Badly crippled by the precipitate
Secline in appropriations, the Alaska
branch of the Geological Survey is
^carrying on as best it can.
For the .fiscal year 1932 the branch :
(received $86,000, which represented a \
large decrease. But that was nothing 1
to what lay aahead. The 1932 appro-;
priation was $60,000, and only $30,000
tvas made* avaiable for the fiscal year
.which began last Saturday.
Dr. Philip C. Smith, chief of the
branch, said yesterday that work will
he carried on as efficiently as possible
under the "greatly curtailedappropria
'tion.
Dr, J. B. .Mertie has set. out for
Jtifby, the Kuskokwim and the Idiia
rod. He will have no assistance and
will have to .carry his own supplies.
R. H. Sargent will continue topo
graphic mapping at the north end .of
Prince of Wales Island and in the vi
cinity of Wrangell .Narrows. His
means of travel will be a dory, as
there is not even enough money avail
able to hire a launch.
B. R. >Capps has .been emporarijy
assigned to the Alaska Railroad and
will be carried on the railroad rolls.
-He will be associated with Dr. Ralph
Tuck in field work which will consist
principally in extending the survey
of the Willow Creek area into the j
Talkeetna mountains.
Gerald Fitzgerald, topographer, is]
with the navy expedition which is,
surveying harbors and landing fields
in the Aleutian Islands. He left in
March and will not return until late
in the season.
Dr. Smith himself hopes to leave
Washington for Aasha in the next
£aw days. He has been remaining ir.
the expectation that funds would be
.i.ade available from the public works
act, and is still hopeful that addi
tional money will be obtained from
that source.
He is an.ious to have conferences
w.th Governor John W. Troy and
General Manager O. F. Ohlson of the
Alaska Railroad and take in as many
mining .districts as passible so as to'
keep in touch with mining develop
ments and formulate plans for future
] work in the Territory. J
F. H. Moflit, another geologist, will
] remain in the Washington office all
! summer. He will have Charge of the
office, and is preparing a comprehen
sive analysis of all geological investi-,
gations carried on the .Chitina re
gion of the Copper River basin for
the past 30 years' -with the view of
correlating them and bringing out an
l up-to-date statement regarding that
region.

just about in half.
