AMERICAN MINE INTERESTS SEEK SNIPE BAY ORE Machinery Already Assem- bled for Undertaking 40 Miles from Sitka PRODUCTION OF 30,000 TONS, MONTH, PLANNED E. W. Creevy of Chicago Heading Group Back- ing New Industry Verification of previous reports and estimates regarding a huge de- posit of nickel ore at Snipe Bay on Baranof Island, by two Swedish mining experts who have traveled half way around the earth in the last ten days to inspect the prop- erty, is expedted to result in im- mediate development of a mining project of tremendous importance to Alaska and to the United States. E. W. Creevy, of the Creevy Trading Company, Import and Ex- sort, Chicago, who represents the capital interested in developing the nickel mine, Ture Haglund and Dr. Eric Hoegheb, Swedish mining en- gineers, arrived at Snipe Bay, about 10 miles south of Sitka on the west coast of Bararof Island, last night 1board the PAA Fairchild seaplane, (lown from Seattle by Pilot Mur- ray Stuart _ Half Million in Machinery “The ' two' Swedish mining spec- ialists who stayed last night In Sitka, will inspect the property and Tep| their findings within the next week, and if their report fs favor- able lmmedine development of the property will follow.” Mr. Creevy, who arrived here last night aboard the plane, stated that equipment costing between $500,000 and $600,- 000 is already being assembled in the States for installation at Snipe y if the engineers’ report is fa- "ornble 'The equipment will be used elsewhere in Alaska for mining de- velopment, he said, if the Sn'pe Bay project should prove unfeasible.

The Snipe Bay ore yields three-fourths percent higher than the Sudbury deposit, Mr. Creevy said. Installation of equipment for de- velopment of the Snipe Bay mine will require about 120 days, Mr. Creevy said. The deposit is located at the entrance to Snipe Bay, and suitable dockage facilities will be built at the nearest sheltered point, about a mile and one-half distant from the mine, he said, and the ore will be transported to the dock by a conveyor system Ture Haglund, who is consulting mining enginder to the gdv: s 0 Swe- ernment, holds basic den and the United States on stain- = less steels ‘Hetonce snv? his: coun- try severhl mfllion doll “py pro- ducing” high gtade «gold ore from a mine, which defaulted to the Swed- ish government when Ivar Kreuger, the match king, killed himself to | avoid bankruptey.
