Quart/. Follows Placer Mining
Speaking of the quartz prospects of
Seward Pehinstda. H. C. Davis said:
‘‘The history of the richest mining
sections has shown that where there
are big placer deposit;* they are suc
ceeded by quartz properties. The chief
mining district, in Montana and Ne
vada followed pluc t camps. Already
there have been started some develop
ments of the quartz properties in the i
peninsula, but it takes capital and j
modern methods as well as plenty of
labor to develop these claims and
make them pay. and it will probably
be a few years before this phase of the
Seward Peninsula's richness is gener
ally recognized.—Seattle Times.
Japanese Iron w orkers
The Japanese were acquainted with
iron from very early times. A sword!
that was used by one of the ancestors
of the present emperor about S00 B. C.
is still in existence. Later, when the
great civil war broke out in the sixth
century, swordsmiths and armorsmiths
came to occupy a prominent place.
From this time on clown to about 300
years ago no noticeable progress had
been made. At the beginning of the !
seventeenth century all branches of
industry began to prosper. The de
mand for iron implements increased
and the scarcity of iron supply began
to be felt.—Engineering Magazine.
PRESIDENT OFF
ON VACATION
Roosevelt and Family Leave
\\ ashington for Oyster Bay
to Spend the Summer.
By Cable to The Dally Gateway.
Washington, I). C.. June -0—Presi
dent Roosevelt in company with his
family left Washington this morning
at 9 o’clock. They will go direct to
Oyster Bay where the president has
his summer home and there they will
spend their vacation.
Floods Still High
3y Cable to The Dally Gateway.
Kansas City, Mo., June 15—The
waters that have Hooded wide districts
and driven hundreds of people from
their homes, are not noticeably re
ceding. The people are waiting to
see which way they will be driven
next.
Gone to Atka Island
Louis Strauss of the A. C. Company
has gone to Atka island, 750 miles
west of Unalaska.to establish a station
for the company at that point. They
have bought the station from Captain
Dirks
Shook The Cubes
By Cable to Tbe Dally Gateway.
New York, June 17—District Attor
ney Jerome is facing a charge of
shaking dice for a consideration by
those who have made a stand to have
him removed from office.
Men Are Needed
“We now need men to work the
claims, men to scratch over the entire
country and locate for themselves: men
who will do their share in upbuilding
the country. It is one of the richest
mining districts ever discovered, and
I believe some day the developments
will be such that you will see a daily
steamship service between Seattle and
Nome during the open season.
“The country is good for the next
fifty years at a conservative estimate,
and the quartz developments may ex
tend it far beyond that period. The
discoveries already include copper de
posits running from 10 to 15 per cent,
tin, antimony, bismuth and a little
silver. The development of these
properties will make prominent the
Seward Peninsula district for many
years to come.”—H. C. Davis in Seattle
Times.
Over 4,000 Gone North
Alaska travel has been unusually
heavy this spring. Not so much so far
in the way of operators or capitalists
or tourists, who are making the
rounds, but in men who have gone
north to delve for gold. Up to the
present time 4,203 passengers have
sailed from this part for the north since
January 1.
Judging from the consignments that
have been*shipped north this spring,
the country is in a prosperous condi
tion, for market luxuries have been
sent in great quantities.
liefore the middle of this month the
passengers going north for the season
of 1908 will have been doubled. The
prediction is also made by the Pacific
Coast Steamship Company that its ex
cursion season, notwithstanding the
hard times, will be a big success, es
pecially so to Muir Glacier and other
Southeastern Alaska points.—P.-I.
Birthplace of the Icebergs
We might call Greenland the world’s
ice box. If you glance at the map you
will see that the State of New York,
large as it seems to us, is not over one
twentieth of the size of Greenland, for
New York contains only 47,000 square
miles.
Then think that the glaciers are
steadily moving away from the center
of Greenland, really being crowded off
the land, and it will not seem so
strange that here is the birthplace of
nearly all of the icebergs that are so
feared by the mariner.—St. Nicholas.
Postal Agreement With France
Washington—The United States has
entered into a parcels post agreement
similar to that entered into sometime
ago by this country and England. The
agreement makes the postage rate on
first class matter between the coun
tries in question the same as the
domestic rate.
GUGGENHEIMS
ARE GENEROUS
They Offer the Use of Keystone
Canyon to Government for
Building Wagon Road.
By Cable to The Dally Gateway.
Seattle, June 18—The Guggenheims,
who hold the right of way for rail
road purposes through Keystone can
yon, have offered the government the
use of the canyon for the purpose of
constructing a wagon road through it
leading to the interior.
A Live Trading Company
Captain A. Woodside, president of
the Pacific States Trading Company of
San Francisco, has just completed a
tour of the company’s cod fishing sta
tions along the Alaska coast and
among the Shuinagin islands in the
vicinity of Sand Point.
The company will rapidly extend
their operations. Capt. James Osmond,
an old timer and a very capable man,
has been engaged to act as the com
pany’s agent in Alaska. Although
the company has lost two fine schoon
ers within the past few months in
these waters. Capt. Woodside is very
enthusiastic over the field, and pro
poses that his company shall identify
itself in the future more closely with
the territory.
The Salmon Catch
Preparations for the salmon catch
are now in full progress at the canne
ries on Kodiak island, Chignik and on
Bristol bay. At present tin cans are
being manufactured at the rate of sev
enty-five per minute for each machine,
and each machine will be running day
and night, at least twenty hours to the
day, for t hirty days. There are some
thing like twenty-two canneries on
Bristol bay alone, each operating from
one to several machines.
Fourteen ships from 1,000 tons up
lie anchored in the Nushagak river
having brought thousands of men and
hundreds of thousands of dollars worth
of tin, provisions and other supplies.
I These ships will lie at anchor where
they are until the millions of cans are
! tilled. By the last of August the fish
will be packed ^md all the work done,
i the ships loaded and gone, and once
more peace and had smell will settle
down over the Nushagak.
Prospect in Nome Region
Declaring that Seward Peninsula
j will some day be one of the richest
! quartz mining districts in the world,
President II. C. Davis, of the North
western Development Company, who
is also interested in the Seward Penin
sula railroad and the John .1. Sesnon
j Company of Nome and Seattle, stated
| that the present season in the Nome
: district promises to be one of the best
in its history, and with tlie heavy de
mand for labor satisfied there, the
the prospects for the entire section
j are the brightest. lie asserts that
i there will be employment for 5,000
men in the Nome mining camps alone
this summer. The clean-up lias start
ed and the indications are that about
$4,000,000 will be taken from the Nome
district this spring. These conditions
point to a stampede of laboring men
from this country into the Seward Pe
ninsula this summer, equalizing the
labor situation by taking the excess
men from Seattle to Nome, where
there will be work for all at $5 a day
and board.—Seattle Times.
Operations In Porcupine
Haines—Active operations have al
ready been commenced in the Porcu
pine district back of this town, several
score of men having gone to the camps
for the season. A large force of men
is at work on the new* stretch of road,
which will be ready for travel in the
next few weeks. All indications
point to a boom of no small magnitude
for Haines this season, and the faith
of the citizens has been manifested in
steps to incorporate the town.
Hundred Tons Per Day
One hundred tons per day of coal
from the McDonald mines, on Bering
lake, could be shipped now, according
to the report of G. W. Winckler, and
this could be increased to 250 per day
soon.—Mining News.
