 FAMOUS MINE
Jackson, Enroute to Chi
 chagof, A Announces ] Ownership Change

Early resumption of mining de. velopment at Chichagof is fore cast by c. T. Jackson, consulting engineer and a member of the Board of Directors of the Chicha- gof Mines, Ltd, of British Co., slumbia, which is taking over the 5Chichagof holdings of the Chich- agof Development Company. He arrived here yesterday from Se. attle enroute to the mine for ar examination of the property which will not require more than two weeks after which he will report to the company with recommends tions for it's future program.
 sAlready we have added more men to the crew and for the pres ent we will press underground development work Later. l am confident We will resume mining and milling operations he said He leaves tonight for Chichagof. The new company has complet- ed it's deal for the property and all arrangements for the trans fer had been completed just prior to MT. Jackson departure from the States. It is 1000, ,000 share organization One million shares will go to the stockholders in the old organization while the re- mainder will be sold to finance operations. Under the laws of British Columbia it was necea- sary for the company to take up a minimum amount of the stock before it could receive it's grant to do business. For this purpose $125,000 has been deposited in trust" MT. Jackson said. Funds are thus available for immediate launching of an augmented de. velopment program.
 Several of the directors of the old board are retained in the new company's directorate, MT. Jack son said These are: c. A. bdIhS, NdutouNCi, W. h- Sfaotic7 ton, MT. Jackson, R. F. Dupont" Murphy, and C. D Lockwood. One of the new directors is r. w Duthie, prominent Seattle finan- cier who is interested in a num- Der of northern mining properties.
 The Chichagof mine is one of the most famous quarts pr6 per ties in the Territory and was for several years one of the richest producing mines in Alaska. w. k. Rust of Tacoma and assoei- ates took out good fortunes and the original locater, John Tup- bella, likewise collected nice fortune Following a lawsu.- in- yolving the ownership. A few years ago the property was sold to the Chichagof Development Company, which operated without great deal of success until last Fall. About that time a new vein was uncovered and limited amount of development work is said to have indicated good, workable body of rich ore. The reorganization announced by MT Jackson is said to insure ample funds for expanding development and renewing active operations.
