GOLDEN EAGLE TO
Capacity of Mill Will Be Doubled To
Treat Low Grade Ore—It Own
ed In Cordova.
Dr. Frodenberg was an arrival on
the Brighton last night from Port
Wells en route to his home In Cor
dova. He is Interested in the Golden
Eagle mining property, having been
one of the discoverers three years
ago. He has spent most of his time
in development of the property and
now feels satisfied that the future
of the mine is assured.
The Golden Eagle is strictly a Cor
dova company, the stockholders beiffg
mostly railroad men. During the past
summer a five-stamp mill with a ca
pacity of 35 tons per 24 hours was
installed. The mill has been in op
eration for several weeks and has
demonstrated the Chet that new ma
chinery must be installed to save the
gold. It was believed that the ore
was free milling and could be saved
without a concentrator. The gold is
heavily coated with rust which pre
sents its being caught on the plates.
Concentrates saved showed a value
of 3110 per ton.
l/c Y nu^uicm. nuia uuo uvimwmuv.wv
ed the fact that the Golden Eagle
is a big low-grade proposition, the
ledge being 50 feet wide. The values
from ore milled from the entire ledge
gave returns of $4.00 per ton, but a
portion of the ledge gives much
greater values. The property Is well
located, being close to tide water with
splendid timber available. A good
water power Is part of the company’s
holdings. The mill will operate all
winter and will meet the expenses of
developing the mine. It is estimat
ed that sufficient ore is in sight to
keep a ten-stamp mill running for
ten years.
J. W. Spalding, the superintendent,
has advised the company to Install
another battery of five stamps, which
will enable the treatment of double
the amount of ore at a slight In
crease in the expense. The Golden
Eagle has also bonded claims No. 9
and Home Rule across the valley
from the Golden Eagle, believing that
the ledges found there are the same
as found on their property. Dr. Frod
enberg was the locator of the Home
Rule. A contract has been let for
200 feet of tunnel work on the latter
claim.

CREDIT NOT DUE
TO WIGKERSHAM
Senator Nelson Wires That He Asked
Jones To Tack Valdez Dike
Item On Army Bill.
It la conceded that the Valdez dike
appropriation was tacked on the
army appropriation bill by Senator
Jones. In his first Valdez speech
Judge Wlckersham asserted that
Jones did this at the delegate’s re
quest. Jones was chairman of the
Senate Committee on Appropriations
and therefore in a position of un
equaled influence in the Senate in
all appropriation matters.
As everybody interested ought to
remember, Senator Kelson had charge
of the Valdez dike matter in the Sen
ate. The Prospector, therefore, wir
ed Nelson as follows:
“We have always understood Sen
ator Jones tacked Valdez dike Item
on army bill at your request. Wick
ersham claims all credit. Please wire
facts.’’
To this Senator Nelson replied to
day:
"■Selegram received. Your under
standing about 8enator Jones is cor
rect”
Here Are the Facts.
To refresh the memory of Valdez
the Prospector calls attention to the
following undisputed facts.
Through the influence of Senator
Nelson and others the Valdez dike
appropriation went through the Sen
ate as an independent bill. It was
killed in the House after two discus
sions, in neither of which does Wick
ersham’s name appear, (Con. Record,
62nd congress, pages 5677-8, 5686-7.)
Then It was placed on the Rivers
and Harbors bill in the Senate and
again passed. It was scratched off in
the House.
Then Senator Nelson tacked It on
the sundry civil appropriation bill
and put it through the Senate again.
Chairmen Fitzgerald of the House
Appropriations Committee struck it
off and the item seemed dead.
This was at the long session of
the 62nd congress, in the summer of
1912. The next winter the Valdez
item was tacked on the army bill by
Senator Jones and it went through,
and Valdez has the dike. The fol
lowing Inside history has never been
published.
When Col. Richardson returned to
Washington in the late tall of 1912
he took up the matter again with
Senator Nelson. It was a pet project
with Col. Richardson. He first con
ceived it and induced the War de
partment to Bend an engineer to make
an estimate of the cost, and finally to
recommend the appropriation as nec
essary to protect federal property in
Valdez.
Looked Like Dead Issue.
Senator Nelson could see nothing
further that could be done except one
thing. That was to get Senator Jones
to tack the item on the army bill
in the hope that it would ride through
on the bandwagon. He told Col. Rich
ardson to go to Jones and ask him
to tack the item on the army bill.
Col. Richardson replied:
. “I can’t do that, senator. No army
officer or other subordinate of the
War department has a right to ask a
senator or congressman to favor any
legislation not already recommended
by the War department in precise
form Everything must come through
the secretary. If I were to ask this
thing of Senator Jones I would be
subject to reprimand and perhaps
worse from my superiors."
Senator Nelson replied: "Then will
you go to Senator JoneB as my mes
senger and tell him that I want him
to tack the Valdes dike item on the
army bill?”
Col. Richardson did so and Senator
Jones did so, and the item rode
'through on the army bill.
This is the history of the career
Of the Valdez dike appropriation in
congress. If anybody of consequen
ce will offer proof that the statement
Is inaccurate the Prospector will pub
lish the proof offered. It has already
.printed Judge Wlckersham’s unsup
ported claim that he did it all.
