Baron Von Raven and Alfred B.
lies Return From the In
terior.
Martin Vthi Haven, of New York,
accompanied by Alfred M. lies,
arrived from Cordova on tlm
NorlInvested) this morning. The
former is the resident engineer
and one of the directors of the
Alaska Copper Corporation with
headquarters at 04 Wall St., New
York. Mr. lies is the manager in
Alaska for the corporation.
When interviewed by a Pros
pector reporter Baron Von Raven
expressed himself as delighted
willi his trip to the interior, lie
stated he had been fortunate in
escaping all the bad weather.
In speaking of tile operations
of his company in the interior he
stated that I hey were now em
ploying from lb to 15 men and
would continue lo operate all
winter. About -,0(M( tons per
mouth of high grade ore is be
ing taken out and sacked on the
Nugget creek properly of the
company. This ore is very fiigli
grade. Nineteen tons wore ship
ped to I be smeller last winter
ami gave returns of 5(1 1-g’ per
cent copper with 15 ounces per
Ion in silver. A little over
S(11 wore the relurns made by the
smeller oil I lit* ship.lit. The
Ore was brought to Hie railroad
Cropi the mine Iasi spring on
sleighs and the company propose
making regular shpimenls of Hie
high grade during the coming
winter.
Maron You Haven stated that
I lie ore had been lapped at the 35
and 55 fool levels and ore was
coining in at the 250 foot level.
II is boranite ore and runs high
in silver. He believed a conser
vative estimate would place the
value of high grade ore on this
properly at #500.000.
Referring to the Hams proper
ly which is located on the south
'side of the KusJtokwim river,
about 10 miles from the Nugget j
creek holdings, he said they had i
been more extensively developed, j
A I iinnel had been run in 100 j
feel. J10 feel of which is in ore. j
This is low grade ore averaging, I
as it dot's, between 1 ami 5 per j
cent and must be handled on the i
ground. Martin Yon Haven esti-j
males that about four million j
Ions of ore is now in sight, lie
will submit a proposition to his j
fellow directors to erect a con-|
ccnfralor on the ground. A good j
water power oil Nuggel creek
which will afford cheap operation
can easily be harnessed. In the
event of the concentrator being
installed a wagon road can be
cheaply constructed In connect
