CONTINUE WORK AT UNGA
Strike Was Made in Apollo Mine
 Which Looks Big

Operations are still in progress in the Apollo copper mine at Unga be- cause of a promising strike which was made last September just as the mine was about to be closed down perman- entIy. It had been decided that the ore body was worked out and although the company has a S3O0,OOO machinery plant in the mine it seemed advisable to abandon the property. The presi- dent of the corpany, G. C. King, was in Seattle recently, and said to the Post-Intelligencor:
 "The property has been paying good returns for nearly eighteen years. Since | left Seattle in September for the purpose of closing down, discover ies have been made which the company believes justify resuming operations. We will work a crew all winter de- veIoping the new ore body.
 "From the present indications l be- Iieve that the ore body is fully aslarge as the one on which the mine was operated before.
 ''The last shipments of concentrates from the mine were sent to the Everett shelter and the returns were much better than any we have had from the different smelters we have tried in British Columbia, and when the oper- atiops are resumed all shipments will be made to Everett"

 oi Experiments

C. C. Gaor.ason, special agent m charge of Alaska investigation for lnc United States department of aqr.cuI- lure is firm in the belief that Central Alaska offers good inducements to settlers who desire to make their live lihood from agricultural pursuits. Mr. Georgeson. who spent last season in Alaska, is at present in Washing ton city compiling his report to the department with which he is con ncctcd, and in a letter to John E. Bal laine of this city, details some Of the results of his work,
 The letter states that the various experimental stations distributed seeds to the prospectors last spring and that the results have been very favorable. From these seeds vegetables of the more hardy kind have been produced, comparing favorably in food value with the same kind raised in the Chi ted States The Indians have had sue cess with Irish potatoes and grain growing in the Copper river valley and the Yukon valley has shown good results.
 The letter states that the area avail able for agriculture and grazing in- cludeS a section 100 miles wide and l5O miles long taking in the Matanuska valley, the region north of Knik arm, the little Susitna and the Susitna val ley proper. Timber, it is stated, is found in considerable quantities and large enough to serve for building purposes, and the luxuriant growth of natural grasses is dwelt upon as mak- ing grazing and dairy farming profit able.- Seattle PoSt-Intelligencer.
