SUPS DROPPING
IN GRANITE MILL
Port Wells Property Added to the
Producers—Stamps Started
Last Friday.
Word was received in Valdez this
morning that the stamps at the Gran
ite Gold Mining company mill had
started to drop last Friday and that
the table showed that the ore now
being run contained big values.
Supt. Millard has written to Attor
ney Bunnell, the local representative
of the company, that the mill and
tram were working excellently.
Enough ore has already been block
ed out to keep the mill running night
and day for six months and the devel
opment work was being pushed to
open up the property and block out
the ore.
The Granite company have spent
$32,000 in placing the property on a
milling basis. The larger part of this
money was subscribed by miners who
visited the property and know of its
values.
Senator Millard and his son, W. It.
Millard, formerly superintendent of
the Cliff, bonded the property from
Tatum last summer, having associated
with them Jafet Lindeburg and J.
E. Chilberg. Later a stock company
was organized so as to open up the
property.

brought little news to Germany and
exerted little influence in the Orien.
It is said that this agency will be the
