Kotsina Items
Under date of July 12th Dick Gelin
cau writes an interesting letter regard
the progress of development work on
the Kotsina. The following extracts
are takeu from this letter:
“I suppose that everyone had a grand
time on the Fourth of July iu Valdez.
So did I I was up at the head of
Roaring Creek prospecting all of that
day and was fortunate enough to find
a ledge of copper 20 feet wide that is
fairly rich. I traced the ledge for
3000 feet and made four locations
naming the claims the ‘Copper King,’
the ‘Mineral King,’ the ‘Arctic Chief
and the‘Fourth of July.’ I also made
some good finds on Sheep Creek at the
beginning of the season. Two Claims,
especially look fine. One of these 1
named the ‘Morrison’ after a Mr. Mor
rison who is the attorney and also a
stockholder in our company. July 11th
we found a copper nugget that will
weigh 700 or 800 pounds. We took it
out of the Austin Group. It is pure
native copper with very little quartz,
possit ly 25 pounds at the very most.
It took five of the boys a half a day to
roll it down the bill, a distance of
3000 feet. 1 am going to move this
slab down to the permanent camp and
it is the present intention to sled it
out to Valdez next winter.
“Things are looking fine around our
j r )perty. Mr. Gray will spend over
$100,000 on Eames Creek before the
year is out. He surely is a bustler.
He has six tunnels on this creek.' The
property on Rock creek looks especial
ly fine. Mr. Gray cross cut the DeLin
claim and when in 59 feet struck a big
shute of ore making that one of the
best claims in this region. From ail I
—I-————
can see he is very well pleased with !
the district and when Lie gets ready
for a railroad a man named Gray will
huild it if no one else does.”
In the court yesterday the case of
Jewel vs Hoyt was dismissed,
i Graff vs. Butler* was settled, a de
vision being rendered iu favor of
the defendant.
A motion was introduced to open
I the case of the Cbittitu Development
Co., bankrupt, but the motion tVus
j denied.
