Miners Cross-cutting on Fldalgo
Alaska Property Break Into
Lrj New Body
Thomas Donohoe and John Y.
O^trander returned yesterday
from a trip of inspection to the
property of the Fidalgo Bay Alas
ka Copper company, of which
they are president and secretary
respectively.
. iMr. Donohoe.has just finished
ohecking a number of assay re
ports and permitted the Prospec
tor reporter to copy them. There
were seven certificates giving re
turns for copper only with an av
erage of a fraction heller than
10 per cent. The sheets showed
the samples assayed as follows:
K.JO. 9.1)0, 10.20, 10.20, 10.20.
10.10 and I0.i0 per cent. At the
presenl quotation of cupper the
ore is worth *2H per ton.
The company is working a force j
of l(» men at present and the I
work of development is progress
ing steadily with everything run
ning smoothly. The returns of
the tirst shipment have not yet
bee.il received from the smelter,
but the otlieials expert them on j
the next steamer. The company |
plans In ship about 300 tons ofj
ore per month for the present,
but is routining its main efforts
to extensive development of thej
mine.
Until recently the work of de-I
vclopment has been largely con
fined to a big body of ore which
lies on the west side of the sheer
zone. Recently it was decided to
run a cross-cut to the eastward
and after drifting some distance'
the miners broke into a body of
i per cent copper, which they be
lieve will develop into a big body
of high grade ore. The condi-i
lions are identical with those
fioin which the shipments are
now being made.
