Alaska Premier
 Is Rich In Gold

ore that goes D ounces Tn gold to the ton Is something worth talk ing about, even in a high-grade camp.--and no one has yet had the temerity to call this a high grade camp, in spite of the sweet ening" that occurs in the cross hs- sures cutting through the big low grade veins.
 Yet 35-ounce rock is being taken out of the Alaska Premier right now from a vein that is four feet wide and assays from the fig. ure given above down to five ounces. besides carrying substan. tial values in silver.
 Authoritative announcement of the facts was made by Wm. Me Grew, foreman and one of the or iginal owners of the property, who was in town Friday. "Bill" has been plugging away all winter, with only a small crew. but doing the work in such a way as to ob- tain results.
 The group is situated just south of the international boundary, on the Alaskan side, and within the great sulphide belt in which such properties as the Premier, Indian, Virginia, Daly Alaska, Stoner and others of prominence occur. The Premier is known to carry large percentage of gold in its values, and governmental reports by cngi- neers express the opinion that the proportion of gold in the ores will be found higher as the southern contact of the mineral belt is ap- preached. Results on the Alaska Premier appear to confirm this theory.
 With the opening of spring de- velopment on large scale on this property may be expected, as the people behind the company are mining men of wide experience and financially able to carry out an extensive development program, which had been planned by Sup efintendent fiasry larner for the coming season before l. left on bis present trip Outside,

Daly Alaska On
 Sound Footing

Active development of the Da- ly Alaska is foreshadowed by the payment, into the Bank of Mon treal in Stewart, of the money due the owners under the terms of the bond held by the Daly Alaska Mining Company. The original owners are Dan Davis and Wm. McGrew of Hyder, and Chas. Knipple of Stewart who, besides receiving cash payments from time to time by the terms of the com pany organization agreement, also control large amount of stock.
 The property was bonded last fall by Pat Daly, who spent his own capital in satisfying himself that his judgement as to its value had not been wrong. and then went Outside and organized the Daly Alaska company. with Jesse J. Kahn of Vancouver as presii- dent. The company at once took hold and carried on in a substan- tial way.
 The latter part of last August J. C, Weir, of Weir Bros. & Co.,, brokers. New York, visited the property. MT. Weir is a practi- cal mining man. who has operated in most of the leading camps on the continent. He became so en- unused over the possibilities at the Daly Alaska that before returning to the Metropolis he undertook to underwrte ;:.e treasury stock issue. thus assuming the financing of the development and equipment. His contract calls for certain monthly payments into the treasury anu. protection of the bond unde, which the property is held. Thesc obligations have been met, and c fund IS accumulating this winter 10 enable modem mining, with ma chine drills and all necessary ac- cessories, to begin in the spring.
 Hand mining, which was sus- pended the latter part of Novem- Der, accomplished results that war rant most thorough development of the property. Five parallel ore zones have been defined. some o! which carry large shoots of ship ping ore" and these can all be cut by a working tunnel, starting near the Salmon valley wagon road. It is probable that this will be the next work undertaken.
