SURVEY OF BROAD
 PASS COMPLETED

WASHINGTON. Dec. 14.-Oncials of the geological survey announce that the Broad Pass region of Alaska. which for SO long has been consider ed O possible source of mineral wealth has taken on additional inter est since the location of the route for the government railroad in that ter. rltory. In anticipation of the prob able demand for information about this region. the survey began the work of mapping it's topography and geology in 1913. and the completion Of the work Is now brought to public notice in new survey bulletin.
 Broad Pass. as Alaskans know. is the western part Of Q wide glacial valley bordered by steep. straight mountain walls. and lying parallel with Q great east-west range of the north. It connects the upper valleys os Chulitra and Susitna Rivers. Nen- ana River occupies the eastern part of the region. The valley of Jack River. which crosses Broad Pass just above the narrow valley of the Nen- ana. before that stream passes through the Alaska range. provides the route by which the railroad will cross from the Susitna-Chul.tna drain age basin to that of the Tanana-
 The upper parts of stream tributary Co Chulitna and Jack Rivers overlap each other within Broad Pass. there being no appreciable divide between. SO that the grades from the head of the Chuiitna Co the head of the Suslt- ma are gentle and there Is no obstruct- ion.
 Mountain Ranges.
 North and south of Broad Pass. say officials Of the survey. are high noun tains. Those on the north are part of the great range from which. only seventy miles to the west. rise Mount Mckinley. and. near by on the east. Cathedral Mountain and Mount Hayes. There Is a fair growth Of timber in the larger valleys. but most of the country IS above the timber line. The reglon. it is announced. has long been a favor.te hunting ground for the h. dians of the Susitna valley.
 The geological conditions in the region appear to be favorable to min- eraiization. say the experts. but no valuable ore bodies have yet been discovered. The most favorable re- ports come from the district just west Of Broad Pass. near the head of Chulltna River. where prospecting hoe been carried on for several years Valdez Creek. an important gold placer district. lies about thirty miles east Of the pass
 Along some of the streams between Broad Pass and Valdez Creek there are said to be prospects Of placer gold. commercial quantities. Copper prospects,, too. have been discovered in several parts of the region. and at one place. Coal Creek. there is a small area of coal.
 The railroad. which will probably reach th's region by another season. win be expected 10 do much in the way of aiding its development. The wealth of the Broad Pass region. 1t is pointed out. appears to be mineral rather than agricultural.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-- Empha- sizing that a continuance of the good relations between the United States and Austria depends entirely upon the action of the Austrian government, Secretary Lansing's reply to Austria's disappointing Ancona note was made public today.
 The note renews the demands of the United States and says the details to which Austria referred in her re- ply to the first American communica- ton "are ln no way essential to the discussion" The note deals mainly with the commander of the Austrian submarine that sunk the Ancona. and the commanders acts the note says: The culpability of commander in any case is an estab. lished and undlsputed fact when cit zens of the United States are killed, Injured or put in Jeopardy by his law less act. The rules of international law and the principles of humanity, which were thus wilfully violated by the commander of the submarine have been SO long and SO universally rec ognized, and are SO manifest from the standpoint of right and justice that the government of the United States does not feel called upon to de- bate them and does not understand that tho imperial and royal govern ment questions or disputes them. The United States therefore finds no oth. CT course open to it but 10 hold the imperial and royal government TO spons.ble for the act of It's naval com mander. and to renew definite but re- spectful demands made in It's com of the sixth of December.
