Although more than 60 years has passed since Alaska, Stewards Folly" was purchased from Rus sia, says the Geological Survey, there are still large areas in that northern territory about which li- tie more is known today than be- fore the transfer to the American flag. However, it is to be remem- bered that Alaska contains 586, 400 square miles nearly one fifth the area covered by the United States itself. The task of mapping this great wilderness has been in pro- gress since 1898 by the Geological Survey, and although it is still far from completed, each year shows progress in the inventory that Un- cle Sam is making of his northern possessions.

where streams are too swift for
 boating and the only trails are
 those of the wild animals, the
 surveyor must still use the primi-
 tive methods of transport-the
 slow but sure pack horse and the
 boat dragged by hand through wa
 ter too swift for even a modern power boat. Both of these meth
 ods were used by the Geological
 Survey expedition that in 1926 un- dertook to extend topographic and
 geologic surveys into the upper
 portion of the basin of Skwentna river.
 The Skwentna is a large west ern tributary of the SuSitna river
 and drains a hitherto unexplored
 area in the heart of the Alaska
 range south and east of Rainy Pass. The party of four camp hands in addition to the topo- grapher and geologiSt, with 16 pack horses and two tons of sup plies and equipment, was divided
 into two parts. The pack train,
 with four men, was carried by launch and scow from Anchorage, on the Alaska railroad, to the west shore of Cook Inlet, to travel over a trailleSS country to the upper basin of the SkWentna river. The other men, with most of the SUD- plies, provided witt shallow
 draft boat and outboard motor, proceeded up the Susitna, Vent na, and Skwentna rivers, travel ing by the use of the motor where that was possible, and wading and dragging the boat by hand through the miles of rapids. At the point where even this kind of boating was no longer possible the two parties joined and travelled south ward up the Skwentna river into the very heart of the great noun tain range. No human being was seen during a period of over two months, and even the few signs of native camps indicated that they were 20 or 30 years old. Tn September, when the approach of winter put an end to the work, the expedition retraced it's own route to the coast.
 AS result of the seasons work about TOO square miles of hitherto territory was mapped l geologically and Geographically, and $50 square miles, previously in an exploratory way, was remapped and corrected. This i work gave a clue to the position and courses of the rivers h a Train many thousand square miles )f one of Americas great noun ain ranges, and to routes of ap- 'roach to other unexplored areas.
 The results of this exploration lave just been issued by the U. ,. Geological Survey as Bulletin 97-B, by Stephen R. Capps, in which the geography and geology f the Skwentna river country are described. The report is accom- 'anied by a map on a scale of bout 4 miles to the inch, on which the drainage and the dis ribution of the rock formations re shown The report may be from the Superintend- nt of Documents at 15c a copy.
