Partners Will Soon be Among
the Producers.
I
i --
.Coorge' Herman ami partner?
have' concluded negotiations
whereby work on the Herman
^property on Betties Bay will be
resumed. Frank Becker, former
’ly operating on Fairbanks and
Cleary creeks placers, but who is
also well informed on quartz, has
become interested and will <inan
ce its further development and
the erection of a mill on the
ground.
Mr. Becker was induced to in
vestigate the property by Jack
Sells and has been so favorably
impressed that he has gone out
side to purchase a mill. The
property has been developed to
a point which shows the ledge
continues to increase with depth
and carries good commercial val
ues. A shaft has been sunk to a
depth of 100 feet and about 50
feet, ol' tunnel has been run from
Ihe bottom of Ihe shaft. It is
estimated there is sufficient ore
in sight lo pay ihe cost of de
velopment.
Mr. Becker will purchase a
seven-foot l.ane mill and will op
erate il with a JO-lmrse power
oil burner. The ground is al
ready equipped with a boiler,
pump and hoist. Two men left
on the Brighton Ibis morning to
begin preparing the sile for Ihe
mill, which ^vill be erected at
Ihe earliest dale p ssible. The
location of the property is fa
Vorab'o for continuous operation
at all seasons of the year.
Mr. Sells, who was Ihe first
man lo make a mill lesl of ore
from the Port Wells district, will
be in charge of the work.

COTE ISLAND FOR
GERMAN AIRSHIP FLEET
Kaiser Wilhelm lias hit upon a
plan In turn a tiny island in the
North sea into a rendezvous for
(iennany's great airship licet..
Heligoland is one of the most
curious islands in the world. It
belonged to Ureal Britain twenty
years ago, lull was given over to
(iermany in exchange for Zanza
har.
The lowering dill's of this is
land are largely artificial. II was
discovered lhal the heavy seas
wore honeycombing I hem and
the island threatened to be en
I irely swept away.
The Herman government spent
millions of dollars in pouring
cement into these crevices and
preserving this strategic point.;
In addition it was formidably
armed and the utmost secrecy
is maintained as to the strength
of its fortifications.
Visitors are not permitted to
land except in the stuffy little
town at the base. They are for
bidden to scale the bluffs where
on the armaments bristle and
where gigantic stores of powder
are maintained for the imperial
fleet.
