Topography

The region is one of mountainous topography and high relief. The floor of Salmon River and of its principal tributary. Texas Creek, rises from sea level to about 800 feet where they issue from their glacier sources. From these low valley attitudes the mountains rise steeply and in places by uAscalable cliffs to heights between 5000 and 5000 feet The highest points with. in the area examined are little over B5OO feet above the sea. The only level land in the district consists of the eravel-floored bottoms along Salmon River and Texas Creek. The lower slopes. up to 5000 feet or more are covered with forest: at higher

oped on the Alaska side. many claims have been staked, and on some of these considerable work has been done during the last two years.
 In view of the fact that the aeo- logic features on the two sides of the boundary were known to be es- sentially the same, there appeared to be good hope that commercial ore bodies might be found in the Salmon River district. For this Fea- son the writer undertook a geologic examination of the region, a task which occupied him from July 19 to August 17, 1920. Though the salient features of the geology are simple, the 1eavy yesetas cover below timber line greatly enhances the difficulties Of field examination and increases the work of the pros. peetOr.

levels the mountains, where not covered by snow fields and gla- ciers, are largely bare rock. Eveni the narrow ridges along Portland Canal and the lower parts of Sal mon River carry snow fields and small summit and cliff glaciers, and farther inland the larger valleys reach above snow line and serve as collecting basins for extensive icei fields, the sources of large valley glaciers. The snow line stands at] about 4500 feet, and the glacieSs de- 1 scepd within 500 feet of sea level. I
 Climate
 Portland Canal lies within the1 Pacific coast climatic province, an area of abundant rainfall and con- paratively moderate temperature due to prevailing westerly winds from the Pacific Ocean. The annual precipitation at Fort Tongass. near the entrance to Portland Canal, is
 about 130 inches: at the head of the canal it is less, probably not l far from 100 inches. The least rain- ! fall occurs late in spring and early in summer. and abundant rains set
 in by September. From November
 to March the precipitation is in the l form of snow. The summers are not hot, and the temperature sell dom drops much below zero in win ter.
 Commercial Conditions

He had long since discovered that his
imperious little friend was far from
an angel.
At his rooms he found a note await
ing him.
"Come tonight after eleven. am

wall of real distress. There was only
one way to find out unless he went TO
the police. That way was to go
through with the adventure. He de-
cfded to play a lone hand except for
such Help as Johnnie could give him.
Clay took a downtown car and rode
to the cross-street mentioned in the let
ter for preliminary tour of investf-
cation. The street designated was
one of plain brownstone fronts with
iron-grilled DOORS The blank faces
of the houses invited no confidence.
1t struck him that there was some
thing sinister about the neighborhood,
but perhaps the thought was born OF
the fear. Number III had windows
barred with ornamental grilles. This
might be to keep burglars out. 1t
would serve equally well to keep pris-
oners in.

Her hand went out instantly. A smile
softened her eyes and dimpled her
cheeks.

That will be better, 1 think"
Clay agreed. With cool little nod
that included them both. she turned
and ran lightly up the steps into the
house.

staring after her with open mouth.
Clay smiled. He had an opinion of

CHAPTER VII
Johnnie Green-Match-Maker,

johnnie Mdker.
Johnnie Green gave an upward Jerk
to the frying-pan and caught the flap
jack as it descended.
"Fust and last call for breakfast in
the dining-cJar. Come and get it, old
timer" he sang out to Clay.
That young man emerged from his
bedroom glowing. He was one or two
shades of tan lighter than when he
had reached the city. but the paint of
Arizona's untempered sun still distin-
guished him from the native-born. if
there are any such among the inhabi-
tants of upper New York.
You're one sure-enough cook" he
drawled to his satellite. BEST flap
jacks ever made in this town."
The Punt beamed all over If he
had really been a puppy he would
have wagged his tail. Since he couldn't
do that he took It out In grinning. Any
word of praise from Clay made the
world sunshiny one for him.
The two men were baching it. They
had little apartment in the Bronx
and Johnnie looked after 1t for his
friend. One of Johnnie's vices-ac-

ton TO his presence by staying too
long. Besides, he had some arrange
ments to make for the night at his
rooms.
These were simple and few. He
oiled and loaded his revolver careful
ly, leaving the hammer on the one
chamber left empty to prevent acct
dents, after the custom of all careful
gunner. He changed into the wrinkled
suit he had worn when he reached
the city. and substituted for his shoes
a pair of felt-soled gymnasium ones.
The bowIegged little puncher
watched his friend, just as faithful
dog does his master. He asked no
questions. In good time he knew he
would be told all it was necessary for
him to know.
As they rode from the Bronx, Clay
outlined the situation and told his
plans so far as he had any.
$50 I'm goin' to take whiri at It,
Johnnie. Mebbe they're lynn low up
in that house to get me. Mebbe the
notes the real thing. You can search
