WATER POWER OF ALASKA
 TREATED ON IN BULLETIN

For several years the United States Geological Survey has been making study of the water supply of part of Alaska. At first this work was confined to Seward Peninsula. later it was extended to the Yukon-Tana- na region; and Water Supply Poper No. 372, just issued, describes the wa ter resources of the region tribu- tary to Copper River, Prince William Sound, and the lower Susitna
 Stream measurements made dur ing only one season cannot of course, be relied upon for estimating aver age flows, but the Survey Fngir ger, c. E. Ellsworth and R. w. Davenport, besides making measurements of the flow of some of the streams, obtain ed much information on the topog- raphy of the drainage basins, reser- voirs, and power sites. The data thus obtained, when combined, with the weather bureaus records of precipi- tation, will serve as general guide to the engineer, who, however, will at once realize that these facts must be supplemented by careful and thor ough surveys and measurements be- fore he can plan in detail any water power project. The paper will at least show that the water powers available throughout the year are not so abundant in the south central part of Alaska as has sometimes been as- stunned.
 The general province discussed in the report contains valuable minera! deposits. In it's eastern part lies the Boring River coal field with it's high grade fuels, and also the Katalla oil field. In the Copper River basin and in the Prince William Sound region to the west. there are. valuable de- posits of gold and copper, and in the Willow Creek district of the Kenai Peninsula, which is also in the prov ince, there are deposits of gold. Close at hand is the Matanuska coal fiel7 Take it all in all this is one of the richest mineral districts in Alaska, and it contains also arabic lands. Moreover, it embraces the Copper River and Susitna valleys, two of the most important gateways into inland Alaska.
 Appended to the main report is reprint of an article by J. c. Hoyt on the water powers of southeastern Alaska, so that Water-supply Paper 372 contains all available in forma- tion on the water powers along the Pacific Coast of Alaska as far west as Cook Inlet. A copy of this paper may be obtained free on application to the Director, U. s. Geological Sur vey, Washington, D. c.

ID INSTALL 100
 TON A DAY MILL
Mother Lode Mines Company Plan- ming Development of It's
 Property on Big Scale.

According to Supt. w. Bertram
 Hancock, of the Mother Lode Copper
 Mines company, the property is to be
 developed on an extensive scale and will be equipped with modern ma chinery.
 At present fifty-seven men are em- ployed at this copper mine, develop ing on four different 4e.e.a. below the
 mouth of the tunnel and stoping out
 the high grade ore. Recently about
 100 tons of this metal was transport ed over the trail to the Copper River
 & Northwestern railway to the Taco
 ma smelter. This ore runs from 51
 to 60 per cent copper.
 Arrangements have been made to install a mill on the property next
 spring, with capacity of 100 tons per day; a hydro-electric plant of 200
 horsepower for the mill, and also
 compressor. An eighty foot dam will also be built and wagon road con- structed from the mine to Mccarthy
 for the hauling of the ore during the summer months, distance of four teen miles. Owing to the high wa
 ter in Mccarthy creek in the. sum-
 mer, caused by the melting snows
 and glaciers at it's head. the partly constructed trail down the creek can
 only be used by pack train and sad dle horses for about eight months of the year, .~t after the freeze-up heavy freight sleds become available.
 The whole of the mining operations so far ~.. on in .ne Mother Lode mine are practically confined to the
 Marvellous, Godfrey and Hero claims, and consists of 5,415 feet of tunnels,
 crosscuts, drifts, etc. Since the rec tion of a tramway the work of explor- ation and development has been car
 ried on expeditiously. The ore body follows the dip of the bedding plans in the limestone, and the main body varies from six inches to twenty-nine and a half feet, likewise the compo- sition of the ore which in places may
 be all copper glance and in others a mixture of covellite, azurite and mal- lachite, with considerable oxide of iron. It is estimated that there is I$3,60O,0O0 worth of ore blocked out, and tonnage broken in stopes and on
 the dump.
 The property consists of seventy
 lode and placer claims, located in
 1907. and subsequent years by Os-
 car Haglund, Oscar Sall and John
 Smith. and embraces an area of about
 1900 acres of ground in the Chitina
 mining district. These locations
 are for the most part in Marvellous and Independent gulches, thirteen to
 fourteen miles above it's mouth, where it flows into the Kennecott
 river. The Marvellous, Godfrey and Hero claims. upon which most of the
 mining has been dine, are all at the
 head of Marvellous gulch, at an ele- vation of from 6820 to 6734 feet above sea level. The Marvellous
 claim is 3191 feet due east from the Bonanza mine, and one and quarter
 miles southeast from the Jumbo
 mine, both properties of the Kenne-
 colt Copper Corporation.

OLD TIME INDIAN
 SLAVE PASSES AWAY

Wrangell Sentinel: "King George, a blind native and a character we'll known in Wrangell, passed away in his cabin pack of the Charlie Ching Shun store last saturday.
 "King George" whose real name is unknown, and whose history wo t'c make good fiction, was about eighty years of age and has been a resident of Wrangell for about 30 years.
 "King George" is one of the last living slaves of the Alaskan natives, having been captured and brought to Alaska over sixty years ago by tie Klawock tribe returning from a plum dering expedition down into the Can adian territory and it Is probably due to that fact that he was called King George"
 At the time he was brought to Alas ka he was only a boy and worked as slave for the Klawock natives un- til the advance of the United States government placed that under the ban, when he was given his freedom, although a close watch was always kept on him because he was supPos- ed to be the grandson of an evil spir- it and associated with witchcraft. But somehow he managed to escape from his guardians and came to Wran- gell and asked the government au- thorities here to protect him as they had threatened to kill him for prac- ticing witchcraft
 He lived and fished about Wran- ger. until only a few years ago when he went totally blind and ever since that time he has been familiar fig ure setting cutting wood on the beach or finding his way to his shack dragging his frewood along with him.

YALE CONFIDENT OF
BEATING PRINCETON
Team Beaten by Brown Not.
Up To Full Strength
They Claim
By H. G. Hamilton,

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Nov. l4.-Surprising as il
may seem, football coaches at Yale are
doing little worrying over the fact that
Brown Travelled rough shod over the
Eli squad. On the contrary, work to-
day at the New Haven university is be-
ing cheerfully taken up with view of
wholly defeating Princeton and Har-
ward.
The Yale Coaches explain it by de-
claring that it was impossible to send
a full strength eleven against Brown.
Hence, they are satisfied to discover
that a substitute eleven could stave off
defeat by the powerful Brown as long
as it did.
Regulars are in good condition now
at Yale and this week will be devoted
to finishing the practice which it is
hoped will sound the knell of Princeton
and Harvard.
Down at Princeton Eddie Hart has
been helping Speedy Rush and the two
of them are. flinging some pep into the
badly mauled Tigers. Princeton
coaches are not satisfied with the work
at Cambridge. They declare that,
playing the game they did, they should
have scored. Dave Tibbott, who was
prevented by injuries from taking part
in the Harvard fracas, is back and is
expected to be improved enough to
start against Yale.
Harvard has the call of the entire
bunch and is sitting back watching the
scramble, confident that the crimson
will givea good account of itself The
fact that Brown, the team which van
quished Yale, will be at Cambridge
Saturday for entertainment and blood,
has little effect on Percy d. Haughton.
In fact, the head Harvard coach de,
clarcs he probably will send second
string eleven against the Providence
equad, so sure is he that Harvard
methods will down the Brown team s.

counties and at least three irrigation
companies or districts. The levies
against the counties are supposed to
cover the lands in the public highways.
Gem county makes objection to pay
ment of the levy.
Irrigation Companies Fight.
The chief objection to the appor-
tionments is being made by the irriga-
ton concerns, one of which is faced
with an assessment of $4,000. The
irrigation companies set up the claims
that they own no lands and that, since
such charge against them would have
to be collected as blanket assessment
over all the lands they serve, injustice
would be done the shareholders who
live remote from the drainage district.
About score of landholders have
also filed legal objections to the ap-
portionments most of them claiming
that they will not receive as much BEN
eft as they are asked to pay for.
