VOLUME XIV. NUMBER 24.
SEWARD, ALASKA, TUESDAY, JANUARY 29, 1929.
PRICE TEN CENTS
DENVER QUARTZ MILL ORDER
ED FOR bABCOCK & DOW
NEY, NUKA BAY
With a total assay value of
$38110 computed by tne Alasxa Col
lege mining department and hit
ting this enormously rich lead 80
feet sooner than had been expect
ed and live leet exposed on one
wall only, it is no wonder there
is much rejoicing at tne Babcock
& Downey quartz mine down at
Nul;a Bay as well as among the
mining iraternity in Seward.
Tne owners have ordered a 25
ton Denver quartz mill wnich will
arrive and be sent down to Sur
prise Bay in the spring. A concen
trating table is expected to arrive
Saturday on the S. S. Northwest
ern. Besides the Denver mill a
large quantity of additional mach
inery and accessories has been or
dered and upon receiving the new
equipment at least a half-dozen
miners will be employed to assist
in the erection and carrying on of
development work and actual op—
ertions next summer.
The Gateway is informed that
Mr. Babcock, whose ability as a
practical mining man is unquest
v..- — —- »»-s
known, states the showings ex
ceeds by far his highest expecta
tions. This statement, emanating
, from such a reliable source, can
be accepted as from a real author
ity, local mining men say, and
means interest in activities in the
Nuka Bay region will be revived
greater than ever.
Babcock & Downey have enlarg
ed the ore bin capacity for storage
and making other improvements
in preparation for the installa
t’on ot uiu ..vv m.—,
ting table. Development work
has uncovered hundreds of feet of
ore running $18 but the latest big
rich exposure, assaying $8800, has
all the appearance of being a tre
mendous body. The hanging wall
stands straight up.
Other mining men of the dis
trict, prior to reception of this
news, had already planned to car
ry on development work next sea
son Uut this announcement, which
reached fcewaio .v«.k, uus
'■ervecl to accelerate their actions
and, in some instances, to enlarge
the scope of operations.
It has been known for months
that a Spokane, Wash., group, who
are, to a large extent, shareholders
in the Alaska Hills Mine, are pre
pared to step in with at least $35,
000, providing their group can ob
tain a five-year lease on the Alas
ka Hills property. Their idea is, it
is stated, is to put in their own
i manager and engineer.
