Hi Listers,
I have got a little mystery for you today~
I have 1100 stock shares(My great grandfathers) in a company called Port
Clarence Gold Mining and Development Company. They were into Hydraulic Mining
on the Seward Peninsula in Alaska. The stock certificates I have are dated
1905 and 1907. I have a facts book about the mining process. And also the
holdings of land in Alaska-it was called the Illinois Ditch~a total of 900
acres in 1907.
It is also written the following "The maps, deeds and all im
Thought it was about time I post my interests.
Looking for the following people in the Ketchikan area in the early
1900's:
George and Lilian (THOMPSON) ROUNSEFELL
* They had a total of 8 children (6 survived), the two youngest were
born in Ketchikan - 1905 and 1910.
* George was bookkeeper for:
1. Fidalgo Island Packing Company, and
2. New England Fish Company
* I have found them in the 1910 census
* This link provides more information on George and Lilian:

Hello,
For any mining information you can call the State of Alaska Department of Natural
Resources. They have a list of Mining Companies. You can call the Mining Directors
Office 907.269.8600 and another number is 907.267.2284. A letter will probably
also be answered addressed to: State of Alaska Department of Natural Resources
36th. and C Streets Anchorage, Alaska 99504. They actually have a post office box
and if you call ask for a proper address.
Good Luck
Helen
