No other extensive areas of similar

may represent offshore deposits that

with another part of the basal con

Still higher in the series is an al
formation of fine conglomerates and

(now generally altered to the form
Of pencil shales and slates). The
materials of the higher beds show

LlTHoLOGIc CHARACTER
The basal conglomerate is made
up of powders of granite, gneiss,
and a great variety of metamorphic
rocks, such as occur generally in
the region east of Melozitna river
and probably form the floor on which
the series rests.
The finer beds of the series include
clays. shales sandstones, grits, and
fine conglomerates, the shales and
sandstones predominating. The
shales are generally dark -colored
gritless sorts that have developed
slaty or pencil shale cleavage.
Some are arenaceous and one i'm
portant shale member has gravel
scattered through it, singly or in thin
lenses and strata. The sandstones
are chiefly feldspathic and some APP
proach true arkose in composition.
For the most part they contain
variety of materials, including quartz
and feldspar grains, femc minerals,
and fragments of ebert, quartzite,
and dense isneous rocks. These
beds are the kind that would be
formed by greater communion
of the materials that enter into the
basal conglomerate and point to con-
tinued sedimentation from the same

GEOLOGY.

oCOGO0I.
=
The metamorphic rocks of the
eastern part of the region are divis-
ible into two general groups-a
schist group, derived chiefly from
original sedimentary rocks, and a
greensboro group. in which altered
basic isneous rocks predominant.
The schist group outcrops at in
tervals along the Yukon from Kok-
rines nearly to Rampant and probably
covers considerable areas in the ad
jacent territory north of the river.
1t also occupies a large area on the
headwaters of Tozitna and Ray riv-
ers that continues northeastward to
the headwaters Of Dali and Kanuti
rivers
The predominant rock types of the
schist group are quartzite schists and
quartz-mica schists. Associated
with these rocks are limestones,
augen gneisses, and greenstones.
whose mechanical alteration is COM
parable with that Of the predominant
schist types. They are also cut To-
cally by unsheared intrusive rocks
The schist group is undoubtedly
in large part the equivalent of the
schist series on the headwaters Of
Dali and Kanuti rivers described
by Mendenhall and considered by
him to be of probable Devonian and
Silurian age. The same physical
characteristics have been noted in the
rocks of the Ruby district to the south
west, where Devonian fossils We're
collected by the writer in 1912, and
in the metamorphic rocks at the
head of Little Minook creek and
on Quail creek of the Rampant dis
trict, that have furnished Silurian
and Devonan fossils. 1t seems prob
Me that tho group is composed
chiefly of Silurian and Devonian
terranes, though other Paleozoic
periods may be represented.
The greensboro group forms the
chief visible bedrock along the Yu-
kon from a little below Rampant to
Fort Hamlin and occupies large
area on both sides of the river.
These rocks continue westward from
the Yukon about 20 miles to the
headwaters of Tozitna river. From
this locality the western boundary
swings to the northeastward and
crosses the Yukon little above
Fort Hamlin. A published descrip-
ton of this group as it occurs in the
vicinity of Rampant is as follows:

TALKING PICTURES At GRAND

Thomas A. Edison's latest invention
the Kinetophone, or Talking Pictures,
has taken it's place among the high
class theatrical attractions now tour
ing the country. A programme Of
twelve excellent subjects, combining
musical and dramatic numbers, CON-
edy, vaudeville and minstrel bits, and
special features in which prominent
statesmen and noted suffragettes are
seen and heard has been arranged for
presentation in the first class the
aters.
Several companies have been or
ganized by Mr.. Edison, each equip
ped with it's force of operators and
necessary mechanical accessories Of
machines, ETC., and having its ad-
vance agent and business manager.
These companies are competing sue
cessfully with the largest dramatic
and musical organizations for volume
of business. In the hundred or more
leading cities of the United States
where the Kinetophone has already
been seen during engagements vary
ing from three days to as many
months, the recognized dramatic crit
les have been unanimous in declar-
ing it an unqualified success.

presentation of this little masterpiece
is the most ambitious effort yet made

Originally produced twenty-five
years ago, robin Hood" has enjoyed
a career of remarkable prosperity. It
has been performed more than seven
thousand times, and the melody of
it's score and the wit Of it's book will
live to give delight to generations
yet unborn. The present production
will doubtless serve as a sharp re-
minder of the marked deterioration of
the standard of light opera. and it
may serve as good purpose in elm.

MAPEs WINS SUIT
Superior Court Holds Or. J. A. Mapes
Was Justified In Regulating
Land Contract

MONTESANO, Feb. 16.-Judge
Mason Irwin handed down memoir
andum decision in the Frank B. Ed
ney and brother suit against ]. A.
Mapes and wife, a land case, which
grants judgment to the defendants.
This case was heard several weeks
ago and excited considerable interest
According to the attorneys 1t Is quite
likely to be appealed and would have
been either way it was decided.
The Edney brothers owned a ranch
east of Montesano, under a sort of
contract, and on which there was a
longtime mortgage. They made a
trade or sale to Dr. Mapes, and the
papers were placed in escrow. Later
the doctor refused to fulfill his part
of the contract in which the court
holds he was justified.
The court finds the plaintiffs prob.
ably made no wilfull misrepresenta-
tions that would have justified the
breaking of the contract, but it finds
instead of there being 60 acres of good
land there was really only about 40
acres; that instead of there being a
decided 30-foot roadway to the farm
there was only verbal promise of a
15-foot road and that the plaintiffs
in effect promised to deliver an un-
encountered title whenever the money
was paid over. whereas. owing to the
longtime mortgage, they were unable
to do it.
