SOUTHEASTERN ALASKAN SURVEY

With the publication of report on the Ketchikan and Wrangcu mining districts-Buletm &47. announced by the United States Geological Survey as ready for distribution--a prenmn- ary statement of the mineral resour. ces of the three most important min ing districts of southeastern Alaska has been issued. that on the Ju- neau district having been sent out in 1906.
 Because of its important mining in- terests, southeastern Alaska was one of the first fields in the territory to be investigated by the Geological Sur yey, but up to 1902 the work in this region had not advanced beyond the cursory examination of some of the more important districts. In 1902 a topographic survey of a small area near Juneau was completed. and was followed during 1903 by the geologic mapping of the same area and the extension of a geologic recounaiss- ance over considerable adjacent region. The report just issued em. bodies the results of the extension of these studies southward to the southern boundary of the territory.
 The main object of the preliminary publication is to meet the needs Of miners and prospectors, and the re- port includes only so much of the general geology as is necessary to the understanding of the occur ence of the commercially valuable mineral deposits. A more complete exposition of the geology will be pre- sented when the field has been more exhaustiyely studied, and a final an. alysis of the various problems con. nected wiJE the genesis and occur encc of the ores must also await de- tailed surveys. Such geologic sur veys must be preceded by topogra- phic mapping and hence can be car ried on only very slowly.
 Location of the Districts.
 The report covers a land area esti- mated at l4,5OO square miles. and in- cludes the portion of the mainland from Portland Canal on the south to a line running due east from Cape Fanshaw to the International boundary, and those islands of the

PATTERSON
WINS PRIMARY
CARRIES 40 COUNTIES WITH
MAJORITY OF OVER 1000.

Gov Patterson is the winner in Sat
urday's primary, having over 1000
votes more than former Senator Car
mack, with an accredited representa-
tion in the convention of 732 votes,
majority of 146. AS far as can be
learned, Governor Patterson carried 40
counties of the 96 counties of the state,
has popular majority of 7,137, and
delegate majority of 146. Patterson
won heavily in Middle Tennessee, car
rying some counties by unprecedented
democratic figures, his total majority
being 1885. He also carried West
: Tennessee by sst votes.
Carmack carried East Tennessee by
1859 votes. These are not official fig
ures, but it is not thought there will
be any material change.
OF nearby counties, Bledsoe went for
Carmack with 90 majority, Grundy for
Patterson with 100, Marion gave Pat
terson 300 majority, and Sequatchie,
40. Hamilton county went solidly for
Patterson by 2, 9O4 majority.
Carmack will not make any contest,
although there are charges of fraud,
and probably many peculiar things
were done by the liquor interest to Sc
cure the nomination of their candi-
date. Mr.. Carmack made the follow
ing statement Monday;
''Neither Mr. Armistead nor myself
have instituted or suggested any con-
test anywhere have heard, just as
others have, of protests against cor
ruption and fraudulent practices in va
rious counties, but have never con-
templated making a fight to promote
my own nomination or to defeat the
nomination of Gov. Patterson against
majority of the popular vote. There
is no way provided by which the cor
rupt and fraudulent vote can be sifted
out of the mass and | shall not attempt
!. it.
N "'But my candidacy is but one feat
.Are of this con test. The democratic
platform is yet to be made, democratic
legislators are yet to be nominated, in
sstructed and elected. The fight for
athe utter abolition of the whiskey
traffic and for other vital reforms must
go on without moments $ pause. The
enemy has won Pyrrhic victory:
This battle has been lost but the war
has just begun
"They have immensely strained and
weakened their resources to gain it.
We are as strong as ever and can put
up as good a fight every Saturday as
we did last Saturday. -
