investigations to be carried on there when a map is available.
 Little Known Field
 In the northern part of the Cop per River Basin, including part of the high mountains of the Alaska Range and extending northward so as to include portions of the valleys of streams tributary to the Tanana River, Is a large tract of country whose general geologic features and mineral possibilities are but little known. Fred H. Moffit will con- duct geologic Investigations in this region during the coming field sea- son. This work will be a continua- tion of work started in 1929 by MT. Moffit but temporarily discon- tinued in 19SO because of pressure of other duties. The region is of special economic interest because valuable mineral deposits are al- ready known in nearby areas.
 Special Problems
 Ever since the earliest investiga- tions of Alaska's mineral resources Geological Survey parties have trav- eased parts of the great belt coun- try lying between the Yukon and Tanana Rivers. The diverse re- ports from these various parties, working under different conditions and with different points of view, have furnished large volume of technical data that requires co-or- dination and reconciliation to cur rent knowledge. For several years the task of thus co-ordinating all the observations in this region has been in progress by J. B. Mertie, Jr., and that task is now approach ing completion, but before it is finished certain special problems re- quire further field consideration, and in order to get the needed sup elementary data MT. Mertie will visit as much of the western part of this region as is practicable dur ing the season.
 Tikchik Region
 The mapping project in the Tik- chik region is 8 continuation of work started in the same general region in 1880, where the Wood River and Lakes and the southern part of Nushagak River Valley were mapped. The current seasons work will be directed toward the northern part of Nushagak Valley and the Tikchik Lakes and surrounding country. It is proposed that this year, in addition to topographic mapping, the party will also carry on mineral Investigations and gen. eraI geologic work. General di- rection of the field work on this project will be in charge of Gerald

SALVAGER BELIEVES
 GOLD BOAT FOUND

SAN FRANCISCO, May 16-The steamship Rio De Janerio which sank off Golden Gate in 1901 With a load of bullion valued at S5,0OO,000 has been located by Charles Haskell, San Francisco salvager, according to notice posted with the recorder here.
 Haskell claims the boat and all it's contents as her personal prop erty by right of the salvage law. He refused to disclose the exact location.

 2 Coal Leases
 That part of the work connected with mineral-leasing activities in Alaska which is assigned to the Geological Survey and supported by a separate appropriation centers largely around coal leases in the fields adjacent to the Alaska Rail road. It will be continued along lines essentially similar to those that have been followed for the past few years and will be performed by B. D. Stewart and J. J. Corey.
 The chief Alaskan geologist, Phil ip S. Smith, will spend as much of the open season as practicable in the field in Alaska, with the object of obtaining information about re- cent mining developments through out the Territory, for the purpose of preparing the Geological Surveys annual report on the mineral in dustry of Alaska for the current year. He will visit such of the aforementioned parties as can be readily reached and will examine the larger producing mining camps and such of the smaller ones as have not been recently visited by Geological Survey parties, so far as time and other conditions permit.

WAR ON MOSQUITOES WAGED
 IN FAIRBANKS AREA

FAIRBANKS-War against mos quitoes in the Fairbanks area will be waged this summer by the United Statel government. The fight will be directed by the Bureau of Entomology, Department of Agriculture, whose interest was aroused by O. J. Egleston, general manager of the Fairbanks Explora- tion Company, which conducts ex- tensive mining operations on creeks, near here. The mining company has made an appropriation for the work, and the Bureau of Entomol- ogy win send experts to inaugurate control methods. Mos quitoes have already made their here this season.

will be a continuation of that un- dertaken as an outcome of the two aerial photographic expeditions of the Navy Department in 1926 and 1929, whereby photographs of prac- tically the entire panhandle of southeastern Alaska were made. The general program for this major proj- ect requires as a first step working up the photographs in the office so as to prepare drainage maps of the country. These drainage maps are then used in the field by a topog- -rapher as a base on which to show the height of the hills, valleys, and other natural features, so as to pro- duce a complete topographic map. The field work on this project this season will be done in the vicinity of Wrangell and will carry north ward the topographic surveys that were completed in the neighborhood of Ketchikan and Cleveland Penin- sula in 1880. This work will be done by R. H. Sargent, assisted by V. s. Seward, and it is expected that the party will map an area of a thousand square miles on a scale of about miles to the inch.
 Juneau Region
 Detailed plans for the mining in vestigations in southeastern Alaska have not yet been completly formu- lated, but they will correspond in general character with those that have been made in that region in the past. They will in the main be concentrated in the northern part of the region, especially covering recent mining developments in the Juneau and nearby areas. This work will be carried on by B. D. Stewart from his local headquarters at Juneau.
 The work in the Glacier Bay re- zion has been planned to bring to completion project which was started some time ago but had been laid aside and will be directed toward furnishing information re- garding the general geology and mineral resources of this region. The party incidentally should obtain much information regarding ad- vances and retreats of the glaciers of the region that will be of con siderable scientific importance. Through cooperation with the Bureau of Mines it is planned that c. W. Wright, who is now mem- Der of that Bureau but started this work as a member of the Geological Survey, shall have the principal direction of this project.
 Klutina Lake Country
 In the Klutina Lake country, which lies south of Copper Center and west of the Government road the Richardson Highway, which runs from Valdez into the interior of Alaska-is a tract of several thousand square miles much of which lies in the rugged mountainous country. In this district topo- graphic party in charge of c. F. FuechseI will conduct reconnaissance topographic surveys during the sum- mer of 1881 as a basis for mineral

KINGS EXPECTED AT FORESTER

Recent arrivals from the once famous fishing grounds around For rester Islands, report that there is no run of kings showing up at that place as yet. The king salmon de- serted Forester some years ago, due, it is thought, to some change of the currents there. For the past couple of years they have been showing signs of returning to their old route, and many of the trollers have pre- dicted a good run at Forester and Lowrie Rocks for this season.

grave several weeks ago and he
had been unconscious several days
