The Hyder paper complains about
the poor attendance at meetings of
the Commercial association. “Twelve
members compose a quorum of the
association,” explains the editor.
“At nearly every meeting about half
this number may be depended upon
to attend. Then these faithful six
get out and scour the town for six
more to make up a quorum.”
The Wrangell Sentinel has raised
its subscription rate to $4 per year.
Recent exorbitant increases in the
cost of paper are responsible. The
Sentinel accuses paper manufactur
ers of being in a conspiracy to
force the price of paper up, and is
probably correct.

“If the efforts of those interested
in reviving and stabilizing the gold
production of the United States to
secure a bonus on newly produced
gold amounting to at least $10 an
ounce are successful, Interior Alaska
will come back with a rush,’’ de
clared R. C. Wood, president of the
First National bank, of Fairbanks,
while in Juneau recently enroute to
San Francisco on a hurried business
mission. ,
“Interior mining operations are
being forced out of the game by the
greatly increased cost of operations,”
said Mr. Wood, “and the establish
ment of a bonus offers the only
hope for immediate relief. While
there is considerable work being
done in all the Interior camps, the
operations will be even more cur
tailed than last year, and unless
there is a strike in as yet undiscov
ered rich placer districts, production
this season will not equal that of
last. A number of good cleanups
have been made already this year,
and those operators who are able to
mine under present conditions will
itake out considerable money.
Kantishna Looming Big.
“The Kantishna district is looking
better every day,” according to Mr.
Wood. “The Aitken mine is being
j steadily developed. Between 750
iand 800 tons of silver-lead ore,
valued at at least $250,000 and
probably even more, were hauled
from the mine to the Kantishna
river over the winter trail and is
j being shipped to Outside smelters
jfor reduction. Much ore mined last
winter is still being held at the mine
because of inability to haul it before
the spring breakup and *on account
of lack of summer transportation
facilities. It had not been intended
to work the mine this summer, but
a new ore body was encountered
early this spring which shows up
even richer than the ore taken out
during the winter, resulting in the
continuation of operations all sum
mer, although it will be impossible
to make any shipments during the
summer and food and supplies will
have to be packed in to the mine.
Ten tons of the new ore taken out
Ishowed an average value of $1,000
per ton,” said Mr. Wood.
Prospectors Active,
i “Not in years has there been as
!many prospectors in the hills as
there are today,” he said. “Many
of them are putting down holes in
the Kantishna creek valleys, while
others are prospecting for hard ro^k
propositions. In other sections in
the vicinity of Fairbanks oldtimers
are looking for the elusive pay
streak, and it would surprise no one
jif a big strike were made before

'fall.”
The need for immediate road con
struction in the Kantishna is em
phasized by Mr. Wood, A 30-mile
road, she says, should be built from
the Kantishna river to Moose creek,
in order that ore and supplies could
be transported to and from the
mines actively operating. If the
district is to be forced to await the
construction of a road in from the
railroad, it will be given a serious
setback which will likewise affect
the entire country, according to Mr.
Wood.
ALASKA TO SAIL
ON DAWSON TRIP
AT 11 TOMORROW
The steamer Alaska, which ar
rived from Dawson on Sunday and
which is now at Fairbanks washing
boilers, will sail from the upper
town at an early hour tomorrow
morning, for Dawson and way points
on the Tanana and Yukon rivers, j
and probably will get away from
Nenana about eleven o’clock tomov- j
row forenoon.
! The Alaska took two barges to
Fairbanks from Nenana and found
it necessary to relay up Chena
i slough, where the water is some
what low at present. The second
barge was delivered at an early
hour this morning.
The list of those who will sail
on the Alaska from the upper town
;is not available, but it is known that
;Mrs. William Brown will be among
j those on board, enroute to the
States. Several, it is believed, also
■will take passage at Nenana.
