U. s. GEOLOGICAL
 SURVEY.
Important Work To Be Done In Alaska During the Present
 Field Season.

The work of the Alaska division of the United States Geological Survey for the present field season is being got under way.
 Alfred H. Brooks, chief of the Alaska division, and several members of the survey were aboard the Hannah on her down trip last week. Mir. Brooks was on his way to Fairbanks, where he will devote his attention to the new placer developments for some weeks, before proceeding to Nome to continue his study of the placer deposits of the Sew ard peninsula.
 l.. M. Prindle, whose work between Fairbanks and Rampant has given him wide acquaintance, was also on board the Hannah, and was greeted by many friends during the hour and a half the boat remained here Mir. Hess, former assistant to Mir. Prindle, is not with the survey this year, the state of his health necessitating layoff. MT. Voncannon is again with Mr. Prindle as aid
 Mir. Prindle, with c. s. Blair as assist ant, will investigate the new Kantishna placer field. He will first proceed south ward from Fairbanks to the base of the mountains, where he will examine coal field on Cantwell river, and then go west to Kantishna.
 D. c. Witherspoon and party disem- parked from the Hannah at Fort Ham, lin. Mir. Witherspoon is assisted by R. B. Oliver, and the party consists of nine men with twelve horses.
 Mir. Oliver came on to Rampant and secured the instruments which were abandoned at the head of Mike Hess river last fall, when Mir. Witherspoon' party was caught by the early snow and had to get out as best they could. The instruments had been brought in by Fort Hamlin Indians during the winter, and were in need of a few slight repairs. George Cowan, the jeweler gave them the necessary attention, and Mir. Oliver returned to Fort Hamlin on the Monarch last Sunday.
 Mir. Witherspoon's party will divide and one section go east and the other south from Fort Hamlin. Prospectors in the interior have the greatest need of topographic and geologic maps. To supply this demand Messrs. Witherspoon and Prindle will continue the work in which they have been engaged for the past four years. It is hoped that during the present summer the topographic mapping can be completed as far west as the Yukon river.
 AS thorough investigation of the mineral resources can not be made with out geologic maps, stratigraphic studies are very essential for the determination of the succession oi the geologic horizons
 F. Nj, kindlc, who last year inyesti- gate,l the stratigraphy of southeast ern Alaska, will this year do similar work in the Yukon basin. He k coming down the Yukon in canoe, and will ascend the roreupine to the inteFus- tioual boundary and make such strait

Other Work in Alaska.

carried on in Seward peninsula the past two years have been crowded out this season by press of other work. Geologic work, however, will be continued by F. H. Moffitt, assisted by P. s. Smith. Mir. Moffitt will complete the areal mapping of the Nome Special and Grand Central Special quadrangles, paying particular attention to the occurrence of placer gold. J. c. Hoyt, assisted by F. F.. Henshaw, will undertake study of the water resources of the Nome district. These Photographic surveys are an inno- vation in the Alaska work, but it is hoped that eventually they may be ex- tended to other parts of the territory. About the middle of summer Alfred H.. Brooks will go to Nome and visit the parties under Messrs. Moffitt and Hoyt, and continue his study of the placer deposits.
 Sushitna Basin.-Great interest has been felt in the Sushitna basin, lying to the south of Mount Mckinley and con taining not only important coal fields, but also some placer beds, and embra- cing the largest areas of agricultural land in Alaska. T. G. Gerdne sailed from Seattle May 16 with party of 12 men and 15 horses for Knik at the head of Cook inlet. He was accompanied by p IJ ,,-h,, ,,.;l1 f.l- al, of section of the party. Sydney Paige will be with the expedition as geologist, and with him will be associated Adolph knopf. The general purpose of the in- vestigation will be to carry reconnais- sance surveys up to the head of Mata- nuska river and thence westward to the Sushitna. The geologists will pay spe- cial attention to the Matanuska coal fields.
 Southeast Alaska.-Messrs. c. W. and F. E. Wright, assisted by k. w. Pum- belly, will continue their geologic work north and west of Lynn Canal, including the Glacier Bay region and Chicagoff Island. The glaciers on Glacier Bay will be specially studied. These were very much shaken by an earthquake in 1899, and ans attempt will be made to determine how much the ice has re- treated since Prof. H. F. Reid's survey in 1891 Eliot Blackwelder, assisted by A. G. Maddren, will explore the lower  course of the Alsek river as far as the international boundary. It will be his special purpose to study the geology of the St. Elias range, and determine, if possible, the relation of the rocks of this field with the gold-bearing rocks of southeastern Alaska.
 Yakutat Bay Region.-Prof. R. S.. Tarr, assisted by Lawrence Martin, will continue his work. He proposes to cross the upper reaches of the Malas- pima glacier and make his way westward to Yaktag. This means sled journey of about hundred miles over ice. It is his general purpose to carry the geo- logic reconnaissance work westward, and, if possible, establish the relation to the coal and oil-bearing rocks of Controller Bay. He will also examine the beach placers and the oil seepages at Yaktag.
 Controller Bay Region.-tieorge C.. Martin, assisted by C. F. Weaver, will complete the detailed mapping of the

The way freight has been de-
layed lately in transportation is
something awful. Practically all
our shippers have from ten to
thirty days delayed freight on the
road. A shipment of paper for
this paper has been since the oath
ult trying to reach this place Cars
of box stuff are reported laid out
at Fruita which should have
reached the Association last week.
There is something radically
wrong with this condition. 1t looks
TO us as if the smeiters with their
coal had a right OF way over all
local shipments. But 1t certainly
appears that boxes for perishable
stuff should at least be rushed
through.

On Monday of this week the
town of Paonia took over the
electric light plant and now Paonia
owns and operates ALL its public
utilities. THE NEWSPAPER is very
proud of the fact that it has aided
to the extent of its ability to Sc
cure this result. Our water plant
is now making lots of money and
a flood of applications for electric
lights are coming into the city
office, indicating that it is only a
matter of a short time when the
capacity OF the plant will be ex-
ceeded. All this goes to prove
that municipal ownership is the
popular thing and that its appli-
cation in Paonia will result in vast
benefit to all the people. In our
Judgment the time will very soon
arrive when even those who have
opposed the reform will admit
that they were in error and that
Paonia has done the right thing
at the right time.

that when the bin proviiing for

but since he has had experience

he did not have clause inserted
providing for fining directors who

merely to get their names on the
minutes and draw the compensation
provided. He also said 81 believe
that when children rebel against or
der in the schools they should be
forced to obey and | think it wise to
bring this about by corporal punish
ment. If a child acts like a rebel it
should be treated like a rebel, with
force.
