Alfred Brooks reports that there to believe
that the mining industry of Alaska has begun prosperous
The present high price of copper has encouraged
continuation of development work many copper properties

is probable that about dozen copper mines will pro-

year. ##s4: s. aHeg

A TRAIL THAT NEEDS ATTENTION

We see by late paper from Fairbanks that COL Richard
son. the Road Commission has recently promised the people
of Fairbanks $4,000 to be spent the trail to the
Tolovana placer camp. We glad to any district in
Alaska get aid for roads and trails but without anywe
bettleing the Toovana camp would call attention to the
fact this and almost unprospected region, in
which gold has been discovered and about which
Governor Strong has stated that his judgment the pay
streak is a very limited one.
