ion Twin Mining Company, operat
ing the Mint mine and on Craigie
creek, of which Jack Doyle, mil
lionaire oil and mining man of Los
Angeles, is the owner, has closed i

Willow Creew. Manager Pyle would!
have preferred to continue work a ;
little while longer as they recent-f
ly struck a rich find on the Mint, j
He brought out a gold brick worth 1
$2500, the result of 10 days of j
work of four men. The brick was;
placed in the First National Bank
of Anchorage.
Jack Doyle has already expended
$110,000 in these mines. The gold
from the Mint is of exceptional
quality and brings $20 an ounce.
Pyle has been exceedingly pleas
ed with the season’s help of Mr.
Ray, a government geological min
ing expert whose assistance has
been a great help all summer.
A recent visit from Dr. Smith,!
successor to Dr. Alfred Brooks and I
present head of the geological work
in Alaska was enjoyed by the mine
officials, as was a call from Mr.
Mendenhall, United States geologi
cal expert and head of the work in
the United States. Manager Pyle
left Seward on last week’s boat
for the Outside.
