NEWS MINER DIGS IN

Owing to the fact that our new Mergenthaler is g feet wide and oc- cupies more space than a Chevrolet next week we will begin building an addition to this office which will add five feet to it's width, says our Fairbanks contemporary. Today we had the windows washed and to- morrow we will have the storm win dows put on, for Winter is apt to come to Our Town and there is no time like a warm day for making preparations for winter. The roof and foundations have been repaired and the warehouse is filling up with paper which is paid for, and we are digging in for a long siege and grind, and we hope to do better by the people and Our Town than we have been able to do before. Old machinery will be replaced with new as fast as we can make it, and Our Town will soon have newspaper fla cilities greater than it ever had.

the results of his investigations, owing to the strict government regula tions. But the mere fact that a U. S geologist has been making investiga tions on the American side from the Iskoot is significant in itself.
 Lewis G. Westgate also of the U s. Geological Survey, who last year made a geologic examination of the Salmon River region, recently made a report to the government on the ore deposits of the Salmon River district In Bulletin 722 which is just off the press MT. Westgate says:
 "The gold and silver lodes from Ret. chikan north are close to either the west side of the main body of granite rock or to the smaller intrusions that lie outside that body and still farther west. The ore deposits in the Salmon River are in corresponding position near the east edge of the batholith. The contact farther north is in Cana dian territory, but metal deposits of various kinds have been reported near it. This repation is essential, not ac- cidental The deposits border the batholith because the metals which they carry were derived from the igneous rock while it was still hot"

|NORTHL AND NOTES

In the opinion of the oldtimers of Seward, it was the heaviest to be recorded in years. At the height of the earth's disturbance it seemed for a while that many of the plate glass windows were doomed to de- struction, the panes weaving and twisting as though they were made out of rubber instead of brittle substance. In many of the homes it is reported that articles were shak- en down from shelves and all loose objects moved considerably. The most remarkable part of the occur rance is that no destruction of fragile material is reported.

Oldtimers say that never since the white man landed here have the snow and ice on the high ranges disappeared with such rapidity as during the summer just drawn to a close, and that they are not draw ing on their imaginations can be proven by look around from Hyder at the various peaks. Every where rocks are exposed that never before were touched by the suns rays, and some large snowf1elds, presumably everlasting, have disap- peared entirely. On the head waters of the south fork of the Marmont, where R. E. Lundvall has mining property, his ice road. upon which formerly it would have been possible to work four-horse team, has melted away until he cannot go over it on foot, and all property owners and prospectors operating in the upper reaches of the noun tains have similar stories to tell. If such summers as this become the rule, in few years we will be able to see nothing on the mountain peaks in the latter part of the summer but bare rocks.-Hyder Miner.
