 The Bristol Bay region is one of the few sections in the Territory which has not been surveyed by the Territorial Department of Mines anu iido USCil CliCShCQ OFCl Oiiiy sketchily by the U. s. Geological Survey enroute to other districts.
 Davey stated that with fishing the only industry, the district need ed the development of the mining industry to maintain its year round balance. Commissioner Stewart said that the Territorial Depart ment of Mines was interested in making the much needed survey and it is hoped that such sur- vey would open to mining an area hitherto passed over.
 Davey expressed the appreciation of the community of the work done by the Alaska Road Commission with funds allotted by the Territor- ial Highway Department in build ing a short road. He is in hopes that additional help may be re- ceived for roads.
