and was responsible for a large share
of the extensive work done on that
pr perty. At the present time Mr.
Jaottne has a small electric tin smel
tei in Seattle which has proven high
Iv successful in the reduction of tin
ores. The mill has a capacity of one
ti n per day, which is quite sufficient
to a.eet the present demand owing to
the shortage of tin ores on the coast,
but which can be easily enlarged to
meet increased demands.
The schooners Alaska, Arctic and
Silver Wave are the sole occupants

charged the greater portion of its car
go of specimens obtained during the
long stay in the Arctic but will not

The largest shipment of gold ore
to leave this section of Alaska will
depart on the Victoria for the out
1 side. The ore is from the quartz body
found on the property of the Dakota*
Alaska Company last fall and will con
stitute the first real conynercial ship
ment of gold ore from this district.
Hundreds of sample shipments have
been made at intervals during the
past years of the camp’s history but
this will be the first real big thing
in this line. About five hundred sacks
of the shipment are already on the
dock and more will probably follow
if the departure, of the steamer is de
layed. Mr. Cochrane reports that no
, further attempts are being made tc
sink on the property as it Is rather
hard to proceed with this class of
development owing to the other opera
tions interfering. The ore eomposing
the present shipment is entirely from
the surface.
Albert Matson will leave Tuesday
morning for the fishing camp on Pil
grim river. Will leave every Tuesday
and Friday for the camp. Information
can be scoured at Streeton’s office.
