an attempt was made to obtain

IN NORTHERN ALASKA
INTERESTING AND VALUABLE
REPORT MADE BY GEO
LOGICAL SURVEY.

The pioneers search for valuable
minerals in Alaska has been closely
followed by Investigations of the Unit :
ed States geological survey. ENpedi-
tons of survey biologists and topo-
graphic engineers have visited parts
Of northwestern Alaska where mining
has been in progress or where there
was probability of mining in the flu
ture, and reports have been published
setting forth the geologic and topo-
graphic results obtained.
An important Survey.
In 1901 +. c. Schradcr and w. j, Pc
ters arried the first Instrumental sur
vey across northern Alaska from the
Yukon basin TO the Arctic ocean at the
mouth of Colville river, while w. G,
Mendenhall and n. l.. Reahurn made
a similar survey to Kotzehue Sound,
at the mouth of the kobuk This work
was far more important than any
previously done. because 1t included
both accurate topographic surveys and
systematic geologic observations. In
fact, the reports based on these ex-
plorations furnished the first clue to
the geography and geology of the part
Of Alaska north of the Yukon basin.
For eight years after these explor-
ations Of the geological survey was toe
busily engaged in surveying regions of
OF fnr mt, ia i,,n
work in northern Alaska, but it re
suned that work in 1910 and continu.
ed it in 1911. The surveys Of 1911 in
cluded an exploration of the Noatak
valley much of which was previously
almost unknown. The results of these
surveys are set forth in bulletin $40

This report contains the first ac-

moment what the elementary qualities
Of his character must be. First Of al
he must have honesty. No man who
lies can find support In other mon. No
man who is careless about his word
can have the respect Of other men. No
man who lacks loyalty can command
ion that 1t takes more of man to be
a good political boss than II does to
be bishop. Now your bishop must
either be a bit Of blank fool or some
thing Of hypocrite. Either would he

would accept his word as final with
respect to any matter upon which he
presumed to have knowledge. I would
leave amounted money in his posses

ment upon a question within his range
than any other man I know. When T.
comes to sterling qualities combined
with working sense l don't know

RADIUM CONTROL.
Attitude of Government Prompted by
Radical Conservationists.

mining Science)
The constitution of the United States
inhibits the adoption Of any law to
place an embargo upon exports. New
ertheless, 1t is the desire Of the gov
eminent, and perhaps rightly, to place
an embargo at this time upon the ex-
portation Of substance which Is eX-
tremely rare and extremely valuable
Radium Is an element which stands
alone in the esteem Of science, philan-
thropy and popular imagination. How
does it happen, then, that the govern
ment should find it necessary to ap-
proach the question Of radium control
through channels Of the public lam
law? Certainly the United States gov
eminent should not confess itself de-
sirous of purchasing radium at a less
price than other nations are willing tc
offer; it Is beneath our national dig
nifty to admit our unwillingnessto en-
ter the world market as a free com
petitor for the radioactive substance
A government official who Is closely In
touch with the situation recently eX
pressed the view that the secretary OF
the interior would find 1t necessary to
pay better prices for radium ore than
the miners are now receiving, in order
that he may secure the supply which
the proposed government reduction
plants will need. If this Is the case
high prices should be sufficient slim
illus for the diligent operation Of ra :
dunn claims, while ore producers are
certain to sell to the highest bidder
1nsistent defense Of the Foster bill, as
the only possible alternative OF legis-
lation, must rely then, upon the de-
sire to have the government pursue a
picayune policy toward its own citi-
zens. This defense, again. seems to
arise from the horror Of the conserva'
tionists against the speculative profits
Of western prospectors. If this unwel-
come brood Of political meddlers would
simply keep its hands off the case. II
would be easy enough to settle the ra-
dunn policy Of the government to the
satisfaction Of all.

Coal in Chile costs from 81 to IS per

consumption of fuel oil Is increasing,
especially at nitrate works and mines.
Fifty per cent Of the oil comes from
he United States, the balance from
Peru, while 66 per cent Of the coal
comes from England During the first
half year Of 1913 the consumption Of
