THE BIC THING
LED6E FOUND
Col. Conrad at Last Finds the
Ledge He Has 80 Long
Been Searching
The soul hern Yukon mining
district is jubilant, tho cause for
rejojicing being that the ore ledge
in the "Big Thing" mine near
Carcross, Y. T., which has been
persistently sought for many
months, has at last been struck.
The lost ledge of the Big Thing
mine has absorbed the attention
of the entire district, and upon
its recovery rested to a large ex
tent the future mining in souths
e.rn Yukon.
The faith of Col. Conrad, prin
cipal owner and general manager
of the mine; Expert. J. \V. Bry
ant and Foreman William II. Ire-'
land, in the existence of a great
ore body, has never wavered ami
now that the main ledge has been
recovered at a depth of 5(H) feet
below I he surface cropping,
I heir faith has been justified. The
ledge is in I he neighborhood of
eight feel wide and is known to
be of high grade, carrying silver,
lead and gold. It is expected thai
shipping will commence at once,
and llial oilier operalions which
have been in suspense during lite
continuance of the search for the
lost ledge, will now be greater
than ever before.
BUY HER
FOR KOYUKUK
Far Northern Camp Will Have
An Opposition Boat
oh Run
'I ii<; promises of the Koyukuk
camp have induced J. \V. McCord
and J. Kinney of Ester, to pur
chase the steamer Ben Hur,
formerly on the . Idilarod run,
which will be used in freighting
on the Hammond river. The oth
er owner of the boat i.s Captain
McCamant, who is now trading
over in the Colville river coun
try on the Arctic slope.
The boat, which was formerly
owned by McCamant and Marshal,
is a 75-foot stern wheel steam
er, well adapted to tho needs of
the Koyukuk. She was purchas
ed by McCord before he left, the
Koyukuk and he has 3ince sold an
interest in her to J. C. Kinney,
who is to be associated with him
in any ventures north of the Arc
tic circle.
Among the enterprises in
which the two men will be en
gaged will bo the working of Mc
Cord's lay on 2 below discovery
of Hammond river, ground that is
owned by Ben Sirr.
For this purpose McCord and
Kinney have purchased the 30
horse power boiler of the Tanana
Mill company, used in the old
mill at Oraehl, and this was ship
ped on the first N. N. boat which
left Nulato Juno 14. At the same
time the laymen have sent a 12
horae power boiler to be used
during the summer, whil" it if*
difficult to move maohincry, while
the 30-horse power boiler will be
freighted to the claim durihg the
winter. j
McCord himself left for the
Koyukuk on the Tetlin together
with A. Brown. The two men
havo staked the Big Nugget frac
tion on Hammond river next to
the Hoosier association claim,
and they are taking R. A. Jack
son, the mining surveyor, along
to mark the tfmindAries.
