In opening up a newly discovered mining district it is seldom that a lack of something does not appear such as size of area confined, roads, transportation, communication, scar city of water or timber, and many other things. The vision of an ideal country where all these things are found is the dream country of the prospector. In all Alaska it would be difficult for sourdough to name such region unless he has been to Nuka Bay, for in the Nuka Bay district, where prospect and development pro- gross has been closely observed for the past two years, it is confidently believed the largest and most promis- ing quartz mining district in the en- tire Territory has been discovered.
 Six Hundred Dollar Ore
 This assertion is made from a care full survey of the work accomplished the active operating of the only mill in the region and the development work now under way, which is daily bringing to light new and rich leads bearing values from SIP to $90 a ton, and some of which will run as high as $500 Analysis reveals this to be a fact.
 The country is virgin insofar as prospecting is concerned. With very few exceptions the claim owners who have been on the ground during the past two years have hardly been of the beach. In previous years beach combing and prospecting with high power glasses, from gas boats, had been all the attention paid the region In most instances prospectors rushed over the ground with little investiga tion. No country can be prospected under the above manner, as it does not permit a close examination of the formation. To date there have not been more than ten men, and but i. operators to visit and locate proper ties at Nuka Bay, and every one ot these, following brief search found good-looking leads. Indications point that there is ample room for 200 tc 300 prospectors in the region.
 Larger Than Resurrection Bay
 Situated 70 miles from Seward. 1: hours by small boat, amidst towering rugged, snow-capped peaks, with countless dormant glaciers, nestlins in the high passes and mountain tops 3 with swift flowing streams and riv els and roaring waterfalls, most o them glacier fed, and with one of the finest stands of big timber in Alaska the country truly amaazes one There are three arms to Nuka Bay, Whicl is as large if not larger in area thar Resurrection Bay. These arms ar, named, North, South and West Arms and on these are found numerou smaller bays, inlets and lagoons, mak ing splendid shelter for large ant ,-slsmall boats.

proper. The general formation of the country breaks from granite country rock at Mccarthy Glacier, 15 miles distant, with heavy contacts and quartz mineralized dykes composed of country formation of graywack and slate.
 Wonderful Stand of Timber
 Mount Diablo, with it's upthrust peak penetrating to an altitude of ap. proximately 5000 feet, is perhaps the most prominent of the numerous in. terlocking peaks which surround the bay. On every hand dead glaciers abound. Massive paths have been swept down from the lofty mountains by snowslides, many of which yet overlap the waters edge AS a GOV. ering for the mountains and hills, 8 profusion of gigantic spruce trees, the largest some seven feet in diameter rise up to the average height of 200 feet, straight as rule and majestic in appearance. No hemlock is to be found in the region. A rich under. growth carpets the region to timber line, interiningled with gorgeously colored wild flowers of a varied hue and an abundance of blueberry and salmonberry bushes or vines.
 Ghost Forest on the Flat.
 The Nuka river, the largest stream flowing into the bay, is said to be about 25 miles in length and follows course through the lowlands believ ed to be rich in mineral wealth. On the flat, at the mouth of the river. and in the original stream channel, huge dead trees cover the flat. When first viewed the impression is gained that the forest has been visited by blight 1 for the bleached cOloring of the hang 1 ing foliage and the tree-trunks them selves, have ghost-like tinge, and g funereal appearance. Massive trees 1 by the thousands have had their tops shorn off as if with powerful scythe. This area has undoubtedl, been visited many years ago by 2 small tornado or hurricane.
 Gan Live Off of Country
 Though not overrun with wild ani mals. There is aample game for ordi nary subsistence, such as moose bears, goats, rabbits and ducks. IT the evenings the plaintive cry of the loon mournfully echoes from the hills From the bay various kinds of fst are easily obtained, including deli cious salmon trout. Large spide crabs measuring six feet in diamete are found here, as well as the Dunge ness crab. At low tide a pail of but ter clans may be dug within a fev minutes.

If you want to hurry up some par
ticularly handsome winter apples or
delicious looking winter pears, out
Wardly fair, but remaining as hard
as Pharoahs heart, and refusing to
show any signs of softening, initiate
nature and see how quickly they will
ripen up. BY a scheme of artificial
ripening that anyone can practice a
ripe supply can be secured in limited
quantity at any time from the hard
specimens taking their time about
softening.
Ripenmg on the trees, the fruit is
warm in the daytime and cool at
night This is it's natural ripening
process. The alternating heat and
GOODNESS do the trick. Merely initiate
by putting a hard winter apple or
pear in the icebox one day and in
warm room the next. Alternate for
about a week and see what a ripe,
luscious fruit You have ready to eat
out of hand.
Quick maturity of fruit must be
prevented if it is expected to keep
we'll all winter, and it must be stored
cool. This fast ripenipg scheme IS
merely to keep a supply of ripe and
eatable fruit on hand while the main
supply is slowly coming to maturity
in the containers in the cool storage
cellar.
