The drainage basin tributary to Cook Inlet is cut off from the Yukon and the Kuskokwim waters on the north and west by a chain of rugged mountains and known as the Alaska range, at the heart of which towers majestic Mt. McKinley; the highest peak of North America, and its sister peak Mount Foraker. Previous to 1902 this region constituted a great block of unknown territory. When in 1898 the United States geological survey began its task of exploring, surveying, and studying the mineral resources of Alaska, the first work was of necessity merely exploratory, for until the larger features of drainage and relief had been discovered possible. Starting from Tyonek on Cook Inlet on June 2 the party struck inland. "Although the Indians and traders agreed," says Mr. Brooks, "that with good luck we might be able to get across the Alaska range, no one believed it possible that we could extend our work to the Tanana, much less to the Yukon. It was the general expectation that the party would return to Cook Inlet in the fall. This might have discouraged us had we not known that few of the longer explorations of the geological survey in Alaska had been regarded as practicable by traders who were most familiar with the locality." Mr. Brooks describes a series of marches, with topographic and geologic work en route, weary days of trail chopping through dense thickets, and experiences with swollen rivers which taxed the ingenuity and hardihood of the members of the party to the utmost to get themselves and their pack animals across. Moose, wild sheep, and other game occasionally fell to the rifles of the men and served as most welcome changes in Brooks and Mr. P in the report.

McKinley; the highest peak of North America, and its sister peak Mount Foraker. Previous to 1902 this region constituted a great block of unknown territory. When in 1898 the United States geological survey began its task of exploring, surveying, and studying the mineral resources of Alaska, the first work was of necessity merely exploratory, for until the larger features of drainage and relief had been outlined it was impossible to plan topographic and geologic surveys. The demand of the prospector was for maps and information to guide him in hazardous journeys. From 1898 to 1902, therefore, the Alaskan work of the survey was largely a series of reconnaissances, covering wide areas and outlining the larger physiographic features—a skeleton to be gradually filled in by detailed mapping. But the Mount McKinley region remained untouched. Plans for its survey had been considered as early as 1899, but it was not possible to put them into effect until 1902. "The Mount McKinley Region of Alaska", describes this work of early exploration of a vast tract of territory absolutely unknown and incomparably wild. The report is a large volume describing the geologic, geographic, and mineral resources of the region, but Mr. Brooks's brief description of the trip itself is a tale of real adventure. In 105 days the party, consisting of 7 men, penetrated 800 miles of an unknown wilderness with almost impassable swamps, unfordable rivers, and lofty snow-covered mountains. These men depended very largely on their guns for provender but finally accomplished their purpose of striking through the Alaska range and coming out into the interior Yukon valley, a feat which was looked upon by the natives as impos- Mr. Brooks describes a series of marches, with topographic and geologic work en route, weary days of trail chopping through dense thickets, and experiences with swollen rivers which taxed the ingenuity and hardihood of the members of the party to the utmost to get themselves and their pack animals across. Moose, wild sheep, and other game occasionally fell to the rifles of the men and served as most welcome changes in diet. Finally, Mount McKinley and Mt. Foraker, which in clear weather had been vileible for most of the time, loomed large and majestic and on August 4 camp was made only 14 miles in an air line from the summit of Mount McKinley. "Here," Mr. Brooks says, "a day's delay permitted the writer to climb a spur of the mountain to snow line and to obtain some clue to its geologic structure; but satisfaction at standing on its slope 9 miles from the summit, which had never before been approached by white men, could not but be tinged with regret that there was neither time nor means for reaching a higher altitude." The position of Mount McKinley was accurately determined, as also its altitude, 20,300 feet. Mount Foraker, some 15 miles to the south, of Mount McKinley, was also located, and its altitude of 17,000 feet determined. These observations were all made from a number of other peaks varying in height from 8000 to 11,000 feet. The actual surveys of the trip covered about 6000 square miles, but the information obtained and the correlation established between previous surveys threw additional light on the geography and topography of about 20,000 square miles. A large amount of geologic work was also accomplished, which is described by Mr. Severity of Past Tense According to an Breeder and Sporer few straggling bands of the California coast covered the Sierra mantle than they had and made the problem for wild stock a many years big dyes have roamed Modoc forest reserve merical strength by ded stock of breeds nomadic existence tempts on the parachers to capture or Their encroachment range of the up-stream came so annoying few years ago the riders built a giant cove forest and made mutilations attempts to traverse in it.

McKinley, August 24 was marked by an encounter with a white man and a band of Indians, "the first human beings we hand seen in nearly three months," and a few days later the party emerged from the forest on the south bank of the Tanana at the small native settlement of Tortella, or Nenana. "To the natives the arrival of white men from the mountains seemed little short of miraculous." The great hazards of the trip had now been overcome, yet the record states that in covering an ensuing 30 miles the difficulties of travel occupied the energies of the entire party for eight days, as streams had to be bridged, forded, and rafted, and even corduroy trails built. Within six days five different bridges were constructed and six rivers were rafted. WILD HORSES OF MODOC Severity of Past Winter Kills Many of Them best of winter conditions, practically exterminated the Modoc broncos. Assistant Forester J. H. Hatton, who has just returned to the government offices, after a two months' visit to the Klamath, Shasta, and Modoc forests, reports that more than 300 wild horses either died or were captured in an enfeebled condition on the Modoc range at the end of the winter. In all probability the total number of the dead greatly exceeds this report, as there has been no definite effort to count the carcasses that dot the ranges. The wild horses of the Modoc were the last survivors of their spies in California, all of the other ranges having been ridden of them. According to Mr. Hatton, the unusually severe winter has been followed by an exceptionally good grass season, and he declares that the ranges are in better grazing condition than they have been for years. Stock-raisers in consequence, are looking forward to a prosperous season. Mr. Hatton says the winter broke up just in time to avert a heavy loss of stock. Morris, Camp and Cass, embracing an area of 6000 square miles. The report discusses the different rock strata of the area and states the approximate depths at which the water bearing formations may be found at different points, as also the quality of the waters that may be encountered. Many wells are described, ranging from those only a few feet in depth to very deep ones of 1900 or 2000 feet. The report may be obtained on application to the Director, United States Geological Survey, Washington, D. C.

They had visited many points in the upper valley, and came to Anaheim to see what our people desired in way o' better train service, as well as to secure better business for the road. WILD HORSES OF MODOC Severity of Past Winter Kills Many of Them According to an account in the Breeder and Sportsman, all save a few straggling bands of wild horses of the California mountains perished in the snows of the past winter, which covered the Sierras with a thicker mantle than they have worn for years and made the problem of subsistence for wild stock a hopeless one. For many years big droves of wild horses have roamed the ranges of the Modoc forest reserve and gaining numerical strength by enticing the branded stock of breeders to join their nomadic existence and defying all attempts on the part of aggrieved ranchers to capture or destroy them. Their encroachments upon the stock range of the up-state cattlemen became so annoying and costly that a few years ago the government foresters built a giant corral in the Modoc forest and made more or less successful attempts to trap the outlaw horses in it. A few of the animals were captured in this way, but they were a wary tribe, and their depredations continued despite the interference of Uncle Sam. Wild as deer, fleeter and more alert, they were usually seen by human eyes for an instant only disappearing like shadows into the fastnesses of the range. But nature, more powerful than governments or human forces, suddenly and unexpectedly allied herself with Uncle Sam, and by cutting off the supply of the range food, meager enough under their spicies in California, all of the other ranges having been ridden of them. According to Mr. Hatton, the unusually severe winter has been followed by an exceptionally good grass season, and he declares that the ranges are in better grazing condition than they have been for years. Stock-raisers in consequence, are looking forward to a prosperous season. Mr. Hatton says the winter broke up just in time to avert a heavy loss of stock. Had the snows continued for another week, he says that the range cattle and sheep would have died by the thousands, the supply of food having been completely exhausted. Many of the stockmen, he reports, carried hay into the ranges at a cost of $18 per ton. WATER RESOURCES OF NORTH-EASTERN TEXAS In discussing the chances of striking water at any particular depth below the surface the geologist can make the most trustworthy predictions. All underground water derived from rainfall finds its way into rocks, rock crevices, sands, etc., and although some coarse formations, such as sand or certain sandstones, are capable of retaining and transmitting large quantities, fine grained rocks, such as granite, are almost impervious. However, these fine grained rocks, through the development of cracks or fractures, may become waterbearing to a practical extent. The knowledge of the underground water of any region must therefore be based on the knowledge of its rock formations. The United States geological survey has just issued at water supply paper 276, by C. H. Gordon, a report on the "Geology and Underground Waters of Northeastern Texas," including the counties of Bowie, Red River, Lamar, Delta, Franklin, Titus, RAILROAD OFFICIALS HERE Given Auto Ride Over Country by Local Business Men A party of Southern Pacific railroad officials arrived in town Thursday morning on a get-acquainted trip.
