Geologist Touts
K«diak Mountains
And Glaciers
Traversing Kodiak Island from
Kiliuda Bay to Zacher Bay was ac
complished recently by Dr. George
Moore of the U.S. Geological Sur
vey who has spent considerable
time here studying the island’s
rock formations and attempting to
make a determination of the la
land’s geological age.
In a talk before the Tuesday
luncheon of the Rotary Club in the
49 Room, Dr. Moore gave a de
scription of the country he covered
which is 25 miles west of here and
north of Old Harbor.
The scientist, accompanied by
Fred Barnhard, had just completed
his second trip over the same area
and he recommended flying to the
highest point rather than hiking
due to rugged terrain, underbrush
growth, devil’s club, and, in certain
seasons, danger from crevases in
the glacier areas.
In the course of these trips he
saw many groups of bear, open
meadow and wild flowers in abun
dance. He described the glaciers
and mountains “as pretty as you’ll
find in the Swiss Alps ... It is
well worth the trip.”
“The highest mountain on the
island,” he said, “is 4470 feet high
and presents an excellent lookout
point for viewing some excellent
scenery.”
Dr. Moore and his companion
subsisted on Army-type rations
during the trip. Shoud anyone
make the trip, Dr. Moore suggested
taking aong a compass: “It is easy
to get lost in the fog that some
times blankets the area,” he said.
Frazer Fishway
Opens Path For
3 Million Reds
Completion of the Frazer fish
way by the Alaska Department of
Fish and Game on the south end of
Kodiak Island has opened up an
area capable of spawning and rear
ing a run of up to 3,000,000 red
salmon, according to Dexter Lall
of the local ADF&G office.
Work on the project, which
traverses the 33-foot-high Frazer
Falls, was completed nearly three
months ahead of schedule, making
it available for upstream migrants
during the 1963 season

The 5,000-area of Frazer Lake
and its tributary streams opened
to spawning by the facility is con
sidered to have one of the great
est potentials of any of the blocked
streams in the westward area.
Department biologists have been
stocking the lake for several years
to establish the run, and believe it
capable of spawning and rearing a
run of up to 3,000,000 red samon
and providing a harvest of as much
as 1,500, 000 additional red salmon
yearly.
