We have wonderful pras- poets in Nuka Bay district" said Tom Babcock of Babcock and Dow ney, operators of the Sonny Fox" group of claims at the head Of Surprise Bay, in addressing the business men of Seward at the weekly luncheon of the Chamber of Commerce. Tt is my firm con- viction that within another year or two we will have at least three producing mines, and a real min ing camp.
 But there are not enough pros pectors in the hills and we who have been staying with our ground and working it diligently for the past three years would certainly urge the Seward chamber to do all in it's power to induce men to go forth into this heavily mineralized section for almost certain reward. There is no question about the aineral being there and it only

That which threatened to be a serious catastrophe in the industrl- al life of Seward and a paralyzing blow to the city's participation in the activities of the Territory seem to have been happily averted thru the sincere and energetic activities of Captain Robert B. Woolverton, chief of the U. s. Signal Corps here who has found the solution of the problem of radio reception and thereby slaves off the order of the War Department to move the whole signal corps personnel and equip ment to Cordova.
 The order had been deemed nec- ossary because of electrical inter ference in Seward from the far flung radio stations of Alaska, as far away as Point Barrow and Un- alaska Because of the peculiar topographical situation in ReSur- rection bay and the conformation of the adjacent mountains, every electric motor in Seward so jazz ed' up the air entrants at this sta tion that at times, radio messages were absolutely unintelligible, a very serious problem in the trans action of army and navy business and the transmission of weather reports which are of outstanding value to the U. $.
