City Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, JULY 19, 1915.
The announcement that antimony is
rapidly rising in value owing to the
increased demand following the lessen
ing of importations incident to the war
would seem to lie a matter of local in
terest owing to the considerable de
loslts of that mineral known to exist I
n this section. At the present time t
here are several well developed anti- s
■nony mines within a few miles of I
sjome. notably the Sliseovleh mine on i
Manila ('reek and also the mine of the i
[led Brothers which is within a short i
Jistnnce from the city. The last quo- i
utlon received gives the value of this
mineral in the outside markets at 1
,wenty'»elght cents per pound. While i
10 figures are available as to the costs l
,-f mining on a marketable scale in this
district us far as can be ascertained
:he mineral can be handled at a profit
it the price. As un example of the
possibilities In this line of mineral it
may be mentioned that according to
reliable information shipments of the
ore are at present being made from
Chenn by way of the Yukon and Hi.
Michael. A paragraph published in
the Fairbanks papers states that about
one hundred and fifty tons of antimony
ore were shipped from the Scrafford
mine near that city on the steamer
Delta. The article states that the
shipment is the first of several to tie
made as fast as the ore can lie mined.
That there is a market is indicated by
the statement that the ore is being
shipped to the smelter at San Fran
cisco in accordance with a contract
jentered into by the owner during the
past winter. Preparations are also
being made by the owners of antimony
mines in the Kantishna district to
ship their ore to the outside. All of
which indicates that there arc possi
bilities in the Nome product. The an
timony ores of this section arc said to
carry exceptional values and there is
every prospect that the mining of this
mineral may become a valuable indus
try through careful management. The
deposits of the mineral in (his section
are extensive and easily mined, hence
il is indicated that there are possi
bilities in this direction that should
not ho overlooked by those interested
in such properties. As remarked, we
have no means of ascertaining the
Initial costs of handling the product in
this section on anything like a market
scale, but it would seem that if the ore
can he mined and shipped from tlie in
terijir and yield a margin of profit, one
is Justified in the belief that the local
ore can also he handled to advantage.
Owing to the low prices prevailing
during the past years, the owners of the
local mines were unable In market
their product with profit and, as a eon
sequence, Interest has languished, hut
the mines are here, however, and there
is an abundance of ore In sight carry
ing high values, so it is possible that
an increase of attention toward this
feature of our extensive mineral de
posits, other than gold, may result In
the development of a valuable industry
of which the source of supply is ul
most within sight of the city,

Founding to pieces on tile rocks in
bleak St. Michael hay, the oldest steam
vessel in Alaska will soon disappear
beneath the waves. The dying vessel
is the steamship f'olotofski, which was
one of four steam vessels built by the
Russians more than fifty years ago.
Two of the steamers were built in 1856
and two in 1858.

ped a very Interesting exhibit to the
g;m Francisco exposition recently, say*
the Ketchikan Miner. It consists of a
section of a spruce sawlog four feet
in length and sixty-one inches in di
ameter. The log from which it was
cut contained close to 16,000 feet, board
measure, was twenty-four feet in
length, and the section sent south
came from its upper or smaller end,
the butt being close to seven feet in
diameter, but lacking the perfect shape
of ttie section sent. The Admiral IJne
have agreed to take the specimen to
San Francisco free of charge, and same
will lie ready for Inspection of fair
visitors within the next week or ten
days.
