BRADLEY HERE ' AFTER VISIT
 TO INTERIOR
Widely Known Mine Operator Investigated Mineral Pros poets of Yukon and In
 terior of Alaska

in other big properties, arrived in Cordova recently and is awaiting boat for the south.
 MT. Bradley, who has been visiting the various mining centers of British Columbia, Yukon territory and Alaska, was compelled to cut short his stay in the Interior owing to the receipt of disquieting news of labor troubles in the Occur d'A1enes, where the great Bunker Hill and Sullivan mine is located, and his desire to be within reach of telegraphic commu- nication. He states that a general strike of Occur d'Alene miners is in progress, all the mines there belng affected with the single exception Ot that under his management, which has enjoyed a period of industrial peace for twenty years past, ever since the great labor troubles of that section which kept the whole state of Idaho in a turmoil for so many years, and which resulted in mur- der, arson and dynamiting, the assas- sination of a governor and the sensa- tional trial of Mover, Haywood and PettibOne.
 Mr. Bradley had intended to view the mining possibilities of the Fair banks district, as well as those Ot the Broad Pass and Willow creek sections, but the cutting short of his trip prevented this. However, MT. Wernecke, a mining engineer of great experience, who has been associated with MT. Bradley for many years, is , making a thorough investigation ot the mining possibilities of those sec tiOns, and will make a report of his work to his superior.
 MT. Bradley leaves for the south on the Alameda today.
 MT. Bradley was in Dawson short time ago, and visited the Mayo silver properties. He has been scouting +hruout interior Yukon and Alaska for good mining properties. Thomas Mcdonald of the same company pre- ceded MT. Bradley to Fairbanks. Commenting on his visit, the White horse Star says:
 IF. w. Bradley, president Of the Treadwel and allied mining com panies, who has been in the Yukon territory for the last several weeks, with a party of engineers, looking at mining prospects, will leave on the steamer Selkirk tomorrow night d. rect for Fairbanks, where he has an other party in the field. He is look ing for properties capable of produc- ing concentrates suitable for reduc- tiOn either at the TreadWell cyanide plant at TreadWell, Alaska, or at the Bunker Hill smelter at Kellogg, Idaho, and consequently has not been interested in the Whitehorse copper belt.
 "He has investigated the Taku Arm, Conrad, Mayo and Wheaton dls- tricts. in each of which he has found some promising prospects. Any de- velopment work resulting from any working options that may be taken will be under the local supervision of w. B. Hargraves, and under the general direction of the companies geOlogist, l.. Wernecke.
 Tt is reported that if options result from one of the present negotla- lions an option may be taken on the nronertv of Ernest Johnston, situated about 37 miles west of Robinson sta- tion in the Wheaton district. With thn well-known reputation of MT. Bradley's companies we are assured that work on any property they may become interested in will be prose cuted vigorously and we confidently look forward to the development ol that property into producing mlne in the near future.
 '"The advent of the interests which MT. Bradley represents into this dis trict is the most important news which we have had in many a year, and is bound to bring about the awakening of other large concerns to the wonderful mining possibilities of this district and of other parts of the Yukon equally promising.
 "Mr. Jones, Alf Dickson and J. Geary left today in the interests or MT. Bradley to look over promising lode prospect on the Boswell river a tributary of the Hootalinqua."
