—Construction Work.
Operations will begin in full swing
at (lie Alaska Knilicott Mining 1
Milling Company mine at William]
Henry Bay, early in May. according'
to C. W. Mason, president of the
company. Mr. Mason arrived in .Ju

Three Shifts in Mill
The mill is now closed and will,
not be opened until May 1. when!
three shift* will be put on. Mr. Ma
son said. There lias been little
output since the mill was started last •
fall, operations being delayed be-'
cause of errors made by transixirta i
tlon companies and oil companies in
supplying the oil, said Mr. .Mason.
Considerable construction and de
velopment has been carried on since;
August 1. last. The installation of;
the machinery in the mill has been ]
completed. The mill has been;
double-boarded and lined wdth tarj
paper, an assay office and a valve]

electricity. The lighting system is
ready for operation as soon as the
water conies, when a generator will
bo installed.
• Operation Delayed
“Mill operations were delayed ' on
occodnt of lack of oil,” said -Mr.
Mason. “We. had a shipment of pine
oil frohi the l’ensacola Tar & Tur
pentine Company of Hull Point, Flor
ida, which should have arrived at
the mine early in the fall, but was
burned /'when the ship carrying it
caught fire, en route to San Fran
cisco. The oil did not reach the
nine until November. Wo then die
■overed the shipment we had re
eojved would not do l'or mill opera
tion and it was necessary to close
operations until another shipment
arrived, when wo could start experi
menting with oil floatation. We
are now ready to operate on a com
mercial scale and are ordering oil i
in quantity lots.
Development
"We have a six cell floatation ma
chine which is equal to bundling
from 150 tons to 300 tons of oro per
