What is claimed to be one of the
largest mining deals ever consummat
ed in this part of Alaska was conclud
ed this week when George Anders o,
who floated the Mohawk property
obtatned control of the Gage mining
properties on Cache creek.
This property is well known to all
old-timers in this part of the country,
pnd is represented by them to be one
of the most promising in Alaska. The
richness of the property, as related
by men who have seen the ledges, is
almost beyond belief.
There are eight claims in the group,
all of which have been held by Gage
for the past five years, and upon
which he has done a large amount of
assessment work, which it is claimed,
makes a good showing.
Anderson is confident of the worth
of his properties, and is satisfied that
he has the best gold mining property
in Alaska today. He is making prep
arations to develop the property on a
large scale.
Douglas, died a few days ago in his
cabin in Douglas, of tuberculosis. Vu
isich resided at Douglas for several
years, but at the outbreak of the Eu
ropean war went home to fight for his
country, serving for two years, when
he was attacked by the “White
Plague.” Friends in Treadwell and
Douglas made up a purse to bring
him back to Alaska, hoping the cli
mate would benefit his health. He ar
rived at Douglas three and one-half
months ago, but the disease had made
rapid progress and he steadily grew
worse until the end came.
The Enstrom brothers, working on
21 above, Livengood creek, in the Tol
ovana country, are reported to have
struck extremely rich pay in which $2
pans are common. They have secured
an outfit and will commence work on
a large scale. The extent of the pay
is unknown.
The report of the collector of cus
toms shows that copper valued at
slightly more than four million dol
lars was shipped from Alaska last
month. The other exports amounted
to $800,000. The fish exports amount
ed for the month to $510,000.
