 "l believe. however" said Mir. Mor- rlson. that many men will quit man. ual labor on the road to engage in mining. The great wealth of the Knik district is bound to attract some who have funds to work quartz claims"

SEATTLE. Nov. 12. - The greater the development of mining properties in the Knik district of Alaska the richer they appear, says William Mor- rison, superintendent Of stamp mills on the famous Gold Bullion mine, who is at The Palace
 "The 1915 output of the Knik gold mines" said Morrison, "was the lar gest yet. In every ease. as work pro- gressed. the claim appeared richer than at first believed
