BOYLE fO LEAVE
FOR CONFERENCE
WITH SECRETARY
Called to Washington by Fall
for Conference—Here
Since October.
Under telegraphic instructions from
Secretary Fall, George L Boyle, in
speetor for the Interior Department,
will leave here on the next south
bound steamer enroute to Washigton
for a conference with the Secretary.
A statement to this effect was made
by him today.
While he declined to comment on
tho matter, It is believed tha; the
conference will be on the Alaskan
situation and may Involve future pol
icies of the Interior Department In
tho Territory. This is indicated by
the nature of the work Mr. Boyle
has been doing since coming to Alas
ka la At October. This has carrl.nl
him into Interior districts, ov *r vir
tually al' of the Alaska railroad dis
tricts, through the major portion of
Southeastern Alaska, to nearby Brit
ish Columbia points.
Although he has not completed the
program set for himself, which in
cluded visits to every judicial divi
sion, it Is believed that the Secre
tary desires to discuss the situation
with him, as far as he lias been able
to study it this far, before retiring
from office on March 41 h, next. A
far as can be learned, Mr, Boyle h. s
not attempted to ntako any stu Iv of
the various bureaus or get their
viewpoints, but has met and talk 1
with men engaged in virtually all
lines of endeavor, mining men, both
operators and miners, cannery opera
tors and independent fishermen, saw
mill operators, timbermen and log
gers, merchants, bankers, and oth
ers. From these he, apparently, hi
attempted to gel the views of resi
dent Alaskans as to department poli
cies and Alaskan problems in which
the Department of Interior is inter
ested.
He will probably leave early next
week for Beattie and then direct
for Washington. He expects that he
will return here in a short time to
complete the work assigned to him
by tho secretary.

a man named Mayer, who was not mentioned in the first suit. A
strange feature of the case is th • t hot h Russell and his wife ap

PROMISING,SAYS
NOTED ENGINEER
Pacific Mining News Ecjjtor
Says District Is of Much
Importance.
That the Portland C'.m-jl mining
district is becoming ot serious in
lere-t to mining men is Indicated in
two articles covering the district
which appeared in recent numbers
of the Pacific Mining News, the Pa
cific Coast supplement to the Engin
eering & Mining Journal-Press, writ
ten Ty George J. Young, editor of
tiie supplement In summarizing liis
Impressions of th° lii-trlct Mr. Young
said: “Although I had only a week
available in th • Portland Canal re
gion and nccessa: i ' could see only
a small fraction of the urea, it
scented to rre t'nrt here is a potential
and gomg mining district of cunsid
er ;ble importance."
In the omening ar Ids. which an
neared in the December number, Mr.
Young went into Cip geography, gool
ogy, climate, tran lortatlnn. de7?l te
nt >nt and prospecting and a general
survey and history of the district.
Look for Rich Ores
Commenting on the present stage
of development, Mr. Young said:
“The low grade disseminated ores
i f dip region have not been success
fully worked, although attempts have
been made to do so. Sudt ores will,
however, bo worl' d in the future
where they occur in deposits of suf
ficient size to w arrant working on
a large scale. Just at present min
ing men are interested in finding
high-grade ores. A relatively larg"
number of discoveries of minor
quantities of these ores, here and
thpre. has resulted in exploration
work directed toward th" immediate
purpose of opening up, if possible
larger ore d]0ots. The primary ores
are, for the most part, relativeli
lean and unattractive although thej
have possibilities of wet eoncentra
tion and differential flotation. This
would require extensive preliminary
developm-en-t and the expenditure o!
relatively large amounts of capita!
for minirg, milling and power equip
ment. The success of the Premie:
has been duo to the discovery ot!
high-grade ores conceded to be o'
secondary origin. Mining men are !
looking for similar occurrences my :
only in the near vicinity of the Pre-j
mler, but at many points farther
distant.”
Detailed Study Required
Tit summarizing his study of the
district Mr. Young said: “Although
1 had onlv a week available in the
Portland Chnal region and necessar
ily could see only a small fraction
of the area, it seemed to be that
here is a potential and going mining
district of considerable importance.
Deeper development and detailed
study of the mineral deposits are es
sential before the commercial im
portance of the different districts
can be estimated. The Premier's
success furnishes an incentive to
mining men. According to one pros
pector—‘Then's mineral everywhere
You can't help hilting it. \Vhat the
country needs is capital; outside
capital and lots of It.' Another pros
pector stated: 'Company proposi
tions take too much money and do
so very little. This camp has had
