MARCH 6, 1891-Word has been received that there has been a reorganization of the management of the Eastern Alaska Mining & Milling Company during a meeting of the directors at Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Mr. Depue is apparently no longer superintendent of the mine which last year operated its 10-stamp mill on ore from the Jumbo lode. Farther down Gold Creek, it is hoped that the Coulter mill will operate this season. It was closed last year because of discord in the company. Archie Campbell will make some improvements in his Dodge mill on the Fuller First and plans run it this year. And with the litigation settled between owners of the Dora and Humboldt claims, it is anticipated that both will be mined this season.
