GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
TO EXAMINE GLACIERS

Washington, July 9.-The United
States geological survey is planning
extensive work this season In Alaska.
The delay in passing the sundry civil
bill retarded the start. Among the i'm
portant Investigations to be under
tapen are the location Of gold reef and
placer beds, and location Of oil depos-
its, which are regarded of the utmost
importance and in which the territory
is rich.
Extensive Investigations are to be
carried on in connection with the
glaciers of Glacier bay and the lower
course of the Alsek river. Both have
been seriously disturbed by earth
quakes in recent years and one pur.
pose of the survey is to determine the
effect of the recent California earth
quake.
The coal Investigations are to be
carried on in the Yakutat bay region
and Prof Tarr, of Cornell, will make
a special investigation of oil bearing
rocks at Controller bay. Officials say
that there are indications of oil al
Yakutat and around Controller are
large fields of high-grade bituminout
and semi-anthracite coal which will
be Investigated.
This is regarded important in view
of the projected railroad from Orca.
A thorough study is to be made of the
Sushitna basin, which contains placer
beds and the largest area of agricultu.
raj lands in Alaska.
Maps and Reconnaissance will also
be made of the Yukon-Porcupine re-
gion, and work will be done on de.
tail Typographical surveys on the
Seward peninsula.
