FUTURE OF QUARTZ MINING
t . ——————
The Geological Survey report, compiled by James C.
Ray, on the Willow Creek district may be set down as
the most optimistic, thorough pronouncement ever made
upon the subject of mining in the history of the Geolog
ical Survey.
Not only does the report go into every ramification
of ore deposition and values, but it answers for all time
the erroneous supposition that ore bodies in Western
Alaska do not go down.
A significent paragraph, and one which should awak
en the keenest interest of mining men is the following:
“The vein mineralization and texture and the charac
ter of wall-rock alteration are typical of the veins formed
at intermediate temperature, and the veins bear a strik
ing similarity to those of the famous Grass Valley, Cali
fornia. As the veins are characteristic of those formed at
moderate to intermediate depths (4,000 to 12,000 feet) it
follows that the fractures through which the solutions
circulated must have attained at least the same depths .
. . . therefore the parts of the veins (left after ero
sion of surface) can be expected to continue downward
for several thousand feet.”
One Nebraska community is raising so much cabbage
this year that it is considering starting a cigar factory.
Henry Ford says the time is arriving when materials
now being drawn from the mines will come from the an
nual produce of the fields. Now if he will only tell us how
to grow a 500-foot shaft through arsenopyrite we’ll be
lieve him.

Sh-h-h-h. Spawning bears and
warbling moose! Park the glass
ware and chuck the fizz-water.
This probably would have been the
favorite expression in Seward for
some time hadn’t the brand new
bunch of badge totters, who were
assertedly a new flock of “geoducks”
to migrate to the city, been expos
ed.
However, all this chaos was aver
ted when the police reporter spied
this new bunch of “badge totting
boids” and started to get the low
down. He found that the badge
totters were nothing but a good
natured bunch of local firemen who
were flashing their new silver
plated fire department badges on
unsuspecting persons. The Sew
ard Volunteer fire department re
ceived the badges on one of the
last boats from the south and they
are beauties. They bear the initials
of the fire department and also
carry a number such as 1, 2, or 3
to designate the firemen’s number
in the organization. There are 20
members in the local organization
and the Chief, Fred Kielcheski,
wears badge No. 1.
Thirty-two hundred cases of sal
mon packed at the local fisheries
plant here w^ere shipped Outside on
the SS. Admiral Watson.
Pilot Frank Dorbandt flew into
Seward Sunday forenoon with his
pontoon plane and took off within
a few hours and headed back to
Anchorage.
BIG CLEANUP SOON
Reports from Girdwood say that
the outlook in the J. E. Holmgren
placer property is for a big cleanup
this season. Mr. Holmgren has,
for the past three years, devoted
much time to opening new ground
and getting in shape for a more
enlarged program. It is reported
that it is only a question of driving
the gravel thru the sluice boxes.
Fred Fair man, know’n to his
many friends as the “Alaska Kid”
left on the SS. Admiral Watson for
Seattle and is en route to Tor
onto, Canada. Fairman, who al
! ready has a large number of fistic
| engagements to his credit, both
j in Alaska and the “Outside,” in
| tends to motor from Seattle to
| Toronto and will pick up bouts
wherever he can. He will fight un
der the name of “The Alaska Kid.”
Flowers made to order for alJ
occasions. Sylvia’s.
FLOATING HERRING PLANT
Strangest craft of all the ships
that ply from Seattle, the motor
vessel Donna Lane with 10 young
women as part of her crew, June
25, left Seattle bound for Kodiak
Island ready for another season as
an Alaskan herring packer. The
young women will work as herring
gibbers aboard the queer looking
! vessel which serves Oceanic Fish
eries, of Seattle, as a floating ware
house, fish saltry and cold stor
age plant.
SEWARD WON GAME
Starting the baseball game Sun
day afternoon with a “bean-ball”
which caught the third mate of the
SS. Admiral Watson square in the
left eye, Roger Paul and the Seward
baseball team fought their way
through a closely contested game
to win over the Watson nine by a
score of 13 to 8. The game went
nine innings. This is the first game
Seward has won this year and it
was practically a new lineup which
faced the Watson nine. Seward, in
previous games this season has
gone down repeatedly before the
onslaught of the Discoverer and
I Navy teams.
