J. J. KEENEDV TELLS ALASKAN
FUTURE OF COUNTRY IS AS
SURED AND THAT i'ROFEIt
T1ES WILL BE WORKED ON A
LARGE SYSTEMATIC MANNER
AFTER THIS SEASON.
JL J Kennedy, U. S. commission
er at Haines, has just returned
from 'lie Rainy Hollow district
where mining is now in full swing
on one of the rich groups of
claims which was bonded last sea
son by the Alaska Corporation. In
a statement of the mining activi
ty in th^t region Mr. Kennedy
says:
"After a lliorough examination
early this spring by Professor Bard,
Minerologist and miuing engineer,
it was decided to open up the
Maid of Krin property, which. was I
immediately started after th© pre
liminary work sucjj as gettting a
road built to the mine, also in
stalling permanent bridges across
the Uarvis and other small streams
to facilitate transportation in mak
ing a ptrmanent camp for the men
aud horses, and to insure a speedy
development of ims Dig raigg 01
Bornito ore. 1 might state that in
order 'o get the very best results
from the start the foreman, Jim
Harrington, ran an open cut 60
feet long. This cut is the ap
proach. to the tunnel. The tun
uel started from the end of this
cut and the ore showed up from
the very start In solid formation,
pure lornite. They u.re now in
3y feet on the ledge and no indi
cation of a wall. Jim Harring
ton, wno is one of the most prac
tical Copper miners in the north
west, assured me that ho figured
that he will have to run in a dist
ance «>f at leaat 200 feet before
he reaches the hanging walls. All
indications points to a solid ore
body to hanging wall. Engineers
and mining men who visited the dis
trict this season speak in glow
ing terms of this property, and ex
pressed themselves by saying that
it would be a close runner to the
Bonanza.
"Ona can very readily form an
opinicu as to the values in this
immense ore body from the follow
ing assays taken every two feet
across the ledge iu the tunnel;
100 «.zs. iu silver 50 percent copper
and $2.50 in gold. Tlt>s is only
one of the many properties in the
Rainy Hollow district, taken over
last fall by the Alaska Corporation.
The ore bodies in this district, have
laid dormant for years through lack
of transportation, while it Is also
true tnat the big expense to begin
operatic ns in this mineral belt
which covers an area of four square
miles was not a small man's propo
sition. Railroad transportation has
been more or less of a stumbling
block to capital In Alaska, but af
ter all the faithful years of the
patient prospector, he is now
about to see the new dawn of his
hopes realized, and who on earth
U more justly entitled to it than
the hardy pioneer aaid prospector.
"Tnero are many fine properties
in the district for Instance the
Custer lead which is the proper
ty of Timothy Creedon. This lead
is located for a distance of two
miles ai d all the property is sur
veyed and patented. The Custer
ledge is about 40 feet wide there
is a Ii r open cut and tunnel 40
feet i>n this property on solid ore
which assays 7 per cent copper,
15 per cent lead, and 12 ozs. in
silver. It is very encouraging to
know that the future of the camp
is now assured and that the pro
perties will be worked on a large
systematic manner after this sea
son."
GIDEONS TO PLACE BIBLES
IX SKAGWAY HOTELS
| The Gideons, an organization of
traveling men who have agreed to
use their influence in placing bibles
in hotel rooms, are represented in
Skagway this week by Frank B.
Benson, state superintendent. Lastl
evening Mr. Bensoin told a little of
ills >\ork to the gathering of the
Presbytery in the Skagway Presby
terian Church, and how through
ills efforts bibles had been placed
in the hotel rooms of Anchorage
»nd Cordova. Each Gideon bible
costs about 60c, and Mr. Benson
eaid there were about 90 hotel
rooms in Skagway. In less than
five minutes $54.00 were subscribed
which will purchase the 90 bibles,
cne for each hotel room in, the city. '
Earth Under Them
Sky Over Them
That's All
Washington,— (Mail)—H. P. Da
vidson, chairman oj ths Red Crosa
War Council, announces the receipt
of the following cable from the
Red Crore Commission to France:
"Along that de0olate path of ruia
behind the French and British, lines
.from Belgium to Switzerland, the
American Red Cross work of relief
and economic rehabilitation under
.Edward Eyre Hunt, Chief of the
Bureau, has rapidly taken shape.
Returning refugees and repatriates
have earth under them and sky
over inem,—that is all. The land
lias been swept clean.
"Twentieth Century Frenchmen
.have to begin again where North
American Indians would begin — by
hunting for food, temporary shel
ter, a few. clothes to cover them,
a handful of household goods and
utensils such as pots, pans, knives
and pdoou, an agricultural imple
ment or two and perhaps a rabbit
and 9Liue chickens, and, if they are
very lucky, a goat or a donkey.
"it is to help such peopple Bs
these that the American Red Cross
has located its relief warehouses
at strategic points just behind fhe
lines, such as Sois&oms, Noyon, Ham
and Peronne, and is shipping in
food, rothes, blaketg, beds, mat
tresses, stoves, kitchen utensils#
reapers and binders, mowing-ma
chines, tUrestitng-inac nines, garueu
tools an 1 hundreds of other articles
o£ prime importance to people who
.were orosperous and contented only
three years ago. The service o£
relief dud economic rehabilitation,
hag divided its field into >>lx dis
tricts:
"One for the extreme north, and
Pas de Cailais; one for the Somme;
one for the Oise; one for the
Aisne; o.ne for the Marne and
Meuse; cne for Meurthe and Mosell.
"Resident American delegates
have tjeen assigned to those'
whose duties are to oversee dis
tribution of relief, to report new
needs, and to co-operate In every
possiDle way with, the admirable
relief work of the French Govern
ment and scores of devoted French,
and other organizations."
