of

who
has

to

during
the

two
weeks.
This
year,
the
almost
forgotten
district
around
the
village
of
Stewart
i
which
borders
on
the
base
of
the
Alaskan
.panhandle
at
the
head
of
the

has
received
more
inquiries
about
mining
prospects
than
during
any
year
since
the
beginning
of
the
war.
Consequently,
an
atmosphere
of
optimism
pervades
the
district.
Residents
of
the
village
and
Its
companion
town
oi
Hyder,
Alaska,
believe
that
they
will
finally
turn
the
page
on
their
25-year
chronicle
of
delayed
hopes
when
the
end
of

war
relieves
the
manpower
and

enough
to
allow

of

The

The

would

makes
it
