GEOLOGICAL SURVEY ISSUES
INTERESTING BOOKLET
The U. S. geological survey issues
the following bulletin, which may be
of interest to some people:
Gravlna Island, a small island in
southeastern Alaska, has recently
been examined geologically by Phil
ip S. Smith, of the United States geo
logical survey, whose report has Just
been published as Professional Pa
per 95-H. Thirteen different kinds
of rocks are described, all of them
millions of years old, and although
the discussion and the conclusions
concerning them are technical, they
have distinct commercial value when
later research has determined the age
or period in which the mineral de
posits in this region were formed. It
will then be possible, by means of
studies such as those on Gravlna Is
land, to point out the rocks whi4i
are too new to have been in existence
at the time of the formation of the
ore which therefore form areas in
which prospecting will be unproduc
tive of results.

TELEGRAPH STATION AT HOGAN
DESTROYED BY FIRE.
The military telegraph station at
Hogan's, on the Cbitina-Fairbank*
road, was destroyed by fire recently,
and Private Fay Boardman. the oper
ator, and John J. Morgan, a member
of the Fourteenth Infantry, had a nar
row escape from being burned to
death. They saved some of the in
struments and had fixed up temporary
quarters In a cache which was saved
from the flames. The men lost all
their personal belongings, but state
i that sufficient provisions were kept
in the cache to last until supplies can
| reach them from other stations.
Hogan station is one of the oldest
on the line, having been built more
than ten years ago. It is about six
hundred yards distant from the sum
mer road and four hundred yards from
the winter trail.
GATEWAY SAYS NOME MAIL MAY
GO VIA SEWARD.
It is stated on very good authority
that the postal department has decid
ed to test the trail between Seward
and Kaltag with a view to carrying
the winter mails to Sew’ard peninsula
over the route now followed from
Idltarod. The change of route has
often been spoken of, and it is well
known that the route by 8eward is
shorter by hundreds of miles, but now
it is stated Colonel Revell may soon
make the trip to Kaltag to investigate
conditions.—Gateway.

The Washington correspondent of
the Seattle Times had an interview
with Secretary Lane in reference to j
his plans for railroad construction In
Alnska. who declares that access to
the coal fields is the first thing sought
and also that Fairbanks is sure of be
ing the interior terminus. He said:
"We have already begun the recon
struction of the Alaska Northern road,
which we bought from the owners, and \
will extend that line up to the Mata- j
nuska coal fields. Part of the line is i
now in operation and grading has :
been extended practically up to the
Matanuska river. We have gone
ahead so rapidly on this work that
It will be necessary to ask Congress j
for a deficiency appropriation to be
come available to prosecute construc
tion work during the remainder of
the fiscal year ending June 30 next.
"Grading and construction of the.
line from the coal fields to Anchorage
also is being rushed. In order that J
we may have a short haul from the
coal fields to tidew’ater beyond the
Matanuska fields, we will push con
struction through the 8usitna valley
to Tanana river. We want also to;
reach the Nenana coal field, and j
therefore estimates for next year in
cluded an apportionment of $225,000
for construction of the line from the
river southward to that field,
Fairbanks Situation.
"As to the Fairbanks situation, the
citizens of that town have been urging
us to begin construction southward
from there, and when Chief Engineer
Edes reaches Washington we will j
have a conference to see whether any- j
thing can be done to gratify the wish- j
es of persons living at the northern j
terminus of the road. I can say one j
thing. That is. the road is to be con- j
strueted to Fairbanks. Those inter- j
ested may be sure of that. Mention j
has been made in newspapers of Se- i
attle and other places that the road
will not reach Fairbanks for three
years. It is possible that there will
not be a through line to Fairbanks
before that time, but we will keep on 5
working as fast on the construction \
as the money available will permit.
"Our chief aim has been to get to
the coal fields and other work will
follow as fast as possible. But rail
roads are not built in a day, week,
month or year. The road as projected
is to be 150 miles long, and It takes
time to build one of that length. The
people of Alaska roust realize that,:
and be patient."
"How about the situation at An
*
chorage?” the secretary was asked.1
"The trouble there was that there i
were no steam tugs available,” an
swered the secretary.
Difficulty at Anchorage.
"As soon as I saw the report that \
ships could not get up to town, I tele- |
graphed for information and was told
that gasoline launches or tugs could
not get in because of strong currents.
The result was that one ship turned
back. That's all there is to that."
Secretary Lane also was asked
about the failure to submit an esti
mate of the appropriation for continu
ing mineral surveys in Alaska next
year.
“We are going to ask Congress for
money for that shortly.” he said. "In
order that we may have the full sea
son for work, we get money before
the beginning of the fiscal year July
1, and we will ask for an appropria
tion to be made immediately avail
able."
Secretary Lane said also that regu
lations for coal land leases have been
prepared, but he is waiting the return
of the geological survey parties from
Alaska for further consultation before
issuing them.
