REDUCTION PLANT AND
 SHELTER TO BE BUILT
 AT SULZER THIS SPRING

w. H. Adams, president of the Alas ka Jumbo Metals Company, is now at Sulzer and states that a reduction plant or a shelter that will handle all erected at Sulzer this spring. Speak ing of impending plans, MT. Adams says:
 Our work at the present time is re- pairing the old buildings and wharves, getting the power plant in good run ming order, the ore bunkers and other mine equipment in readiness for oc- cupation. The property at Sulzer has lain idle for the past six years and all of the buildings were badly in need of repairs. A pile driver crew is steadily at work repairing the wharves and by the first of April we expect to be in shape to make an announce ment to the people that will mean something for the Ketchikan district.
 "There are approximately twenty mlneS on HrlHCe or WdleS lSlaHu alone which show commercial values and which will immediately become paying properties as soon as reduc- tion plant will have been established, but which, owing to prohibitive trans portation costs to the smelters so far away, can not now be worked at profit.
 "Our plan is to take care of all these small properties and those operating small properties can take one ton, or even fractional amounts of ore to the reduction plants and get their check for the amount as a farmer would for his load of produce. Small mines op- erating within a hundred miles of Sul ger can load their ore on gas boats or small barges and get their money immediately the ore is assayed, receiv- ing the value to which they are en- titled on all by-products of the ore.
 "The reduction plant will handle all the gold and silver, together with the other minerals which will be fused into copper mats, weighing 25O pounds each, in which form they will be shipped to the worlds markets
