 The advertisement confirms the telegraphic despatches relative to the approval of an offer for sale by the Forest Service at Portland which appeared in The Empire several days ago. General Manager George T. Jackson stated today that he had received nothing new on the project and had no information further than tAdt dH oHcl lidu Ueeu tcuuciou loi the timber.

Walter DeLong arrived this morn ing on the Princess Mary and to- morrow will become manager of the C. w. Young Company MT. De Long came north to assume his du- ties following a conference with J. C. Mcbride, President of the C. w Young Company and Harry Fisher, who has been manager of the well known concern.
 Mir. Fisher will be in the East for several months attending to details concerning his fathers estate and MT. Mcbride will also be absent for sometime perhaps and it was decided to place an experienced hardware man as manager of this big local company.
 MT. DeLong is no stranger to this section of Alaska having been for three years and one half supply and transportation agent, in charge of all retail stores of the Alaska Gastineau Gold Mining Company. Leaving Juneau he went to the Westward and for three years was in a similar position with the Alas kan Engineering Commission, as he held in Juneau.

MINING REVIvES
 IN INTERIOR IN
 MANY DISTRICTS
Cotwals, Returning From Log Trip, Gives Review of
 Conditions Existing.

 the Interior districts is reported by Col. J. c. Gotwals, Engineer Officer for the Alaska Road Commission, who returned to Juneau last night on the Watson after an absence of several weeks during which time he covered approximately 1,450 miles by dog team and sleds and inspect ing winter trails in nearly every section of the Interior and looking over proposed new routes planned for construction by the Commis- sion. Most of the travelling done by Col. Gotwals was with Leonard Seppela and his trophy winning team of Siberian dogs.
 In the Ophir-racotna, Kusko- kwim, Kantishna, Cache Creek and Willow Creek districts, Col. Gatwals reported optimistic outlooks and the residents in each of them feeling encouraged for the future of the mining industry. He said state ment would be given out from Com mission headquarters in few days relative to roadwork in the sections he has just visited.
 Dredges for 0phir.
 Three dredges are being shipped into the Ophir district by the Union Construction Co.,, for operation, two of which will probably be operated tlis season as they are now being freighted from the lower Kusko- kwim into the district. The third was to have been moved from Greensboro this winter but the con tractor was unable to do the work. The dredges will be installed on Yankee and Gaines creks, tribu- taries of Orhir. The peak of high prices, said Col. Gotwals, is just hitting the Ophir-Tacotna region as well as other Interior districts, but despite that fact, there is general feeling of optimism prevailing. In the Ophir-Tacotna there is plenty of work for everyone and the dredge operations together with the devel- opment work to be done on Nixon Fork by the Treadwell Company promises a busy season.
 Development Substantial.
 Substantial development work or ] the quartz property at Nixon Fork is being done by the Treadwell peo. pie, said Col Gotwals. A substan tial amount of cross cutting an6 shafts has been done and the com pany is preparing to put in a 10 stamp mill on the property.
 Placer Activities.
 i Some placer activities were noted along the route. Two outfits were at work on Ruby Creek just below Nixon Fork and reported good re suits. Four outfits were at work or Poorman, employing 50 to 50 men taking out winter dumps. One out fit was taking out a winter dump or l Long Creek.
