the region once or twice year. and nc regular line of passenger steamers calls at the Kuskokwim.
 The Parks prospect Is about 250 miles by river up steam from the r>uskokwim.

 The prospect near Kolmakof has
 been known for more than 20 years
 1t Is situated on the north side ol
 he Kuskokwim about four miles below on this prospect in 1914, and the earlier developments consist of few shallow
 pits which do little more than expose the rock surface. The country rock Is essentially the same as that at the dt plOSPV$S" AtV 4osNhSAA'~A ~A NN-NAA eralization occurs mainly in the shat cred country rock adjacent to one ot ,he small dikes, but clnnabar has alsC been recognized apparently as an orig , inal constituent of the dike rock. The
 maximum width of the naturalization
 including the dike, which Is 1 to 2 | feet wide, appears in the small part
 of the outcrop that Is undisturbed by
 creep to be about four feet. The cin-
 nabar Is especially abundant in the
 quartz stringers and lenses. Few of
 these are more than six inches thick
 or more than two feet long. The
 thickest band of fairly pure, more or
 less crystalline cinnabar observed
 was about a quarter of an inch wide. Although the amount of ore exposed in the existing workings does not seem
 sufficient to be profitably exploited under the present conditions of the region, intelligently directed prospect ir.g might possibly disclose larger ore
 bodies.
 Several claims have been staked on the Kuskokwim George river divide
 about two and one-half miles north west of the Parks prospect. Some quicksilver ore has been found, but the development has not been carried much farther than that required by } law to hold the property. The geolo gic condition in general are the same as at the Parks prospect and the prospect near Kolmakof.

The central part of the Kuskokwin basin is the only portion of Alaska where, up to the present time. lode depos.ts of quicksilver that have at tractsd serious attention have been discovered That there were deposits of Quicksilver in this region has been known since 1880. but not until the summer of 1914 were they visited by members of the geological survey. At two localities on the kuskokwim- the Parks prospect and prospect near Kolmakof--some quicksilver has been produced and sold to the gold miners of the adjacent region. The Parks prospect was visited by Philip s. Smith and the prospect near Kolmakof by A. c. Maddren.
 Both of these prospects are situated close to Kuskokwim river--a large steam navigable in summer by good sixed river steamers for several hun dred miles above the easternmost Of the known quicksilver prospects Ocean going vessels can ascend the kuski- kwim to a point within l50 miles of the westernmost prospect.

past few weeks has placed them in

has fast nine in the field, and last
fall it trounced the Mora leaguers at

will give good account of themselves
and the fans are promised real ball

as it will be Princeton's first opportun-

action. AS announced at the banquet
ladies will be charged 15c before being

is the custom Of all the neighborine

not take this step until it became alb
solutely necessary.
