MINING MAN IS
MUCH IMPRESSED
GOES OUT TO INSPECT PROP
ERTIES AND WRITES BACK
IN OPTIMISTIC STRAIN.
A mining man who has come here
representing large capital to look over
the mining industry on Kenai penin
sula sends the Gateway his impression
by letter from the hills. Before leav
ing he was asked to do so as his opin
ion would be of the most valuable
kind. He refuses to permit the use
of his name. In dealing with tue gen
eral outlook he declares that it several
ledges existing along the Alaska
Northern railroad were outside they
would be grabbl'd up immediately.
Indeed, he is most enthusiastic and if
he had allowed the use of his name
his general summing up would be of
the greatest interest to the miners
here. As it is, the following specific
opinions from him are worth repro
ducing as showing the opinion of an
expert mining man who has never be
fore been in Alaska:
“All along the railroad as far north
as Mile Forty-five there are apparent
ly good properties ami prospects. Be
ginning at the south, there are pros
pects at Mite post Four and Seven.
At Seventeen Fred Martin gets some
heavily mineralized quartz that
should he prospected furtlu r. Then
there is the Primrose mine which i
am told is owned by Seward people
and shows evidence of making a good
property.
“At Twenty-fi'o the Skeen-Pechner
and the Kenai-Alaska properties have
produced sufficient in the past to
justify the belief that the future holds
something good in store for their
owners. While the Skeen-Peihner
property is now idle. Jus. Pernnan and
associates have a lease on the Kenai
Alask.i and several men are at work
crosscutting the ledge, which should
be cut within the next ten days. They

then expect to start up the mill and
indications are favorable for a busy
season and probably, a profitable one,
on this old producer.
“On Grant Lake Al. Sellers has an
excellent prospect which he expects to
work this season. It is reported that
he has an exposed ledge of highly
mineralized quartz eight feet in width
and traceable for a considerable dis
tance on the surface. On the other
side of the lake 10. It. Weaver has
some claims which have good show-1
ings but on which mere work will be
needed before anything definite can!
be ascertained as to their value.
The Whitney ground on which Jus.1
U. Hayden’s lease produced eight
hundred ore last fall, is now idle.
“Over in the Moose Pass country !
several men are working on some
good looking prospects and undoubt
edly something good will be opened
there this summer. This field is cer
tain to attract considerable attention, i
“At Mile Forty, Poindexter, Sollars
and Martin all have prospects, some
of which are now being opened up
with excellent showings.
“Taking the country immediately
tributary to the railroad from Mile
Four to Mile Forty, there are at least
