LURE OF COLD
 STRONG, SAYS i. MENDENRALL
Interest in Prospect ing Widespread Through
 out Entire Country

There is greater interest today in prospecting, particularly for gold, than in a great many years, declared w. c. Mendenhall, Acting Chief of the United States Geo. logical Survey, who arrived here last night after an inspection of work in progress there by several of the Surveys parties in the in- terior. He will remain here until tomorrow, conferring with B. D. Stewart. Federal Mining Super visor and Territorial representative of the bureau.
 The interest being displayed in gold prospecting is not confined to Alaska, but is general throughout the entire country, MT. Menden- hall remarked. Gold is the one resource that the current depres- sion has actually benefited, and it is in demand.
 The Geological Survey is receiv- i-g numerous inquiries, many orig mating from the older eastern states, seeking information about opportunities in the west, particu- larly, and in Alaska, of oppor- tunities for prospecting. Many of the inquiries are from persons who have no knowledge of gold or oth- CT minerals, or of prospecting. Many of them will try their hands at the game, and the deserts of the western mining states will be invaded by persons stalking their ignorance against the knowledge and desert craft of men who have spent 30 to 40 years in the busl- ness of prospecting in those re- gions.
 There is a noticeable amount Of prospecting being done in the in- tcrior, MT. Mendenhall said. The work of field parties of the Geo. logical Survey is progressing nor mally He visited several along the Alaska Railroad where special surveys are being made with a view of stimulating mineral development in that region. He also visited the Fairbanks district and returned to the coast via Richardson Highway
