try leaves us in some uncertainty. For present purposes, however we prefer to take the assertion as to bluff and the popular admiration theefore inr the broader sense. as the declaration, or confession, of National peculiar ity. And we wonder if it is true. That is, does the American public respect success when it has been attained through false pretense?
 This leads to inquiry as to what "blufingn really is. We understand that, in the game whence the term derives it's meaning, the players start with mutual agreement that each of them shall ''nluff'' the others if he can, and that he who draws inac- curate conclusions from the data snb- mitted for his judgement has only his own lack of perspicacity to blame for the consequences of his mistakes Bluffing, properly so called, is there- fore strictly in accord with the rules ot the game, and cannot be considered ln any way reprehensible. But when extended to cover other activities the significance of the word seems to have been changed and extended, for some rather mysterious reason, so as to include, or be, out and .out lying and sw indling.
 Neither of those things, in our opinion, is as highly respected as is scientific achievement, or, indeed, respected at all, in "this country. y We would not like to believe, and for .he present will not, that either is esteemed in Alaska. Of coure we all have what may be defined as an abstract or aestheic admiration for skill and efficiency, DO matter what may be the field of its display. Mur. der itself, as murder, can be done well or ill, and burglary may illustrate clumsiness and stupidity or adroitness 1 and intelligence. But murder and bur. glary cannot be made respectable, and we feel sure that, if Dr. Cook did not reach the pole, he will oe par fly in this than any other country for pretending to have done so.

Since the discovery of placer gold in paying quantities on the headwa- ters of InDcko River. a tributary of the Yukon in 1906, that part of Alaska mas received more attention from prospec.ors looking for new fields than any other district in the Yukon Valley. During the last three years proaba ply l,500 men have visited the Innoko country. 4 preliminary paper on this district, by A. c. Msddren appears ID the United States Geolo- gical Surveys Bulletin 359, the vol ume for I9CS in series of annual reports on investigations of the mineral resources of Alaska. 4 more detailed report is io preparation and will be issued later as separate bulletin.
 Ire Inroko is about SO miles long and drains an extensive, moderately mousainous area between the kaiyub and Kusokowim mountains, which separate it from the two largest rivers in Alaska-the Yukon and the Kusko- kwin, on the northwest and southeast respectively. The placer diggiDgs are accessible ID summer by the way of these two rivers, the Kuskokwim route being considered by Nr. Mad Gren she better, as it inyoyles but one sr ansfer of frieght. This route here, requires an overland haul of B miles, from the forks of the Takotna, trib- osry of the Kuskokwim. to Ophir, on the Ipnoko. The winter routes to the valley are much shorter, is its Ios CT portion is frozen over. In this region as in many other parts oi Alaska, the expenses of operating are very high as direct result of poor and inadeuate transportation facilities.
 Gold occurs in the Innoko country in placer deposits and possibly in lodes. through so far and the only

Inn0k0 River
 Placer Gold

prod uction has been derived from the pIacers. These ae all comparatively shaIlow-nor more than 5 feet in depsh-and are ID lage parts frozen. Most of the work already done CD tbeir may be classed as mere prospecting of the ground.
 The area of economic importance lies De ar the beadwaters of the Inncko, in a region of mountains, and paying quantities of placer golo have been found on Canes, Little, and Ohpir Creeks, all tributaries oi the main river. The gold occurs in the present stream gravels and in bench g-avels averaging about 60 feet above the streams. Canes Creek is a large stream with ample water for hydraul- icking, though the grade is such that the tailipgs would have to be elevated or disposed of by some mechanical means. The other two streams art smaller and there is some doubt whether they contain enough pay gra. vel to justify the expense of bringing water for hydaulicking from dist ance. However, prehensivt scheme of hydraulic mining seems l. promise most for working the deposits of this district with the greatest possible profit. Such scheme would involve thorough prospecting of al the goId-beariDg ground under exper' supervision, the bringing of water from considerable distance, ana tbs consolidating of all property interests Ina. the last item would be consid erable undertaking is indicated by tho fact that about 1.200 placer mining claims have been recorded in the Innoko precinct. These claims art located on nearly every water course within the valley. y.-Northwest Mining Journal.
