thought of a station near by was
more practical than his. She reck-

tion OF the sunset, the express which
had just roared by with it's linked

going from west to east; therefore
an UP train. The next one going in

mer that trading schooner succeed
ed in turning the point OF northern
Alaska For weeks it was feared
in Washington that DR.. Smith and
his men would either be stranded
at Point Barrow for the Winter or
would be obliged to undertake an
other long dog-team journey over
the mountains to Nome No word
could come through from the ex-
plorers.
1t was with a sigh of relief that
the Geological Survey officials learn
ed that they had finally obtained a
ship and were on the way to Nome.
Despite the daring exploit success
fully carried through, DR.. Smith smil-
ingly denies that his party had any
stirring adventures in this strange
land. where the human voice ordi-
narily is practically unknown from
one end OF the year to the other.
Meanwhile a companion expedition
in the same territory did not fare SO

tngton engineers, William T. Foran
and ]. E Mertie, with Alaskan help
ers. While Smith was exploring the
long Colville Basin Foran and Mertie
undertook. to explore the short, swift
kuk River, farther west -

They were two weeks: overdue in

that this westward flowing stream

the bottom and became useless.

make their way along the river
channel on foot. They emerged
safely, however, and now are on their

WHAT both parties found Is prob
lematical DR.. Smith cannot
divulge the discoveries concerning
the geological wealth of the terri
tory previous to the issuing OF his
official report, which is now in the
hands of the director. He did con-
firm. however. that the country is
very rich in coal. The impossibiiity
of transportation. of course, viii
render this unavailable for years to
come, but it is there in case OF need.
The country has been set aside as q
naval oil reserve, where battleships
OF the future may be able to obtain
their supplies indefinitely.
AS for the country itself, it is desc
late enough but not entirely lnhos-

mer. Men accustomed to leading a
rough life can find plenty OF food.
There Is even a strange beauty about
the land, characteristic of Arctic
regions, that fascinates explorers
and draws them back with the, mag
netic lure of the far north. Even in
Winter it is entirely possible for
men familiar with Arctic conditions
to support themselves in the interior.
The region is an old hunting ground
for the natives, formerly rich in fur
bearing animals.
