Franklinites Hope for Alaska Like Gold In Ripples

In Franklin on November 15 residents cheer a Klondike of their own as quartz samples from Homer Snow and A P Woodward assay at 17.50 dollars per ton in gold and 4.50 in silver. Jerome Prince, a Milford mining expert, claims a mineralized belt runs from Rhode Island to Vermont and that under Snow’s land lies rich ore. Woodward leases the property to Prince and Blackmer for ten years to develop the mine with a proposed 209000 dollar stock company and plans for further blasting to reveal free gold. The vein measures 55 to 65 feet wide and could yield significant riches if assays hold.
