ALASKA MEAT DEALERS
 BE GIVEN OPPORTUNITY
 I0 PURCHASE REINDEER

Believing that there are several
 irms in Southern, South Central
 Id Southeastern Alaska, who would become large distributors of choice .eindeer meat among the people oi Alaska of those sections where rein leer meat is not easily obtained, i ..as been decided to give the meat
 ealors of Alaska the opportunity ot securing reindeer meat from the U s. S. Boxer at wholesale prices, an nounces the Alaska department of the Bureau of Education.
 Five hundred reindeer will be slaughtered under the Government supervision of superintendents and reindeer supervisors from the herds of KiYalina, Point Hope, Kotzebue and Wales, Alaska. These deer will be hung for proper bleeding, the hides removed, and the carcasses cooled from AS to 50 hours or long CT, allowing the animal heat to es- cape. They will then be wrapped in new cheesecloth with burlap cover ing and placed in the cold storage compartments of the U. 5. S. Boxer. The careasses average about 13o pounds, dressed weight.
 The U. S. S. Boxer is expected te call at ports along the southern and southeastern coast of Alaska be tween October 25 and November 10, to make deliveries of reindeer meat ordered through the Bureau in re- sponse to this announcement. In quantities of more than 1,OO0 pounds, they are offering this meat to Alaska dealers at the price of 15 cents per pound, from which sales the proceeds, above the actual cost of marketing go to the native reindeer owners from whose herds the deer were slaughtered.

PLANE PASSENGERS GAZE
 INTO ACTIVE VOLCANO

pr. W. T. Morse of the Anchorage hospital staff. who left for Iliamna 5y airplane to investigate a report of an epidemic among the natives of that district, enjoyed the rare expa- rienee of passing over a live volcano 5n the flight to the westward. Pilot
 by R. II. Merrill the plane left he Lake spenard base and set a course for Iliamna. As they ap- preached the mountain. the plane rose and passed over at height of about 1.O00 feet above the top of the volcano, from which point tle occupants were able to obtain z splendid view of the crater from which considerable smoke and gas were issuing at the time.
 Instead of being on top of the mountain. the crater has the form of a long crack along the side, about 1000 feet below the highest point It is estimated that this crack is a mile in length and at the height from which it was viewed it appear ed about as wide as a city sidewalk. It is undoubtedly wider. perhaps 25 feet, or even more. The plane registered a height of 14,O00 feet as 1t passed over the volcano, but A. Cope. the meehanician of the com pany, who accompanied Pilot Mer- Till and Dr. Morse. is not certain the plane was that high They were up more than 10000 feet. however he is sure.
 In addition to observing gas anf smoke actually issuing from the side of the mountain. the occupants saw what they believed to be fresh lava, which had poured down the slope quite recently and remained fully exposed to view, while the earlier flows were covered with snow This lava has a formation somewhat like stairs.-Anchorage Times.

Ditch Work

After much reconnaissance work and several level lines run, the up per part of the ditch line was located to start from Bucks Gulch at the falls ending at the reservoir site above Lyons Gulch, a distance Of 14,500 feet of ditch and 2,00O feet of Hume. The survey designated the lower part of the ditch to start at the reservoir site, crossing Lyons Gulch by 800 feet of Hume on a tres tie, and 15,250- feet of ditch to a point where the water will De dropped to the lower level. FroEl this point the water is picked up and carried by ditch 1,200 feet to a point above camp. The water is then carri d by 775 feet of Hume to the penstock and pipe line. This To- cation semed the best and most eco- nomical.
 ''The ditch right of way was cleared from Lyons Gulch to the drop at the lower end, distance of 15,250 feet All brush and timber was cut and moved to the lower side The stump pulling with the Fordson tractor was not quite completed.
 "0n Septem Der 5th we moved the ditch camp to Lyons Gulch and started trestle work with a small crew and made good progress until we closed camp for the season, only few bents remaining to be placed. This trestle is 800 feet in length and 3S feet at the highest point. A few days will complete this work.

SALMON ESCAPEMENT
 INADEQUATE SAYS WYNN

T found the escapement of salm. on most satisfactory north of Sitka, poor along the west coast of Bara- noff Island and spotted along the mainland," said Dennis Vim, Al aska Agent for the United States Bureau of Fisheries, who returned on the Bureau of Fisheries boat Brant from an inspection of the spawning beds of southeastern Al aska.
 The Brant made the circuit by way of Sitka, along the west coast of Baranoff Island to Ketchikan and returned along the m n a n d through Frederick Sound and Ste phen's passage. All of the import ant streams on this route were in7 spected by MT. Vim to estimate the escapement of the season.
 "In a few areas along the main land the escapement was very good, and in others it was so small ass to be negligible.
 "No excessively heavy volume was found at any point, and though the situation shows improvement It IS not sufficiently improved to warrant excitement. I would consider the escapement so far, entirely made ouate." MT. Vim declared.-Juneau Empire.

5KAGWAY MINING co.
 TO BUILD TRAMWAY
Recent howings on Property Near Summit and White Pass Rail-
 way Justify Outlay

The Inspiration Point Mining Company of Skagway has continued development of it's property located near the international boundary line to the extent that shoWings jus tify the construction of tramway to carry ore from the mine to the nearest point on the White Pass Railroad, a distance of $500 feet, or fraction less than two-thirds of a mile.
 At present there are several tons of ore on the dump at the shaft which assays an average of $4S to the ton in silver and lead and the vein is increasing in width and rich ness as depth is attained.
 To meet the expense of installing the proposed tramway the company is placing some stock on the market at a par vaule of 25 cents per share much of which is being subscribed in skagway, where the value of the property is better known than else where. It is believed that with the installation of the tramway the mine will not only be on a self supporting basis but that dividends will be paid as well.
 The ore cropping where the shaft was started was between two and three feet wide. but has consistently widened with depth until indica- tions suggest yeritable mountain of high grade mineral, making Of 1t a proposition well worth investigat- ing by those having idle money Small samples of the ore can be seen at the office of The stroller's Week ly.-Stroller' Weekly.

Plans for the Future

Mr. Bryant was asked how much more development work there is tc be done before production will be- gin, and the extent of the operations contemplated. He said:
 "The season of 1928 should see the completion of all ditehes anC fumes, the pipe line installed ana the sluiee Hume ready for operation, leaving everything in shape for full season of mining in 1929.
 There is a tunnel driven in on the old channel for a distance of 1,350 feet from the lower end. There is also a tunnel and open GU! workings on the upper end.
 Taking an average depth of loo feet of gravel the lower tunnel showed values of $1.124a per cubic yard. All indications and data indi- cate that the ground will go better than the above estimate, as the esti mate does not take in ahy values il gravel above the tunnel workings. It is a known fact that good pay streak exists in this gravel TO feet above the bedrock.
 "The estimated cost of operation is g cents per cubic yard. The esti- mated yardage in 24 hours is one cubic yard of gravel to one miners inch of water. When employing 2,OOO miners inches of water 2,0O0 cubic yards should be handled every 24 hours, and at this rate it is esti- mated that 10 years will be consum- ed in working out this channel.
 That this ground is an ideal hy draulic proposition is indicated by the fact that there are 1000 miners inches of water available under a 300 vertical foot head. and a dump of S5 feet into Dease Creek for the tailings"
The Wrangell sentinel., 1927-10-13

At the mining property a perma- nent camp site was located at very favorable place on top of the Me Grimmon bench. and back from the property to be mined, and also over looking Dease Lake in the distance A stream of water, ice cold and clear, coming from springs above on the hillside, furnished an ample sup ply of water all through the dry season.
 The camp buildings consist of a bunk house 1Sx42 feet with S-foot walls and one half pitch roof; office, 16x24 feet, S-foot walls, half pitch roof; mess house. 16x26 feet, S-foot walls, half pitch roof; guest house, I4xl6 feet 8-foot walls, half pitch roof; meat house, 10x10 feet. S-foot walls, hip roof and screened all around sides, ventilated top and bot tom; tool house, 12x14 feet, S-foot walls, half pitch roof. The roofs of all these buildings are covered with heavy roofing, the sides with heavy tarred sheathing paper and batten- ed. With the exception of the bunk house and the tool house, the paper for these buildings did not arrive in time to be put on before we left, but will be put on by the watchman this fall. The buildings are all well lighted and substantial, the roofs well braced against snow weight.
 .On July 21st we started swamp ing and clearing wagon road to the ditch line a mile and a quarter above camp. On August 9th we moved tents to ditch line and made camp favorable for both ditch and sawmill crews. On August 7th the sawmili was moved to the ditch line. We logged, hauled and sawed 25,000 feet of lumber-20.OOO feet for Ly- ons Gulch Hume and 5000 feet for camp use. We finished saving at this location August 18th. The crew being small all hands were put on ditch work.
The Wrangell sentinel., 1927-10-13

sible and economical to have this work done during the winter months Mr. c. Larochelle. an ex- perienced woodsman and sawyer was given a contract 10 saw and deliver all necessary lumber and timbers during the winter. his contract to be completed by May 1st. 1928. By this arrangement valuable time is saved in spring work and we will have the use of the Fordsou and cat erpillar for ditch work and hauling
 "A watchman experienced in the country was left in charge of the camp and supplies. He will work during the winter months clearing and burning brush and timber near the camp, cutting wood, etc. and keeping a careful watch on all build ings and equipment.
 "on account of the small crew and the Iateness of the season it seemed advisable to close camp or the night of September 2Sth. All tents and supplies were moved in and stored and put in shape for the winter. We left camp on the morn ing of September 29, closing our sea son for 1927"

Permanent Camp Buildings

"The road crew and the mill crew both completed their work on July 18th. Two days later we moved eamp two miles over the new road in the site selected for permanent camp buildings. On July 21st we started on camp construction with two men and on September 18th the six buildings were practically com pleted. A log building on Dease Lake, size 16x24 feet, roofed over with lumber and covered with neaVy roofing paper, was constructed for use as a warehouse.

An Ideal Hydraulic Proposition With 2,OOO Miners Inches of Water Available Under a 300 Foot Vertical Foot Head and Dump of 85
 Feet Into Dease Greek for Tailings.

A. H. Bryant. a well known min ing engineer, who is now manager of the Joy Mines Limited. arrived in Wrangell a few days ago from the Cassiar where the property of his amrany is located. When seen at the Wrangell Hotel MT. Bryant said there was no news of particular in terest concerning his company, as the season has been spent wholly in development work. When urged to tell something concerning the na- ture of the development work that has been done, Mr. Bryant said:
 As you probably already know our holdings consist of an old high i.a4.ut on ncase Creek in the Iiard Mining District This property is known as the McCrimmon Bench and consists of. two leases each 1.500 by 2.5O0 feet, or 5000 feet, up and down stream and over 100 feet in depth.
 We left WrangelI for the proper ty on May 31st with a crew of eley- en men all told We arrived at Telegraph Creek on June 2nd. Ow- ing to the bad condition of the road from Telegraph Creek to Dease Lake no trucks or freighting had been al lowed. On June 3rd we were per mitted to go as far as Cariboo Camp, 36 miles, with two trucks carrying camp equipment, provisions and men. Here we made camp and re- mained until the morning of June 9th when we were permitted to con tinue our journey at our own risk. We found the road in bad condition, but made Dease Lake about 10:30 the same evening. On June 11th we secured boat transportation for men and outfit to Laketon, arriving there at 10 o'clock in the forenoon. We made camp on the shore of the lake, cut wood and put tools in shape for work.
