FAMOUS CLIFF. MINE WILLSO0N
 BE REOPENED

The assurance that the famous Cliff mine, at Valdez, will be in operation within a short time is most encour- aging news to the residents of Alaska.
 This information was obtained from F. G. Mudgett a mining engineer, who is secretary-treasure and our former townsman, Joseph Plant, vice presi- dent of the new company, which re- gently took over the property. They are passengers aboard the steamship Alaska, and are en route to the mine
 The new company, formally incor- porated under the laws of the state of Washington, and known as the Cliff Gold Mining Company, has begun the rehabilitation of the plant and prop erty at Valdez, with several men al- ready engaged and others ready to take active charge.
 With the reopening of the Cliff mine, development and production bulletins will be issued from time to time, as reported by the secretary F. G. Mudgett who has been appoint ed mining engineer in charge of de- velopment and production, and who, in cooperation with the superinten- dent, will report to the trustees and stockholders.
 Several surprises may be in store for the public with the development of the two veins recently proven of good grade and of large tonnage, that each parallels the old middle vein, that proved so high grade in value and which produced over a million dollars during the lease This old vein is pretty we'll developed, having at the present time several thousands of tons of good ore positively blockeds out and ready for mining.
 A large tonnage of good ore is posi- lively blocked out above the water level The lower levels may be pumped out and the salt water foot wall leak" concerted and the drift bulkheaded as soon as possible, or a new working winze sunk on the vein back of the old workings, and the lower level ores thereby reopened.
 The new company anticipates hav- ing thirty to forty men at work by May 1, and that the production will warrant early dividends from opera ton, having a good, sound, financial account from stock sales.
 The apparent oversubscription of the Cliff mine stock, which has been sold for $1 per share in the first offer to the public, appears to be on the verge of jump to $150 immediately and to further increases with the ship ment of gold bullion. This will be particularly noticed with the passage of the $1O per ounce gold subsidy law now before congress.
 Offices of the company have been opened at Valdez, in addition to those opened in Seattle.
