CONDUCT MINING OPERATIONS

Much is heard pro and con of :

and particularly in Alaska, but VIVA
has this territory to fear when :
couple OF mere girls demonstrate tina
1t is no trick at all for their sex to dc
successful gold mining?
Up at Pearl Harbor. but forty miles
from Juneau, two young women, Emma
and Margaret Peterson, Just out Of
their teens, have for the past -four
years operated a paying mine. Their
sole assistant has been another capa
BILE woman, their mother.
Their little mill has two stamps
and their great ambition now is to in.
stall a five-stamp equipment. From
sharpening steel, drilling, blasting,
transporting ore, crushing, stamping,
tending amalgam plates and concen-
trating tables, to taking the gold into
town to one OF the banks, the girls are
experts. t'''
Both were born in Juneau, of sturdy,
enterprising pioneer parents, and they
have grown up with and in the coun-
try. They look upon their achieve
ments as everyday affairs. They found
certain conditions confronting them.
They met the conditions and won out
When the reporter first met these
two young women, then neither OF
legal age, they were sensibiy dressed
in khaki skirts and trousers. They
were busy loading lumber on tram
car, which they were hauling thIee
miles by mule team to their mill site,
where they were rebuilding their
home, which had been destroyed a few
days previously by fire. With mod
est excuse that they were mot expect
ing company" they kept on working.
Just before starting out it was found
that one of the mules had cast shoe
during the night Did they wait until
they could take the mule over the
forty-mile trail to the local horse Chi
ropodist at Juneau and back again?
Not at all One got the nails and
hammer while the other hunted up a
new shoe, and in few minutes the
mule was ready for duty.
AS we went up the tramway re-
marked that they had been having
some tagging cut with which to repair
the tramway. "Oh, no, that is some
sister and l cut and split last winter
when we had nothing to do" answered
Miss Emma. There must nave been
at least ten cords of the tagging.
After reaching the mill and site OF
the new house-to-be, they put the
mules in the barn and showed us the
property, that is, what we could see
in two feet of snow The men of
our party calamity suggested that
they should go first and break trails
but before we had started on the re.
turn trip the strongest of the party
was in the lead-and it was not a
man, either.
About six weeks later, when the
writer again visited the mine, there

On this later trip the mill was Wis.

had a new water wheel to furnish
power for the mill. YES said Miss

pair the old one, but it broke down

garet and | took our axes and went
out into the woods, hewed out the
timbers and put in one that would
stand" These girls do a little job
like that just as easily as most women
powder their noses.
Not all of their time, however, is
spent at laborious work. You should
see their library! There are volumes
on geology, mineraIogy, petrology, min.
ing, milling and mine management, by
the best authorities. And you might
not believe it, with the other things l
have told you. but if my memory
serves me right l saw several copies
OF the Deiineator and a work on eu-
genics, too.
How these two young women came,
to be experts in their profession may
be answered by bit of family his-l
tory. Their father and mother came to-
Juneau some twenty-six years ago.
Soon after this Mr.. Peterson and his
partner discovered this likely-looking
Pearl Harbor prospect, and immedi-
ately began development work. Their
father, John G. Peterson. later &C
CURED the entire interests. And it
was under his tutelage that they re-
ceived their practical mining expert
ence.
Refusing handsome offers, Peterson
chung to the prospect to which he had
pinned his faith and backed his judg-
ment with his time and money, and life
itself, for he died at the mine after
nearly, three years of sickness, which
rendered him helpless during that
time.
1t was during these years of train
ing under their father that they
learned mining, and it was during his
sickness that they showed the stuff
of which they we're made. Unaided|
and alone, backed by their mothers
help and courage, they kept the mine
producing from early spring until the,
deep winter SHOWS interfered.
They take trip Outside now and
then, and went to Europe, too before
the war. Certainly no one begrudges
them their good times, for they have
earned them, if any one has. They
are a credit to themselves, to their
parents, to Juneau, the town of their
nativity, and to all of Alaska.-Juneau
