MINE OWNERS
 OPTIMISTIC
 OF PROPERTY

Enthusiastic over their property at William Henry Bay, and other possi- bilities for the development of Alas ka, six stockholders in the Alaska Endicott Mining & Milling Company have just returned to Seattle after a trip of inspection of the company's mine. The are: w. P. Hop ping, L. s. Mellinger, s. w. Wilson, coma and E. M. Aldrich of Spokane. EXPERIENCE NEW With MT Hopping and Mellinger the "trip was a new experience and they are both greatly impressed with the coun- try as they have seen it.
 You have great country here with limitless possibilities for deve- opment," they said at Juneau on their way out. we have enjoyed every mo- ment of our visit, and especially the trip to William Henry Bay, where we have witnessed the initial operation of the concentration plant of the Alas. ka-Endicott mine. We feel that this property is destined to play an i'm portant part in the prosperity and de- velopment of Juneau and the vicinity, and we expect to see a town of sev- eral hundred people at William Henry Bay in the near future
 PRESENT OPERATIONS
 We have completed the first unit of our concentration plant, which with the addition of ball mill is expect ed to give us daily capacity of 150 tons. Nature has done a great deal for this mine in the way of giving it cal operation. It was very satisfactory to us to be able to check up and verify the information which we had received in regard to it.
 "An ideal storage condition exists at the site. We have secured our titles from the Federal Power Con- mission covering the power of Boards lee River and have developed sufficient of it to serve a mill of 300 tons daily capacity.
 "A dam less than 50 feet wide in the jaws of a rock canyon impounds the waters of the Beardslee River. The area of the basin exceeds square mile.
 "The pipe line is 4,400 feet long from storage to mill. The static head is 246 feet. The power reserve is suf- ficient to operate 1000 horsepower plant.
 "All of us went underground and saw the ore being broken in the stopes. The vein matter is about 12 feet wide and strongly mineralized, carrying good values in gold, silver and copper.
 with little more expenditure ideal shipping facilities can be created on the dock site.
 we have never seen more beautiful scenery than the outlook across Will jam Henry Bay and Lynn Canal to the towering peaks rising almost direct from the east shores of the canal at Comet and Kensington. We leave Alaska with the most pleasant inn pressions of the country and the peo- ple and with a good deal of expecta- tion and enthusiasm as to the future of our mining property at William Henry Bay"
