YUKON HAS NO
DEEP OUTLET
Word Received From
the Survey Party.
A CONTINUOUS BAR EXISTS
DREDGING REQUIRED TO AD-
NIT OCEAN VESSELS.
Captain Pratt Will Return to This
Port liter a Vain Search
for a Deep Chan
mel.
DREDGING REQUIRED TO AD-
NIT OCEAN VESSELS.

The latest advices received In this city
from the Government survey party at the
mouth of the Yukon are to the effect that
failure has attended the effort to discover
an entrance for deep sea vessels. It is
now believed that no such entrance ex-
lists and that before the Yukon can be
made navigable for ocean craft, consider
able dredging will have to be done on the
bar which cuts Boring Sea off from the
deep waters of the river.
This news will prove great disappoint-
ment to all persons interested in the de-
velopment Of Alaska For a long time
past there has been widespread belief
that a so-called true mouth" existed,
through which large steamships could en-
ter the Yukon. Once in the stream 1t
would be an easy matter for them to
ascend nearly 500 miles, regardless Of the
fluctuating stages of the river, which
maintains an average width of ten miles
to the lower ramparts and a depth vary
ing from 40 to $50 feet. By using this
water highway up to the Tanana and
heart of Alaska almost as cheaply as
though shipped to st. Michaels. Such
facilities would mean an enormous devel-
opment of mining industries, inasmuch as
many claims which are now improbable
on account of the high prices charged for
supplies could be worked to good account
Moreover, plentiful supplies in Central
Alaska would mean an enormous increase
in the amount of prospecting done. Elk
perience has shown that river steamboats,
on the Yukon are expensive and unreli-
able.
It was with thorough understanding
of these facts that the United States
coast and geodetic survey Office QUILTED
a party last spring to go to the mouth of
the Yukon and make a careful survey
and ascertain whether or not the rumored
deep sea entrance was reality or a
myth. Captain Pratt had the work in
charge, and since beginning nearly the
haen covered
result. A uniform bar appears to exist
crossing all of the various outlets, with
about six feet. of water on it at high
tide. This bar is of soft muck and varies
from a quarter to a half mile in width.
1t is apparent that the bar originated
through the long continued deposit of
river sediments. In fact. it has been
found that the sea itself has been partly
filled up by the sediment for some dis
lance out from the bar. The deepest
water exists toward the southern outlets.
