Plenty Of Rich Ore In
The Lowest Workings

Satisfactory progress is being
made in cleaning out and retim-
bering the Ocean Wave level on the
Colorado Central vein. Large and
solid bodies of zinc ore, which
were left standing in the mine
when these ores were penalized by
the smelters, are now ready for
extraction as soon as their mill is
ready for their proper treatment.
1t is the intention of the new
company to sink new shaft from
this level in the near future. They
are encouraged in this undertaking
by the showing in the lowest
workings of the mine. in which
large strikes of high grade silver
and lead ore were left standing
because of litigation. From one
small block of ground on this level
more than $2OO.OOO was recovered
by Haggart and company from a
block of ground not more than one
hundred feet square, their ore
averaging $500 per ton for first
class, and second class Sl25 per ton.
These figures are given to show
the great and wonderful posi-
bilities for future production
from this famous property

will Develop Property
On Rich Bard Creek

Crist Brothers of Georgetown
are arranging for an active
campaign of development on their
property on Bard creek during
the coming summer. They have
a large group of claims in one of
the best mineral zones in the dis
trict, that has proved by develop
ment to be the western extension
of the Little Emma, Polar Star,
Junction, and Matilda Fletcher,
for which a large production of
high grade silver ore was had in
the early Sos. Their tunnel is in
over 600 feet. At about 100 feet
from the mouth very promising
lode was encountered, upon which
a drift has been driven for nearly
100 feet. which shows a large
body of quartz carrying galena and
iron and a small streak of sui
phuretts which assays away up in
the thousands.

Sources Of News
An InviOlable Secret

That no newspaper can be forced
to disclose the source OF its in
formation concering articles it
publishes, and that no one can be
forced to tell who wrote the article
was the ruling made by Judge
Baldwin of the circuit court, in
Chicago.
The decision came when at
torneys for garment manufac turers
attempted to trace the autho rship
of a story ascribed to Ben Schless-
niger, president of the garment
workers union, in regard to the
Chicago garment workers strike.

Silver Plume Is Prosperous

More than $4,000 was paid
during the month of April for ores
from the mines tributary to Silver
Plume. The principal producers
were the Smuggler, Mendoza,
Dives. Pelican Seven Thirty, and
the Dunderberg. These mines
have been producing for the past
forty years and have many millions
to their credit, while present con-
ditions would indicate that past
production will be more than
duplicated.

JUNEAU, Aug. 27, (By MaiD.- The United States bureau of fisheries is to take steps to arrange for imme- diate shipments of fresh fish from Alaskan ports to Puget sound. Com plaint has been registered at Washing ton that steamship companies Operat- ing on Alaska runs are not moving iced fish promptly, thereby destroying the fish market, and forcing fishermen to sell direct to the freezers at great ly reduced prices.
 The National agency had Neen re- fused space op the Far-agur for $2,- 900 worth of iced halibut, and could get no information from the Alaska Steamship company regarding space on the MaripOsa.

DROWNS WHEN TAKU
 GLACIER ICE FALLS

JUNEAU, Aug. 25, (By MaiD.- Cave-in of ice from the live glacier at 1aku, resulting in tidal wave and causing the death of Ole Skagen, a fisherman and resident of Tacoma, such ice disturbances as witnessed this week have not taken place there for generations.
 On Thursday millions of tons of ice suddenly settled and a tidal wave at least eight feet high raced across the channel and across the mouth of Taku river and rocked and almost tipped over the scows and fishing boats kept near the point. Ole Skagen was in his fishing boat just off the mouth of TaBu and in the path of the tidal wave when the boat was tipped over. The body was brought to Young's Undertaking parlors. Efforts are be- ing made to communicate with the brother in Tacoma.
 The steamer Spokane on Thursday was unable to get near the glacier, owing to the channel being ohoked with ice.

MINING NOTES

An interesting experiment, which is not without possibilities of consider able importance to the district, is un der way near Cape Nome where Mir. Holland, who represents an aggrega- ton of Oregon mining investors, is engaged in demonstrating the feasi- bility of employing the Neil jigg con centrator, a product of the Union Construction Co.,, of San Francisco, in the extraction of gold from the Ruby beach concentrates. A Mir. Keene is also concerned in the experiments and is understood to be the owner of the ground, which he has leased to the Oregon people. Those who have seen the Neil jigg express the opinion that it is the most practical device for the saving of fine gold that has yet ap- peared on the market, and, in addi- tion can be operated for very little cost as the motive power is supplied with a two-horse power motor. If the tests prove as successful as antici- pated there will undoubtedly be a re- crudesence in beach mining which will be of great benefit to the camp. -:-
