which contains lead, zinc, antimony
 and gray copper This vein is much
 wider than the first one mined but is not so rich. On certain visit of the writer to the mine, he found
 the vein at one place to be six feet
 wide, of solid mineral between walls. ] According to Albert Johnson, the
 assayer, the zinc ore was the richest
 rock. Although penalized by the smelter to the extent of $20 to $50
 per ton for zinc in the galena, the
 ore high in zinc assayed the highest
 because of the amount of gray cop per scattered through it. In De- eember, they had about 800 tons sacked for shipment.
 So far, there have been five work able deposits discovered in the Kan tishna which can be mined under the present adverse conditions.
 The assayer for Aitken last winter was and also this winter has been instructed that any ore that does not average $165 per ton must not pass into the sack. All values that go below this are dumped over- board like so much waste, or left on the walls of the drift. Rock, no matter how extensive, running from $50 to s150 per ton is valueless as shipping rock under present condi- tions. This fact has made the road question and cheap transportation the vital issue of the camp.
 This winter, the Alaska Road commission is having much corduroy cut and distributed along the trail through the swamps between Roose- welt and Eureka creek. This road, according to the plans of the com mission, will be finished next sum- mer. and is being built to give in- mediate relief and a river outlet for the Kantishna ores. But the kantishna is not a navigable stream except during high water; hence the building of this road affords but limited relief.
 The Alaska Road commission is now Investigating the feasibility of building road from Eureka to the Government railroad, a distance of 75 to 90 miles, according to the route chosen. Interest centers in two routes. One is known as the Riley or Highway Pass route and also as the Upper" route. The other is known as the Lignite or ''lower" route. The Highway Pass route is the natural road through the Me- kinley National park to Muldrow glacier and would tap certain cop per deposits discovered during the summer. This route would serve park tourists as we'll as prospectors and miners.
 The Lignite trail would start from the Nenana Coal fields and would run parallel to the Birch creek schist belt for about 40 miles. and then from the vicinity of Little Moose and Stampede sulch would run for about 30 miles through the heart of the mineralized belt. to Eureka. The first 40 miles, more or less, out from Lignite, the route runs through an ancient valley, at right angles to the present water course, and much of this distance IS covered with a gravel bottom, a natural roadbed. The second half of the course would run up Clearwater and Myrtle and then down Moose creek to Eureka. This is an all- year route and has the advantage over the Highway Pass route in that It runs parallel and through the mlneralized area the whole length of the route. It would open up for development both placer and quartz, miles and miles of the hos+ ,,,;ro-,,

Gov. Cox and his personal staff
will not be able to sling from under
the burdens of the Wilson adminis-
