FINE ROCK FROM
GNLLHR'S MIRE
Port Wells Property Recently Bond
ed From Black and Hogan,
Shows Up Fine.
M. J. Callighan, the mining engi
neer, who has taken a bond on the
property of Pete Black and William
Hogan located on Harriman fjord, re
turned to Valdez last night on the
Brighton, bringing with him several
hundred '"pounds of rock from the
property, which he is opening up.
The rock, which is on exhibition
at the Seattle hotel, is equal to any
ever brought to town from down the
sound. The gold can easily be seen
al through the rock with the naked
eye. One piece, weighing about 60
pounds, would assay well up in the
tnousanns or aonars per ton.
Hogari and Black were the original ,
locators of the claims and they bonded i
to Callighan last, fall and he in turn !
has interested Vancouver and Seat- j
tie capitalists. Considerable develop
ment work has been done on the I
claims. The original locators secured I
a contract to drive 200 feet of tun !
neling and have completed 165 feet ;
of fit. The tunnel has followed the ;
ore all the way and the lead runs
from 3 to 14 inches in widtli and :
gives an average return of about $50 !
a ton according to a statement made
by Mr. Callighan to a representative :
of tile Prospector. He further stated: ;
"We have a depth of 130 feet and i
are well pleased with the showing
made on the property. We will con
tinue to block out the ore and when ,
we are certain that enough ore is in
sight to justify a mill the mill will j
go in, but not until then. We have
spent. $4,000 opening the claims and
will spend considerable more for tie- !
velorment work.”
BRYAN WILL AID
STANDARD OIL CO.
(Continued front page 1.)
Standard will be compelled to take
it or leave it.
Whatever happens in that direc- i
tion, the Standard’s activities as a j
seller of illuminating oil, which is by ;
far the most profitable feature of its ;
business in Germany, will be effectu
ally checked. It will henceforth be j
illegal for the American corporation j
to sell ■< pint of illuminating oil in
this market. ,
The United States government is
not inclined to leave the Standard in
the lurch, as Germany all along has
figured. The authorities at Washing
ton represent categorically tiiat the :
proposed method of snuffing the
Standard out of business in Germany
is regarded as confiscatory, pure and ;
sunple, and is an indefensible viola- i
tion of the trading rights of American !
citizens in a friendly foreign market. !
liven the fellow who has a walkovet i
shouldn’t burn his bridges behind him. 1
