The Chicago! mine, in the Sitka dis
trict, which was closed last year after
producing in round numbers 312,000.000
in gold and silver from 400,000 tons of
ore. and disbursed $5,000,000 in divi
dends, is again in profitable operation.
Tha stamp mill was started at, the end
of January. The value of the February
production was $.‘>1,000, of which $10,
300 was p-iofit, and the March produc
tion was $.'15,000, of which $1 ;,00t was
profit. G. T. Jackson, formerly super
intendent of the Jackling interests in
Alaska, and associates are operating
the mine. When the mine was closed
the operating expense was in the
neighborhood of $12 per ton, so ore
below that value was left in the mine.
Mr. Jackson became interested, and
from his examination he estimated that
there was 40,0(H) tons of ore running
around $10 per ton, all of which, he
estimated, could be treated at a cost of
about $5 per ton. The purchase and
restarting of the property cost less
than $100,000, it is said.
It is reported that the Jesse Lee Or
phanage, now located at Unalaska, will

the reasons for moving from Unalaska
to Seldovia is that the home, if located
in the latter place, will he practically

1 am the principal owner of a block of ground
on Yankee creek, ihout, seven mites Ions'.‘'extend
ing from No. 1 Below Discovery down'to the mouth
of.the creek.
Pay has been ](■• led all along for a distance’of
about three miles ftv m the upper end, and pretty
well prospected and cross-cut.
The average depth of the ground is from seven
to twenty feet. The top is all black muck, that can
be moved freely. No rock bigger than one’s list.
The width of the pay. for a distance of about
three miles, is from 100 to 200 feet. Crosscuting
work indicates tha' the ground will go from 15
cents to $1 per square foot of bedrock. My belief
is that the pay will average 50 cents per foot.
I have a ditch on the ground, three miles long,
together with water rights. The ground is prettv
well cleared. There is also a drain, three miles
long, with tho water right. I also have a water
right on Ready Bullion creek, from which water
can be brought to Yankee creek with a ditch less
than a mile long (4,000 feet), which will give four
sluiceheads of water, with a pressure or fall of 120
feet, being 1000 feet to the work from the ditch.
After doing away with the muck, there will be
from four to six feet of dirt to handle. The pay
runs mostly in the bedrock of porphyry and slate.
The ground is virgin, only about $11,000 having
been taken out by windlass in prospecting.
Prospecting work during the present winter has
resulted in finding values that run up to $1 per
square foot of bedrock.
The Flume Dredge Company has a dredge above
this ground, which lias been in operation for the
last three seasons.
The Government road crosses Yankee creek. I
also have a road down^he creek that connects with
the Government road.
I am also the agent for owners of ground other
than that held bv myself.
The ground can be worked either with dredge,
drag-line scraper, or by hydranlieing.
i will either sell the ground or give a lease on
it. If the prospect is satisfactory to the buyer, a
cash payment will be expected. A good bargain
will be given to the right party.
For further information, terms, etc., call on
ground, or write or telegraph me.

Tokotna, Alaska.
