OF ALASKA ISSUED
'.ST WALL MAP
3w wall may of Alaska has Just
ssued by the United States
;ical Survey. This map is on a
of 23.7 miles to 1 Inch
)0,000) and measures 82 by 55
It Is printed in two colors,
■eans, large rivers and lakes
in the blue and the other fea
in black. The relief is not
i, but the location of the princi
ountains is indicated. This map
•ed on the most reliable data
ble, gleaned from various sources
rincipally from the maps of the
1 States Geological Survey. This
zation began its systematic sur
the territory eighteen years ago
n this time has mapped about
) square miles, or over 25 per
.if the total area of Alaska
00 square miles). The Bhore
f the new map is largely taken j
the charts of the Coast and
tic Survey, and full use has also
made of the maps of the Inter
nal Boundary Commission, the
Department and other govern
mental organizations. In lack of bet
ter information concerning some
regions use lias also been made of the
work of early exploring expeditions
and the reports of prospectors and
traders. Information which is not very
exact is indicated by broken lines.
The largest unsurveyed areas in
Alaska lie in the drainage basins of
the rivers flowing northward to the
Arctic ocean. This region is so inac
cessible as to be of small commercial
importance and is not known to con
tain mineral resources other than coal.
There are also considerable areas in
the Kuskokwim River basin that are
still unsurveyed, and this is one of the
fields to which the Geological Survey
is dispatching parties this year. The
Aleutian Islands are still known only
through the charts of the early ex
ploring expeditions made chiefly by
the Russians.
On the other hand, practically every
mining camp has been surveyed and
investigated by the Geological Survey.
The high-grade coal fields of the-Mata
nuska and Bering River and many of
the more important gold and copper
bearing districts have been surveyed
in detail. The region traversed by the
proposed government railroad from
Seward to Fairbanks has also been
surveyed and Investigated by the Geo- *
logical Survey. The results of all
these topographic surveys are sum
marized In graphic form on the new
wall map, a copy of which wait yester
day received by Commissioner Medley.

RICHMOND, Va., June 6. — The
Twenty-fifth annual reunion of the
United Confederate Veterans, closed
its sessions yesterday and was the
greatest gathering of Confederates
since the war. The leading feature of
the reunion was the great military
parade and spectacle, in which not
only the Confederate veterans but
erne kmilitary commands from the
north and south participated. Ten
thousand Confederates, more than
3,000 Virginia militiamen, "The Old
Guard” of New York, the Governors
Foot Guards, of Connecticut, fifteen
military bands, and many military or
ganizations from the Southern states
were in line.

REAL ESTATE ON
SEWARD, June 5.—The Brownell
homestead adjoining Seward has been
sold. The purchasing price has not
been made public but it is believed to
have been large. Mr. Sears of New
York, who has associated with him
certain Seattle interest, was the pur
chaser. It is believed that the home
stead will be platted off and put upon
the realty market here.

EVANS WILL BE HERE
EARLY IN MORNING
The steamer Admiral Evans is due
from the westward at 4 o'clock in the
morning and will remain here but a
short time before sailing for Katalla,
Juneau and Seattle.
“Dutch” Blanchfield is in town and
will start for Fairbanks on Monday
morning.
Having bought copper deposits, free
gold veins, silver ledges and coal
measures, the Guggenheims varied
their usual mining procedure by clos
ing a deal for the purchase of a river,
from the bottom of which It is ex
pected they will garner several million
dollars in gold dust and nuggets. The
Yukon Gold Exploration Company, a
Guggenheim corporation with a capi
ta! of about $20,000,000, has bonded 11
miles of Kenai River, near 8eward.
The amount involved in the deal is
close to $2,000,000, divided among a
number of different claim owners,
bonded for purchase outright and the
others will be operated under a lease
on a royalty basis.
The tract is regarded as one of'th'e
biggest dredging propositions in the
Northern country. Drilling for the
purpose of defining the paystreak will
be commenced within thirty days, the
necessary machinery going forward to
Sewar don the steamship Alameda.
The size and number of the dredges
to be installed will be decided after
the drilling has been completed.
Part of the ground taken over by
the Yukon Gold Company is owned by
the Yukon Gold Mining & Milling
Co., of which Frank E. Youngs is
president; part is owned by the Kenai
Dredging Company, a Seattle corpora
tion, of which B. R. Brierly is presi
dent and manager; part is owned by
James Hayden and Derrick Dane of
Seward, and the rest is scattered
amongst nearly 100 different claim
owners. The whole property makes
the largest tract of dredging ground
ever brought under one ownership and
management.
The Kenai River has been produc
ing gold on a small scale for a num
ber of years, but as the work done
has been mostly by the crude method
of rocking on the rimrocks, at which
the owners have made little more thnn
grubstakes, the amount of gold it has
produced is not large. The owners of
the properties have held on in the
hope that somebody could be induced
to buy it for dredging purposes.
Part of the ground was drilled about
two years ago by Dean Milnor Rob
erts, of the University of Washington.
The drilling to be done this summer
will be largely for the purpose of
checking up and for ascertaining the
width of the auriferous gravel in pirts
not pre\ iously prospected.
Several years ago a new device in
dredging was placed on the ground,
but the machine did no twork satis
factorily. It dug about as much
gravel as the number of men as were
employed on the dredge could have
thrown into sluice boxes by hand
shoveling. After the failure of this
mnehine it was thought that dredging
in this region was a failure.
Dost summer C. E. Herron, formerly
of Nome, where there are many
dredges at work, visited Seward and
took options on Six Mile Creek, where
he is now installing a big dredge built
in Seattle by the American Dredge
Building & Construction Co. Herron,
it is understood, tried to obtain op
tions on Kenai River, but the titles
were held by so many different per
sons that he gave it up, and took Six
Mile Creek instead.
The Yukon Gold Exploration Com
puny owns a number of large dredging
machines operating in Dawson. One
of these is said to be the largest ma- |
Rhine of this kind in the world. The
company also owns a dredge on Flat
(’reek in the Iditarod district.
FLEET WILL NIT
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 6_
President Wilson and Secretary of the
Navy Josephus Daniels have deter
mined not to send the ships of the
Atlantic fleet through the Panama
Canal next month as had been
planned. They have agreed that it
would be unwise to attempt such a
thing at this time, ns the condition of
the canal in the vicinity of the Gail
lard cut is uncertain. The decision of
the President and Daniels will be a
severe disappointment to the authori
ties of the Panama-Pacific Exposition,
who have been planning a big recep
tion when the battleships arrived at
the fair.
CORDOVAN GIVES OUT
A FEW CONCRETE FACTS
"While other towns In Alaska are
enjoying a boom, Cordova is steadily
plugging away and gradually increas
ing its business on a stable basis,”
said Malcolm Brock, a banker and
business man of the seacoast terminal
of the Copper River & Northwestern
Railroad. He is registered at the
Hotel Frye.
“I noted a newspaper story in The
Times to the effect that Cordova
shipped approximately $500,000 worth
of copper ore during the month of
May,” he said. "The Times underesti
mated rather than overestimated the
amount. By the end of the month we
believe the value of copper ore shipped
will be nearer $1,000,000 than half
that sum.
"Business at Cordova is steadily In
creasing. More men are being put to
work, and there is no unemployed
problem so far as Cordova is con
cerned. Many new prospects are being
opened up and developed, and some
that have been opened up are being
placed on a producing basis. The
growth has been slow but steady, and
it will continue. Of course, when the
coal is opened and we are able to put
up a smelter, Cordova will be a big
town, for the low grade ores which
because of the cost of transportation
to Seattle are now being thrown on
the dumps will then be worked and
thousands of men will be employed tn
the mines.”
Mr. Brock is en route to California
to see the exposition and to attend to
time.—Seattle Times.
