MINERAL BELT IN KENAI
Extending the entire distance across the Kenai peninsula
from Nuka bay to Turnagain Arm near Girdwood, 100
miles from Southwest to northeast, is a well defined min
eral belt that carries gold in small stringers and large
veins.
That belt crosses near the head of Resurrection river,
about 20 miles west of Seward, and shows up distinctly
again north of Kenai lake in the Quartz creek and the
Moose Pass regions. Geologists consider it probable that
the gold bearing rocks on Crow creek north of Girdwood,
and again the gold and copper ores out-cropping on the
Knik river watershed are all of the same belt.
At Nuka bay, at Moose Pass and on Crow creek,'de
velopment work has been done to an extent that proves
much of the ore in this belt to be high grade. Some of it
at Nuka bay runs as high as $40 per ton, though not in
large veins so far? In the Moose Pass district values of
$8 to $10 per ton have been proven in ledges that are trac
ed for nine miles.
It is a field that offers opportunities for mining men
who are looking for big operations.
This ore belt may prove to be one of the permanent
hard rock mining districts of large dimensions in the
whole of Alaska.
Mrs. Austin C. Ostermann of Atlanta has done her
bit toward making the pathway of divorce lawyers easy,
as her marital records shows: Married Ostermann;
divorced him. Married H. A. Carter; divorced him. Mar
ried Ostermann a second time and divorced him; then a
third time and divorced him. Now she has married him
for the fourth time.
John F. Weakley, bank cashier at Donelson, Tenn., re
cently demonstrated that there is nothing “weakly” about
him except his name. When two bandits attempted to
rob the bank, he shot it out with them, capturing one and
chasing the other away without booty.
We read that “twin bills” have been introduced in
the House and Senate of a state legislature. We hope
the idea doesn’t spread if its aim is to make them compul
sory.
While he is out West,, President Coolidge might win
favor with Tammany by rigging himself up in Indian cos
tume.

—A fine lot of milling and high grade
ore came into Valdez last week from
the Ether Mining Company’s proper
ty on Mineral Creek, some of the
samples carrying phenomenal values
in gold. Frank M. Kempfer, presi
dent and general manager of the
company, who brought in the sam
ples, says the mine is now in. shape
for a mill, and in order to continue
the development of the two good ore
shoots, where there is plenty of mill-|
ing and high grade ore in sight to ;
keep the mill in constant operation, j

turn over, is resting easily at the
hospital and will be out in a few days.
It was feared at first that she might
have suffered internal injuries, but j
a later examination showed she only j
sustained bruises.

A letter received at Valdez by Dan
Wilcey from H. J. Rutherford, one of
the discoverers of the Ramsay-Ru
therford mine, says that he has been
in Texas since last February. The
letter was dated at Rankin, which he
says seems to be a good oil country,
but it is hot and dry, with only three
good rains since he has been there.
The oil wells, he says, range from ■
1000 to 1350 feet in depth and pro
duce from 200 to 1500 barrels of oil
a day. The principal drawback, he
says, is that there is no demand tor
the oil.
