0 A STINK VI COMPANY
TO PROVE MINE
JUNEAU.—That the Alaska U.asti
neau company will take over anil de
velop what is predicted may be the
largest producing mine in the world
in the near future was practcally as
sured yesterday when arrangements
were made for a continuance of the
metallurgical work on the claims lo
cated at the head of Portland canal, j
These claims. 26 in number, are lo
cated in a mineralized belt, which has
been traced for several miles across
the mountain divide and which is said
to be solidly mineralized the entire
w idth of the claims, and in some (
places being well over a thousand
feet in depth.
The values recovered from the pros
pecting tunnels and shafts driven to
date have been fairly even over the i
entire body, running, it ij said, from ■
$10 per ton to $”>T per ton. The sam
ples have all been taken from a depth
of sixteen feet from the surface anti
at distances as much as two miles
apart.
The claims are located at a dis
tance of 12 miles from salt water, and
are alongside the g’acier at the heat!
of Salmon river, which flows into the
head of Portland canal.—Dispatch*

SI LZKK NOTES.
The Sulzer copper property at Sul
zer is to be extensively developed this
year, according to statements made
by former Governor William Sulzer
of New York, in an interview given
to J. J. Underwood for the Seattle
Times. The work is to be done under
the direction of his brother. Senator
Charles A. Sulzer. of Sulzer. who has
had charge of the mine for several
years.
According to the statements made
the mine will be shipping 1.000 tons
of ore each month within a very >hort
time. “What Alaska needs.” said Mr.
Sulzer, “is capital. There are half a
dozen good little copper mines in the
region where we operate, but the men
owning them need air compressors
and other machinery. Mining copper
by hand drilling is too costly.
Speaking of politics, the former,
governor of the Kmpire state said ,
that Charles F. Murphy of Tammany (
would have to retire as a Democratic
leader or the state would go Repub
lican. He declares that the lack of
similarity between the three naturu;
divisions of Alaska suggests that the
solution for getting the best results
in local government for the great ter
ritory is to divide it into two states
and one territory. His idea is that
Southeastern Alaska should become
the state of Seward; Southwestern
Alaska, the state of Sumner, and all
the territory north of the \ ukon re
main the territory of Alaska.
He grew enthusiastic in talking
about Alaska, quoting statistics to
some length, and eloquently described
her resources. The interview closed
with the demand that Alaska shall
have her rights politically.
