Leonard Seppala,‘who recently re-1
turned from the Candle section, rep-|
orts that the people of that part of t he j
per.insula are very much interested in
and have exceedingly optimistic hopes]
concerning the Galena mine owned Jby]
Mr Soderberg or Seattle ana otnersj
nnd at present being developed underi
the direction of a Mr. Klge, who is em
ploying a crew of several men and has!
taken out a large quantity of oral
which is said to contain excellent val-j
ues in gold, silver and lead.
The mine is located on the Kuggulc
river about twenty eight miles from.
Candle. The development work done
on the property consists of one shaft
forty feet in depth and a cross cut;
drift about 100 feet long. The oroj
vein is said to average about twenty'
feet in width nnd carries values aver
aging. according to sample tests, in
excess of $83 per ton.
Assays of samples from the vein
showed values of $40, during the earl-'
'or stages of development. As depth'
v .s attained the values increased and
feeding assays taken at intervals
while development was proceeding
.-hawed $60, and $100. The last assay
made showed a content value of $101.
The tests in each instance were from
average vein rock and are considered
to show the true average values.
Picked samples tested showed values
in silver up to $300 per ton. Rock
t ikon from the waste dump by E. E.
Fierce and others is said to have .s
. yod values up to $'J per ton.
Tin* owners have about 1200 tons of;
• >!<> <m the* dump which is expected to
average $83 per ton in value. About
•do tons of lower grade rock are also
oa the dump and is said to eontain
.ufficient values to handle with profit.
As far as .Mr. Heppala could learn
the mine has an exceedingly promis
ing outlook as far as values are fon
ts ••net! but like the majority of other
quartz mines in this section, is situat
ed a considerable distance from open
transportation routes and labors un
d« r the usual transportation difficult -
•i s. The owners of the Kugruk prop
erty intend to try motor traction as
a possible means of solving their S-an
rportation difficult it s and are planning
to bring in a tractor of sufficient pow
er to pull about forty tons on trucks,
in the meantime, they have purchased
an outfit of small barges or scows and
figure on floating the ore down to the
mouth of the Kugruk during the open
se.a-on. Mr. Elge, who is in charge of
the mine, is said to be a quartz man
of consklerab e ability and '.vide rx
porlence.
Mr. Heppala alsj reports that p:ep
arations for summer mining were nl
- ;,c.y under way at the ditch camps
of the Candle and Fairhaven compan
ies. The machinery for tlie new Ivor
Johnson dredge, which will be instal
led on Candle creek almost within the
municipal confines of Candle next
summer, ha3 been brought down from
rhe Kugruk, where Mr. Johnson for
merly operated. The owner intends to
float the hull down on the high witter
during the sprinj ore.ik-uk if possible.
Mr. Seppala states that Candle is is
p* , ly as usual in a social way and two
very successful entertainments have
he. n pulled off during tlu* winter, ir.
Til ion to a round of dances a^d pri
v. e functions. Miss Bryant, niece of
R. S. Ditnmick, is said to have proven
an entertainer of exceptional ability
and her talents have* contributed
greatly t<> the success <»f the entertain
ment functions given during the closed
season. One white wedding occurred!
during the winter but Mr. Seppala
did not learn the name of one of the
contracting parties, the bride, who is
said to be a school teacher. The
groom was a Mr. Corbett. The wed
ding occurred shortly before the arri
val of Seppal i an 1 Dr. Fromm at
Mr. Seppala says he departed from
Candle alone, leaving I)r. Fromm to
make the return trip under another pi
make the return trip under another
pilot. If the outlined itinerary of the
doctor's trip has been adhered to. he
was due to arrive at Fnnlakleet Sun
day or today.
Regarding his contemplated attempt
to break the Borden Cup race record
established by F. M. Ayer in the re
cent contest over the Cape Nome
course, Mr. Seppala says the trails
are in such condition owing to the re
cent falls of loose snow that he will
probably not make the trial until con
are moroi favorable for record
breaking. Seppala says he has not
much hope of breaking the record as
his dogs have been working heavily
since his departure from Nome with
Dr. Fromm and have been making
many forced runs of fifty or sixty miles'
a day. As a result, they are hardly!
in a condition to display their best
speed capacities sit the present time.
He says, however, that ho will try for,
the record but has slight hope of being
able to lower the time set by the Ayer
speedsters, to which he pays the tri
bute of saying that he believes they are
about the fastest things in clog hide
that have ever appeared in this part
of the world.
