SNOW RIVER COUNTRY CLOSE HUNTING AREA FOR RESI-
 DENTS OF SEWARD

Now that he has ceased devel- opment work in his quartz mine near Mile IA; Seward -Kenai high way, for the season, John H. Dryer, has decided to spend this winter on his Snow River trap line. John was in town yesterday and show ed the report on his assay from the 3,73O pounds of ore he shipp- ed out recently to the Tacoma smelter; it ran
 S19 IN GOLD TO THE TON but while this report did not come up to his expectations he is not doWnhearted at all but confident the values will increase the fur ther he sinks in. The next ship ment to be sent to the shelter will be ground up and only the con- centrates sent. At the present time he is still undetermined as to what type of a mill he will erect. In the meantime he proposes to send ore specimens to the Alaska College for analysis.
 THE SMALL MATTER
 of the necessity of having a two and one-half mile wagon road to the highway bothers him not at all for, he says, he will build it himself. The road will run south from the mine connecting up with the tie road put in by Bill Car den, leading to the intersection of the highway with the railroad.
 MT. Dryer said that Tessie will haul in some lumber for him this winter with which he will build a new cabin at the mine site for due to the dampness of the re- zion and present quarters, every thing becomes mildeWed quickly. The new cabin will therefore be built at least four or five feet off the ground.
