J. A. Borges, clerk in the office of
the Alaska Road commission, is
again on the street after having been
confined to the Valdez hospital since
October 2, when he suffered a severe
gash in the palm of the left hand by
falling on a piece of glass while out
hunting. He suffered the loss of con
siderable blood before reaching town,
where he received medical attention
and for a time it waa feared that se
rious complications might result. The
hand, although scarred and not as
strong as before the accident, will be
almost as serviceable as ever and Mr.
Borges is being congratulated by his
many friends over his good fortune
in saving his hand.

| Big Dike of Porphyry Carrying
Stringers of Rich Quartz Un
covered for 8,000 Feet.
\
Miners coining from Port Wells
state that what Is believed to be one
of the most promising properties In
that district is being opened up on
Betties and Hummer bays, of which
Henry Bailey, Bennet and Heinz were
the locators.
I The property is under bond to Sam
Pepper, the well known mining man,
|and associates' who are arranging
I for two hundred feet of tunnel de-ol
jopment work to be done at an early
date. The property extends fro.a
Betties Bay to Hummer Bay and the
lead which is in the form of a por
phyry dike, carrying stringers of
quartz, has been uncovered on the
surface for a distance of eight thou
sand feet. The dike has an acerage
width of seven feet with quartz
stringers varying from a few inches
up to 14 inches. The stringers arc
very rich and frequent testing of the
porphyry shows that it also carries
lvalues sufficient to pay foi md'oig
During the past summer dev >iop
Jment work was confined to surface
| stripping and opencut work, but sev
eral hundred feet of tunnel will be
run in on the ore this winter with a
view of determining the values and
the proper method of treating the
ore.
The property is ideally located for
cheap reduction of the ores should
the mine favorably respond to devel
opment work. Big timbers, suitable
for mining or lumber line the shores
of both Betties and Hummer bays,
and steamers can land within a few
feet of the surface outcroppings at
tidewater.
California miners who have visited
the property believe that it is sure to;
make one of the biggest mines in the
Valdez district as the combination of
rich stringers of quartz in porphyry
which also carries values, is the for- |
mation in California where gold.
mines have developed permanency.

Machinery for Knight’s Island Copper j
Mine Swept from Scow While j
Crossing the Sound.
A letter has been received from H.
C. Vance, at Latouche, stating that
he suffered the misfortune of losing a
piledriver and other machinery from
a scow while it was being taken from
Eschamy Bay to Knight's island re
cently.
Mr. Vance is developing a copper
property on the Bay of Isles, Knight’s
island, for Maitin Welsh, the million
aire mining man of Spokane, and re
cently purchased the piledriver from
the Eschamy Saltery company, at Es
chamy bay. The scow* was being
towed by the lauch Katalla Queen and
was caught in a sudden storm and
swamped, the piledriver and other
machinery being swept into the sea.
The loss of the piledraver will work
a hardship on the minng company as
they have piles ready to build a
wharf in order that shipments of ore
may be made to the smelter at an
early date.
Volcanic Ash Helped Soil.
Prof. C. C. Georgeson, head of the
government agricultural experimen
tal stations in Alaska, and who re
cently spent an extended visit to the
station on Kodiak island, declares
that the volcanic ash which fell at
the time of the Katmai eruption has
been the salvation of the country as
far as stock-raising is concerned. He
reports that where the ash has been
mixpd with earth that vegetables and
grains grow more luxuriantly than
prior to the eruption. The herd of
Galloway, cattle—a breed from the
southern part of Scotland—are do
ing well. There has been some talk
of cross-breeding the Galloways with
the Asiatic yak, but as yet congress
has made no appropriation of the ex
periment.

The After-Hours
MANY concerns lose money every night by not attract
ing the attention of the crowds on the streets in the
evening. On the other hand, many other concerns pros
per because they employ the after-hours salesman—Elec
tric Light. You can readily pick out these stores on the
busiest thoroughfares—their show windows pouring a
brilliant flood of light upward, outward and downward,
thereby adding an attraction to the goods displayed not
obtainable in any other way. Few people can resist a
glance at the beautiful effect—most people stop and ad
mire it. The proprietors of these shops are well versed
in all modern methods which make for success in devel
oping trade. They know that the lavish use of electric
light pays, and use Edison Mazda Lamps to obtain it at
a minimum cost.
