vestigations
DIR. Griggs' message declares that

coveries the Valley Of Ten Thousand
Smokes Will stand as the first wonder
Of the world. Instead of ten thous-
and smokes" as the vast volcanic
area in Alaska Is now known. the
valley has literally millions OF nc
tive vents In the space OF a hun
dred square miles.
The survey Of the exploration party
proves that Katmai is the greatest
crater on the face of the globe. being
more than nine miles in circurhfer-
ence and $500 feet deep. The party
also discovered n mud river seveteen
miles long, and mapped sixteen hun
dred miles of territory hitherto I'M
charted. Two thousand photographs
OF the great volcano and the con-
tguous territory were secured and a
complete collection of plants insects
birds and geological data Ia being
brought back to the United States by
the expedition, which will reach
Washington aha4t-aett1rer cases
from the vents are also being brought
mack for chemical analysis
Mr.. Grosvenor announces that the
expedition, Judging from DR. Grieps'
preliminary report, is one of the most
successful ever undertaken bv the
National Geographic society. and that
the data collected by 1t will be among
the foremost contributions to the
science or the earth's surface since
the dawn of the twentieth century

tmai region from Seattle on Nav

iar TO complete the work begun nv

Prior TO the great Katmai eruption
OF June, 1912, practically nothing was
known Of this great Alaskan volcanic
area. The explosion of that year was
one OF the most terrific in the history
of the world. The quantity OF ma
teFiaf thrown from the KatmaI crater
was vastly greater than that which
| resulted In the projection OF the
island of krakatoa out of the bed of
the Pacific ocean.
