Will Exhibit.
The Treadwell mines will send
an exhibit to the St. I/ouis Exposi
tion. Superintendent MacDonald
wa* greatly disappointed when an
outsider wa* np}>ointed to the posi
tion of commis*ioner, hut it has de
veloped that Mr. Ryan is an old
friend, which obligates the head of
the big mine to come to the front.
The Treadwell exhibit will repre
sent gold bricks, one for each year
that the mine ha* Wen producing,
with the value stumped on each.
The bricks will W exact reproduc
tions, and for those not aware of
the fact it might be well to state
that the Treadwell mines have pro
duced 922,000,000 thus far, which
will bo the amount represented by
the exhibit.
A Valuable Find.
Dr. John P. Frizcll, of Portland,
Ore., has dicovered a large deceit
of carbonate of iron on Unimak
island, one of the Aleutian chain.
He took out with him samples of
carbonates which James H. Fisk,
an nssayer, pronounces practically
pure, and fixes the value of the
product at 120 per ton.
Acording to Dr. Frizell, there are
thousands of tons of the carl>ouates
in the Alaskan deposits. The only
other deposits of carbonates of iron,
so far as known, are in Bavaria,
which supplies practically all the
natural carbonates used.
Wants to Organize.
The question of organizing a
militia company in Alaska is now
before the war department through
a request made by Gov. Brady for
authority to raise a national guard
in that territory. As far us known
the plans of the Alaska authorities
contemplate the raising of only one
company, at Sitka, which is to be
recruited among the former em
ployes of the mines.
The Copper River Mining, Trad
ing & Dev. Co. will have a pack
train leave Copper Center for Val
dez about Oct. 1. Miners can leave
their packs there to be carried into
Valdes. Rates reasonable.
