Greensboro, most prominent, is brok- en by slate. schist limestone, gran ite and porphyry. Fine placer gold is found on nearly all streams, es- pecially where there is contact. Some of the old-timers are develop ing their property, which they have held for years, and it is showing up well. A few men who worked on the railroad have saved enough money to put in several seasons pros pecting, but the country is so big it will take many years to get over it. am convinced there will be some rich strikes made around here this summer. The weather conditions here are much better than nearer the coast, both winter and summer, which is a great advantage to pros pecting.
 ''The town of Chitina will put up many prospecting outfits this year and establish itself not only as a trail terminal, but mining center. In my opinion. the Copper River rail road will not have long to wait be- fore it is a paying investment"

Last Saturday night Richard Bach entered the home of Mrs. Minnie Harber, and after refusing to leave, when ordered out by H. E. Elliott, the father of Mrs. Harber, was badly cut about the head, hands and face by the irate parent, after a consid- erable struggle by the pair to gain possession of a large butcher knife which was lying on the kitchen table.
 At the preliminary hearing, which was held on Wednesday afternoon, MT. Elliott testified that Bach had been coming to the house frequently, and that he had put him out on two different occasions previous to the cutting. In his story to the court MT. Elliott stated that he was just about to retire when Bach entered

J. H. Biggs, mining man of con- siderable experience who arrived here last week from the coast, is very optimistic as to the mineral out look all along the line of railroad of the Copper River & Northwestern, and believes that nowhere in Alaska are there such probabilities for fu- ture development than in this miner al belt. MT. Biggs is from Valdez, and has been interested in mining propositions to the westward for number of years. He came here last week to expert several quartz pros poets, which were presented to him, and states that he is surprised and greatly pleased with the prospects he has already seen contiguous to Chit ina and believes that the hills all along the line of railroad and partic- ularly the mineral belt surrounding Chitina will be dotted with pros pectors just as soon as the snow and ice will have disappeared.
 It is certainly a prospector's par adise," said Mir. Biggs in an inter- view with the Leader representative. Your railroad has opened country which promises to be the richest dis trict in Alaska, not only in copper, but gold and iron. Valdez has a splendid outlook for future gold quartz activity, but since my arrival here and in Cordova, I have examin- ed samples of free milling ore which have come in from the surround ing hills along your railroad. that would make the glacier city enthu-

 I had made all arrangements to go with him, but have bought a country place about 90 miles from New York. and feel that l have to get that go- ing early this spring. Other business matters have conspired to knock me out of trip, so l am afraid that I will get no hunting until year from now
 Thank you for your invitation, which I would accept under any oth- CT circumstances.
 l expect if you complete the rail road this sprin you will not be in Cordova thereafter, and my pleasure up there would depend very largely upon seeing you. What are your plans?
 Everything has been going very prosperously with me, and rred has been having a very successful sea son, as usual. I am much disap- pointed that I can't get to Alaska this spring, and he is greatly disap- pointed that we can't go to Green land together.
 Let me hear from you once in a while and give my regards to any of the boys who may happen to re- member me. With kindest personal regards. Yours sincerely,
