announcements concerning supposedly
familiar portions of the earth's sur
face.
only in Europe have the unknown
regions disappeared. Rich forests
have lately been discovered south of
Hudson bay in Canada, coal and cop
per on the arctic coast and new gold
fields in the northwest. But parts of
Alaska. aggregating six times the size
of New York state, are unmapped, un-
explored. Sources Of rivers are un-
found in Texas and New Mexico.
Despite the quest of the rubber
hunters portions of the Amazon valley
thrice the size of New England are un-
tracked. Explorations are afoot in
