GEOLOGICAL SURVEY WILL
 WORK NEAR KAMA AK

KANATAK, April 1-Telegrams have just been received by owners of horses in Kanatak from s. R. Capps, of the Geological Survey, Washington, D. C., requesting bids on six or seven horses for June 18th.
 A letter received from the survey in the last mail stated that w. R. Smith would probably return for a more de- tailed geological study of the district. The horses referred to in these tele- grams are evidently for the Smith party.
 Mr.Smith came to this district in 1921 as assistant geologist to s. R. Capps. In 1922 he accompanied the R. H. Sargent typographical party from Kanatak to Chignik, as geologist In 1923 he was the geologist with the R. K. Lynt typographical party work ing from Kanatak to the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes. He is thoro- ughly familiar with the conditions anC geology in this field and has surveyed more consecutive territory in this dis trict than has any other geologist who has visited the field.
