! GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
BEGINS 26TH YEAR
CF WORK IN ALASKA
The Department of the Interior an
nounces today that the Geological
Survey has begun its 26th successive
year of investigation of the mineral
resources of Alaska.
During this time it has mapapd the
topography and geology of over one
third of Alaska’s total area of 586,400
square miles. It has investigated in
' at least a preliminary way every pro
ducing mining district in Alaska, and
has mapped many of these in detail.
Since 1005 it has annually collected
and published statistics of mineral
j production of the Territory . The re
I suits of this Alaska work are publish
ed in 380 different reports and over
400 maps, which throw much light on
the resources including water supply,
as well as the topography and geology
of Alaska.
In 1024 a detailed topographical
; survey is being made of the Hyder
, district ftf southeastern Alu.-ka, by R.
[ M. Wilson, topographical engineer,
j A. F. Buddington, geologist, is con
j tinuing his investigation of the geol
I ogy of southeastern Alaska. This
j year he will investigate parts of the
| Ketchikan, Wrangell-and Juneau dis
tricts. F. H. Moffit is studying the
: geology and copper resources of
: Prince William Sound, while S. R.
Capps, assisted by Kenneth Landes
is making a supplementary examina
tion of the Matanuska coal fields.
Special attention has been given
since 1921 to petroleum on the Alaska
Peninsula. This year W. R. Smith,
geologist .assisted by Ernest Roschen,
is continuing this work in the Cold
Bay oil field.
j There has long been a hiatus be
tween the mapped area of Mt. Mc
Kinley region and of the Iditarod-Kus
kokwim region. In 1924 R. H. Sargent
j typographical engineer, will in part
; fill up this gap by carrying a survey
| from McGrath to the gold district at
i the head of Nixon Fork of the Kus
! kokwim and to Lake Minchumina. He
! is accompanied by John Brown, geo
logist.
Tlfe Survey began its investigation
! of Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 4 in
: 1923, and this work is being continued
: this year. An expedition led by P.
S. Smith, accompanied by J. B. Mertie,
geologist, R. K. Lynt and Gerald Fitz
| Gerald, topographic engineers, reach
ed the headwaters of the Colville in
: March and will continue to the Arctic
| Ocean, to be reached late in August.
In July William T. Foran, geologist
and O. Lee Wix, engineer, went into
the Artie from Nome to supplement
the surveys of the Smith expedition.
This exploration of Arctic Alaska will
' not only give important information
j about petroleum, but will explore a
hitherto unknown region.
Alfred H. Brooks, Chief Alaskan
Geologist, will join the Buddington
party at Wrangell on August first,
{ and later will visit the Moffit party !
I on Prince William Sound and the 1
Capps party in Matanuska coal field.
