 The Rush Begins

Warner Afford made the first trip of the season to Canes Greek with Q truck Thursday, taking the mar shal. Philip Macdonald, as passenger to the grounis to condu-. the sale of the PuntiIla dredge this afternoon.

 Afford also took out supplies to John Peterson's ground on Yankee Creek Thursday for Bob Winbauer and Billy Bruce. The latter men have secured options on this ground and plan tO do considerable develop ment there this season. Leroy Craw- ford left this week to work at that place.
 The freighter also reports that the Canes Creek dredge is expected to begin aoperations today.
 Afford has been very busy for the past tw0weeks unloading freight from the boats and making tTTps out to the various creeks. Since the opening of the road to 0phir he has been keeping 1t warm hauling back and forth. With the arrival sof the first boat in MeGrath last month, the busy season for freighters as well as those following the mining game, will be in full swing without letup until the river and roads eare clesed by ice and snow next fall.
 Although Afford did most of the longshormg on the river boats here, he has no definite agreement with the river freighters on this work, he said. This work Is done under agree ments with the dredge operators.

 FAIRBANKS, May 15-A group of men- n-preminently identified with min ing in the Fairbanks district have re- centiy formed the Alaska Mining As soeiation for the purpose of promot- ing the welfare of that industry III Alaska.
 All persons engaged in, or directly interested in, the mining industry m Alaska, are eligible to membership.
 The mining men of Alaska have many problems IT. common and much tangible benefit can come from any organization wherein they can pool their interests .and some of their problems. As stated in its organiza- ton papers the objects of the Asse- .iation are social, educational and scientific, and 1t is intended to spread information beneficial to the industry throughout the Territory.
 During the summer months. the miners Of Interior Alaska are too widely scattered for common met ings, but during winter months 1t IS proposed to hold dinners at which here will be talks and 2issZssions of rroblems arising in the field, and pos sibly the showing Of motion pictures of actual field operations
 The Association proposes to hold an -nnual general meeting ina different city each year, immediately following the close of the mining season.
 l. has been suggested that the As sociation cffer a suitable prize to the mining student at the University of Alaska presenting the best paper dur ing the year, which will be read at the annual meeting. The constitution and bylaws of the association are largely patterned after the American institute of Mining and Metallurgral Engineers.
 While originating in Fairbanks, it's officers hope that the movement may spread throughout the Territory and help t. accelerate the economic de- -elopnaent of the mineral resources f Alaska.
 The officers and directors for the irst year are;
 Ernest N. Patty. President and Di- rector.
