Altitude of "Bulshaia Gourl" Is
Not Yet Determined.
ElDRiDoE RISES TO EXPLAIN.
Survey Into Cook Inlet Country
Denies Published Statements At
frfbuted To Him Relative to
Not Being Yet Worked Out.

C. H. Eldridge. of the United States geo.
logical survey PARTY, just returned from
Cock inlet, at the RainieEGraId last night,
denied the statements purported - have
been made by himself or some members
OF his party and published in An AsSocl-
ateI Press dispatch, with reference 10 me
new discovery and altitude o. a mountain
known as Bulishae, and figure! on The
last map OF Alaska published by the United
States geological survey. Every member
OF the survey Mr.. Eldridge says. prior 10
leaving Alaska received written instrue-
tons from the director at Washington for
bidding any sta teueni being made pupllc
OF the result of their work III thar country
without direct authority given by him. As
tho result OF these instructions, Mr.. Ed
ridge was found reluctant 70 say anything
whatever concerning the topography or
geology OF the country surveyed. but. in
view Of the several erroneous statements
already published and with the fear that
harm might be done by these m!srepresenta-
tons he was willing 10 make the following
comments:
No one OF the party knows the elevation
OF the mountain in question. SINCE II has
not yet been worked out Furthermore.
X will not be known FOR At least a month
or two 10 come. since all Of the parties
that doubtless have had views OF II are
not vet in from the field. 1t is obviously
impossible. therefore. that the statements
alleged to have come from these parties
could have been made
Il myself have made no such statements.
All that l could say al present is that
Cook inlet and the great valley OF the
Sush5.na river are almost entirely surround
ed by ranges OF mountains of great alti-
tudes, frequently running about 10000 feet
Like all mountain ranges. these carry
peaks some OF which tower far above the
general crest. reaching. PERHAPS, 1890 or
15,i00 feet Higher than these there may be
two or three. of which this great mountain
under discussion is one.
This great mountain has been seen this
season by all who have visited the Sushit-
river. great sno~-capped peak lying
In the forks OF the river just ID the west
Of that fork known as the Chulitro. about
l25 miles from its mouth and almost due
north.
Myself and party saw only the southern
and casters slopes of this mountain, from
which points il seemed TO be an inaccessible
peak. by reason OF the rugged nature as
summed by the rock masses which enter into
its structure.
Regarding the name of this mountain,
the lndiars of the country commonly speak
OF it as 'Bulshaia G0uri, the Bushaia be-
ing Russian adjective meaning big. and
the other WORD. the spelling OF which l am
not familiar with, meaning mountain"
