which wire drag operations must be
conducted to determine what hidden
obstructions there are to shipping, 8
and 1-2 per cent of the area has been
completed.
Of the total water area, SO per cent
must be swept by wire drags. One
uncharted pinnacle found was 650 feci
high, or, feet higher than the Wash
ington monument, and its tip was cov
eted by 17 feet of water.
At the rate work is progressing with
funds and equipment available, it
would require fifty years to finish the
task.
Marine annals show that 512 ves
sels have been lost, other than those
operating in the whaling fleet in the
far north, representing a value of
$16,000,000, and 625 persons were car
ried down.
These are some of the salient points
of an illustrated talk on survey work
in Alaskan waters, given recently in
Portland to marine and commercial
men by Dr. K. tester Jones, superin
tendent of the United States coast and
geodetic survey. I>r. Jones was there
from Washington to get in touch with
his crews he has in the field, also to
meet with men who know certain con
ditions in the Northwest waterways
that may be subjects of special men
tion in surveys.
Numerous slides he exhibited
were made from maps of Alaska and
its coast, also of wire drag operations,
besides which a moving picture talk
was included, showing the drags ac
tually being set. how they were towed
by large launches, the methods em
ployed in charting rocks extending
above certain depths and many other
features.
In one set Ur. Jones illustrated how
mistakes were made when survey*
had been conducted only by mean*
of ordinary soundings with lead lines
One enst would reach the bottom. h<

strike the side of a rock and bounef

the latter would be recorded as th<
true depth, while in many cases rockf
would be missed, only to be struck bj
it ship. I H
lie said the principal result had |*
lieen to name numerous rocks on the j
Alaskan roast after ships that had | ar
struck them and sank. l>r. Jones did j
, 1 ,0
not complain of appropriations made I
!
by the government, saying that con* *
gresg had taken care of the depart- i
ment on that score, but he said that ;
in order to carry on wire drag opera [
lions, which were needed as well in j
certain waters along the coast of j
Washington, (ipegon and California, J
much more money would have to ho
provided.
