FIRST GOLD BRICKS ARE
RROUCHT FROM GOLD KING
njlLL IS NOW TURNING OUT ABOUT- $600 PER DAY FROM
THREE ORE BOGIES WHILE TUNNEL IS BOEING DRIVEN TO
CONNECT WITH MAIN LEDGE--CIBAWFORD A GENIUS. .
Charles Kraemer returned yes
terday from a trip to the Cold
King property and brought back
with him two gold bricks weigh
ing- three hundred ounces each
and a sample of ore which looks
more like a jeweler’s window
than a piece of quartz from a
mine. The news that the first
bricks from the Cold King had
reached town spread like wildfire
and the officials of the ..ipany
were kept busy showing thet
bricks to their friends and re
ceiving congratulations for being
fortunate enough to he interested
in file property.,.
Mr. Kraemer explained that the
bricks represenled only a portion
of I lie output of the mine for the
past month. The mill has been
in operation for one month and
the output lias averaged about
soon per day. The ore milled lias
averaged between $100 and $150
per ton. The richest ore was not
sent to the '.stamps, but was held
in reserve, as the management
wished to get a line on the gen
eral average of the values rather
Ilian a big output while the new
mill was receiving its test.
The ore from which Hie bricks
we..xlracted was taken from
three ore bodies and is consid
ered a fair test of the average
value which may be expected
from them in future. The rich
sample brought in by Mr. Krae
mer came from the surface of
the payshoot which first attract
ed the attention of the discover
ers of the property. The tunnel
which will tap this payshoot at
a- depth of more than tilth feet is
now in il8 fedl and tile engineer
figures that the ledge should be
encountered with another _?<>o
feet. When tile payshoot is lap
ped it is expected a big body of
very rich ore will be exposed. A
winze .sunk lo (lie depth tif 105
feet on the ledge showed that if
had widened with depth and look
ed better than on the surface.
The property is equipped with
a Hunt inglon mill and I lie com
pany employes twenty-live men.
Mr. Kraemer states that the hoist
which was used to transport the
mill and other machinery lo the
ground last spring is now doing
duty bringing ore from the up
per workings down to the hunk
ers. die says Mr. Charles Craw
ford lias shown himself to lie a
mechanical genius for evolving I

DOLPH SMITH THINKS NEW
CAMP Will MAKE GOOD
SAYS CHIS&RA NQW MBS IffORE RICH CLAIMS THAR SLATE AND
NIZINA CQMBjR,ED—H.QPE OF FUTURfE LIE? IN BENCH
ES—MEM WITH MONEY ARE GETTING ACTIVE.
- i
Dolph Smith, of the Exchange
Bar, returned yesterday from the
Chrsana, where he spent some
lime looking over the camp and
sizing it up as a possible com
ing camp from every point of
view, lie has been in other stam
pedes and his opinions of this
camp will carry convict ion with
many who have been doubtful ow-‘
|i^g to .the conflicting reports
which have been brought out by
ret liming slnmpcdcrs.
When asked how many men
were in the camp Air. Smith said
dial it was difficult to form an
opinion, pul lie believed that .pos
sibly two thousand had gone in
since the stampede started. Alany
of them had tell the camp hut
there were several hundred still
there. Nearly every man who had
provisions or money to buy them
was determined to stay as long
as possible.
Air. Smith believes the camp
will make good. No one knows
as yet just how big (he area will
lie hut if the benches which are
now attracting attention contain
payslreaks the (Ihisana has a
chance to prove as big as any in
Alaska. He had heard the I'.his
ana compared to Slate creek .or
the Xazina, both small camps, but
the new camp had already shown
more payslreak than both of them
combined. The gold found oil
the creeks in the new camp dif
fers from that of the Slate or
Xazina creeks. On the latter if
is all dust, while in (lie Chisana
there is no line gold, few of the
pieces being so small that they
cannot lie readily picked up with
the lingers.
To illustrate the manner in
which I lie people are Mocking in
to the country, lie said that he
left Johnson creek on August -0
and after an absence of ten days
was surprised to lind a town of
about thirty cabins in course of
erection. Oscar Jtreedman has
built a store at Johnson creek
and has in animals packing in,
supplies all the time. He says
supplies are beginning to arrive
from every directiiyn except Val
ddz. The sleamcH from Fair
banks readied* Xi/.ina river and
the miners wjere packing their
out tits over the divide. The I Law
son people, who apparently have
unbounded faith in the camp, had
established a trading post at
iLonjak. about lot) miles from
