CHICAGO, Sept. 20. • (£>)—Jack
Dempsey yesterday presented his
manager. Leo Flynn, with a $9000
diamond bracelet as a gift for Mrs.

opinion of the boxing experts that
rumors of the rift between Dempsey
and his pilot were just rumors.

MINERAL WEALTH IN
ALASKAN RANGE IS
SURVEYED BY CAPPS
LACK OF TRANSPORTATION FAC
ILITIES SAID HANDICAP
FURTHER WORK
There is no doubt that' the Copper
Mountain in tr TcTUt-Tonzo ja le
gion of Ah.V? is extensively liber
alized, but ‘lit work done so i'c^ is
inadt-qua'- tu demonstrate wiethv*
tl'.e bodies ot high-grade ore would
make mining profitable, says Geclo
gist Stephen R. Capps of the Geolo
gical Survey, Department of the In
terior, in a study of the district, just
made public. Mr. Capps left Seward
Saturday enroute to Washington, D.
C. having completed his season’s ac
tivities in Alaska.
Sulphides of zinc, lead, iron and
copper, with varying contents of gold
and silver, are reported by Mr.
Capps. The gelena, he says, com
monly carries much silver, and as
says have been obtained tha tshow
more than 200 ounces of silver and
$6 to $17 in gold to the ton.
Possible development of the Tok
lat-Tonzona region is seriously han
dicapped by lack of transportation,
according to Mr. Capps, who explains
that before a branch line of the Alas
ka Railroad would be justified, the
presence of considerable bodies or’
high-grade ore would have to be
established.
No productive mining has so far
been done in the region under
discussion, though several lodes car
rying silver,, gold, lead, and copper
have been staked, and some develop
ment work has been done. In t’<e
Kantishna district, however, just,
north of this region, placer raining
has been conducted on a moderate
scale each year since 1905, and the
total output of placer gold to the end
of 1925 has been about $556,000. Re
cently considerable attention his
been given to the lode deposits o?
the district. A large number of lod°s
have been staked on quartz veins
carrying silver, gold, an t lead and
other lodes carrying promising bo
dies of antimony ore. One group of
claims on Friday Creek has yielded
a considerable quantity of high-grade
silver ore, though no system,trie min
ing has been done. All the lode pro
spects and mines of the Kantishna
district are on veins that cut the
Birch Creek schist. The schist in
this area occurs only at the northern
margin of the Toklat-Tonzona region
and has not yet been found in the
Alaska Range south of the Kantishna
district. All the prospects now
known along the northwest front of
the Alaska Range from Muldrow Gla
cier southwestward to the basin of
Tonzona River lie along the margins
of granitic intrusive masses, either
in the intrusive itself or in the in*
vaded sediments near the granitic
recks. Furthermore, rather close
prospecting has failed to disclose
the presence of placer gold in en
couraging amounts.
Absence of P|!acer Gold
Is Not Definite Sign
The absence of placer gold, how
ever, does not necessarily mean that
gold-bearing lodes are not presenL
