120L0GICAL SURVEY MAKES
NEW MAP CENTRAL ALASKA.
In central Alaska south of the Yu
con river there is a large area which
i>rior to 1915 was practically unknown.
In the summer of 1915 a small United
States geological survey parly in
harge of H. M. Eakin, made a rapid i
exploration from Tanana river at Cos ;
na to the headwaters of Nowitna river 1
vnd thence down the Nowitna to the
Yukon. A preliminary statement of
the important geologic and topograph
observations made on that expedition
has recently' been published by the
United States geological survey de
partment of the interior, as part of
Bulletin G42, entitled "Exploration in
the Uosna-Nowitna Region.”
Much time has been spent by a few
prospectors in a search for placer gold
on Nowitna river, but so rnr as is
known the occurrence of commercial
.
placers in that region has not been
demonstrated. In much of the region j
prospecting is beset with considerable
difficulty, owing to the great depth j
and breadth of the alluvial filling in li
Ihe larger valleys. Although no lodes
have yet been discovered the evi ti
denee available seems to suggest that
Ihe gold In the bed rock was probably t
introduced as a result of the igneo is | i
e tivities that produced the monzon ;i
Ites and granites, so that gold Is mos* <:
likely to be found near these mini i
eve masses. The map accompanying I c
this report indicates the distribution *
>f these intrusive rocks as well as of I
it her geologic formations.

GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL SAYS
CORDOVA IS PROSPEROUS.
Collectors of Customs ,T. F. Pugh,
who recently made a tour of the terri- 1
lory, had a kind word for Cordova
upon hi:- return to Juneau, in an in- (
IcrvietV covering his trip he is quoted c
in the Umpire as follows: 1
“Cordova is especially prosperous I
and is shipping more to the outside j *
than any town in Alaska. The copper |
ore from the Kennecott mines, the
salmon from the canneries, two of i
which are located on the dock in
the city, and the canned clams from ^
a new cannery, keep the steamers
ustling to clear the docks.
"The hotels are full and I had a 5
ard time to secure a room.
"Hotels, restaurants and business
ouses ail over the territory are do
ig a good business. New buildings
re going up everywhere and every
ne has money. I didn't hear a single
inn talk about hard times during my
ntire trip.”
