THE NTER1UR OF THE KITCHEN TENT"
building is heated by a hot air plant. The
plant is placed under the building. Be
meath the building is a stratum of muck,
beneath the muck a glacier. The hot air
did not all go up the pipes for diffusion
in the channels intended Much of it es-
capped under the building, and as the foCn-
dation was well enclosed by boards and
earth, the heat got to work on the muck.
extracted the frost, and then insidiOusly
eXerted its mischieyous power on the gla-
cier. The pillars in the center of the build
ing settled down to rest, and the building
began to follow. The big stone vault.
weighing several tons, and extending to
the second floor, also had a modest relapse
Things began to look serious. 1t was de-
cided to do something, and for the last.
four weeks big crew of men has been
engaged in doing it. The foundation un
der the vaults has been made much wider
and a new and deeper section of fOunda
ton laid that extends below the glacier.
The building has been raised by jack
screws in the center, and new pinning
placed around the entire outer portion of
the structure.
The hot air plant is reserved, and is in
its old position. 1t will, continue in SER
vice, but the lower portion of the building
will be left OPEN so that the cold air can
circulate under the greater portion of the
building, and partitions made so the hot
air cannot circulate to all parts of the bot
tom of the building.
Three giant trusses, made by boiling
several long two-inch planks together, are
being placed crosswise under the building.
and arranged so they will rest on the outer
supports, far from the probable range OF
the hot air. These trusses will be suffi-
cient in themselves to support the building
even should the underpinaing give way,
and it is thought they will at all times
keep the center of the structure plumb.
Some have suggested the hot air plant
should be in the oSen lot, not under the
building, but others argue the building
would not be satisfactorily heated if that
were the case.
Some of the other Government buildings
have been troubled in the same manner
but since the entire town Of Dawson is
over a vast glacier, it is scarcely possible
to escape trouble from that source unless
the foundations of buildings extend be-
meath the glaciers. The fact glaciers
would give SO much trouble was not fore
seen by the early builders. This is the
first country known in America in which
such peculiar conditions have been en-
countered, and there was no previous ex-
perience for guidance.

southern copper belt. The outfit and pro-
visions Of the two parties were shipped
north in the latter part Of February and
transported across the Coast Range by
Mr.. Witherspoon. Through the efforts of
these parties considerable additional
knowledge was gained regarding the occur
renee of copper north and south Of the
Wrangell group, and important geographic
data were collected concerning the rugged
and little known Wrangell Mountains.
The third party, under Alfred IL.
Brooks, geolCgist, who is in general charge
Of the Alaskan geologic work of the Geo
logical Survey. and ID. L. Reaburn, topog-
rapher, with a party of FIVE assistants
and camp hands and 20 horses, started
from the head of Cook Inlet and proceed
ing in a northerly direction, reached the
Tanana River. The first part OF their
trip was through heavy forests and swol-
len streams, notably the Skwentna River,
which was crossed with great difficulty;
the southwestern portion of the Alaskan
Range was then crossed and the slopes
of Mount Mckinley, its highest peak and
the most lofty elevation on the continent.
over 10000 feet, were visited. The route
then turned to the northeast, along the
front of this entire range, when progress
was easier. over slightly rolling plateau.
and the Tanana River was reached in
surely. Il rom tuiS point the illtit- huoWh
country to Rampant City, on the Yukon,
was crossed and the descent of the latter
river was made by steamer. The route
over which the members of the party
made their way on foot was about 500
miles in length.
A fourth party, under A. ]. Collier. as
sistant geologist, was engaged in the study
of the coal resources of the entire Yukon
Valley in United States territory adjacent
to the river. This party also visited some
of the placer camps which had not before
been investigated. Its work included the
study of the geologic relations of the re-
gion. particularly interesting to the SCI
entists and closely related to the develop
ment of the mineral resources.
The fifth party, in charge of w. ].
Peters, top0grapher, was engaged in the
mapping of the extreme southeastern parts
of the Territory, in the neighborhood of
Juneau, which, owing to its rich mineral
resources, is of great economic importance.
In the face of considerable hardships
the work of the Summer was carried out
substantially as planned without serious
loss or accident. Hitherto, in Alaskan
work, energies have been particularly de-
voted to the exploration of its unknown
regions. but during the last year it was
possible for the first time to accomplish
a large amount of valuable geologic and
topographic work. the results of which
will in due time be published by the
United States Geological Survey.

Notwithstanding the meagerness of the

composed chiefly of fiber. Soaked lit
tie and shredded, they might have been
woven into a fair enough doOrmat, but
were very unsatisfactory as an article of
diet. Tomatoes, too, about the size of
good horse chestnut, were available for
salad, but with grease to go with them.
Potatoes, too, were in evidence, not the
desicated Klondike stuff the Commissary
had been dishing out much of the time,
but genuine tubers, though small in size
and well on towards fit condition for the
garbage barrel By careful peeIing and
pruning about one-third of the potatoes
issued were rendered fit for the table.
Then there were onions, and coming from
Oregon, where good onions grow, and hav-
ing come recently, they were first class
Cabbage, too, at times came out of the
Commissary, and on this Christmas day
it was present.
