ALASKA MINING NOTES

If the property of MT. Merritt Is developed and proves that the pres ent indications are extensive Alaska will have . mining asset that will be of tremendous value to the ter ritory and to the world.
 The ore is 50 highly impregnated with cinnabar that ordinary crush ing and roasting results in large quantities of pure quick. In . few hours enough quick can be produced by one man to supply the entire camp with this valuable element.
 Commercial methods in vogue in the reduction of this ore to the de sired quicksilver is to roast the rock and condense the vapors or gases which result in pure quick silver.
 This winter building will be con structed at the point where the main ledge has been exposed and Mir. Merritt will take out quantity of ore and reduce it to quick. With this end in view he has contracted for roaster, or roasting oven, and will prosecute his production as far as possible before spring.

5000 Tons Per Day


 If the present rate of production is maintained through the remainder of this year, the Alaska Juneau will mine this year approximately 2,260,- 900 tons of ore, surpassing the best years production ever experienced by the Gastineau Company, accord ing to P. R. Bradley, general mana ger of the company. The Alaska Juneau produced in September an average of 7,450 tons daily, and a total for the month of 224,O00 tons, and the present rate of production is slightly in excess of that, said MT. Bradley.
 The main feature of this produc- tion, it was pointed out, is that the ore comes from one level, necessary limiting the output according to space limitations. By making a few minor changes, he said, it will be possible to increase production to 5000 tons daily, which means but an additional trainload per day. A statement of the first eight months operation this year of the company given out from the general office to eastern newspapers showed small net operating profit for the first time since the installation of the big mill and enlarged capitaliza- tion. This statement, which MT. Bradley said Is correct, said:
 "A statement for the first eight months of 1922 by the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company shows profit on it's capitalization of 100000 shares (s10 par) for the first time since 1914. Earnings of August and June were sufficiently large to over come deficits in the other six months oS the year. Tons of ore trammed aggregated 1,3s9,560 tons; tons of ore milled. 71O,740; gold, silver and lead recovered, s876,600.
 "Total expenditures during the eight months were $676,0Oo; profits from operations. $133,60O; interest on funded debt, $12S,5o0; net, s5 .6OO."
 The rate of recovery of gold since August is being maintained on an even basis at the rate prevailing at the time, it was stated.

Rich cInnabar Strike

Rich Cinnabar Strike
 W. H. Merritt, of Swede Creek. is a recent arrival in Nome from his mining properties on Swede Creek in the vicinity of Bluff and brings with him many samples of Cinna- bar (Hg. S). The samples consist of the rock as found in place and also the pure Cinnabar which has been concentrated by reducing the rock to a powder and then banning the precipitates. MT. Merritt has also subjected the Cinnabar to the roasting process which has given him the pure quicksilver (Hg1. All of these samples are to be seen in the display placed in the window of Lomen Brothers drug store.
 The cinnabar has been found in place and in large quantities, yield ing, 1t is estimated, eight per cent pure cinnabar or mercuric sulphide,
 It is found in four foot ledge with fifteen foot cap of limestone, outcropping along the bluff of Swede Creek. At present the owner is at work running cross cut about 200 feet from the discovery point, so to determine the extent of the ledge Properties controlled by MT. Mer- ritt extend about one and one half miles in the general direction of the ledge.
 The gravels surrounding and GOV ering this deposit of cinnabar are heavy carriers of gold and in fact the two elements are inseparable in this particular section of the coun- try. Where cinnabar is found there also is found gold, as soon as the cinnabar disappears the gold like wise is absent This condition has been examined by MT. Mimmler, the government engineer who was at Nome last summer, and he has stated that the cinnabar deposit contains the source of the Swede Creek gold.
 At the present time there are but three large, commercial deposits of cinnabar in the world, they are found in Spain, California and Ger many. In fact the entire quick sill yer supply of the world at present depends upon the production of these three mines.

the legend. . white man was found drifting about in Frederick Sound between Cape Fanshaw and Juneau In m Indian canoe, He was nearly starved. nearly crAsy and had with him one or two sacks ot coarse gold.
 He was taken to town and cared for but would never return to the place where he secured the treasure. seemingly having horror of the place too powerful to overcome. Ac- cording to his story, himself and two others had been mining on | river soma distance from the beach and at the edge of half moon lake at the mouth of . small side stream had discovered rich gold deposits.
 They built dam in the side creek to secure water. built crude rocker and stone cabin, and had then washed out considerable of the pre- cious metal. Returning to camp one day this man had found his two murdered, seemingly by Indians. He had taken the treasure and fled over the mountains, cross ing three ranges and had come out at tide water at small Indian vil- lage or settlement. During the night he had stolen canoe and had man. aged to make his escape and drifted about until picked up.
 Since that time, from the early days until as late as last year, par ties of prospectors and single men have been searching for the lost claim. These men have invariably started in from Port Houghton and have crossed the ranges of noun tains to the headquarters of Farra. gut River, but on reaching the lakes have become confused owing to their inability to find the half moon lake as described.
 About five or six years ago, Jap. outfitted by Sing Lee, the well known Petersburg merchant, spent two months in the Farragut Bay country and came out with two bags of gold, one course and one fine, but never returned to the diggings and did not divulge where he got it.

Famous Claim Relocated

The famous Lost Rocker" placer gold claim for which prospectors have been searching for the past 30 years has been rediscovered and To-
 cated by J. U. G. Morrison on the head waters of Farrugut River at Petersburg. MT. Morrison has locat- ed eight claims and next season will start the work of actively developing them. MT. Morrison said that he has found and rebuilt the old stone cab in left by the original discoverers and also the old rocker which they used in extracting their gold. The old dam built by yellow cedar in a side creek to furnish water for their rocker was also found and MT. Nor rfson brought back pictures to prove his assertion.
 He says that from indications found, the place where he located the pay was formerly a half moon lake formed by a rim rock holding back the river. Later this wore away and the lake has disappeared, but the formation Is still there. It is located at the lower end of g canyon where the river makes a sharp elbow turn against g large rock, the gold being washed out of the canyon above and deposited by the water as 1t makes the turn, ac- cording to MT. Morrison.
 The history of the Lost Rocker is one of interest and one which has fired the imagination of miners and prospectors of Alaska for years. About 30 years ago, according to

BONDS ARE ACTIVE
At HIGHER LEVELS
Prices Bid Up All Along Line
in Today's Busy Two
Hour Session.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 2.!An ac-
tive. broad and rising market featur-
ed the two hours of trading in bonds
today.
Continuing. the advance begun
Friday. prices were bid up all along
the line. Perhaps second-grade bonds
were most In favor. Examples are
St. Louis Southwestern Consolidated
is of 1882, which moved ahead on
heavy transactions. This is short
term issue. selling on Z per cent
basis. the obligation of u road which
has shown consistently good earning
power over the past two or three
years and has just resumed dividends
on it's preferred stock. Another In
stance is that of the Hudson and
Manhattan refunding 5s and ad-
justment is, both of which gained
more than point.
Show Good Ratings.
The Hudson and Manhattan has
likewise shown exceptionally good
earning power long enough to entitle
the senior issue to a good investment
rating and the junior issue to specu-
lative favor. The former selling on
Il 4 per cent basis has been attract
ing increasing attention from inves-
tors.
Great Northern Is. among the short
term rails. and Northern Pacific rs,
among those of long term. both re-
sponded to the better feeling. Among
very high grade issues Norfolk and
Western As advanced half point.
Speculative bonds which were in de-
mand included those of the Erie and
the Seaboard. Probably here the i'm
provemcnt represented feeling that
recent prices had more than discount
ed the unfavorahle financial condi-
tion of the two roads.
st. Paul refunding 4hs. another
bond more or less in this class, ad-
vapced more than point.
Foreign Bonds Gain.
Foreign bonds shared the improve
ment shown by dome site issues. The
United Kingdom 5 las of 1929. in SYM
palhy with the rise in sterling ex
change, made 4 new high French Z z S
gained sharply. although there was
no corresponding strength in franc
exchange. Czcchoslovakia ian SO were
also up u point. Today's price repre-
yield. The bond was still only a
point and IA half above the low.
The movement in libertyS was more
irregular. Most of the issues opened
Il trifie lower. but later advanced.
Trading was not on a very heavy
scale.
