LATOUCHE CLAIMS
VALDEZ.—H. W. Vance, the well
known mining man, returned last
night from Latouche island, where he
went to inspect the Wilson-Little cop
per property, consisting of a group of
ten claims.
Mr. Vance recently took a bond of
the property, which is considered one
of the most promising properties on;
the Sound. A large amount of devel
opment work has already been done,
and as the property is equipped with
machinery of the most modern type,
with an ample hydro-electric power
plant, the bringing it up to a shipping
1 basis will require comparatively little
time. Mr. Vance has ample financial
backing to carry out any project he
may undertake and it is anticipated
the property will be put on the list
of shippers this summer.
A crew of six men has already been
; put to work, and this number will be
J increased as conditions warrant.—Ex.
