ALASKANS ARE INTERESTED
IN BOLIVIA GOLD FIELDS
WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT TELLS OF POSSIBILITIES OF
SOUTH AMERICAN REPUBLICS AS FIELD FOR PLACER
MINERS—MANY ALASKANS GOING
J. J. Underwood.
Washington, I). C.—With a hand
sachel packcd to the brim with pass
ports, letters of introduction and oth
er official documents, all covered with
gold seals, blue ribbons, American
flags, screaming eagles, and other
ornate decorations, all duly calculated
t" make a deep and lasting impres
sion on the collective mind of the
residents of many of the South
American republics, Earl Hyde, pros
pective geologist, mining engineer,
and hunter, well known from the
southernmost to the northernmost
portion of Alaska, left here a day or
two ago for New York, enroute to
Bolivia and other placcs in South
America. Hyde has the "low down
dope" on a discovery of gold that
has been made on the streams run
ning into the headwaters of the Am
azon river. He will go from New
York through "'ie Panama canal, and
thence to Iiolivia and Argentine Re
public, thence across the dividing
range to the place where he expects
to find the clittering metal in quan
tities that are beyond the dreams
of averice.
During the few days he spent in
Washington, Hyde busied himself
looking up reports which are on file
at the Pan-American bureau. Records
of the amount of gold taken out in
this section since the conquest indi
cate that there is still a large amount
left in the streams that were first
worked by the Aztecs long before
Cortez and his conquering horde of
Spanish adventurers "subdued" and
pillaged this warlike race.
It is a fact well known to mining
engineers that the Aztecs who first
worked these streams and the Span
ish peons who followed them, o|>er
ated only such 'portions of the creeks
as could be worked by such crude
mining methods and impracticable
pumping machinery as were then in
vogue. The deep diggings from which
It was impossible to pump the water
and in which it is believed there re
mains millions in gold were left un
touched. The modern gold digging
dredge was unknown to the Argo
nauts who first opened up this field.
While Hyde, being a conservative

and rather pessimistic individual, is
not boiling over with enthusiasm, he
nevertheless plans to make an examin
ation of the ground and perhaps drill
it, using nutives to do the work. If
the proposition is a one-hundredth
part as good as it looks on paper, it
is well within the realm of probability
that many millions will bo added to
the world's supply of gold, and a new
mining field opened up to American
exploitation. Another thing worth
noting is that mines in the Andez
range at an altitute of more 'than sev
enteen thousand feet above sea-level
last yt'nr produced $17,000,000 in tin
—nearly one half of the world's sup
ply. Hyde expects to be absent for
about a year, during which time he
will make a thorough investigation
of these and other propositions. He
is backed by abundant capital to in
stall any kind of machinery that may
be necessary should his examinations
prove that the ground contains a suf
ficient amount of mineral to warrant
lit.
This is the* second expedition of Al
askans to South America in the past
few months. Robert I). Adams, Torn.
Doyle and Paul Denlmrt, all of Nome,
are preparing to leave San Francis
co for Bolivia at an early date. They
are basing their information as to
the nold values in l^atin America up
on a letter received from Hal McCor
mack, one of the discoverers of Ophir
creek, near Council City, Alaska, and
who has boen in Bolivia for the past
four years. Hyde, however, is act
inn on first hand information, having
passed through the country fifteen
years ago at the time when the meth
od of reaching gold in deep, wet
ground by the modern bucket dredge
was unknown. He also has an ad
vantage over others who are racing
to the new fields in knowing the lan
guage of the- country, a knowledge of
the conditions nnd such laws as the
country has, and the best method of
securing native help. It was for this
reason that he spent a few days in
Washington, getting proper letters of
introduction for it may happen that
he will want to secure a concession,
and to do this \iy South- America,
there is nothing so helpful as to
first make a good impression.
