Notwithstanding the fact that there Is no trouble in navigating Alaskan w't.ens as far north as the Alcutian islands at any season of the year, the rostoffice department under the head Of MT.

STAMPEDE TO kUSkokWlM
 IS NOT JUSTIFIED

It would be great pity and a ser- ious mistake for people to stampede into the kuskokwim district expecting to reap d quick fortune. according 70 Territorial Mine Inspector E. D. Stew art. Mining conditions there have not been exaggerated but it should be re- membered that it is q quartz district and it will take both money and con. siderable work to even prospect the country before real development can begin.
 MT. Stewart recently returned from an inspection of the distric. in which he covered it thoroughly. And while he believes that it Is one of the com- in ghnrd rock camps of the territory he warns against a stampede. No one. he declared should go into .he district unless he is equipped with T complete outfit and can make himself independent of outside work. There is no work to be had at this time. he stated. The Treadwell people have all the help needed now and there is no other outfit there operating as employ CTS of labor. Supplies are also scan.y according to MT.
