the hill hack of Heat son’s mine pro-j
duces the results which all the mininy ;
j men who have looked at it expect.
This hill has been described as a moun
tain of copper ore by several experts!
who have examined it.
The property was located several
Wears ayo by a prospector named Axel
! Linn, who took in as partner the fore-!
man of Meat son’s mine, who furnished
i him a little money and lie did onouyh
j development work to show the possi
bilities of the hill. Lately the prop
erty was bonded to a representative of
: British capital, ami a tunnel will be
Ik.ied this winter by a dozen men
with machinery.
The work will bo inauynrated under
the direction of Henry H. Kaedick. a
t'aliforuia mininy expert, who cam - to
Seward on the Portland to cable Jo

tal. He had l ist spi-nt several Weeks

INLET MAILS TO
GO OVER TRAIL
Carrier Will Start Twice a Month
After Arrival of Excelsior
and Santa Ana.
With the arrival of the Fxcelsior the
! overland mail schedule \Yili jjo into • • f
| feet to Sunrise and Hope. Anton Hide
has thi‘contract hut Feed Ihiefs will,
carry the mail. It will ”o twice a
; month, following the arrival of the F.x
j celsior and tin* Santa Ana, about the
11th and L'Uth of each month until the ]
! end of Match. Hast winter the mail
! went only once a month.
t hief ( let K Fames has not been able
J so far to induce anyone to take the'
route to Tyoonok. by way of Knik.
! This was to have been a monthly mail,
hut-the bids for carrying it were all
hivhthat when Mr. Fames was here
early in < >etober he was obliged to re*
'ject them, knowinu’ that the depart
ment would disallow t hem.
It seems probable that residents of j
t he north side of the Arm will have to
to •: their mail at Sunrise and Hope
1 hy sending a carrier there ns they
havt done heretofore. This i- easy for
these just across the Inlet, hut points
at a considerable distance such as
Tyoonok, will ;;et their mail mmi*
oec.c ionally.
Frank Watson brought word from
Sunrise last nijjht that tie* Inlet
-tear irs were jj<>in-_ out of business
■ the w inter. Tim Tronic had just |
-'arted back to Seldovia lor the 1 a—t
niine. and (’apt. Hlnd_>vtt. had an
nounced when she left that port that '
the trip would b< her last. He was j
| cbjsitur lip his estate at Seldovia. pre-;
j artoiy to -’oinjj out for the winter.
Although th<*ro is not a -ij»n of ice
; in the inlet yet. experience has taujjrht
; t he old timers tint t he est uaries a re
I F.a’ole to freeze up in a nijj’ht at any
; time after the first of November, stilli
cient!y to hold a boat, and the owners
, will not take chance-. < >n the other
hand the Inlet is stem-times open all
winter.
LlKiS PROSPECT AT
TAILS CREEK MINES
•• (lood enough to invite development
work," is the vei’d et on the balls
, reek quartz di-covero-s. of L. F.
j Shaw, who c 'um to Seward on the
j t 'or win. Mr. Shaw is interested in the
. Skene and I.eehr.er properties with H.
A. Ingalls, who took a bond on them
' last month. Sii then four men have 1
been work-|ng under the direct ion of
Skene, and Ledmer running a iunnei
j on li:e lead.
Mr. Shaw came from Nome, where
j lie Inis been engaged for stN'eral years
'in v. spaper work ami mining, lie
! will spend the w -ok in Seward and may
remain here permanently il lie likes
the region a> well as he thinks he will
| from what in has seen in a few days.
; lie went to Falls creek the day after
his arrival in Seward and on his re
turn lie said:
"The Falls Creek claims look good
I to use. of course all you can say of
any undeveloped mine is that it is it
i prospect. This property is certainly
i very promising' arid it gets better as
the men go in farther. The pay streak
is widening as the tunnel goes farther)
into the hill. We will follow it until;
i we get results or decide that there is
no mine there. A man can afford to
j work a prospect hole where lie gets
, such rock as j his."
i Then Mr. Shaw held up a chunk of
j quartz in which gold specks could easily
, be seen with the naked eye. Numerous
similar specimens have been displayed
in town before by the Falls creek
j claim owners'
Mr. Shaw is an old acquaintance of
; Skene, Lechner and Armstrong, who
I own the claims on which Ingalls and
Shaw have taken a bond. He was with
them in Siberia in the Kosene mining
exploration party in liltWhen they
made the Falls creek locations in July
they wrote to him at once for assistance
in developing the property. As a re
sult Mr. Ingalls came down and took a
bond on the property, and Mr. Shaw
! has followed.
