Port MacPherson alone with a dog
team, considered a remarkable feat

ice will let him escape northward, so
that he can make the Northwest pas
sage. concluding his voyage at Mon

Mining Notes
Harry Lander*, freight foreman for
the Gold Bullion mine of Willow;
creek, is moving 160 tons of supplies
to the mines.
Charley Gay i* reported to have
sold his interest in a lay on Willow '
creek, in the Marshall district to Joe
Darling for $15,000.
Fay running fifty cents to the pan
is said to have been found under the
false bedrock in the Marshall district.
Arrival* from the Tolovana country
report that considerable prospecting
is in progress on Brooks creek about ',
eighteen miles back of West Fork.
There are four outfits on the creek
and several recent stakers are thinking
seriously of sinking holes before the!
water runs. Although the creek was!
staked from end to end a year or more
ago, very little work was done until
the present winter and no one has yet
reached bedrock.
J. K. Moodey, pioneer sawmill man
of the Tolovana, has a boiler on!
Brooks now and is dpwn 80 feet. Bob
Mann also has ground on the creek 1
and is preparing to sink as soon as ho
can get a hotter.
About fifteen plants are working on
Livengood, the chief producer of the
Tolovana camp. Gus Peterson is onl$
working one boiler at present, his op
erations being confined chiefly to the
Sunny Bench.
Galbreath, Sampson & Kelly are
taking out a dump on their ground on
Upper Livengood and expect to have
their ground worked out this winter, j
C harles Lind is sinking a working
shaft on the bench back of the town
of Livengood. In the first attempt to
reach bedrock he lost his drill and was
compelled to sink a shaft SO feet to
recover the string of tools.
A body of ore 37 feet in width has
been located on the 500-foot level of
the Pueblo mine at White Horse, and j
the grade of the ore is about the same
as that encountered on the upper
levels.
A large body of high-grade ore has
been located on the 150-foot level of
the Grafter. The miners have been
working for many months on the low
er levels in rich deposits of copper,
but this strike came as a surprise,
both on account of its richness and ex
tent.
A. B. Palmer, principal owner in
the Valerie mine in the Whitehorse
copper belt, will be early in March
prepared to put on a full force for de
velopment work on that property,
[which is believed to be one of the
most valuable in the district.

SHE INVESTED $500
AND NOW RECEIVES
RETURN OF $65,000
MILWAUKEE, Wis,—(Special.)—
Twenty-five years ago Mrs. M. L.
Martin paid 10 cents a share tor 5,
000 shares of Hecla mining stock.
Mrs. Martin forgot the investment
and changed her name to Mrs. Mary
Humes.
A few days ago, after a search of
years, the company located her under
her new name, paid her $65,000 in
back dividends and informed her the
stock now was worth $8 a share.
In the early days of the company,
when assessments were being levied,
John A. Finch, one of the officers,
himself paid the assessments totaling
$400% The company was a mining
investment headed by some Mil
waukee men.
AN OPPORTUNITY
I have received instructions to sell
all the portrait negatives and certain
equipment and furniture of the Alex
ander photographic studio. A list of
the articles for sale will be found at
the Seward Drug store, Hettel’s, and
Brown & Haw’kins.
The late Clyde Alexander was a
portrait photographer of the first
rank. He was chief operator for
James & Bushnell of Seattle, for
seven years, and during his career
won several medals at different ex
positions.
There are only two studios on the
coast that approach the quality of
his work, and a negative taken and re
touched by him is w’orth having. By
having the negative you can have any
number of prints made from it by any
ordinary photographer at low cost.
The negatives of a studio are its capi
tal and are never sold except under
the present condition, and this oppor
tunity you should not miss. To get
the negatives of the picture you had
taken, communicate u’ith D. C.
Brownell, before April 1, 1917.
