Extensive Improvements Planned
for Operating the Cameron
Johnson on a Big Scale.
Work on Hu (Jamcron-John
son mine has closed for the sea
son ami the miners who have
been employed there have arrived
in town and bedn paid oil'. The
season lias been very satisfactory
to the management and has solv
ed many questions which can on
ly be learned by actual exper
ience.
The operations of the company
during the summer have been
largely experimental and have
been carried out with a view of
securing information looking to
the future operation of the prop
erty on an extensive scale in the
most economical manner. This
season's operations have shown
them that the cost of landing
machinery and supplies on (he
ground can no cut in two when
the improvements which they
planned have been installed. Last
spring but lit Lie definite knowl
edge of the available wafer sup
ply ivas known and they now
know exactly what power they can
count on from the streams there.
They have gained knowledge of
their ore1 bodies through develop
ment work and have used the
mill on the ground to experiment
with the ores. No attempt has j
been made to get out high grade
ore from the Treasury Note lead,
the discovery of which slated the I
stampede to that district and re- |
suited in the discovery of many •
of the rich properties there.!
They have purposely milled the
lire as though under the ordinary
mill run and have found the re
alms very satisfactory. When the
mill was erected last summer it
ivas believed that some of the rich
are from the Treasury Note could
tie brought down and milled, but
L'limalic conditions this year
littered from that of past years,
is the ground, which had been
jovered with .snow in former
rears, was bare this sunnne'r.
Tin1 miners believe the blasting j
in the mine has caused the snow
iml ice to be broken up, as it i
•eceded very fast this summer.;
sull'icienl of the ore from the ;
Treasury Note lead was brougbl j
Iowii and milled to demonsl ratc ;
its high values and a permanent j
ram will be installed next year, j
Several new leads have been j
uncovered on the, property which i
larallel the Treasury Note, one i
if which is particularly prumis- |
ug. It lias been exposed for i
■nunc distance and shows it width
if belter than two feet, with val
ues averaging $500 per toil.
The mine is closed now be
muse of Hie necessity of a largo
iiuanlily of timbeV for tunnel
wo Ik, which can nr ueiivcrcn on
[tic ground next slicing for a j
small fraction of the cost it I lie
work was attempted now.
The plans for the future of the
property include the driving of
a tunnel of 3,(Mid feet, which will
lap all Ihe ore bodies on the up
per claims, some additions In tlm j
mill which will greatly increase i
ils rapacity anil Uie establish- |
merit of a permanent power plant i
which will furnish electricity and
air.
FIRE DESTROYS
8EATTLE TIMES
(Continued from page I).
Colonel Blethen, president of
the Times Publishing company,
says that the fire was started by
incendiaries who are working to
destf-iYy* tlie Times because of'its
exposure of crooks in high plac
es. The police claim that'lHe tire
was started by a gas leakage
TV fipres was visited, by lire
last March and ‘all th£ linotype
machines' arid big presses were
destroyed, being replaced by new
machines,' which have now been
lost in Ihe resent fire. The dam
age in both fires was fully cov
ered by insurance.
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer
and the Seattle Star both offer
ed the Times the use of their
press and composing rooms to
issue their paper until the dam
age done can he repaired, and
(lie Times will he issued this ev
ening as usual.

MEN IRE SNOT
FROM BEHIND
Second Man is Herman Anderson,
Member of Federation of
Miners at Douglas.
The two men whose bodies hud
been found near I,he government
trail at Willow creek had been
shot from behind, both men be
ing killed while running away
or while turned from the mur
derers. Such was the informa
tion received by Marshal Brenno
man from Deputy Dowling, who
is now on the ground. Only 25
cents was found on the elothes_of
the second man found, and he al
so had a card made out to Her
man Anderson, showing that he
was a member of the Western
Federation of Miners at Doug
las. The card was dated May
25th of this year.
The watch carried by the other
murdered man had been reair
ed at Prince Rupert last May and
it would appear that some time
in June of early in July the two
had started for the Chisana or
for Fairbanks. As yet the auth
orities can not find a record of
the two men on the passenger
lists of the boats coming north,
out win cniumim uio soarcn in
locale Hu1 time when they si art— j
ed over I he I rail, also I he men I
who were on the trail at that
time, will he interviewed in order
to locale tile murderers if pos
sible.
Marshal Hreiineman intends to
leave no stone unturned in his
e(forts to locate the murderers
and the district attorney’s office
is also working ou the case.
The |wo bodies were found a
little less than two miles apart.
