PROGRESS MADE
IN PROSPECTING
BY GUGGENHEIMS
Costello Returns from Inspec
tion of Chains Held at
Copper Mountain.
F -
E. J. Costello, mining engineer for
the Marcus Daly estate of New York,
arrived in Juneau this morning on
the steamer Alameda from the West
ward, after spending the past two
months in the McKinley Park dis
triet, inspecting mining properties
in the interest of his firm. He ex
pects to leave Juneau tonight for
Sitka where he will inspect the
Dreamland group of claims in Silver
Bay on which an option has been
taken by the estate. The claims an
owned by Charles Haley, Miss Julia
Haley and William Johnson, of Sitka.
Costello expects to spend several days
on the property and will return here
next week.
Properties inspected in the M<
Kinley Park district by Costello were
in the vicinity of Clear Creek, Eu
reka Creek and Copper Mountain.
The claims on Copper Mountain
which are 23, covering an area of
440 acres of land, are under develop
merit by the Guggenheim interests
the Marcus Daly estate, having an
interest in the district.
The district is about Ru milef
vest of McKinley Park Station or
the Alaska Railroad. Considerabh
development work Is being carrier
on at the present time, under thr
supervision of W. E. Dunkle, on
gineer. Eight, men are employed in
the work and camp is maintained ai
a location known as Copper Moun
tain. The properties are making s
good showing, Costello said.
The character of the ore is galena
showing chaleopyrite and consider
• able zinc blende, some of It carry
tng fairly high values of silver and
also gold values are found to somr
extent The formation is chiefl>
granodlorite with some granite in
trusion. There is also lime witt
ores or lenses of ores showing ii:
■ those contacts.
Travel through the McKinlej
Park country is not difficult except
ing that there ure no accommoda
tions along the trail, Costello 3aic!
He believes it would not be a dirt,
colt foat to put a railroad thrn-.igt
the country should developments tr
that dis’rtct warrint it. Costeii'
vent into the Park shortly aftei
May 1, coming direct north f-oi/
Mexico C ty He took a pack train
ci five horses and was accompanied
by R. H Humphrey, mining en
gineer fo Kan '•’r.ineiaco, who arsis’
ed him in his work.
“The McKinley Park country is a
good mining district and the re
grot table truth of Its slow develop
ment la lack of prospectors," said
Costc’lo. “When the hills are tilled
with prospect~rs the country will
begin to open."
The long snows In that district
are a big handicap to the develop
ment of mining properties Costello
said. This season the snow went
, off earlier than the usual time.
