PAPER MILL PROJECT
 LIKELY FOR WRANGELL

-'t & (Wrangell Sentinel.) F
 J. G. Calvin, who has been in the East several months, returned to WrangeIl on the Seattle Tuesday. ! When seen at the Wrangell Hotel by the Sentinel reporter Mir. Calvin was asked concerning rumors that had preceded his coming regarding a gigantic project for the manu- facture of pulp and paper.
 MT. Calvin said: T feel that 1t is a little too soon to do much talk ing. However, l do not deny that am working on a pulp and paper proposition of considerable magni- jude, and the progress that and my associates have made thus far is entirely satisfactory.
 We plan to establish in the vii cinity of Wrangell paper mill hay ing capacity of 200 tons of news print paper daily, and have already made arrangements whereby we can dispose of 200 tons daily for 10 years.
 George F. Hardy, one of the ablest pulp and paper engineers in America, has estimated the cost of the proposed mill at $7,0O0, 1000. En- gineers and cruisers are due in Wrangell in few days.
 The first survey will be made at Mill Creek and Virginia Lake We plant to construct 50-foot dam at the outlet of Virginia Lake.
 Tt is our intention to bring to- gether sufficient water power for the manufacture of 200 tons of paper daily, which in round nufn- bers would require 10000 horse power.
 Tt has been estimated that the "cost of logging and towing in this vicinity will be cheaper than at any other place on the Pacific Coast.

This was the first party oi miners n cross the Chilkoot or Dyea Pass to the valley of the Yukon.
 Bean, it is said, was concerned in many other of the pioneering expedi- tons of the country and figured in many of the enterprises of the time. He took one of the claims of the Treadwell group of mines, the claim hoing staked by Bean and Sol Math- ews end was known as the Bean Claim" He received a very small < consideration for the claim, about as much as, an hours run of the quartg mill in 1885.
