chulitna and are 35 miles from Indian river, the head of navigation on the Susitna. The railroad surveys come within one and a quarter and three miles. respectively, from his antimony mine, and he is certain to have excel lent transportation facilities when the railroad is finished to the Pass. Mr Havner has yet to market any of his mineral, although he has had his claim nearly three years, and he is exert ing his efforts at this time towards getting arrangements made for the winter.
