COPPER The announcement made by pros- Pectors Divilbiss, Condon, and Hoft- Man, of the location of the copper deposits in the Copper river coun- ‘try, published in the news columns of the Star today, will excite great Public interest.. The existence cf large quantities of copper ore in that region has been surmised for many Years, but it remained for these prospectors to discover the ore bodies, one of which has been ed and te now chimed as mining Property. The three men who bring the news do not surround it with an air of mystery, They state explicit- ly where the copper lies, and give minute particulars concerning the| ed to secure hidden wealth In these | of 1600 pounds of green frult p At the same time they do/mines which has escaped the search | but Is being #0 constructed that the same. net mince words in telling of the terrible triats which prospectors Must undergo in that region, and de- clare their belief that the copper di posite are at present practically tn- eccessibie for development purposes. Another tmportant achievement of these men was the journey to Mount Wrangel, the gigantic voteano which for so many years had defied the approach of explorers. Located tn the center of a mystery-enshrouded region Wrangel had long presented | one of the most interesting geo- graphical features of North America, Its height could not be determined from the great distances at which it had been viewed, but concurrent observations made it an apparent rival of Moun?

IN MINES Chicago Men Have Combined ‘TO DEVELOP COAST PROPERTIES The Company Has Been Incorpo reted in New Jers: Outline of Plans. CHICAGO, July 6—Chicago capl- } tal ia to be used to develop and make productive many unproductive gold mines on the Pacific slope. A com- pany of Chicago men has been form- of the owners who are too poor to operate them properly, and transfer it into their own coffers. M. Hoytema, of San Francisco, 4 mining expert well acquainted with the gold properties of the Pacific slope, is the organizer of the com- pany. He is a boyhood friend of H H. Cooper, of the firm of Seigel- Cooper company, who will probably be the president of the new com- pany. Through Mr. Cooper's recom- mendations M. Hoytema gained the attention of capitalists with little trouble, and, although the posalbill- ties of gaining miraculous returns on small investments which Mr. Hoy- tema held out seemed almost beyond belief, those who were invited to go into the company made generous subscriptions ‘The company has been incorporat- ed in New Jersey with a capital stock of $200,000. Of this ount MeKinley for the honor of being the loftiest point upon the continent. Condon and Diviibies, who finally approached Kt so closely, could not make measurements of its height, but they discovered some things of great interest, viz, 18 geysers spouting steam from the aides of the peak, scarcely half « mile Below the crater. These are the only geysers known to exist In Alaska, and are the only ones so far observed north of the Yellowstone. ‘There i# every reason to believe that the terrible volcanic eruptions which have occurred In past ages in ‘Alaska, and whieh have resulted in the throwing out of vast quantities of ashes which now form thick strat- as of the soll as far cast as the Upper Yukon, centered at Mount Wrangel. which appears to be the chief vent for the flery inferno beneath Alaska. ‘The frightfully desolate appearance of the volcano, without a tree or shrub growing In its vicinity, as graphically depicted by Condon and)! Divilbies, ts certainty in harmony with ie reputation as the silent, smoking ogre of the Northwest. It ts also a fact worthy of note that the natives of Alaska are ali afraid to approach Mount Wranget, and have @ superstitious terror of | great beasts and evil spirits which they allege haunt its vicinity, seeking to slay unwary people who may ven- ture within their reach. The discoveries of Condon, Divil-! diss and Hoffman are of sufficient | importance to entitle them to recog- nition by the geographical societies of the United States and Europe. | $120,000 worth of stock has already been taken, and the remainder wit! be sold to friends of the present share holders. It is @ close corpora- tion, and no stock will be sold to the public. Mr. Hoytema, who ts stopping at the Wellington hotel, explained the details of the plan. “The gold supply of the Pacific siope is ptactically inexhaustible,” he said. “I have been all over the ground during the past thirty years. and I know of numbers of good mines which are non-productive just because their owners have not the capital to operate them. Some of these mines have been working for twenty or thirty years, the owners getting just enough out them to keep them working. “It is properties of this sort that the company will develop. Our plan is to get the owner of a mine to put 4 price on his property, taking 4 work ing bond on the property for two years’ time, with the provision that the owner be paid @ certain per cent of the gross receipts of each month, which will apply on the purchase price In the event of purchase, The company will then put In the proper machinery and operate the mine tong enough to find out ite probabilities. If tt ie a good mine it will pay for itself within the two years, and if it is not, the company will not buy it, simply turning the property back on the owner.” “Shareholders will put up 10 per cent. In addition, the stock can be assessed but once a year. The ch: ter provides that the shareholders must be paid back all the money they | put into the company, and a reserve fund of $500,000 be accumulated be- fore the stock can be offered for sale The charter also provides that not more than 50 per cent. of the invest- ments of the shareholders can be | paid back before the reserve fund has reached the sum of $500,000.
