Long Sought Copper Deposits of the Copper|skin From Eleven Friends River Country Have Been Found to Be of Great Value. | three square feet ‘The copper deposits in Central Alaska near the head of the Copper | river, have at last been located, and one of the principal ledges has cod staked by Frank Hoffman, of South Dakota, who arrived in Beattie sev~- eral days ago on the Humboldt, and is now stopping at the New Weat- ern hotel. Hoffman was one of a party of eight. which included Roland 8. Con- don, of Lynn, Mass. and Georg: Divelbiss, of Port Orford, Ore, both of whom are now in the city, having accompenied Hoffman on his trip here. Mr. Condon ts the man who gave the Star, several dayp ago, an account of the terrible suffering om the Lower Copper river, to which he had been a witness. Incktentally he mentioned something about copper discovered, but the full did not come out until Condon and Diss, pald the Star office another visit yesterday af- ternoon, by # request, and told of their own and Hoffman's dis- covertes of copper pyrites, Neither was disposed to seek notoriety, 1 was only by clone questioning that all of the facts were elicited. The three men are very careful in making #tatements, and gave almost ex- cellent impression for candor and veracity Divelbisa made the following statement: “We «pent.the winter at the junction of the Chittyna and Copper rivers. From our ¢adin we could eee Mount Wrangell, the mysterious volcano, concerning whieh the Taral natives have strange superstitions, They hed told us that RO Man could approach the volcano and tive; that some of their own had gone there and had never returned, and that they had un- doubtedly been seised by evil spirits which haunted the mountain. ‘These stories piqued our curiosity, and we determined to prospect the Mount Wrang?i region, which had not as yet been visited by any white man. So last May we took « small supply of provisione and struck across the country to Koteina, a branch of the Copper river, and as- cended the little stream towards Mount Wrangell, from which It seem- @4 to come. Our passage was finally barred by a high peak. up which Condon and I climbed and scoured the first close view of the volcano ever obtained by white men. But the more important thing was our discov- erles of copper pyrites. On a little branch of the Ketsina, not over 20 miles from Mount Wran, we found @ great ledge of the are, of a very high grade, It was located well up on the side of a mountain, and ‘we made « examination. The ledge was only partly exposed, ow- ing to the prevalence of snow, but we could get its trend and general outlines, Hoffman thought best to stake it, although we could not see how the ledge was to be worked. owing to its present tnaccesaibility. ‘There is no trail into that portion of the country, and Abercrombie’s military road. which he proposes to cut this season. ties fully 109 miles to the northwest making it of no use to ua. Hoffman put down his Stakes, and then we proapected the surrounding locality, and found ev- erywhere traces of copper pyrites. The place is evidently full of copper. ‘We also found cotors of gold on the Kotsina, but the colors were fine “Our party suffered terribly from hunger and exposure. We had ex- pected to Kill game, but could not even get a sheep, although we saw a few tracks. It was with the greatest difficulty that we finally got out of the region and reached the Copper river once more.” “Did you observe the geysers on Mount Wrangel which Mr, Condon @ays that he noticed?” “Yen, there were 13 of them spouting from the sides of the mountatn. One threw up 4 column fully 209 feet into the air every three minutes, ‘The others were not so vigorous as this one. Seven of the apouters were located at the base of a small cliff, about one-half mile below the crater. Snow surrounded them on all sides. The other six were scat- tered, but not far away from the maim group. They looked odd. Dense ‘volumes of black sméke rolled from the crater. It was rimmed with ice to its very edges. There was not a sign of & shrub, nor even of a tree, upon the slopes of Mount Wrangel. The acene was frightfully Gesclate. .The peak upon which we stood adjoined the volcano. There ‘was only a valley between. Wrangel is the highest mountain that I ever saw. There is mineral there. I should have stated, however, that large deposits of copper ore exiet on the Chittyna. I saw speci- mens brought down by the Taral Indians which weighed fully 100 pounds, They came to our cabin at the mouth of the stream last win- ter with the ore, supposing that we would purchase. They told me that there was vast quantities of the copper up the Chittyna.
