P. H. GANTY, GROCER
"TOMMY" KilH OF ATLIN
TELLS OF OISFBIGT'S OUTLOOK
Tom Kirkland, the well known At
lln, B. C., mining man, arrived In
Skagway 011 Tuesday's train and
left on the Princess Maquina Wed
nesday night for his home in Van
couver, B. C., where he will re
main until about the first of May,
when he will return to Atlin.
While in Skagway, Mr. Kirkland,
or "Tommy," as he is more famiiiai
ly called by his many northern
friends, stopped at the Golden North
hotel and was interviewed by a
Daily Alaskan representative in re
gard to the mining outlook in the
Atlin district, of which he spoke in
the most glowing terms. He said:
"Of the quartz properties In the
J district, the Engineer mine, the
j Kirklano group adjoining, and the
Lawson group, are steadily increas
ink in value and are all now well
t<ast the uncertain stage. The Law
son group, and the Kirkland and
Brown groups, in which I am iu'.er
j ested, are showing up extremely
rich ore. Out of 1900 pounds of ore
irom tlie Lawson groip over 13 I
ounces of gold were obtained, or
f 247. as this roid goes $19 to the j
ounce. The returns from this ore
were recovered by the use of a
4 5 nound test stamp mill run by
water power on the property. There
are about 60 or 80 tons of the
| same character of ore in sight.
"All the above properties are
I well supplied with water for power
purposes and there is plenty of
good timber in the immediate vic
inity.
"There are also some good low
grade quartz properties in the At
lin district. X own one on Pine
creek, near Atlin, with a legde more
than 200 feet in width which aver
ages $7.SO per ton Sn the cross
cut tunnel. Some picked samples of
the ore from this ledge assayed as
high as $517 per ton. There is
good water power on the property
1 and millions of tons of ore in eight. :
"There is one of the best gold
silver-lead properties in British j
Columbia on Fourth of July creek,
called the Big Canyon group, own- j
ed by Tom Vaughn and John Malloy.
For confirmation of what I say '
in regard to all these properties I
refer you to the government re
port of Dr. Cairnes of the Domin
ion Geolgical survey.
"The placer miners on O'Donnell
river and Spruce creeks are doing
well and making very large clean
ups. Other creeks in the dis
trict are also good producers. Tak
ing it all around, the Atlin district
is in a very prosperous condition,
notwithstanding the unsatisfactory
mining laws and other drawbacks
which the prospector and mining
man have to contend with.
"What this northern country
needs is< government assistance in
the development and advertising of
Us vast and immensely valuable
mineral resources.
"As it is at pieeent thfe pros
pector or miner 'a charged every
time he turns around.
"Special mining laws are needed
for our far outlylii^ mineral dis
tricts in British Columbia to as
sist in their development, not
laws to hold the men who are
working to that erd back."
