Sidney Drake, Under Whoee Manage
ment the Mine Waa Developed,
Sells Out to Alex. Miller.
f
Sidney Drake, the well known
mining man, who has been general
manager of the Cameron-Johnson
Gold Mining Company, has disposed
of his entire stock in the company
and will retire from the management.
Mr. Drake’s Interests have been ac
quired by Alexander Miller, a prom
inent business man and capitalist of
Worth Yakima, who recently spent
some time investigating the mine.
iMr. Drake has been identified with
the mine since acquiring the prop
erty three years ago from the orig
inal locators, and the success which
has attended the' development of the
property from a mere prospect to a
dividend-paying mine has been large
ly due to his efforts. Shortly after
acquiring control of the property
more than two years ago Mr. Drake
Interested North Yakima capitalists
in the enterprise. During that time
over $120,000 has been spent on de
velopment work and* equipping the
mine with machinery for the reduc
tion of its ores.
The Cameron-Johnson is now equip
ped with a five-stamp mill, a seven
foot Lane rotary, two concentrators
and an aerial tram 3,900 feet In
length. The tram will have a capac
ity of 400 tons per twenty-four hours.
It is now in course of erection and
will be tested out during the com
ing week. In addition to the mill the
mine is well equipped with buildings
to care for its employees and sup
plies. Near the mill is a bunkhouse
18 x 30 feet, a commissary 14 x 18
feet, blacksmith shop and other
outbuildings. At the upper workings
are a messhouse 14 x 20 feet, bunk
house 14 x 20 feet and a blacksmith
shop. The mill is operated by wa
ter power, a Pelton wheel having a
246 foot head having been installed
during the present season.
The stock of the Cameron-Johnson
company is now practically all own
ed by North Yakima capitalists. The
property has been extensively devel
oped and ore sufficient to keep the
mill running for several seasons has
been blocked out. It is announced
that $40,000 will be spent this year
developing the ore bodies.
Although he has severed his con
nection with the enterprise with
which he has been so long identified
Air. Drake states that he has no in
tention of leaving the district. He
believes the mining industry of the
Valdez section has a future equal to
any camp in America and says he
will soon become identified with an
other winner.
