•THE MOHAWK ORE
SHOOT PROVES
TO BE A WONDER
The Locator of the Mining Claims Surely
Guessed the Right Name, “The Wonder”
The Mohawk Tunnel was sampled a few days ago by
9 Mr. C. H. Holmes, of Anchorage, a reputable
Mining Engineer.
THE VEIN SHOWS A CONTINUOUS ORE SHOOT, FOR OVER 159 FT. IN LENGTH AND STILL RICH ORE IN THE BREAST OF THE TUNNEL AT A DEPTH
OF 500 FEET, AND THOUSANDS OF TONS IN SIGHT.
When I first placed the Mohawk Stock on the market
in the middle of November, I had nothing to back me up,
not even an assay, from the property.
All I had on which to base my calculations was what
gold panning I had done myself, on the surface croppings
of the vein;-until November 25th, when John Aho, one
of the miners, came down from the mine, and brought
some samples of ore, which wrere assayed.
Then a few days before Christmas two of the direct
ors of the company went up to the mine and brought down
more samples of ore.
Now, in my own opinion, I was fully satisfied with
the samples brought down by these gentlemen, but all of
them were interested parties.
Dozens of people, here in Anchorage, told me that
they would buy some Mohawk stock, if they were sure
that the assays were not picked samples of the ore. So
finally I persuaded the company to send a disinterested
party to sample the mine and they selected Mr. Holmes
to go to Willow creek to sample the vein in the tunnel.
Mr. Holmes took 28 samples across the vein, every 5
feet apart, beginning 23 feet in from portal of the tunnel.
This part was timbered, so on that account he was unable
to sample same.

Has Examined Mines in All Parts of the World.
Mr. C. IT. Holmes, C1. E. E. M., is a graduate of Frie
burg, Germany anil also of Harvard and Yale. Was em
ployed as mining engineer by De Beers & Rhodes Mining
Company, and also experted properties for Buckingham,
De-Beers & Co.. Syndicate, of London, England, one of
the largest mining syndicates in the world. During that
time he examined mines in South Africa, India, Russia,
Peru, Chile.
In the l nited States he has examined properties in
Montana, Idaho, California, Oregoi:. Colorado, Arizona,
Nevada and Alaska.
In Colorado he was one of the first mining engineers
to make a report on Stratton’s Independence mine of
Cripple Creek.
The mine was later sold to an English syndicate for
$9,000,000.00.
He also reported on the Clark Copper Consolidated
mine of Arizona.
Such is the record of the mining engineer who sam
pled the Mohawk tunnel, and says he believes that further
explorations would result in the discovery of important
ore bodies.
These assays show beyond a question of doubt that
we have the making of one of the largest and richest
mines in Willow Creek gold camp.
Just think of it, a continuous ore shoot, already ex
posed for over 159 feet, and rich ore still in the breast of
the tunneL, And a depth on the ore body of 500 ft. at the
breast
Mr. Holmes says the assays will average 90 per cent
gold, and 10 per cent silver, and no other metal in paying
quantities.
He further says that the geological horizon for sev
eral miles in any direction, from the Mohawk mine is
composed of granite rooks, alternating with grandiorite,
and quartz diorite, and that the vein system cuts the for
mations at right angles, and the veins occur as fissure
rains, there are frequent poi^y^ KtMSitfaiillireugh the
ore. and often several inohes of talc, and kaolinite selvage
On feithsi wdll. The evidence giv&h, th&refar&,pathbs con
clusively to a true fissuife origin df veths.
The slick and Well-defined wall of the vein evidence
* extensive plane faulting.
The strike of the vein, as determined in the tunnel
is N. 22 degrees W. and the dip is 41 degrees W. The el
evation of the mine is 3,185 feet above sea level.
40-Ton Mill to Be Installed by July 1st
The manager of the Mohawk Mining company has
authorized me to state to the public that the 40-ton Mo
hawk mill will be installed..and in operation, by July 1,
1917, or not later than August 1,1917. _
A 40-ton mill should grind out a lot of gold bullion
daily. The first seven assays taken in the tunnel show
an average of $44.00 per ton, for a distance of 35 feet.
This part of the vein I know is free milling, as I panned
some of the rock myself,, given to roe by Mr. Holmes. In
fact some of the richest ore panned over $100 per ton.
With such rich, free-milling gold ore, the possibility
of the Mohawk, as a bullion producer may astonish the
mining world.
Running the mill 24 hours per day, with ore milling
$44.00 per ton would'be a gross daily output of $1,760 per
day; that would nearly equal the output of the Martin
mill Best Ru*.
At any rate, should the mill run snocessfnlly, iu this
grade of ore, the Mohawk may pi-oduce over $50,000 per
month.
I am now placing on the market 120,000 shares of
Mohawk stock, part of which will be offered for sale to
the public at 10 cents per share for a few days only. The
price may be advanced at any time, without notice, to 25
cents a share.
With all these assays taken by a reputable mining
engineer, every five feet on the ore shoot, proves con
clusively that we have something worth while to sell
stock on.
Mohawk stock is cheaper today at 10 cents a share
than it was a month ago at 5 cents.
Over 57 feet more of ore has been opened up in the
tunnel, and the assays taken are conclusive proof that
we have rich ore in the mine.
Anyone, who has a $10.00 bill, may become a stock
holder, and get 100 shares. Everybody has this chance
now. In a few days it may be too late.

George Anderson, Fiscal Agent, or currency, to cover the
