SIBERIAN OPPORTUNITIES
NAME NEW MAGAZINE
SAN FRANCISCO, May 14 (by As

about a better understanding between
business men and houses of this

to the first number of the magazine
are Mayor James Rolph, jr., of San

president of Stanford university.
BOULEVARD TO
BE SURVEYED
THIS SUM!
C. G. Morrison, engineer in charg
of road building in Alaska left on thl
morning’s train for Fairbanks. B<
fore his departure he stated that
survey of the Cordova-Eyak lake roa
would be made this summer, and th
road from Second street to the lak
would also be completed at once. Th
boulevard around the lake will be te:
miles in length.
It is also the intention to spen
$25,000 on a road at Katalla; $10,00
on the Seward-Kenal road and $5,00
on the Quartz creek and Russia
river road to the westward.
All of this road construction will b
done under the forestry service whic
derives its fund for such work froi
“federal air road money approprii
tton” created by an act of congres
three years ago. That approprlatio
set aside $10,000,000 to be used in th
building of roads and trails in an
adjacent to national forests. The bil
however, contained a provision ths
the forestry service must obtain “c<
operation” before it could expend an
money for this road work.
The head of the bureau has rule
that “co-operation” means that th
local communities, state, territor;
county or city, or some other branc
of the federal government must a]
propriate funds to help carry on th
work before the forestry departmer
would undertake the work.
Of the $10,000,000 appropriate
$1,000,000 becames available annuall;
and of this amount Alaska is allotte
$46,280 each year.
During the past three years none i
the money has been expended i
Alaska, so that there will be, afte
the first of July, nearly $180,000 avai
able for road building in the territor;
provided the necessary “co-operation
is extended.
AMERICANS CONSUME
MORE MEAT THAN EVEI
DENVER, May 15 (by Associate
Press).—Americans are becoming-^
ger meat eaters, according to figure
compiled by a local packing and pr<
vision company. In spite of the wa
h the consumption of meat per person
in 1918 was 17.5 pounds more than
the year previous. Each person, on
the average, ate 193.5 pounds of meat
last year, as compared with 176
pounds in 1917. The figures include
dressed beef, veal, pork, mutton and
goat and extra edible parts, such as
livers, kidneys, hearts and lard.
No Water For Sluicing
The story of Big ldorado creek re
garding the water situation is about
the same as all others in the district
—no snow, no water for sluicing.
There are four large winter dumps
out on that creek awaiting the flow
of water. All that the miners there
can do is to keep on mining and add
to the dumps already out, depending
on rain to furnish the needed water.
Of the miners located on that creek
Cosgrove and Hill are more fortun
ately situated than any of the rest;
a large spring on the hillside above
I ^i|il!li;!lll!l!!llli!lllllll!llilllilllllllllllllllll!lllllllllllll!llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
their claim furnishing sufficient
water to "splash” their dump through
the boxes. By damming the spring
they are enabled to accumulate suf
ficient water for that purpose. As it
takes considerable time to fill the
dam the process is a slow one. Old
timers there state that this is the first
time at this season of the year that
sufficient water could not be had for
mining purposes.

Quartz Mill on Eva
The quartz mill on va creek owned
and operated by John Michely, Dave
Thomas and Frank Hagel has been
started. The first ore to be run
through the mill will be that taken
from their own mining property last
winter—about three hundred tons.
The mill would have commenced
operations some time ago but on ac

count of the cold nights the flow of
water was not sufficient to keep the
batteries going full time. It is ex
pected that the mill will be run
steadily until the full tonnage has
passed through the mortars.
