A total of more than six milli- on cases of salmon have been packed so far this year in the various districts of Alaska, ac- cording to an official compilat- ion made by the Bureau of Fisheries, in cooperation with the Association of Pacific Fish cries.
 The figures are said to have arrived at through careful analysis of all conditions and a painstaking check on the pack.
 Southeastern Alaska is said to have produced more than two- fifths of all fish canned in the Territory.

COOLIDGE STRONG
 FOR CARPET BADGERS

The outlook for a resumption of the old "carpet-bag" regime is growing stronger and prom ises to be the answer to the campaign of calumny and islander instituted by certain disgruntled Alaska politicians and office seekers is clearly disclosed in a recent Washing ton announcement stating that President Coolidge is desirous that more prominent persons in the States will accept gov ernment positions in Alaska" {"
 The president, according to the press reports quoting a White House announcement, ''is determined to have a house cleaning of incapable govern ment officials in Alaska" and will consult Secretary of the | Interior Work" as to a new course to be followed in giv- 1 ing Alaska better law enforce ment."
 The report says the president "has found it difficult to get reliable information of the al- 1 legged lack of law enforcement lin the Ritchie and Reed dis tricts," apparently because of the fact that Alaska has split into many political factions, with the outs doing all they con to discredit the ''ins."
 The president has been told, the reports say "that one per son out of every eleven in Alaska holds a government government position. From the mass of conflicting re ports on conditions, he ha; 1 gathered that many person: 1 not on the government pay

WAGON ROAD
 SURVEY COMPLETED

Work on the Texas Creek wagon road survey has been completed from 9-Mile to the top of the hill on the west fork above the switch-backs on the present pack trail, according to MT. F. R. Hughes, engineer of the Bureau of Public Roads, under the direction of whom the survey was made.
 The route of the proposed road as outlined to the Herald by MT. Hughes, extends north from 9-Mile along the east ban k of Texas Creek proper to point some distance above the present pack trail bridge. The survey then crosses Texas Creek westerly and extends along the north side of the west fork of Texas to the top of the hill above the switch backs, slightly more than a mile west of the old cable crossing, where it joins the present pack trail. Owing to the higher elevation attained before crossing the main stream, the survey eliminates the stiff climb up the steep slope where the switch-backs are located and follows an easy gradient throughout.
 MT. Hughes was unable to say with certainty whether the survey will be extended farther up the west fork next year. The work done this sum- mer has reached the limit of the appropriation and a new allotment of funds will be necessary to meet the cost further extensions.
 However, the fact that the survey has been started, is 6 good indication that it will be continued. MT. Hughes states that the present survey ha: covered the most difficult par of the route and no great
 amount of work would be re
 quired to run the line to the
 head of the present pack trail

ECONOMIC SURVEYS
 PROMISE AID
 TO PROSPECTORS

G. J. Shepard, metal mining assistant, U. s. Geological Sur vey field staff, left last week for his headquarters in Jun eau after completing a num- Der of geological and minera- ogical surveys on various prop critics in the district. As out lined by MT. Shepard, the sur veys made by him differ in many respects from the usual Geological Survey investigat- ions, and are of type that should be of great benefit and assistance to prospectors and miners, through enabling them to obtain an increased know ledge of character, extent and value of the mineralized bod ies found on their properties. In contrast to the ordinary ge- ological survey, designed to determine the general charact- CT of the geology and minerol- ogy of a district, the surveys carried on by MT. Shepard, known as e:Onom'c surveys, deal with individual proper tes and are made at the re- quest of the owners. As indi- cated by their designation, the main object is to determine the probable economic value of the properties surveyed. The ground is given an examination and the vein system and ore ex- posures are traced out as far as possible on the surface; and are also measured and plated. Samples are then talk en from various points on the veins and subsequently, assay ed. The latter work is done in such manner as to demon strate as closely as possible the average value of the ore. No attempt is made to place any valuation on the property or the ore bodies, the intention being merely to display the extent and assay values of the ore which can be seen. All the data obtained is set down on the plat, which thus be- comes in a great degree a com prehensive report on the sur face aspects of the property.
 MT. Shepard said that the surveys are not only design ed to assist the miner but al- 50 to provide data for govern mental use relative to the possible value of the mineral resources of the district where surveys are made. Any claim owner can make application for a survey through the Gov ernor's Office or the U. s. Geo. logical Survey branch office in Juneau, and surveys will be made wherever practic- able.
 = Mr. Shepard expects to visit the district again next summer and will welcome applications from local claim owners ln advance of his visit, in order that he may arrange hls itinerary.
