The Cordova Chamber of Commerce
recently took up with the United
States Coast and Geodetic Survey
the matter of making a survey and
plat of the mouth of Copper River,
from Whitshed to east to Katalla, in
cluding both the inside and outside of
the bar. Assurances have been re
ceived that this work will be be sort
ed next spring, which will be of
great service to the small craft plying
between Katalla and Prince William
Sound. v
Dr. Jones writes as follows:
“I wish to acknowledge your letter
of October 7th, which has been for
warded to me. The section of the
chart is also acknowledged.
“I note carefully all you say, and I
wish to assure you that the matter
involved will have careful and prompt
attention and you will hear from us
fnrther in the near futur^
“It is too late in the season to do
further work in Alaska this year,
but every effort will be made to
meet your wishes at an early date
The only two large vessels we will
have in Southeastern Alaska next
year will be the Patterson and Ex
-!-■ - T
0'
plorer. Owing to the fact that the
Gedney and McArthur are unsea
worthy, and will not again be placed
in commission. We hope to have tne
new’ ship Surveyor in Alaskan waters
in 1917; in the meantime 1 hope Con
gress will provide funds for two more
vessels, this coming session to replace
the Gedney and Patterson.
"I realize the rightful demand on
the government to expedite the sur
veying of the waters in Alaska; but
we need more and better vesels. and
more officers and men to man them
and funds to operate them.
"1 am thoroughly alive to the situa
tion and my best eflorts will be put
forth in accomplishing what yop all
want and need.
"I will send you a copy of my re
part soon. It should be avafiabl
text month.
“Assuring you of my appreciate
tor writing as you have.”
