man of the mainland from Windham bay to the head of Lynn canal and the Porcupine district.
 In the mainland belt northward from Windham bay the bedded or sediment ary formations all strike northwest and southeast, and dip, almost without exception, toward the northeast into the mountains. The igneous rocks closely follow the structure of the sediments, as a rule, so that viewed either in detail or in their general rela- tions the rocks are found to occur ln bands parallel with the general trend of the coast.
 The rocks may be grouped into three series, which are named in the order Of their occurrence from southwest to northeast: ID Black slates and black limestones alternating with green stones, and more or less metamorphos' ed: (2) highly metamorphic schists; (3) intrusive dioritic rocks, forming the main mass or core of the Coast range.
 The average width of the sedimentary belt on the mainland is about six miles, while the diorite zone is from fifty to eighty miles across, and therefore ex- tends into Canadian territory.
 BLACK SLATE GREENSBORO SE- RIES-The series composed mainly of black slates and greenstones, with some beds of limestone, occurs all along the shores of Stephens passage and Lynn canal up 10 the crossing of the great mass of dioritic rocks about thirty miles below Skagway. It occurs also on many of the adjacent islands of the Alexander archipelago, but it's west ward extent has not been determined. The states have been derived from fine grained carbonaceous shales, their slaty cleaverage being secondary structure produced by pressure metamorphlsm which accompanied folding and up turning of the rocks of the region. Carbonaceous matter, which occurred in the original shales, has been convert ed almost entirely into graphite, which is disseminated throughout the slates, and is encountered in large amounts in some of the mines. The limestances sometimes contain graphite, but as a rule their carbonaceous matter has not been crystalized by metamorphic ac- tion, and freshly broken fragments usually give strong odor resembling petroleum, which indicates the presence of hydrocarbons. Fossils of the Paleo- zoic age have been found in the lime stones belonging to the series at Taku harbor, twenty miles south of Juneau. and lower carboniferous forms occur in the Porcupine district, 12o miles to the northwest, but near Juneau organic remains have not been found.
 The greenstones interbedded with the slates are mostly volcanic rocks, which flowed out over the surface at different periods during the deposition of the sedimentary strata in which they occur.
 East of the slate-greenstone series, and sharply defined from it, there is a series of highly metamorphic schists, characterized by hornblende, mica and garnet. A few bands of quartzite and limestone are intercalated in the shists, which, in connection with existing stratalike alternations in the compost tion of the schists, prove the sedimen- tary origin of the series. The schists

FACTS FOR MINERS.
Statement of the Mineral Re sources in the Vicinity of
 the Treadwe1I Mines.

In the summer of 1903 Mir. Charles W. Wright made detailed study of the geology and mineral resources of a limited area, including the Alaska Treadwell and associated mines near Juneau, Alaska, says the P.-I. In ad- dition to this work, visits were made to nearly all the mining camps of the mainland portion of Southeastern Al aska, between Windham bay, about seventy-fve miles southeast of Ju- neau, and the Porcupine placer dis trict, in the Klehini and Salmon river basins of the Chilcat river drainage, about 12O miles to the northwest.
 Prospecting has been in progress i'll different parts of this belt since 1876, but the main incentive to vigorous ex- ploration came with the discovery of the gold creek placers and the found ing of Juneau in 1880. Several early attempts to work gold veins occurring adjacent to the productive placers in the Silver Bow basin, at the head of Gold creek, were unsuccessful, the first mine to be put upon productive basis being the Alaska -Treadwell, on Douglas island, about two miles southwest of Juneau. This property was opened in 1881, ard it continued to grow in in portance for several years, so that by 1889 it had reached it's present rating as one of the great mines of the world.
 DISCOVERY OF KLONDIKE
 The success of this enterprise was an incentive to prospectors, the region had become favorably and somewhat widely known, and capital appeared to be ready to prove the value of several properties when, in 1896, the discovery of the Klondike gave great impetus to prospecting in the interior of British Columbia and Alaska and caused the mineral region tributary to Juneau to be temporarily abandoned as field of investment. The gold fields of the in- terior turned out to be of more than passing value and the exploitation of their rich placers has naturally held the main interest of both investors and promoters, to the great disadvantage of the longer known, though less rich coastal region, the development of which would have involved greater out lay and slower returns. It may be said that only now, after seven years, has the district regained the position which it appears to have held in 1896.
 At present a growing interest in the gold belt here under consideration is apparent from the number of proper ties which have recently changed hands, from the number of experienced engineers making examinations in the field with view to acquiring property for their clients, as we'll as from the demand for experienced miners, which is continually bringing new men into the territory.
 MANY MINERS BUSY
 The numb Der of miners and laborers at present engaged in the region is estimated as follows:
Douglas Island news., 1904-06-01
Total. al......................1,44 l A

About 30 per cent. of the miners in the region were engaged in prospecting and preliminary development during the year, and indications are that the exploration of properties recently pur- chased by outside parties will material ly increase the proportion of men en- gagged in work not immediately pro- ductive.
 In 1903 there were seven productive mines in the district in addition to the placers of Porcupine and adjacent creeks. These were the Alaska-Tread- we'll, Alaska-M Mexican and Ready Bull lion, on Douglas Island; the Silver Queen, on the mainland opposite; the Sumdum Chief, sixty miles to the south, now worked out and abandoned: and the Alaska-Juneau and Ebner mines, in Gold creek, both of which will be opened on large scale. The product of these mines for the year is estimated at s2,4O0,OOO, while the total output of the belt to the end of 1903 has been more than S20,0OO,0O0.
 Several properties which were form erly worked are not now producing bullion, either because they have been worked out or because the conditions of further development would involve too great an increase in mining costs.
 The examinations which have been made indicate that the known pros poets in the belt tributary to Juneau are of sufficient promise to warrant all the work now in progress and the ex- penditure of still more capital in de- velopment, work. There is still room in this field for development companies with adequate capital for acquiring control of promising properties to be explored and sold to operators when their value has been proved. The par ticipation of new interests, which seems about to begin, will undoubtedly bring about rapid quickening of the mining industry, but the development of the field has reached critical stage, and owners of improved or partially explored claims should remember that, though experienced operators are will ing to pay good prices for properties of determined value, it cannot be expected that they will make the heavy cash payments often demanded for the privilege of risking larger sums in developing mere prospects. It is com monly reported that overreaching in this direction has already done much to retard Che progress of mining opera tions in the Juneau belt.
 GEOLOGY OF DISTRICT
 The observations of the summer were confined almost entirely to the main land opposite Stephens passage and Lynn canal, where a belt nearly 200 miles in length was examined with suf- ficient care for the determination of it's main geologic features. The results of this work will be published in re- port dealing with the geology and mineral deposits of the district, which will contain topographic and geologic

occupy a belt about three miles wide opposite Juneau, but their area of out crop narrows in both directions along the strike, and they are not found be- yond thirty miles northwest of Juneau, being gradually cut out by Coast range diorites.
 COAST RANGE INTRUSIVES-Be- yond the schists, when these are pres ent, but elsewhere occurring next to the slate greensboro series, coarse granular rocks having the appearance of granite occur. These form the great mass of the Coast range, not only opposite Stephens passage and Lynn canal, but throughout the corresponding noun tains which border the Pacific ocean southward nearly to the boundary be- tween British Columbia and the state of Washington. The intrusive rocks of this zone have been grouped by Daw- son under the name of Coast range granite, and they have been described in general terms as hornblende-granites. With our present knowledge this desig- nation can not be followed consiste ntly, because in the portion of the belt which has been examined with more or less care by the geologists of the sur vey. dioritic rocks are the rule and granits the exception,
 In the Juneau district the diorites show a considerable variation, not only in the main mass which bounds the | sedimentary rocks, but also in the out lying arms and stocks which are in- trusiye in the schists and black states. Some of the masses are normal horn- blende-diorites or quartz-dlorltes, others are granodiorites, while an ex- treme variety is the albite-syenite, oc- J curing in the Treadwell mines. In general, the rocks are closely related and similar in appearance to the gran ular intrusives of the Sierra Nevada.
 The diorite masses generally follow the stratification of the older rocks, Locally there is certain amount of crosscutting, and in the case of the main contact the amount of transaction is measured by the varying width of the schist band, which is noted above.
 The main naturalization of the Ju- neau belt occurred subsequent to the intrusion of the diorite, in which res pect the deposits correspond in general with those of the gold belt of Californ- ia.
 It is probable that the bureau of equipment of the navy department will secure samples of Alaska coal as soon as there is prospect that the deposits recently discovered in Southern Alaska will be developed on commercial scale. The department will test the quality of this coal for steaming pur- poses, and although it is long look ahead, it is not improbable that if this
