Great Gold Hines
Curie considers Mount Morgan the
greatest gold mine in the world. Those
that most nearly approach it are: The
Homestake, in South Dakota; Robin
son, Ferreirra Deep, Simmer and Jack
in the Transvaal, and the Waihi, in
the North Island of New Zealand.
Mount Morgan has paid over $27,500,
000 in dividends. It has an immense
ore body, workable for over 20 years
to come. The average value of the
ore is high, working costs are low.
The Homestake and Simmer and Jack
treat far more ore, but it is low grade.
The Robinson and Ferreirra Deep are
richer, but they have not the past rec
ord and will be worked out while the
Morgan is still producing. The Alas
ka Treadwell can be worked for one
tifth the cost. Golden Horseshoe is
twice as rich, but it has only one ton
in sight to Mount Morgan’s ten; its
ore is eight times as poor. The Mount
Morgan is not a hill of gold-bearing
quartz, but the greater part of it is
gold-bearing. All the top of the hill,
250 yards long, 400 wide and 150 deep,
is being quarried away and more than
half is ore.—Mining Topics.
A. L. Levy, the Valdez banker, is
in Seward to see what a real good town
is like. He went out on the railroad
on the special and complimented the
the line highly.
