GOOD SEASON FOR PROSPECTING
Reports from the back country indicate that there
has been an extremely light snowfall during the past
winter, and that it will be a dry season. While this will
be unwelcome news to placer miners relying upon the
snows for water, it will aid the quartz prospector in giv
ing an early open season and dry footing during mid
summer, making it easier to negotiate streams where as
yet there are no facilities such as bridges. Therefore it
should prove especially beneficial to Nuka Bay and other
nearby regions, where only the coast line has been ex
plored.
Opportunities for prospecting in Alaska were never
better, due to the extension of trails and roads further
afield and facilities for reaching many coast-line points
where both lode and placer occurs. The man who was
compelled in times past, to spend the entire spring sea
son getting his grub and outfit to a promising region
may now have it freighted to within a few miles of the
scene of his operations and journey to and from the hills
at almost any time of the year, and have nearby bases
from which to secure supplies.
Prospecting in Alaska is as promising as it ever war,
and the annual discoveries show that there are still rich
deposits of placer and quartz only awaiting the coming
of prospectors of the type which first conquered the coun

DISTRICT GAME WARDEN CAD-|
WALLADER SAYS ANIMALS IN
FINE CONDITION
“Owing to abundance of feed and
the past two mild winters the moose
on Kenia Peninsula have thriven and
emerge this spring in fine condition,”
said District Game Warden Charles
Cadwallader, who arrived in Sew'ard
at 9:30 o’clock last evening aboard the
gasboat Hazel from Seldovia, the trip
having been made in 12 hours.
Mr. Cadwallader has just completed
his annual inspection of the moose
ranges, his trip taking him from Ke
nai Lake, down the peninsula to Sel
dovia, Kenai and Homer.
“I found the moqse as thick as range;
cattle,” said Mr. Cadwallader. “There
are many fine bulls and the calves and
cows are sleek and fat indicating that
they have wintered well. The bulls
are yet in the highlands, where there
is an abundance of good browsing of
willows and birch, and the cows for
the most part are in the lower regions.
“Any fear of decimation of the herds
is groundless,” continued Mr. Cad
wallader, “but on the contrary the
animals appear more numerous than
ever.”
During the last few days 350 tons of
ice has been stored in the local ice
house, Alaska Railroad.

spot where Cardinal O’Donnell of |
Ireland greeted in thee Gaelic tongue i
eucharistic congress. .
Out of the enthusiasm for revival
of the early Irish tongue, have come
two classes in the study of Gaelic,
one for those already familiar with
the speech and another for beginners.
In both groups singing and dancing
give vividness to the study.
As the direct ecclesiastic successor
of St. Patrick, the apostle of Ireland,
Cardinal O’Donnell welcomed the
eucharistic delegates in Gealic just
a stone’s throw from the school.
