UNKNOWN ARCTIC
 HAS GREAT RESOURCES
Renart oI Great Lakes of oil Irlekle Iapm Out of inc Polar
 naSin

Nenana, Alaska. Aug, ss-Fhe unr known Arctic region between the Cole vile and P0reunine rivers, where Dr. Philip s, smith has led a party of the United states Geological Survey on a perilons mission of exploration, is the locale of strange tales, spread among fur traders and gold hunters by inc native Eskimos and Indians,
 The territory which the smith party has gone to investigate and chart appears on the maps largely as a taank space. Certain rivers, like the c0lyille, never have been traced to their headquarters, and what Tn the way of topography and resources lies within an area of ab,00e square miles has been a matter of conjecture,
 Reports have triekled out of the Polar Basin that great lakes or oil were to be found in this wilderness, But the Eskimos and Indians tell stranger stories. They say the land is haunted by weird beasts, some Of such immense stature that they leave tracks as large as dinner plates, II is said that no Indian can be per- suaded 10 penetrate the region, even though tempted by the promise or abundant fur. The lore has 1t that there arc great areas of hot springs, whore the snow never falls and the streams never freeze.
 Some of the more eredulons of the white men. linking tho tales with their scientific reading, contend that there still may turk in tho far north remnants Of tho mastadon herds that have left their bones and ivory In al- most every stream bordering the lower Yukon river.
