lu accordance with plans ap
proved by Secretary of tho Interior
Lane, the investigation of the
iuinei.il resources of Alaska by the
Geulopical Survey will be continued
this year by 12 parties. Congress
has leeoguiized the necessity of
prepariug in advance for the survey
of this difficult field by including
the appropriation for its continua
tion in the urgent deficiency act,
which was approved on February
2S. This prompt action makes, it
possible to plan ttie work in ad
vance of the openin of the field
siaion and to carry out the plans
effecieiitly and economically.
The work to be done this year
includes a detailed survey of the
region tributary to Juneau, which
' is the most important quartz camp
in, Alaska. A continuation of the
| study of the mineral resources of
the Ketchikan district, where there
'are important gold and copper
mines, is also planned. The in
vestigation of the water powers of
southeast era Alaska will also be
continued. Only one> party will be
employed in the Copper River re
gion. Two parties will work in
Pr'nco William Sound.
Four parties will make surveys
iu ihe region directly or indirectly
tributary to the government rail
road under constructin. One of
them will study the new Tolovana
placer district and also make some
supplementary investigation of the
Fairbanks lode district. The geo
logist of this party will later visit
, the Nome district. A detailed geo
j logic survey will be made of the
, western part of the Nenana coal
field, which is adjacent to the
route of the governmont railroad
Two other parties will bo employed
| in carrying reconnaissance surveys
j westward from the railroad foute
j to the Kantishna placer and lode
' district. It is also proposed to
j make surveys of the lower Yukon,
inclu.Ui'g the Marshall placer dis
' trict.
