Great Sulphur Deposit.
Development on a large scale of
what is declared to la- the greatest
sulphur deposit in the Vnited
Statis, if not in the world, will
commence in the early spring. The
mine is located on Mount Makuskin,
Vnalaska island,one of the Aleutian
archipelago. It was located in 1898
by Maj. John J. Hahocker and
Thomas M. Reed. Jr., of Olympia.
The Philadelphia Crude Ore Co..
Maj. Hahocker and Dr. Alexander
De Soto own the property. While
keeping up the assessessmcnt work,
they have never l>cgun develop
ment work on a large scale. But
in the spring (’apt. W. H. Fergu
son, who represents the owners in
a legal capacity, says operations
are to he commenced on a large
scale.
Mount Makuskin, as seen from
Duteh Harlair and Vnalaska, ns it
can he easily on a clear day, pre
sents the appearance of an active
volcano. Smoke and steam pour
out continously through hundreds
of small fissures in the cap of the
lofty |a-ak.
E. Donovan Reed, a mining ex
pert and civil engineer, led an ex
pedition to the mountain early in
the current year. The deposit
was thoroughly prospected. Nu
merous holes were sunk to a great
depth, with the result that Reed
reporting on tin- property estimated
that there are 500.000 tons of sul
phur deposit, running 75 j»er cent,
pure sulphur in sight.
The plan of development contem
plates the construction of a tram
way from the sulphur beds to tide
water in Captains hay, across from
Dutch Harlair, a distance of twenty
to twenty-five miles.
Development of the beds would
have been undertaken sooner but
for unexpected delays in securing
a patent. The owners, Capt. Fer
guson states, having complied with
every requirement of the law, will
soon lie in jiossossion of the neces
sary patent and title papers.
