ABOUT l,5D0 MILES
Tie Trip rlade By Three Adventur" Ous PrOspeGtOrs -- Found Only a. Country Showing SOapstone and Sandstone EOrmatiOnS..

JIM. Harris, the dscoverer of the Bluestone district and it's first recorder, aad later the discoyerer of Harris creek, in kougarokN strict, returned Thursday from q trip which included a section of Alaska in which it is prob | set foot.
 On March 1,l last, Mir. Hanris, in company with.Jake ,Zeaman aud Tony Zimmerman, left Nome for the. Koyu- kuk, selecting route from, tho head of Norsun.baya They went up the Enga. tolik river distance of 100 miles, then crossed over to the Ungatolik and fol- lowed that river to its head, and then they struck across country to the Koy- ukuk slope until they reached the DOgglooseatt river, tributary of the Koyukuk: they went down that river to it's confluence with that stream, and then down the Koyukuk to Nulato on 8 raft, where Mr. Harris and Mir. .Zim- merman .gOt a small boat aud came. to St.. Michael. Mr. Harris estimates the distance. travelled overland and by l water at some l,500 miles. The party didknot go up the Koyukuk to Coldfoot, having heard many adverse, reports from people coming down the Koyu- kuk.
 Speaking of the country, drained by the EngatOlik. the Ungatolik and Dogglooseat rivers, Mir. Harris states that there are fewer indications of 2 precious-mineral bearing country than n.any portion of Alaska that he has prOspected. The formation for the most part is sandstone and soapstone, snd he believes that coal exists in that section.
 Wild game is plentiful, there being numberless geese, duck and other fowl, while bear and cario6u are plentiful, the former being so curious that on one occasion large cinnamon entered his .ent one morning looking for breakfast. The party endured great hardsh,ps on the trail, frequently wading knee deep in water, while pulling a sled on which was their travelling outfit.
