CURRYHOTEL

IS GOOD ONE
Heinz Representative Bigford
Tells of Up-to-Date
R. R. Hotel.
"Just think of It! You step from
the railroad coach, walk a short dis
tance and enter one of the finest
lobbies of a hotel anywhere. Thej
floors are of hardwood and electric
lights shine briglitly over the scene ]
There is a fine office with a genial,
hotel clerk behind the counter. You
can get a room with hath, hot and.
cold running water, or just a plain ■
room. Your dinner is typical of one!
served In any outside city hotel and
your breakfast the same. Yes, sir, i
the Curry Hotel on the Government
Railroad, is a dream of a hotel.
Telephones are to be installed in all
rooms In the very near future.”

TREADWELL WILL
SPEND BIG SUM
| ON MAYO GROUND
—
To Drive 3000-Foot Tunnel
to Serve Properties on
Keno Hill. Lode.
Kxton :<m of developmoht work on
i its Mayo silver lead properties will
i be undertaken at trace by the Tread
well Yukon Company, according to a
statement inado today by P. R- Brad
ley. who represents the Treadwell
interots lip the North. The new worifcj
will consist largely of driving Hf
3,000-foot tunnel into Keno Hill to
serve the claims on the rich lode on
the McQuestion or western slope, of
the hill.
The tunnel is expected to tap the
vein at the 300-foot level and will
be used for botlj drainage and tjie
removal of ore. Work has already
started on the tunnel. It is said
that the work will be one of the
most expensive undertakings In min
ing so far attainted in the Yukon,
and means the tutpenllture of thou
sands of dollars, the tunnel lying
through hard orck most of the dis
tance.
The slope of the hill on which I
the present worki ngs are Incited j
drains considerable water, and last i
fall the Treadwell! works had lo be
shut down below the 120-foot level
on account of water. Work on the
Yukon Goid Company property, on j
the same lode, was also suspended |
for a time last year because of an j
excess wf water
The Treadwell 1 tunnel will drain!
off this w^ter. It will also be use- j
ful in prospecting ‘as well as for re
moving ore t'fooi -the lode now be
ing explored."
Mr. Bradley said that a barge
with 340 tons of Mayo ore sunk
this week off Porcupine Point in j
Stewart. It was fully Insured. The j
shipment, however, is not lost, as its]
recovery will be effected at low wa- J
ter, but .it will probably delay its i
forwarding to the smelter until next ;
season.
Mr Bradley expects to visit the
Mayo properties next month.
