Senator Millard Returns From His
Property and Is Well Pleased
At Showing.
Senator B. F. Millard returned to
Valdez this morning on the Admiral
Evans from Hobo bay, where he went
to inspect the work being done on
the Granite Gold Mining company
property. /
The senator is greatly pleased at
the fine showing on the mine, which
he had not seen since he went to
Juneau three months ago to attend
the sessions of the Alaska legisla
ture. (
In speaking of the property the sen
ator said: "We have a fine show
ing and I am better pleased each
time I visit the mine, as the work
being done day after day is open
ing up larger bodies of ore and we
have today enough ore to run the
new and enlarged mill for eight
months.
"The new mill recently installed
will be started up as soon as the ex
pert millman on the Alameda reach
es the property. The new -ten-stamp
plant will bring the daily capacity of
the mill to between 60 and 70 tons
and the output will be greatly in
creased.”
The big tunnel to tap the lead at
a depth of 500 feet is now in a dis
tance of 400 feet.
