Five log cabins for the accommodation of men and stock, with offices, assay quarters and black smith shop are upon the ground
 Lying west of the Alaska Consoll- dated Copper Co.'S property on Por- cupine Creek, the Alaska United Elk ploration Copper Co.,. have 13 claims The work done on this group consists of 400 feet of tunnel, which when ex- tended will cut minerallzed zone 30 to 40 feet in width. The character of the ore is sulphide. occurring in green stone and diorite.
 To the west of the Porcupine group is the Copper Mountain property, owned by the Great Northern Develop ment Company. More money has been expended in the development of this property than any other property in the Kuskulina district. Over 5000 feet of tunnel has been driven, block ing out great quantities of low grade ore ranging in value from 2la per cent to per cent cop per. Electric drills and gasoline en. zines and a saw mill are installed. It it understood that a quantity of ore will be mined this year and subjected to the oil flatution process to test its concentrating qualities,

 PETROGRAD, June 7.-Further reports have been received here concerning the battle between the German and Russian fleets in the entrance to the Gulf of Riga, between the Island of Osel and Dome Ness. The Russian fleet discovered the Ger man warshaps conveying bodies of German troops in transports whose evident intention was to effect landing, and sweep down from the north on the Russian forces who have cooped up the Germans in Libau. The appearance of the Russian fleet, was the signal for the conveying German war vessels to open fire The Russian naval commander says that his ship sank several of the German transports and one large warship, name unknown The Russians lose auxiliary ship.
 Naval authorities in this city conjecture that the majority of the German fleet which has hitherto been concentrated at Kiel, has now entered the Baltic However the battle squadron of the Ger mans did not put in an appearance at the Gulf of Riga and was apparently unengaged. The officials here have doubt but that Germany will repeat the attempt to land troops the Russian coast.

 Next on the east and adjoining the Lynch claims, Is the Rarus group, be- longing to the Alaska Consolidated Copper Co. Five claims are in this group, and they are located on the same mineralized zone. The work consists of an adit tunnel driven 400 feet to tap the ore body, which is chalcopyrite in character. The tun- nel is equipped with steel track and cars and the improvements on the ground consists of log cabins and tents for accommodation of the men. At the time of my visit no work was being done on this group. the force being employed on property further up the river.
 To the east of the Rarus group is the War Eagle. consisting of 10 claims belonging to Angus McDugall. No work has been done except open cut work, exposing the outcroppings in numer- ous places, which are of the same gen. eral character as the outcropping of the Rarus.
 Adjoining the War Eagle on the east is the property of the London & Cape Exploration Co,. all of which Is patented ground The character of the ore is bornlte and chalcocfte.
 Joining the London and Cape on the east. Thos. Lynch has two claims located in 1912, the ore showing being bornite and chalcocite.
 Further up the river and about two miles distant on Slatka Creek Is g group of six claims owned by Deyo Mcconnell X Johnson and to the east of these claims, still another grouI called the Mayflower, belonging tC | the same people.

posite side of the mountain is group of 14 claims owned by Golden X Kin ney. These claims lie near the head of the Chicosna river. a tributary of the Chitina River. A tunnel 150 feet long has been driven and when ex- tended should cut a contact lead of bornite, lying between the lime and greensboro. Living cabins have been erected and trails built This prop erty is situated about 8 miles from Chicosna on the c. R. & N. w. Ky.
 Situated on what is called an island in the Kuskulina glacier-but which is not an island but simply a part of Mt. Blackburn, is a group of claims known as the Big Horn owned by the Alaska United Copper Exploration Go. There are 10 claims in all and the character of ore is bornite and glance. There is GOO feet of tunnel on this property with cabins and building for the ac- commodation of men and stock There is an outcropping of almost solid Dor nite and glance at an elevation of 4,O00 feet. the surface measurements of which are 1872 feet by 12l5 by ? feet.
 The first property visited on the north side of the Kuskulina River at it's extreme head was groups, em bracing 35 claims in all and owned by the Alaska Consolidated Copper Go, the same people that ow nthe Rarus group.

 The Berg property, known as the Kuskulina Copper Co.,, consists of 12 claims located in 1909. They lie about 6 miles from the head of the river at an elevation of about 2,500 feet. The nearest point on the c. R. & N. W. By. is miles, but line to reach the property would be from 13 to IA miles in length.
