Deep snow drifts were encountered,

made the work the more difficult. How

WernieekeTells of Mayo;
Not Sure About Future
Livingston Wernecke, the resident
[ manager of the Treadwell interests at
Mayo, passed through Skagway recent
ly ou his way out from the Mayo dis
trict..
Speaking toti representative of the
Daily Alaskan, Mr. Wernecke said that
the work on the Treadwell property,
'and on other property for that matter,,
is! very satisfactory for the summer
months. The Treadwell people have
■been using a large tractor for hauling
their ore from the mines to the Mayo
Landing, aod they are finding this
method of hauling very satisfactory.
With this machine they are able to
haul almost as much ore as the Gug
genheims, who haul with forty-eight
horses. The amount the Tre-adwelK
people are taking to Mayo Landing is
about 700 tons a month. The other
people are exceeding this amount by a
small margiu, thus making about 1.50ft,
tons per month, and this will continue
for six months, when It is expected,
according to Mr. Wernecke, that abouL
9,000 tons of high grade ore will i be
landed at the river ready for. traos*<
portat-ion to the smelter via St.-Mi-*
chael.
Questioned as to whether the Tread
well people would build a smelter at.
Mayo this year,* Mr. Werneeke stated
that there was nothing to it. Restated*
that it would be necessary to have 60,
000 tons of ore;in sight to warrant the
construction of a smelter, and that the
Treadwell Company at present, had. not
more than 43,000 tons in sight, fie ad
mitted that with 50,000 tons goi ore in
sight a mill could be put up and pav
for itself in the smelting of that amoum

rom the difference in the cost of haui
iug and freight charges as the work is
now being dooe.
As to the future, Mr. Wernecke said
that it looked good, but development
had not advanced far enough to war
rant any great predictions as to the
future. The work of development this
winter will be carried on as heretofore.
The full development of the camp will
be a slow process, covering a number
of years.
George F. Kilroy arrived this after
noon from Tacotna.
