creek and his mine, the Kenai Alaska, is said to be showing up better all the time. A recent cleanup is said to have been entirely satisfactory.
 On the same mountain is the Skeen- Lechner mine, recently sold at Re ceiver's Sale. No work is being done there at present, but Jim Hamilton, who has been in charge for some time says it is good property, and it ought not remain idle long now that the legal entanglements have been disposed of.
 Charlie Hubbard is working stead fly on his property at Mile 20 and many friends who believe in the Kenai Lake quartz showings, would like to see the Primrose, Blue Bell and others on the list of producers.
 Frank Youngs is still at Cooper creek, and with other oldtimers, fails to agree with the Guggenheim ex- perts who turned down the Kenai river as a profitable dredging proposi- tion. Some people see purpose in this and will not be surprised if the Guggies come back again in the hope of making better bargains. At all events, those who know the Kenai river are in no way discouraged by the failure of the big mining concern to operate there.
 It is too early to proguoStieate the results of the seasons mining opera tions in this district, but we can say now that they are likely to be thoroughly satisfactory.
