< ATLIN MIXERS ENCOURAGED
Tom Kirkland of Atlln, who is
heavily interested In the Kirkland
group of mines is ou his way to the
outside for the winter. He will re
turn In the spring to resume opera
tions in the mines. The Kirkland
group of claims is adjoining the fam
ous Engineer Mine, and this group
of claims are showing up well as de
velopment progresses.
Mr. Kirkland, in speaking of the
article on the Atlln Silver-Lead Mine
in the last issue of the Alaskan, said
he thought we did not go far enough
in our statements regarding the en
couraging outlook In that district.
One statement in the article might
be misunderstood, that relating to
the cost of producing a ton of ore.
The cost of production was given ts
$70—that must be taken to include
the total cost from the time It is min
ed until the ore is extracted at the
smelter turned into cosh. If tak
en in that sense, the statement is
correct, otherwise it gives a wrong
impression.
The placer mines in that district
did well this summer and while en
gineers are slow to give out infor
mation, It is well knowu that the Mc
Kay, brothers, acd Mr. George, who
have been examining the Engineer
mine for their principals, took out a
ton of sampling ore when they went
j south.
The results from this ton of ore
will undoubtedly have a bearing on
the purchase or operation of the En
gineer mine, by the men who are
back of these engineers. If this big
mine opens up again, it will be oper
ated on a larger scale than at any
j time heretofore, an£ will help all
the miners iu the Atlin district.
Word has just been received that
i^e Harbor Boat Fornance will leave
Skagway for Fort Seward tomorrow
evening at 6.30. Admission at the
dance will be on limitation only.
