in the gold fields of Alaska. While
there he invested in several locations
and also located some claims him
self. He has quite variety Of very
rich gold ore taken from some of his
property there and will go into min
ing extensively. He is organizing
company to take out modern ma
chinery to do the mining thoroughly
and every indication is that his com
pany will eventually get millions out
oft. Mr.. Ralphsnyder says that one
now can ride all the way to Dawson
City instead of taking the six hun
dred mile tramp that was formerly
necessary. He has great number
OF photographs showing scenes in
the gold regions and ia Dawson city
that arc very interesting and in
structive. Among Others is one of
cheap building in the city a large
part Of which he owns that rents
for six hundred dollars per month.
The same builning in a West Vir
ginia town would hardly bring six
dollars.
Mr.. Ralphsnyder will remain at
home this summer aud give his at
tention to securing more capital to
nnah the mining business. He il
