ANOTHER LARGE MINE
DISTRICT FOR RYDER

A big amalgamation scheme has been completed in connection with two large properties on the Bear river and a company is being incor- porated To carry on development work with view 10 making of it a second Premier mine. according Go the Prince Rupert News.
 The name Of the new company is Dunwen Mines. Limited. It will aa- quire the group of claims hitherto held by the Dunwell syndicate on glacier creek and the property Of the Stewart NJ. and D. These adjoin each other and al the intersection of the veins is supposed to be the big ore body just as it was in tha Pre- mier mine.
 About 2.OOO feet of underground work was done on the Stewart group 10 years ago and since then the property has been idle.
 Considerable surface work has been done on the DunweH claims and last season the main showing was stripped for about 300 feet
 The similarity Of he ore occurauc- es on this property and at the Pre- mier mine has led to investigations which have resulted ln the forma- tion of the DunwelI Mines, Limited
 The new company is capitalized aJ S35O.00O. The holdings consist of .l4 mineral claims, some or which are crown-granted. Active develop ment work will be begun about May I.-Empire.

And by the city dump they stopped, and from a jug the stopper popped A beaker of the booze he took; his vitals 1t began 10 cook and clouds Of bluisn smOLc arose. emerging from his ears and nose. He cried, I've had my forty drops, Now watch me whip Ihe vil- lage cops; I feel like Samson when he slew lion or a kangaroo And when the sun rose, bright and red two cops were sitting on his head. And others beat him on his soles with heavy liguum vit8 poles.

YUKON'S SUPERIOR WINTER

KIondikers just returned from the Pacific coast, where they spent the winter. all bring the report that the
 weather there was a disappointment
 From Prince Rupert to San Diego
 the temperatures were low and it was either snow. rains or mercurial
 weather of some sort practically all winter. Some who went from British Columbia points to Southern Cali
 fornia hoping 10 find il sunny and summer-ike. were disgusted. and soon returned 10 their more north crIy homes.
 Mark the contrast in KlOndike This region had an ideal winter. The thermometer took a dip to sixty be- low just one day. but the weather
 was dry and the clange was rather enjoyed as a novelty for that brief period. On the whole. the cold, crisp and dry weather here the last six months was ideal. Few winds mar red the serenity or fussed up the trails. and few days were such but that travellers. man or woman, when properly clad. tingled with the thrill of the experience in the eX- .hIiratng open air.
 Newcomers into the country and oId-umers eXuIted in the Yukon winter. and had every reason to re-
 joice. In many older parts of the
 world the cold, crisp air of the
 northern zones IS sought by inyalids and others who want a stimulating
 and health-Eiving atmosphere es- pecially among such as have suffered from euuui or nervous troubles The ozone of the Yukon winter is a tonic that would bring the glow of health
 to many an auemic ind vidua! from
 the so-caued lands of soft Sayau
 uals. where incidence is all too com mon and health and energy reduc-
 d.
 It will be found that wher rail ways gridirou the north and connect
 this far frontier of today with the hub of the continent, and vixen air
 craft help in the aunihilation of dis
 tauce to those who would journey
 Co and fro that this part of the con
 unent will be sought by many as a Mecca for the weary and jaded, as well as the delightful spring 5f the
 temperate zone. and are already at tracuug great numbers. Alaska and
 Yukon now together attract thOus-
 auds annually in summer. h tune
 they will attract thousands in wIu-
 fer.
 Yukoners who went outside this
 winter hoping to find a better cline
 and more delightful surroundings
 testify of their disappointment in a
 way that should be a potent persIa-
 sive force in keeping other Yukon CTS at home in future winters

NAVY OIL RESERVES
NOW ABOVE GROUND
NcD Policy Insures Speedy
Supply for u. S. Fleet.

WASHINGTON, April IA new policy
in handling reserves Of fuel oil for the
navy, involving abandonment OF at
tempts to keep the oil In storage UNDER
ground, was announced to-day by the
Interior Department. Tho project was
worked out In cooperation with the Nevy
Department and involves the permanent
storage above ground OF royalty oils
derived from naval oil reserve lands In
California and wyoming.
Contracts have been made and are
row being made" the statement said.
(which will insure the navy ample
storage for all the fuel oil which II has
obtained now and which 1t will obtain
hereafter from sucn reserves. This
storage will be located az such points
that In any time or crisis or need the
ships OF the United States can obtain
the same at points from Guantanamo,
Cuba. to the extreme northeast OF Maine
and from California to Hawaii"
The Interior Departments statement
said: THE theory upon which these
naval reserves were created was that
supplies of oil should thus bo insured
for the use of the navy as fuel
After thorough and full examination
and consideration by the best experts
whose opinion we could obtain It became
apparent that we must secure storage
for such naval oils above ground"
