LOOK FOR GOLD!
This is the mandate handed by tha big mining interests of the na
tion to their field engineers.
This is the information Tom Babcock brought back from the States
on his return from several weeks spent along the coast from Seattle to
Los Angeles, at the latter of which he made extensive tests for
the purpose of obtaining a flow sheet of his mine output.
In line with the mandate of the big mine operators a number of
engineers will be dispatched co Alaska this summer to look over pros
pects and ascertain what the Alaska Railroad Zone has to offer in the
form of prospective gold producers. Among these engineers will be Mr.
McDonald, representing the Canadian Consolidated, whose objective is
Willow Creek, where some of the best little mines in the Territory have
been developed, and where othrs are in process of development.
Among the big summer’s activities will be those of M- J. Conroy and
Capt. Nick Gaikema, owners of the Webfoot, almost continguous to the
Fern, operated by Macdougall and associates under a six-year lease,
and the ground for which was sold by Conroy and associates to Jerome
Drumheller. Incidental with the lease on the Fern property the Mac
dougall interests purchased the High Grade claim from M. J. Conroy, j
and are prepared to operate on an extensive scale during the summer. I
The Fern is equipped with a 25-ton mill and cyanide plant.
According to reports it is the intention of Messrs. Conroy and Gaik
ema to develop the Webfoot with a view to placing it on a producing
basis. Its present development consists of a tunnel 125 feet in length ;
driven on a 24-inch vein high up the hill. This vien has all the ear
marks of a fissure, is well-placed and shows milling values. It is be
lieved it will duplicate the finds on adjacent properties and increase in
richness with depth. The topography of the hill offers splendid oppor
tunities for securing depth by tunnel, and such workings would de
bouch on Archangel creek, offering abundant water for milling pur
poses, as well as being within 100 yards of a truck road.
Among other good holdings owned by Messrs. Conroy and Gaike
ma is the old Homestead group, wildcatted several years ago, but laps
ed through inability of the company to finance and continue develop
ment. The property is located near the head of Mills creek, and much
stripping and surface development disclosed three well-defined veins,
all showing values in gold. A short tunnel, driven high up the hill was
designed to cut these three veins.
Adjoining the Homebuilders is another very promising group of
six claims owned by Dave Skarstad and patented. Mr. Karstad drove in
excess of 200 feet of tunnel along a vein near the base of the hill, and
several cross-cuts show the property up in good shape. Like the Home
builders, these is a sled road passing hte prospect.
Both the Homebuilders and the Opal group, owned by Skarstad, are
on the series of veins traversing the Fern mine, which has taken out
much remarkably rich ore. As values are present in, all these veins it is
anticipated that Mills creek will soon take its place among the big pro
ducing areas of the Willow Creek district.
The man of genius is silent about his own merit.
