ALASKA TOPOGRAPHICAL 111
GEOLOGICAL SURVEY PARTIES
The United States Geological sur
vey is dispatching 12 parties to
Alaska to continue the systematic
surveys raid investigations that have
beeu In progress for the last IS
years. Of these parties three will
be sent to Southeastern Alaska, one
into upper Chitiua region, one to
Port Valdez; two will work in the
Turnagaia Arm—Knik region; one
will make investigations in the Yu
kon-Tanana region, aud two in the
Ruov-Koskokwim region, aud an
other will traverse tha little known
area lying between the Ruby district
and the Tanana river. One party
will be engaged in general investi
gations in different part of the ter
ritory.
One of the most Important of
the undertakings is the extension of
the surveys in the Ruby district, on
the Yukon, and in the adjacent re
gions. C. E. Giffin and G. L. Har
ringtoa will undertake the surveys
i:i tiie Ruby district proper, -which
is now an important gold-placer
(ami). R. II. Sargent and J. B.
->iertie will carry surveys southward
to Takotua. on Kuskokwim river. H. |
M. Kakiu will explore the region J
lying between the mouth of Cosna!
river, a tributary of the Tanana,
and the Ruby district These parties
arrived in Skagway Sunday with a
big outfit of supplies and 29 hcfrses.
They le£t yesterday for their fields
of labor. The only other work in
the- Yukon bn&lu is that of Elliot
Ulackwelder, who will make a j;eo
Iogic examination of the "White
-Mountains, southwest cf Circle.
The region lying between Knik
and Turnagain Arm, tributary to the
proposed government railroad, has
!•«?« only partly mapped, and here
in.r!i geologic and topographic sur-i
ii-ys will be undertaken. Tho pre j
Pa rat ion of tho topographic base
map will be undertaken by one
party under the leadership of J. \V. j
I'.agley, and the geology and miuer
J'l resources will be studied by an-;
other party undw S. R. Capps.
It. I.. Johnson will complete his
detailed study of the geology and
miuer;.'l resources of the Port Val
dez district an' will also investi
gate *he mineral resources of other
parts of the Prince William Sound
region.
.Much of the Copper river region
has been surveyed In previous years.
There still remain, however, the up
per Chitina basin, where no geo
logic work has been done. This work
will be undertaken by F. H. Moffit,
Assisted by R. M. Overbeck. I

Wra Cruz, June 4—President
Wilson's note of warning to Gen
eral Carranza and tho other leaders
ot the Mexican military factions,
was published in tha papers in this
city this morning and perused "With
calmness, and apparently without
rancor by the people.
The detailed topographic mapping
adjacent to Juneau, In southeastern
Alaska, begun last year, will he
continued by D. C. Witherspoon. Th
base map of this important gold
Imie district is essential to an ex
hausts© study of the district which
will be undertaken next year.
The miueral resources of the
Ketchikan district have been undoi
Investigation at different time*, in
the last 15 years, and the results
embodied in reports. Detailed sur
veys of the two most important cop
per-bearing areas of the Ketchikan
district have been made. Much of
the district has been geologically
mapped, but the work is still far
from being complete, and the in
vestigation of the geology and
mineral resources in this field is
to be extended by Theodore Chapin.
The marked Industrial advance
meat in southeastern Alaska h^s
created a great demand for informa
tion about the available water pow
ers, which George H. Canfield has
been detailed to investigate. He
will carry on s'-reozn ganging in co
operation with the forest service.
The hot springs of Alaska are
of importance, as many are used
as local sanitariums. As no In
formation about them is available,
they are to be investigated this
summer by G. A. Waring, who will
visit the hot springs of Ketchikan
and Sitka, In southeastern Alaska;
one near Circle and the Bilker and
Chena hot springs, in the Tanana
valley; and one in Seward Penin
sula, about 60 miles nortn of Nome.
Alfred H. Brooks, geologist in
charge of the survey's Alaska in
vestigations, will bo engaged in of
fice work until about the end of
June. He will then leave for Alas
ka, and his work will probably in
clude investigations In the Iditarod,
Fairbanks, and Valdez districts.

HONORING THE
FATHER OF LLKSj
There was a large assemblage at j
the meeting last night of Skagway ]
Lodge No. 431, B. P. O. E., to do |
honor to Past Exalted Ruler Prank
f. Keelar, the "Father of Skagway
Elks," and tne organizer of the j
lodge here, among them being a
number of sojourning brethren. i
The program had been carefully
arranged previous to the hour of
opening and when the brother to
whom it was intended to do honor
made his appearance the rules wer?
suspen '«d and he was unanimously
chosen to fill the chair of the pre
siding officer during the session,
with full powers delegated to him
to place in all the offices members
oX hie own choosing, which he
forwith proceeded to do as follows,
aJl of his appointees with the ex
ception of one, being past exalted
rulers, and this also would have
been occupied by a past exalted rul
er had not G. G. Miller, who had
been named for the position, been
unavoidably absent.

Past Exalted Ruler Keelar gave
a most Interesting talk, but owing
to a desire on the part of many of i
those present to attend the perform-1
ance of the Juvenile Bostonians,
there were no responses, it being
unanimously decided that the cur
tailment cf expressions of regard
for the honor guest by the mem
bers of the local organization would
strike a discordant note in the pro
ceedings. In order to round out the
event to a fitting and harmonious
ending it was decided to hold an
open social session on tomorrow
night, further notice of which will
appear in our issue of that date.
