TRUST THE COMMISSION


Promise of the state highway commission to lend all
possible aid to speeding the completion Of pavement be-
tween Imperial Valley and San Diego is pleasing
to valley residents
The 'open all year" southern route to California is
perhaps the most important major transportation art
in the state and it is essential that it should be
first class road in every way
Practically onethird Of the distance between Ell Gen.
tro and San Diego is unpaved. Ordinarily it is not
bad road but at present it is horribly "cordureyed
for the entire distance causing to motorists
and placing heavy burden on cars
This section of highway forms part of three import
ant transcontinental routes and numerous tourists
from the east use it each month in the year. Much of
their high opinion of California roads, formed by
cling between Yuma and Ell Centre is quite likely be
dispeed after humping over the mountain stretch.
Imperial county cannot complain of the attention it
has received from the highway commission during the
past five years. and is pleasing note that the
missioners thanked valley leaders Monday night for
not pestering' them with demands for immediate at
tention. sftr.
The commissioners recognize the necessity of i'm
proving the San Diego road and be depended upon
to make good their pledge to give the very prompest
attention

routes such found in parts of Imperial county,

MINERAL WEALTH IN ALASKAN RANGE |S
 SURVEYED BY CAPPS
LACK OF TRANSPORTATION FAC iLlTIES SAID HANDICAP
 FURTHER WORK

There is no doubt that the Copper Mountain in tic TcFl2t-Tonzo la re- zion of Alike is extensively miler- alized, but the work done so far is inddequa t. demonstrate wleth :. the bodies o high-grade ore would make mining profitable, says Gecio gist Stephen R. Capps of the Geoc gical Survey, Department of the h. terior, in study of the district, just made public. MT. Capps left Seward Saturday enroute to Washington, D.. c. having completed his seasons ac- tivities in Alaska.
 Sulphides of zinc, lead, iron and copper, with varying contents of gold and silver, are reported by MT. Capps. The gelena, he says, com monly carries much silver, and as- says have been obtained tha tshow more than 200 ounces of silver and s6 to s17 in gold to the ton.
 Possible development of the Tok- lat -Tonzona region is seriously ham, dicapped by lack of transportation according to MT, Capps, who explains that before branch line of the Alas ka Railroad would be justified, the presence of considerable bodies of high-grade ore would have to be established.
 No productive mining has so far been done in the region under discussion, though several lodes car rying silver. gold, lead, and copper have been staked, and some develop ment work has been done. In the Kantishna district, however, just north of this region, placer mining has been conducted on a moderat } scale each year since 1905. and the total output of placer gold to the end Iof 1925 has been about s556,00O Re- gently considerable attention has been given to the lode deposits Of the district. A large number of lodas have been staked on quartz veins carrying silver, gold, an1 lead a11 other lodes carrying promising bo- dies of antimony ore. One group of claims on Friday Creek has yielded considerable quantity of high grade silver ore, though no systematic min ing has been done. All the lode pro- spects and mines of the Kaniishna district are on veins that cut the Birch Creek schist. The schist in this area occurs only at the northern margin of the Toklat-Tonzona region and has not yet been found in the Alaska Range south of the Kantishna district. All the prospects now known along the northwest front of the Alaska Range from Muldrow GIa- cier southwestward to the basin of Ionzona River lie along the margins !of granite intrusive masses, either in the intrusive itself or in the in- vaded sediments near the granite rocks. Furthermore, rather close prospecting has failed to disclose the presence of placer gold in en- |coUraging amounts.
 Absence of Placer Gold :. Is Not Definite Sign
 The absence of placer gold, how ever, does not necessarily mean that gold-bearing lodes are not present. Glacial erosion during the last period
