The Standard Oil Company’s
camp on Pearl Dome is report
ed to be fairly smothered j
under the heaviest snowfall ot

but'the smoke stacks, the road
grader was brought out and
for two days was pulled round
and round the bunk house by
a caterpillar in ap effort to
clear away some of the snow.
About ten feet of snow was re
ported on top of the stables
and the horses were being
quartered in the warehouse
and workshop. The snow did
not interfere to any serious ex
tent with drilling operations,
as the drill rig i3 located on
top of a windy ridge.
Th drill hole is now down ov
er 3,375 feet ,with indications
that a flow of oil will be en
countered when 3,500 feet art
drilled.
The directors of the Victoria
Chamber of Commerce recent
ly passed a resolution against
the renewal of the treaty be
tween the United States, Great
Britain and Japan governing
sealing, which expires next
year. The Chamber of Com
merce favors reopening deep
sea sealing on the Pacific, un
der the claim that the seal
herds, under the protection of
the United States, have in
creased beyond all expectat
ions. The Vancouver and Vic
toria newspapers have also
been agitating the ending oi
the treaty. /
The treaty placing the ban on
pelagic sealing became effect
ive December 15, 1911, ano
was to run for a period of lo
years and continue until one oi
the. signatory parties gave «
year’s notice in writing. The
treaty covers the Kuriles,
Pribloff and Kimandorskis Is
lands and Canada and Japan
receive 15 per cent of skins
taken on the Pribloffs by the
United States, and Canada
and the United States receive
a like percentage of the skins
taken, by Japan on the Kuriles
and other islands.
Now Alaska geographical
d'.-coveries on considerable im
portance are revealed by a
”ie',v map of Alaska issued by

ment of the Department of the
Interior. The discoveries wert
made largely by government
geologists. They include over a
hundred new tributaries of the
Colville River andjalso divers
important changes ; n the bas
in. The chart also shows the
eastern mouth of .he Chipp
river and other str< ams on tlie
Arctic watershed.
Oi unique interest! is the fact
that the map recordb the reap
pearance of Icy Bar, 8 miles
wide, at the edge the edge
of Jdalaspina glacier in south
ern Alaska, which appeared
twice before and late{-filled u.
with ice. The discovery of An
iachak crater, six miles in di
ameter and a half mile deep,
within 40 miles of Chignik is
also reported.
A company of which Frank .
Reid is the representative, is j
preparing to start a new watei ;
power development project in
the near future. The proposit- j
ion embraces the expenditure j
of about 8200,000 for dam. j
generators, power lines, etc.. 1
and will provide cheap light '
and power for the Seward i
section. The generators to be j
installed will be of the low i
speed type, turning but_60t 1
revolutions per minute, ant;
the plant will develop 25,000
horsepower, it is estimated.
