PRIEST EXPLORES VALLEY
 OF TEN THOUSAND SMOKES

JUNEAU.-The successful ascent of two volcanic peaks on the Alas ka Peninsula and photographing of the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes by Father B. R. Hubbard was made known here in a telegram received by Sister Superior Ludovig of St. Ann's Hospital. He is now aboard the steamer Admiral Evans after an adventurous and hazardous ex- petition.
 Father Hubbard went overland into the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, officially Mt. Katmai Ma tional Monument. He climbed Mt. Katmai and descended to the bot tom of the crater. He then climbed the Niva Rupta volcano. Later he thoroughly photographed the re- zion. The smokes he said are di- minishing.
 Caught in a blizzard in Katmai Pass, Father Hubbard's party was forced to lay in their sleeping bags for 36 hours. They exhausted their food supply and lived on eagles and seals until they reached source of additional supplies.-Empire.

OSCAR ANDERSON ON TRIP
 SOUTH FROM LIZARD POST

Oscar Anderson, accompanied by his son, Hesden Anderson, arrived on the Hazel B No. Friday after noon. On account of limited space on the boats at this time, he left on the Admiral Rogers Saturday morning for Seattle, and from there will come back to Vancouver, join ing his son who got away on the Prince George Sunday afternoon.
 MT. Anderson for a number of years has conducted the Liard Trad ing Post, situated at the junction of the Dease and Liard rivers.
 Whne asked about the disappear ance of Alex Mcdonald, MT. Ander- son said that he had traced down wild rumors, one after another, and found they amounted to nothing. The only positive fact he could find was that an Indian, known as Cap tain, found a snowed-down tent, which, presumably, was McDonald's. He said he thought the Provincial Police would have their inVestiga- tion completed and would be back from that country very soon.

INDICATIONS FAVORABLE
 CHICKALOON OIL FIELD

Drilling operations at the Chick aloon camp of the Peterson Oil As sociation, which were held up dur ing the spring to permit the install lation of a standard rig and which were further delayed while atten- tion was directed to the tedious work of casing in the fractures en- countered during the winter, are about to be resumed and barring minor Interruptions such as are to be expected in drilling hard ground, the work will proceed steadily from now on until oil is struck or until 1t Is demonstrated that further drilling on the location Is not justi- liable.
 The indications have been re- garded as favorable since the com mencement of drilling and as the work proceeded there was increas- ing reason for believing that oil would be found Now that lime- stone capping has been encountered it is considered likely that another thousand feet of drilling, or less will get results. There is tremen- dous gas pressure at the present time.

NEW ENDURANCE RECORD
 SET BY ST. LOUIS PLIERS

ST. LOUIS, July 31.-The endur- ance plane. The St. Louis Robin, piloted by Dale Jackson and Forest o'Brine, landed at Lambert Field, St. Louis, at 7:3S last night after being in the air for a total of APO hours and 21 minutes. The new record exceeds that set at Los An geles some weeks ago by seven days, four hours. and S6 minutes. An im- mense throng was on hand to cheer the fliers when they came down from their sojourn of 171s days in cloudland.
 Both men were in fine mettle, de- claring they could have continued their flight indefinitely. as the mo- tor of the plane was functioning perfectly In fact, they had refused the request of their packers made earlier in the afternoon to call off the flight and it was only after a second urgent appeal had been made that they agreed to come down when their gas ran out. The record plane had flown we'll over 25,0OO miles, which is the circumference of the earth at the equator.
 Since they took to the air at 7:17 A. M. on July 19, in their attempt to set a record that will stand, the average speed of their flight was about sixty miles an hour, and a total of 3,520 gallons of gasoline was consumed, all but the first fill ing being made aboard the plane in refuelling contacts, of which there were forty-seyen during the flight. The flyers will receive about s25,000 from the Curtiss Airplane and Motor Company, manufacturers of the motor in the plane. Other money brings their joint earnings to $31,255.

ANCHORAGE WILL AGAIN
 VOTE ON ISSUING BONDS TO
 BUILD NEW SCHOOLHOUSE

Anchorage voters who have al ready voted adversely in the prop osition, will again be called upon to register their opinion as to whether the city should be bonded in a sum not to exceed S50.000 to provide funds for the building of new school house. The city count at a meeting held last week, voted unanimously to issue a call for a special election.
 A special committee appointed to make an investigation recommended the construction of a high school building similar to the one now nearing completion at Seward. The building at Seward. it is said, will cost about S46,000.
 There having been some question in the minds of the councilmen whether another election could be held under the provisions of the bonding bill passed by congress, the matter was referred to Delegate Dan Sutherland, and in his reply he gave the opinion that there is no limit to the number of elections that may be held under the terms of the bill, so long as there is no Aggression from the provisions of the measure. The delegate said that several members of the committed who had passed on the bill were of the same opinion. The special cleo tion, accordingly, will be held on August 6.

ALASKA ROAD COMMISSION FINISHES NELCHINA TRAIL
 BEGINS KUSILOF HIGHWAY

Work on the Nelchina trail, which was resumed by the Alaska Road Commission this summer, un- der the direction of Foreman Tom Dickinson, has been completed for the season and Dickinson and his crew will finish the summer in the Kusilof district, where work is to be started on the five-mile highway up Kusilof river for the purpose of providing that community with inn proved transportation facilities.
 The Nelchina trail which is to serve for both summer and winter use, has been completed to the east end of Sheep mountain, and in ad- dition to the trail building, the road crew built a substantial log shelter cabin at the Bush camp and put in a cable tram at Hicks creek Needed repairs were made to the Chickaloon cable.
 The work this summer was made doubly difficult because of the un- usual number of mosquitoes in that section. There is only one way there could have been any more bugs" MT. Dickinson declared, in speaking of the pests More might have squeezed into the district if their growth had been stunted, but not otherwise. MT. Dickinson has been building roads and trails in Alaska for a long time but the pres ent season, he declares, is the worst he has ever experienced in the way of mosquitos.-Anchora Times.

SEWARD PENINSULA MINING
 ACTIVE SAYS NOME MAYOR

The Nome camp continues to be a steady gold producer, according to A. Bahlke, mayor of the Seward Peninsula city, who is spending a few days in Fairbanks before he and Mrs. Bahlke continue their journey to the states, says the Fair banks News-Miner. Several dredges Ire digging gold from proved ground and there are many pros pectors seeking new mineral belts in addition, there are, of course, many outfits working on a small scale.
 The Hammond Consolidated Gold fields have three big dredges work ng this year. The Lomens have a gold boat on Osborn creek, the Goldsmith Dredging Company has me on upper Solomon and there are others at Casadepaga, Ophir and Anvil.
 Nome is about holding it's own as far as population is concerned. MT Bahlke said. He estimates the pop ulation at about one thousand and it is, of course, somewhat larger in summer than in winter. Business last winter, he added, was excep- tionally good for that season of the year.

R bert Frothingham, Nationally Known Author, Lecturer, Explor- CT and Biz Game Hunter, Sees Hopeful Sign in Coming ol Ad- mlnistration nlen to ,Ae AclrItory.

The coming to Alaska this sum mer Of Ernest Walker Sawyer, ex- ecutive assistant to the secretary of the interior, and Col. D. P. Quinlan, special assistant to the chiet co-or- dinator, has much significance, says the Anchorage Times, in the opin- ion of Robert Buckingham of New York, who has been in Alaska since early spring, hunting big game and gathering material for newspaper and magazine articles which he will write when he returns to the states. These visits indicate to MT. Froth- ingham that the Hoover admins tration has a real interest in the territory and is seeking first hand information which will be helpful in developing a definite Alaska policy. And MT. Frothingham is confident that whatever is done by President Hoover in Alaska will be done in a big, constructive way, based on thorough knowlegde of conditions and requirements.
 Mir. Frothingham returned to An chorage recently from a trip through the interior, having accompanied Col. O. F. Ohlson, general manager of the Alaska railroad, to Fairbanks and from there to Nome. They made the trip down river from Nenana on one of the government river steamers which operate in connec- tion with the railroad, being seven days en route to Seward peninsula. They returned by plane covering the same distance in approximately seven hours.
 On the down trip they were met at St. Michael by the cutter North land and arrived at Nome July 4, just in time for the celebration there-a celebrat tion in which the New Yorker found much to interest him. The native residents of King island had just arrived at Nome on and their participation in the cele- bration program was an important feature, jumping and kicking with both feet being one of the several interesting stunts introduced by them. They also displayed rare skill in the handling of water craft.
 Colonel Ohlson received an enthu- siastic welcome at Nome and the ad- dress which he delivered there, in connection with the celebration, made a decidedly favorable impress sion, MT. Frothingham enjoying it as much as did the people of Nome. Alaska is very fortunate, the New Yorker believes, in having at the head of the governments transpor- tation system, a man so thoroughly capable as Colonel Ohlson has shown himself to be.

DEAN PATTY IS AUTHOR OF ARTICLE IN JUNE NUMBER
 THE SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN

A very instructive article and one especially interesting from a local standpoint is "The Search for the First American" from the pen of Ernest N. Patty. dean of the Alas ka college and which appeared in the June number of the Scientific American.
 Dean Patty tells how the Yukon basin escaped glaciation during the great glacial period, probably be- cause of the fact that warm winds swept up the basin from the Yu- kon and Kuskokwim deltas. While this sub-arctic area was freed from glaciers they extended all about the basin and even reached down in- to the United States.
 This would lead the observer of the present day to expect, says Dean Patty. that 'tthe Pleistocene man. mals of the northland would seek refuge in great numbers in this pro- tected basin. Such a deduction is confirmed by the fact that placer gold mining operations beneath the stream valleys of the Yukon basin are uncovering profuse skeletal re- mains of these mammals. Undoubt- edly, during the glacial period, the valleys of interior Alaska teemed with animal life"
 The author then goes on to de- scribe the different type of bones which are found throughout th1 district and how they are located by miners. He does not believe the animals met death in a sudden cata- clysm but rather suggests that with the flooding of the valley floors and an occasional animal returning to the waters edge would become begged down in the muddy ooze Possibly this explains the abun- dance of the bones of the massive an imals such as the hair mammoth and the northern bison and the pau city of remains of the caribou, bear and horse"
 Dean Patty points out that many anthropologists believe man existed on the North American continent during the glacial period and after pointing out the facts that lead to that belief, says, with these thoughts in mind it is highly desir- able that more scientific attention should be paid to the frozen gray els and muck of the valleys of in- terior Alaska, for it is an easy mat ter without such attention to pass by positive proof of mans existence here during the glacial period, should they occur"
 His belief that the interior is a fertile field for anthropologist study is shared by the American Museum of Natural History which commissioned Peter Kaiser to col lect data on this subject. MT. Kali ser is now working in this district. making his headquarters at the col lege, and has already secured many valuable specimens. A similar line of work is being carried on in the Yukon valley by Dr. Ales Hrdlicka of the Smithsonian Institution.
