COPPER RIVER REGION
HAS BEEN MAPPED BY
GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
The region about the headwaters of
Copper, Matanuska and Susitna riv
ers, in southern Alaska, though more
accessible than many parts of Alaska
that are much better known, had not
been fully covered by government sur
veys until a few years ago, when a
party from the United States Geologi
cal Survey, department of the interior,
examined and mapped the unsurveyed
areas in that region. There has been
but little productive mining in that
region, and its geology does not en
courage the hope that much placer
gold will be found there, but gold
lodes may yet be discovered at some
places. The region will be made ac
cessible by the government railroad
to the Matanuska, coal field, and its
systematic prospecting for gold placers
or lodes may perhaps be warranted.
A report on the region by Theodore
Chapin, geologist, has just been pub
lished by the United States Geological
Survey as Bulletin 668, under the title,
“The Nelchina • Susitna Region,
Alaska.” The report sketches the
geography and geology of the region
and contains topographic and geologic
maps covering about 10,000 square
miles, as well as half-tone views, and
includes brief notes on the work done
on gold placers.
ALIEN HAS NO RIGHTS
AGAINST CROWN OFFICIAL
DUBLIN, July 3 (by mail)—William
Pedlar, an American citizen, and a
member of the Clan-na-Gael, who
fought in the Easter rebellion, today
sued the chief commissioner of the
police for money taken from him after
arrest on a charge of drilling. The
jury returned a verdict for plaintiff,
but the judge refused judgment, hold
ing that an alien had no rights against
a crown official acting with authority.

NENANA COAL FIELD
CONTAINS GOOD GRADE
OF STEAMING COAL
•
The Nenana coal field, which lies
about two hundred miles north of Cook
inlet, Alaska, and will be reached by
the new government railroad from
Seward, 364 miles distant, has been
examined by G. C. Martin of the Unit
ed States (feological Survey, depart
ment of the interior, whose report on
it has just been published. The field
is about one hundred miles south of
Fairbanks, the inland terminus of the
railroad, and is more accessible to the
gold mines of the Tanana valley than
any other coal field in Alaska.
The coal is a lignite of good grade,
which, when the field is made acces
sible, will be used as locomotive fuel
on the railroad, for generating power,
and for thawing at the gold mines, as
domestic fuel in the region, and as
fuel on steamboats that ply on Tanana
river, and possibly on some of the
boats on the Yukon.
The report gives the classification
of the coal land and non-coal land in
maps showing the areas of coal-bear
the field by sections, contains detailed
ing non-coal-bearing rocks, and gives
detailed statements of the conditions
of mining and transportation.

I “And my

I; outwore Six pairs of his”
»
I He is an old timer—been in Alaska for 21
I \ years—and just back in the States. He
I» was visiting the Goodrich Factory and we
I asked him, of course, if he ever used our
I Goodrich “Hi-Press” Boots and Shoes
I while he was up there, and he said—
I “Say, those are some shoes you people make.
I i Why, I remember one time when my part
V ner and I went over the hills and I wore a
I pair of your Goodrich White Pacs. He
didn’t! And he wore out six pairs before
we got back—I still wore my first pair.”
, There’s the result of making Goodrich
Rubber Footwear the new way,—IN ONE
' SINGLE PIECE—rubber tough as steel—
no leaking, no peeling, no half-soling. And
they’re comfortable—feel like old shoes 1
| before you’ve worn them 24 hours. 1
We make all kinds,—shoes, boots, shorts I
and hip, for mining, fishing, logging, pros- I
pecting, etc. They always have “The Red I*
