tion a valuable one. Mr. Skeen in
company with .lack heehner made the
lirst discovery of gold quart/, on the
Kenai peninsula.

shipping ores to the smelter for treat
ment according to Manager Ahren
stedt of the Alaska Copper Mining
company, a pioneer of that section.

company has sunk 1100 feet below sea
level, crossing a ledge of shipping and
milling ore for fifteen feet. The ore
carries paying values in copper, sil
ver and gold The property is located
at Point Ksterly and has been under
development for some months.

Alaska Mines corporation, with cop
per properties at Fidalgo bay. states

CAMP FIRE IS
RESPONSIBLE
FOR BIG LOSS
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct T The vigi
lance of the forest reserve as well as
the relentless manner in which they
follow up those who. through negli
gence or other reasons, endanger a
community to the ravages of confla
grations, is exemplified by a recent
case.
Two men left their campfire burn
ing. Although the smoke was almost
immediately detected by the forest
fire lookouts, it was supposed that the
county supervisor was burning drift
and other debris. It was found that
a campfire had been left burning and
had burned into the surrounding for
est, threatening to destroy not only the
timber but also the county bridge.
Also it was learned that the two men
had left the fire burning and after
certain evidence had been sc•aired
forts were made to locate them.
Five days later one of the men was
arrested more than one hundred miles,
from the seem* of the fire. Two days ,
subsequently the second man was ap
prehended. Tiny will he fried for,
leaving a camp fire i;m*xt iagui dieii
