The recent trip Of Ross J. Kim ney, local Superintendent of the Alaska Road Commission, and Guy c. Boyd, was in itself an Odessy and would need master artist to do it justice. Travelling over a territory, an empire in extent. over coming obstacles that would turn aside men of weaker calibre. They spent forty eight days on the trail. averaging when they travelled, thirty miles day and averaging throughout the trip twenty miles. and covering one thousand miles of travel. When it is taken into con- sideration that a good deal of this was done over unbroken trails and done under adverse conditions. 1t may be safely said that it was a record trip by dog team.
 They left Nome Feb. 11th fol- lowing the mail trail to the mouth fthe Koyuk, but were detained at Bluff and Chinic through high water and the inclemency of the weather. From Koyuk to Candle by the way of Dime. stopping at Dime to inspect the shelter cabin on Dime and Bear creeks. near the head of Peace river.
 On Quartz creek before Candle was reached, Charley Evans, Frank Warsing and Ed. Hanson were found comfortably located on a good piece of mining ground where they had been engaged taking out payfor couple of years with a small hydraulic plant. They now intend to increase the size of the plant or put on a small dredge.
 Men are now getting out timbers for bridge building on EldorsdA and Bonanza and doing other work to improve the trail. which will be of distinct help to Quartz creek activities and all mining. in that district.
