Col. J. P. (Irani, a mining en
gineer of world-wide, reputation
and personally well known in
eveiy mining: camp by the men
who do things. lie represents
strong aggregations of English
anil French capital, and judging
from the tenor of his remarks
will, in conjunction with Mr. C.
K. Campbell, another mining man
of note, be a strong factor in the
development of this camp. Mr.
< Irani is now on his way to the
outside, to be absent three or
four weeks, when he will return
here and spend a couple of
months examining properties
with Mr. Campbell before pro
ceeding to Nome, where he goes
to examine ;i lar^e area of dredg
ing ground for .Ww York capital
ists.
"This is my lirsl \isil lo Alas
ka." said Col. (Irani, in an inter
view accorded I In' Prospector,
"and I am especially pleased at
1 lio enterprise shown by riti
yens, ami the cunlidence shown
by them in Ihc resources of this
immediate section. Considering
I ho wealth of I lie community, the
vxtenl of their investments is
11*11 ly a remarkable example of the
lailh yimr people have in I In* fu
lui'i' of the ramp. On ihe basis
• >f which I spe.ak I hern is no
camp in Ihc world where ils citi
zens ha\e expended as much
money in Ihe development of
their resources as has been done
in Yaltfcz. II shows nol only your

myself.
"During our slay we were per
mitted to visil the ClilV mine and
we spent an entire morning and
afternoon in examining the prop
erly. I can only say the mine is
;ill thai has been claimed for it.
J was informed that a change of
iiiauagcmcnl recently took place
in the company holding Ihe lease
from Mr. Ellis, the locator. 1
have known Mr. Hamilton. Ihe
new manager, for -jn years, and
from his experience of a ipiarlcr
• >f a century in handling mining
■propcrl ics in Montana, some tif
leen years willi Ihe late Marcus I
l>aly. of Anaconda, lie should lie
a valuable man to tin1 company
operating the ClilV. At the same
time, I consider 111 ;i I Mr. Hay Mil
lard. Ihe late manager, has shown
greal ability, by Ihe comliliou in
which I found Ihe CIiIT mine dur
ing my visil. of course, il must
be taken under consideration thai
the properly was being operated
under a lease, and as a result, ev-i
erylhing in sight has been taken |
out as development was extended, j
"The mine has produced fabu
lous results considering Ihe cap- j
ilal invested. If the mine was
owned outright and was diligent
ly developed and under scientific
methods of inininir, should prove^
a greal producer in Ihe future.
"Numerous oilier properties
situated within a radius of 20
miles of Vablcz, owned by miners
who have approached me with a
view of having me enlist capital
for I tie i i* development, I have been
iiftable to visil on aecounl of Ihe
greal depth of snow, but I shall
see lliem upon my return. In this
connection I wish lo assure Ihe
citizens of Vablcz I hat both Mr.
Campbell and myself will do all
in our 'power lo advance Ihe in
terests of this seel ion, which I
have no hesitancy in saying, from
•what I have seen ami learned, has
a great future in sloro for II.
"t wish you would thank Ihe
members of the Tillikuin club for
mo, one and all, for the many
courlcsics they havo shown me
during my stay. It was indeed a
great pleasure in meeting so
many gonial and social fellows
away up in this northern land."
