DISCOVERY OF I
DIG BONANZA
-
How S. L. Likes Found His Cop
per Ledge on the Last Shore
of Resurrection Bay.
It is always interest iny to know how
bonanza mines are discovered. As it is
well within the ran ye of possibility
that one of these yi eat ore shoots has
been found on Kesurrection bay, the
wav it came to he revealed makes yood
readiny. Keferenee is made to the
Like* copper find on I’orcupine hay.
Lor a couple of years past S. K. Likes
:ual a part tier named Harris had been
workiny at intervals on a prospect
winch showed copper siyus. Scattered
l.\ were Heat specimen* ol solid dial*
c< <\ rite ote. and tlie propectors in
,: {l_ . ,S in th» vain lame that at :i
Lven dept!i they would encounter a
iedye of like character. As work pro
ii ssed. t hey apparent I \ wer*' no near

I.11, fin i her • ffort at that point.

Likes went down aynin last spriny.
ile was h ath to desert a place where
siuvh rich i’oat could he found. He had
ii,ai'ti. H-V'-.irbelore, an immense iedye
. ,)(' Titanic irt.u, hut it did not occur to
him that this co. Id he associated with
Ci<>tier m e. One day while meander*
- i:ai :t«vni;d a ylacier that 'ins at tin
in,,..of 1 'e.: e.i'-ine hay. lookiny. as he
;,ae h • n doore, for .sOUic siyn
of a copper out crop, Likes picked up a
chunk of tloat. a part of which was a
deep black color, the other as yellow
as yold. The mystery was solved.
The prospector immediately ivcoynized
the dark metal as beiny Titanic iron
from the ledye which he had previous
ly found.ami the yellow mineral as the
chaicopyrite ore, the hidiny place o!
which, lu- had so lony sou/ht.
As fa*: as his iimhs could take him,
Likes, hied himself to the iron ledye,
and a brief investiyation showed him
that the Titanic iron w;t> a cappiny for
a in.foot copper led/e of solid ore. the
lat ter beiny hidden from view hy tin*
yl.icier. Likes himself admits that
when lie realized the import of his
discovery, he yave forth a yell beside
which the most viyoroiis vocal effort of
, an Int an brave on murder bent would
be but an echo.
