VALENTINE LOOKING
FOR BOY TO APPOINT
AS ANNAPOLIS CADET
JUNEAU — Emery Valentine is
looking for a young fellow about 17
years of age, industrious and of good
moral character to appoint to the
United States Naval. Academy at An
napolis. He stated this morning that
he had been granted the power to
make the appointment of one such
| man.
“ I am partial to the son of a wid
| ow,” said Mr. Valentine, “ some young
l man who is deserving and who needs
the help. When I find such a young
fellow from any part of Alaska he
will get the opportunity. Anyone who
goes to the academy and graduates
from now on should be in line for rap
id advancement on account of the
large increase in the navy which has
been ordered and with the large num
ber of new ships which will be put in
commission within the next few years.
There will be a large demand for of
ficers.”
ESKIMOS RACIALLY KIN
TO TARTARS, HIS THEORY
SEATTLE, Wash., Sept. 27.—After
making a careful study of the Eskimo
people of the far north, Dr. Judson
Daland, professor of the University
of Pennsylvania, who returned recent
ly from Alaska, is of the opinion that
the northern tribes of Alaska are de
scended from the Tartary races.
“ The peoples of both countries are
alike in many characteristics,” he said
while at the Hotel New Washington.
Dr. Daland expressed the opinion
that two traveling doctors should be
furnished by the government to fur
nish treatment for the natives of Alas
ka and that the natives should be
made to pay for the medicine which
they use.
“ The reindeer have done wonders
towards elevating the native of Alaska
to a higher stage of civilization,” he
said. Dr. Daland thinks Alaska has a
wonderful future, as a mineral coun
try first; as a fishing country second,
and as an agricultural country, a bad
third.

WASHINGTON.—In central Alas
ka, south of the Yukon, there is a
large area which prior to 1915 was
practically unknown. ■ In the summer
of that year a small party of experts
belonging to the geological survey
made a rapid exploration from Tan
ana river at Cosma to the headwaters
of Nowitna river and thence down the
Nowitna to the Yukon. A prelimi
nary statement of the important geo
logic and topographic observations
made on the expedition has recently
been published as a bulletin by the
survey.
Much time has been spent by a few
prospectors in a search for placer
gold on Nowitna river, but so far as
is known the occurrence of commer
cial placers in that region has not
been demonstrated. In much of the
region prospecting, it is stated in the
bulletin above referred to, is beset
with considerable difficulty, owing to
the great depth and breadth of the al
luvial filling in the larger valley.
Although no lodes have yet been
discovered, the evidence available
seems to suggest, it is said, that the
gold in the bedrock was probably in
troduced “ as a result of the igneous
activities that produced the monzon
ites and granites, so that gold is most
likely to be found near these intrus
ive masses.”
The map accompanying this report
indicates the distribution of these in
trusive rocks as well as of the other
geologic formations.
