 MT Moran is from the Kobuk coun- try, and is as full of optimism as an egg is of meat. He declares the coun- try north of the Arctic circle is going to come to the front, as 1t is one of the best mineralized sections of AL aska, containing asbestos, copper, placer silver, gold and coal.
 On Dahl river, MT. Moran states, from 400 feet along the river s5O.OO0 in gold has been cleaned up, one mug get from this ground weighing 49 ounces. Another advantage MT. Moran claims for his section is that it is timbered, although 1t Is twenty miles nor'h of the Arctic circle, with plen- ty of timber, although of smaller size than obtains further south, and he has photographs to show that the tim Der is abundant and of suitable size for buildings.
 Mir. Moran is engaged in fox farm ing, and has a number of animals, in blue, black, red and white varieties.
