PASSESJTO HEW HANDS
Prank H. Mobley, member of the
Provincial Parliament from the At
lin district, was aji arrival] in. Skat
way on the Princess Sophia yester
day- enroute to Atlin where he will
mingle with his constituents for a
few weeks. v
In a conversation held with a rep
resentative of thig paper, Mr. Mo
bley stated that he had recently
bought the holdings of the North.
Columbia Gold' Mining company,
the Columbia Mines company, the
Pine Creek Power company and the
O'DonroeU Placers company.
in coming into possession of tha
property of these four companies,
together with the water rights and
appurtenances thereto, it is Mr.
Mobley/s intention to organize a
comoany at an early date for the
purpose of operating the property,
and while the work will be limit
ed this year, owing to the lateness
of the season, and th© scarcity of
labor in the district, plans are to
be perfected' for operating the
ground on a large scale during the
season of 1919.
YUKON Iffl HAVE
A BIG SILVER
CAMP
Dawson, — Gold Commissioner
George P. Mackenzie, who just re
turned- from a trip to Mayo Land
ing^ says that lie believes there will
oe a mining camp in the* Mayo dis
trict. He bases his Belief on the
new finds of silver in the district.
He says that the new properties
are quite widely distributed', and
that such would indicate a general
field of galena in that district.
Among the latest promising finds
is that of Johnson and partner,
near the McQuesten. They in
tends to have a ton of ore out
011 the first steamer, but missed the
ooat ,but expect to get it out soon.
Mr. Mackenzie has appointed J.
E. Ferrel agent of the mining re
corder for the Mayo district. Ills
headquarters will be at Mayo. He
has oeen provided with all the
necessary Dlanks and the like, and
is ready for busines. The mining re
corder's office at Minto Bridge has
been closed, and. the records have
been transferred to Dawson. Mr.
Mackenzie Drought down the last of
the supplies.
Ten tons of silver ore from the
Silver King mine was hauled to
Mayo Landing this winter, and'
came down to Dawson on the Banve
steamer with Mr. Mackenzie.
The gold commissioner also re
ports 2,500 gounds of scbelite tung
sten ore at Mayo ready for the
sterner. Quite a number of Dublin
gulch miners, he says, are prepar-,
ing to save tho scheelite on their
claims this summer incidental to
ther gold mining. Scheelite is wort
50 to 75 cents a pound1.
This Is the property that was
owned by the company that Paul
Grier, Frank Breaze and Jack Quick
have been associated with, and al
though it has been admitted) by
all the best mining men of that sec
tion of the country that there is a
vast amount of gold in the ground,
the former workings hay® never
proved very profitaoje. it is true
tQat large amounts of gold have
Been taken out for several years
past, still the management seems
to have been at fault in the. operat*
ing.
A huge amount of money has beed
expended in the development of
thia property, and Mr. Mobley be
lieves that under a conservative
aud ousiness Ilk© management the
ground can be made to pay hand
somely. It is his intention to or
ganize a company comprised of ex
perienced miners who will work thd
ground' in the most economical man*
ner »o that the gold tlaat is pro
duced will not all be Consumed for
running expenses.
Mr. Mobley left on today's train
for Carcross where he will connect
with, the steamer Tutchi for Atlin.
