Hot Springs Has
Exceedingly rich in ore value is the
placer or stream tin that has been
found in the Hot Springs district. The
ore is a tin oxide and is known as cas
siterite, and contains a small percent
age of tungsten. Owing to the peculiar
affinity of tin and tungsten, the combi
nation is very hard to separate; lienee
the tungsten is a detriment to instead
of enhancing the value of the ore.
L. M. Drury, Fairbanks assayer, re
cently made two separate analyses of
the mineral, and both showed a value
of 61 per cent.
\\ ith the present market value ot
tin 47 cents a pound, the ore would
average well over $400 a ton in metal.
From this, of course, would be sub
tracted the cost of freight and smelt ing,
which would still leave a handsome
revenue when mined in quantities.

Tom Steffensen
Is Not Browned
Among tiioso acquainted with hira
tile general belief has lately prevailed
that Tom Sietfensen, well known in
connection with the labor troubles at
Fairbanks a few years ago, had met his
death by drowning in the waters of the
1’anana river somewhere between Lit
tle Delta and Fairbanks.
Nothing of the kind had happened, 1
however, for Steffensen is in the
Troublesome country, between the
Tanana and Yukon rivers, eating ba
con and beans like any other un
drowned prospector, and adding to the
bill of fare blueberries and cream
three times nearly every day.
M. P. Fleischman, postmaster at
Rampart, who is in Iditarod this week,
knows Steffensen well, and picked
berries with him in this very month of
August.
Steffensen, with a couple of partners,
has been interested for the past three
years in a large quartz property located
some forty miles from the Little Delta.
Toward the end of the past winter the
men left Fairbanks for the property to
do some representation work and the
two partners returned to town a few
months later.
It was in the second week of June
that Steffensen showed up at Dad Mar
tin’s roadhouse at the Little Delta, and
he then expressed an intention of going
to Fairbanks to get a horse. He had a
raft, a cranky affair made of green
logs, and he was advised by Martin and
others strongly against venturing on
the trip, us the river at the time was
high and rough. He disregarded this
counsel, however, assuring his advisers
that he anticipated no trouble in
making the trip, and on June 12 he
started out.
Dad Martin made inquiries from
everybody passing up the Xanana and
could hear nothing of Steffensen: so
was confident he had bees lost, either
through the raft being wrecked on a
boulder or being swept off the frail
craft by a sweeper. He grew more cer
tain in this belief because the many
inquiries he had made concerning the
missing man had failed to bring any
tidings of him.
Xhen the story was taken to Fair
banks, whither Steffensen was sup
posed to be destined, and as he had not
appeared there Dad Martin was sure
his “I told him so-’ was a dead ringer.
Meantime Steffensen made port at

StefTensen went to Fairbanks in the
early days of the labor union there, as
an organizer for the United Mine
Workers. He took a leading part in
tlie strikes and at one time was under
indictment for participating in the
small riot at the depot at the time
Doazat took a shot at Deputy Marshal
Phil North. Since that time he has
done considerable representation work
on quartz properties in the Little Delta
