^he accident to Charles Simonstad,
“I have been engaged in the mining
industry for the p&st 30 years, and
duriijg that time have financed and
brought into profitable production 17
mining properties,” said Mr. Hurlock,
Sr. I found the big money for the
| Mother Lode coper mine, and aside
i from my present undertaking, that is
[the only Alaskan property in which I
have been concerned. As to the pre
sent undertakin, the Kotsina proper
j ties, I think that we will develop the
biggest and richest property in the
| history of my mining career, and this
| will be my last flotation. To open to
production Alaska’s greatest mining j
; property is my ambition, and indica-1
! tions are pointing to that direction.
Next winter we shall install large j
compressors to speed up the explora- i
lion work.”

, of the islands owned by the United j
i States, to take as bride a girl whom |
he had not seen for seven years. In
due time, later arrived at Attu, the j
wedding was held, the priest on board
ship officiating. On the next day,
