LIKES PROSPECT AT
TALES CREEK MINES
L. f. Shaw Says Development Indi
cates Valuable Quartz De
posits on the Lode.
“Good enough to invite development
work," is the verdict on the Fa 1 Is
creek quartz discoveries, of L. F.
Shaw, who came to Seward on, the
Corwin. Mr. Shaw is interested in the
Skene and Lechner properties with IT.
A. Ingalls, who took a bond on them
laM month. Since then four men have
been working under tin* direction of
Skene, and Lechner running a tunnel
on the lead.
Air. Shaw came from Nome, where
he has been engaged for several years
in newspaper work and mining. He
will spend the week in Seward and may
remain here permanently if he likes
the region as well as he thinks he will
from what he has seen in a few days.
He went to Falls creek the day after
his arrival in Seward and on his re
turn he said:
‘‘The Falls Creek claims look good
to me. Of course all you can say of
any undeveloped mine is that it is a
prospect. This pi’operty is certainly
very promising and it gets better as
the men go in farther. The pay streak
is widening as the tupnel goes farther
into the hill. We will follow it until
we get results or decide that there is
no mine there. A man can afford to
work a prospect hole where he gets
such rock as this."
Then Mr. Shaw held up a chunk of
quartz in which gold specks could easily
be seen with the naked eye. Numerous
similar specimens have been displayed
in town before by the Falls creek
claim owners*
Mr. Shaw is an old acquaintance of
Skene. Lechner and Armstrong, who
own the claims on which Ingalls and
Shaw have taken a bond. He was with
them in Siberia in the Rosene mining
exploration party in 1903. When they
made the Falls civek locations in July
they wrote to him at once tor assistance
in developing the property. As a re
sult Mr. Ingalls came down and took a
bond on the property, and Mr. Shaw
has followed.
