RICH ROCK WITH
 GALENA AND FREE GOLD

Bringing with him some of the
 finest looking quartz seen in Ju- neau in many months, r. w. Ketch- m2rk, president of the Independent Gold Mining Corporation arrived in Juneau from Windham Bay on the last trip of the mail boat Pheasant.
 The quartz comes from the tunnel being driven by the company on their Windham- Bay property on which a crew of men have been working all winter. The sample was secured from a crosscut driven to cut the ledge and contains not only galena but many specks of free gold that are visible to the na- ked eye As yet the samples have not been assayed but there is no doubt but they will run high in gold values
 When Mr Ketchmark left the mine at least three feet of the rich rock had been drilled into. The samples came from that portion of the tunnel under which surface in Gications had shown ore running in value to twelve dollars and fifty cents a ton.
 After stopping in town for few days Mr Ketchmark will leave again for the mine with supplies and will superintend the tunnel driving for the rest of the winter.
 A number of local people are in- terested in the Independent Mining Corporation and it is all Juneau capital that is doing the develop ment work on the Windham Bay claims of the company.

Ditching by means OF dynamite is
by no means a new practice but it is
one however which has not been as
popularized as it should be. On good
ly number of farms in the county you
will find meadows which are too wet
to work in the spring Of the year be-
cause the standing water on them is
not provided with an outlet. Most OF
these same meadows have a fine work
duction if they were only given an OPP
portunity to prove their worth.
To this end the land clearing con-
test director in cooperation with A. j.
McAdamS of the DUPONT Powder Co.
have arranged several ditching dem
onstrations in the county to show the
method of ditching employed in agri-
cultural practices.
The program is as follows: Friday
of this week on the farm of +. w.
Mohr. south of Ladysmith; Tuesday,
Aug. 81, on the farm of Harvey Sugg.
north of Ladysmith; Thursday, Sept.
;, on the farm of w. KallstrOm, north
of Glen Flora, and on Friday, Sept.
3, on the farm of r. E. Lyons, east of
Bruce.
On the farm of ]. 4. Carter, north
of Ladysmith. 4O-rod ditch was re-
Gently blasted at a cost of $40. The
ditch rendered fit for cultivation a six
acre meadow This was at a cost OF
but $1.75 a rod, though the ditching
cost will average nearer 81 a rod. 1t
is safe to say that the cost of digging
a ditch by hand would run far in eX-
cess of that figure.
There are three or four factors
which have to be taken into cOnsidera-
tiCn: the proper kind Of dynamite,
the placing of loads at the proper depth
and proper distances apart and the
variation Of the loads should the soil
conditions change.
Those interested in ditching will
find it well worth their time to attend
one of these demonstrations
