POSTOFFICE NOW
FINEST IN ALASKA
After two days oi' ciulcavor under
conditions difficult because of more
or less chaos Postmaster Jefferson
today is receiving congratulations on
being tl'C man in charge of the finest
appearing postotliee in Alaska; and j
those who pronounce this opinion de
clare that they have seen enough of
the territory to he certain whereof
they speak. There is yet a little work
t<> he done before everything is as it
is intended to be but this will take
only a short time.
The new partitions not only add
greatly to the appearance of the post
ollice department of the Owl Drug
Company building, but make things
much more convenient both for the
natrons and the ofllee force. Kach
of the various branches of the postal ;
business can now be handled without
interference from some other branch, j
With the exception of the portion i
of the partition in which are the win
dows the construction work was done i
by the Alaska ('oust ruetion Company. :
The company made nil the boxes and
the face of the partition, which had l
to be matched with the parts brought j
from the-cast. There are :>oo boxes,
twenty of them being of extra large
size, forty medium and the other'
•Jin ol the regulation size for individu- j
al business. Formerly there were 150
boxes and I'ostinastea Jefferson be-t
lieved that in increasing the number
t«» :too he was making ample provision j
tor several years ahead. In this he
made a poor estimate, however, for
even now t here arc only a few boxes
left nntaUen, but the number can be
increased with lit ! • i^ouble.
The new boxes are provided with ,
combination loe!<s and now the prill- I
cipal form ol diversion in to ^o to the
postotliee and practice with the me- I
chanism so that 11»• • r»* will be no de- i
lay in case the combination is left at
home.
The total expense of the improve-I
mcnts will approximate £1.000.

MINES IN INTERIOR
SHOWING OP WELL
(Slowing reports of the future prom
ised the copper properties in the in
terior are brought to Valdez by Frank
Kceles who arrived last night from
the Lathrop property in tho Kotslnu
country. Kccles aays that not only
in the Lathrop property all that past
belief has held for it but that the
MeCarty property on Nugget creek,
tho Scotty Crawford, the Shcehan
and the Amond properties are all
showing up well.
On the MeCarty property thirteen
men are at work and tho other prop
erties are being developed in good
shape. In at the Hubbard and Elliott
property great preparations are un
der way for winter work. .
Kccles says that the eleven men
who I) ave been at work on the Lath
rop property have made a tine show
ing and that his purpose in coming
out is to take in an expert as therein
now no doubt of the character of tho
mine. Eccles and tho expert expect
to start in to the mine tomorrow.

Farther up Landlock bay is tlx
property of the Three Man Milling
Company. \V. A. Dickey is mana
ger and mie of the Three Men, tin
other two being Duncan Kdwards ant
II. ('. Bryan of New York. This h
already a mine, in the opinion of all
mining men who have examined it,
Tunnels have boon run on three
levels and a good-sized dump of on
lies at t he approach to one of them.
One small lot of ore tested 13 pel
cent and hut for litigation and subse
quent low copper prices the mint
would be shipping now.
In all the tunnels good veins arc
shown and the development so fai
done has hlocxcd out enough ore to
assure the permanent value of the
mine. A dozen men are employed
now at pushing the funnels farther
into the hill.
Operation is Economic
The Three Man mine lies almost at
t lie water's edge, assuring economic
operation. The lowest tunnel is only
a few hundred feet up the slope from
the bay and the others aro a little
higher. The cost- of carrying ore to
boats will bo trivial and when the ore
is mined little expense will remain to
be incurred except transportation.
Across the bay is a similar prop
erty, that of the Landlock Hay Cop
per Mining Company. W. A. Dolan
and W. A. llystrom of Valdoz aro the
chief owners and Mr. Dolan is mana
ger. It lies low and close to water,
and has a unique position iu covering
au angle of land with water on two
sides. Tint mineral lodges run through
the hill and mining ami shipping can
bo done on either side.
Development has already boon
done on both sides but principally on
the western slope of the hill, where
two tunnels liavo boon run and in
one of them a winzo sunk and a drift
made. The work is on a lodge several
foot wide, containing good ore. Homo
r>f the finest ore spocimons ever
brought to Valdoz have come from
this property. Hoveral men aro now
working.
Adjoining the Hystrom-Dolan prop
erty Tom droves is working on a
lodge which shows three foot of good
ore. It. is of shipping grado and the
vein has ovory Appearance of per

original discovery on this was made
by Charles Hchlosser in June 1 !>07.
He evidently made a ten-strike, '
though lie seems to have selected an
nnnocossarlly steep hill on which to
plant hi» bonanza. However il is j
only 700 feet high and an aerial tram
will make it easily accessible. The
property is less than a mile from the '
hay hy the trail.
Additional locations have been
made on the Fidalgo-Alaska com
pany's hill until the group now cm-:
braces nineteen claims, .lust, how
many veins are in this group seems
uncertain but they crop out at differ
ent levels in half a do/en distinct
ledges. All these have been traced
by tnnnels and open cuts under the
direction of Hupferlntendent 0. W.
Harrington and ore deposits exported
which satisfy all mining men that,
the hill Is full of copper.
Twelve assays made t his week from
as many different, places in the ledges
show result* running from 10. I per
cent copper to 1.01 per cent , wit h an
average of about 10per cent. Nearly
all of these are from veins from t hree
t<o seven feet wide.
Other goo<1 properties have bccfl
developed on Fidalgo bay, notably
that of T. W. Blakney, but little work
id In progress now.
The copper ore of the Honnd is
practically all ehalcopyrlte, though
occasional st ringers of bornlte, glance (
and blue and green carbonatc are j
found.
