GEOLOGISTS IN FAR NORTH FIELD PARTIES AT WORK IN ALASKA Investigations Conducted by Government Survyeors—Report to be made on Gold, Copper and Coal Fields All the Alaskan field parties of the Geological Survey are now at work or on their way to the interior. The surveys and investigations of 1909 include fourteen parties, which are widely distributed over Alaska. These parties comprise twelve geologists, seven topographers, and three engineers. Two parties will be at work in southeastern Alaska, one in the Copper River region, two in the Matanuska coal region, one in the eastern part of the Kenai Peninsula, two in the Iliamna Lake region, two in the Yukon-Tanana region, one in the Koyukuk and Chandalar districts, one in the Norton Bay region, and one in Seward Peninsula. These surveys and investigations are carried on under the direction of Alfred H. Brooks, who will leave Seattle for Cordova on the first of July. From Cordova he will proceed up Copper River and make a brief visit to the Nizina district. Circumstances permitting, he will then go by overland trail to Fairbanks, and later will pay a visit to the Berners Bay and Eagle River districts, in southeastern Alaska. Southeastern Alaska General reconnaissance work of the mining districts of southeastern Alaska having been completed, the present investigations include more detailed surveys. Adolph Knopf, geologist, began work in the Berners Bay region on May 19, studying the geology and ore deposits in detail. On The party landed at Iliamna Bay on May 14 and according to the last report received had encountered deep snows, but it is expected that they were able to begin their westward march about the first of June. F. J. Katz will assist in the geologic work and C. E. Giffin in the topographic survey. Besides these there will be seven other men. Canoes will be used on the lakes and horses in land travel. Yukon Region The extensive area lying between the Yukon and Tanana has been the subject of investigation for several years. A reconnaissance map of this area is now completed, and much of the geologic work has also been done, but a considerable tract still remains to be covered. This work is being continued by L. M. Prindle, assisted by B. L. Johnson. The party will land at Circle about the middle of July and go south-westward, reaching Fairbanks about the first of August. Then a trip will be made to the region southeast of Fairbanks, and later in the year the work will be extended into the area northwest of Fairbanks. The investigation of the surface water supply needed for placer mining in this field was begun in 1907, and as it is necessary to obtain records of stream flow for a number of years before any generalizations can be made as to the run-off, these investigations have been continued this year. C. E. Ellsworth, who was detailed to this work, reached Fairbanks over the trail about the first of April and has since been engaged in stream measurements in the Fairbanks, Baker, and Rampart districts. The first survey of the Chandalar and Koyukuk districts was made in 1899 by F. C. Schrader and T. G. Gerdine. This was the summer in which gold was discovered in this field. Since that time the Yukon Region is extensively explored city is widely excavated of more than 174,000 meters, which was piled night when six men overpowered thur, took away all the gates to reservoir Spring City Colorado Springs.

Retained one-fifth of supply of Colorado will be impossible than one-fourth of though there is cooled on the watershed drains. For a long time has been fighting Southeastern Alaska General reconnaissance work of the mining districts of southeastern Alaska having been completed, the present investigations include more detailed surveys. Adolph Knopf, geologist, began work in the Berners Bay region on May 19, studying the geology and ore deposits in detail. On the completion of this work he will start to Eagle River and will there begin work on a similar investigation. J. W. Bagley, with one assistant, is making a detailed topographic survey of the Eagle River mining district. Conditions permitting, he will extend his work southward to connect with previously surveyed areas near Juneau. Copper River Region At the close of last year the general investigation of the two copper belts of the Copper River region was completed, and it now remains to make a more detailed study of the regions of present greatest economic importance. The area first to be investigated lies at the east end of the Chitina-Kotsina belt. This field not only affords the best exposures but is also the region where greatest depth has been reached in developing the ore bodies; hence it will yield more facts than other parts of the district and was therefore chosen for first investigation. It is hoped that it will be possible later to map in detail the other important parts of the copper belt. Meanwhile it is expected that the work in this field will throw important light on the occurrence of copper ores throughout the region. F. H. Moffitt and S. R. Capps, who are to do this work, reached Valdez June 1 and reported a heavy fall of snow in the pass, which delayed them They are now on their way to the interior. Kenai Peninsula U. S. Grant and D. F. Higgins sailed from Seattle on June 8 for Seward, where they will begin a reconnaissance of the eastern part of Kenai Peninsula. Much prospecting has been done in this field during the last few years, and it is expected that Mr. Grant's investigations will be of value to the prospectors. He will use a large launch for traveling, as the work will continue this year. C. E. Ellsworth, who was detailed to this work, reached Fairbanks over the trail about the first of April and has since been engaged in stream measurements in the Fairbanks, Baker, and Rampart districts. The first survey of the Chandalar and Koyukuk districts was made in 1899 by F. C. Schrader and T. G. Gerdine. This was the summer in which gold was discovered in this field. Since that time the Koyukuk district has been a continued producer in a small way, but in 1907 more valuable placers were found there and some workable placers were found in the Chandalar district. This fact led to a demand for further work in this field, which is being carried on by A. G. Maddren. Mr. Maddren will reach the Chandalar district in the early part of July and later will make his way overland to the Koyukuk district. He has one man with him and uses horses for carrying his supplies and equipment. STATE AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL New Buildings Erected for Accommodation of Students The School of Agriculture, on the University Farm at Davis, is to have a dining-hall for the next school year. The contract has been let to Book Brothers of Sacramento, and calls for the completion of the work in 120 days. The new building will be shingled, to correspond in exterior finish with the other structures on the Farm. It will have a dining-room large enough to accommodate 125,and a kitchen adequate to all demands upon it. Over the dining-room will be several sleeping rooms. The new dormitory has been in use during the past term of the School of Agriculture; but the necessity for students to find board in the village was a serious inconvenience. Now that both board and room are provided on the Farm, the equipment for comfort is complete. Several other buildings will be erected on the Farm during the summer and fall. One of the largest will accommodate the work in Horticulture. This building will have a large assembly room, and greenhouses will be built in connection with it. The Veterinary clinic, together with the barns, will complete the equipment necessary to good investigations have been continued this year. C. E. Ellsworth,who was detailed to this work, reached Fairbanks over the trail about the first of April and has since been engaged in stream measurements in the Fairbanks, Baker, and Rampart districts. The first survey of the Chandalar and Koyukuk districts was made in 1899 by F. C. Schrader and T. G. Gerdine. This was the summer in which gold was discovered in this field. Since that time the Koyukuk district has been a continued producer in a small way, but in 1907 more valuable placers were found there and some workable placers were found in the Chandalar district. This fact led to a demand for further work in this field, which is being carried on by A. G. Maddren. Mr. Maddren will reach the Chandalar district in the early part of July and later will make his way overland to the Koyukuk district. He has one man with him and uses horses for carrying his supplies and equipment.

Beets will be re-season from Buenozer at the rate of Kenai Peninsula U. S. Grant and D. F. Higgins sailed from Seattle on June 8 for Seward, where they will begin a reconnaissance of the eastern part of Kenai Peninsula. Much prospecting has been done in this field during the last few years, and it is expected that Mr. Grant's investigations will be of value to the prospectors. He will use a large launch for traveling, as the work will necessitate passing many headlands that are open to the full sweep of the Pacific. It is expected that Mr. Grant will be able to complete the preliminary examination of the entire southeastern and southern coast line of the Kenai Peninsula. Time permitting, he may also begin work on Kodiak Island. Matanuska Coal Field The policy of mapping the Alaskan coal fields in detail will be continued in the Matanuska field this season. R. H. Sargent, with one assistant and six men, began work about the middle of June. This force will be divided into two parties. Mr. Sargent's task will be to make a detailed topographic map of the most important part of the Matanuska coal field, which will serve as a base map for detailed geologic investigations during 1910. Iliamna Lake Region West of Cook Inlet is a large unsurveyed tract in which, it is reported, there have been discoveries of copper lode deposits and placer gold. In accordance with the policy of covering new fields as rapidly as possible, the Geological Survey this year dispatched a double party to begin the survey of this extensive area. This party is in charge of D. C. Witherspoon, topographer, with whom is associated G. C. Martin, geologist. Several other buildings will be erected on the Farm during the summer and fall. One of the largest will accommodate the work in Horticulture. This building will have a large assembly room, and greenhouses will be built in connection with it. The Veterinary clinic, together with the barns, will complete the equipment necessary to good work in all departments. A new circular of the School has recently been issued, and may be obtained by writing to the Principal of the School of Agriculture for Circular 43. PRE-COOLING SUCCESS Newcastle, June 26.—The first carload of fruit loaded from the recently established pre-cooling plant here has reached its destination at Minneapolis and arrived in prime condition. Thus the pre-cooling process has proved itself a great success. This car was shipped from Newcastle, on June 17th. It was iced fully before leaving, and was carried to Minneapolis without re-icing. The company sent an experienced man along with the car to examine the fruit and take temperature at different points along the road. The temperature of the inside of the car when leaving Newcastle was 42 deg. At Carlin the temperature was 46, at Evanston 44. At North Platte, Neb., about thirty-six hours' run from Minneapolis, the ice tanks were half full of ice, and the temperature was 48 deg. The fruit in this car was shipped at the same stage of ripeness as other cars, with the exception of thirty crates of apricots, which were dead ripe upon leaving here.

EXCITED COLORADO CITY Reservoir Gates Opened and Water Escapes Colorado Springs, June 23.—This city is widely excited over the theft of more than 174,000,000 gallons of water, which was perpetrated late last night when six masked and armed men overpowered Caretaker R. M. Arthur, took away his keys and opened the gates to reservoir No. 8, allowing the water to flow down Beaver creek and from there into a lake owned by the town of Victor. This is the third time that Colorado Springs has been robbed of its water supply and the citizens are wrought up to a high pitch. It is believed that blood-shed is imminent between a posse of ten, headed by Sheriff Birdsall, which is now scouring the vicinity in search of the thieves. Shortly after midnight the six men appeared at the door of Arthur's cabin. Leveling their weapons at his head, they compelled him to deliver up his keys, and then, while some went outside and opened the gates, others bound him securely. It was not until the big lake was practically empty that the men left and it was several hours afterward that Arthur was able to release himself and telephone to this city. Mayor Spurgeon at once dispatched armed men to the scene and Sheriff Birdsall headed the posse. Victor has been short of water, while Colorado Springs has had an ample supply. Reservoir No. 8 contained one-fifth of the total water supply of Colorado Springs and it will be impossible to replace more than one-fourth of the water stolen, though there is considerable snow left on the watershed which the reservoir drains. For a long time the city of Victor has been fighting Colorado Springs. TO LAUNCH NEW PARTY Minneapolis, Minn., June 17.—What aims to be an “insurgent” movement in Minnesota politics, in a plan to amalgamate republicans and democrats who are dissatisfied with the present order of things, has been inaugurated. The nucleus of the organization will be the La Follette and Bryan organizations in Minnesota, the Minnesota Shippers and Receivers’ Association, the Minnesota Citizens’ League and the Saturday Lunch Club of Minneapolis. The first announcement of the proposed organization will be made at Ada, Minnesota, on June 17th, when James A. Peterson of Minneapolis will open the campaign. Following the opening speech of the new movement at Ada by Mr. Peterson, a representative convention will be called to meet in Minneapolis, at which time a tentative organization will be formed. The eventual plan is to put a complete ticket in the field, with a candidate for governor and all other offices. The organization is the outcome of the sympathetic working of the Bryan and La Follette men in Minnesota. It has been presented that friends of both represent the same idea in politics, and now that Mr. Bryan has entered the race for senator in Nebraska the Bryan men feel a willingness to enter into an independent movement which will, so far as they are concerned, be aimed directly against continuance of John A. Johnson in power as the head of the democratic organization and as possible candidate for president. The “independents” maintain that the time for a new party is now ripe. They say the present progress will REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS Stella Fisher to City of Anaheim—Strip for alley in Building Lot 26, Anaheim. D D Wright to John Resh—N½ of sw¼ of ne¼, sec 1, t4s, r11; $10.

Victor has been short of water, while Colorado Springs has had an ample supply. Reservoir No. 8 contained one-fifth of the total water supply of Colorado Springs and it will be impossible to replace more than one-fourth of the water stolen, though there is considerable snow left on the watershed which the reservoir drains. For a long time the city of Victor has been fighting Colorado Springs over the watershed drained by Reservoir No. 8, claiming to have water rights in Beaver Creek, which is the natural drain of the watershed. LOS ALAMITOS The continued cool weather is favorable for making beet tonnage and a bumper crop is assured. In anticipation of this the sugar factory is being put into apple-pie order and modern machinery has replaced the old, bringing everything relating to the process of manufacture up-to-date. Two new 12-inch artesian wells making a total number of eight will insure an ample supply of water for all purposes. Manager Walter M. Clark's new house is receiving the finishing touches and additions are being made to the machine shop and office. With the exception of hoeing the work of cultivation is practically over and a large acreage is receiving water from artesian wells, many of which are connecting to pumping plants, and the water to the fields. The Allen ranch at Buena Park has just bought a half mile of 8 inch pipe to cover the 400 acre tract of beets. The Montana Land Company has three large pumping plants running water day and night onto the big 1700 acre field in beets. Contracts are being made already for beet tapping to begin in the near future, and Superintendent Lawrence is booking applications for positions in the factory, giving preference as usual to men who have worked there in former years. Carloads of lime rock from River-side, coke from Georgia and sugar-bags from Manilla are arriving daily and many carloads of sugar beet pulp and molasses are being shipped. Beets will be received by rail this season from Buena Park and Smeltzer at the rate of six carloads daily. Alfonso Salazar, a Mexican boy who has been chased all over Southern California by Sheriff Lacy's officers, was captured one day last week in Los Angeles by officers of that city. On October 24th last the Mexican boy shot William Teran, a man who was living with the boy's mother, in the back, after a quarrel over money, which the lad claimed was owing him for wages. After the shooting the boy disappeared and was not again heard of until captured by the officers in Los Angeles. He appeared before Judge Smithwick and the proceedings in the case were suspended and the boy certified to appear in the Juvenile Court.
