PEARSON MISSED
IT, SAYS ASSAYER
N
Harry Ellsworth is chuckling today
over the good news just received from
the Iron Creek Copper property, 25
miles from Talkeetna.
William Springer, well known min
ing engineer has taken over this
property and will ship ore next seas
on, the gold values in the calcopyrite
being sufficient to warrant the ex
pense of sending it out even before
rail transportation is available, ac
cording to word received by Ellsworth
This property has been traced over
14 claim lengths and was recom
mended bv Ellsworth years ago as
one of the big copper prospects of
Alaska. When the Pearson syndicate
experts were here some years back
they turned the property down.
“AH I want to see,” said Ells
worth, “is for the new owners to
make a few millions and I’ll send a
copy of their profit report to the
Pearsons with my compliments.”
