ADVANCE REPORT ON
 TATONDUK.N NATION DISTRICT

WASHINGTON.-The U. s. Geo. logical Survey, Department of the Interior, announces the completion of . manuscrpt report on the Tatonduk- Nation district, Alaska, by J. B. Mer- tie, Jr. This is one of the reports re- sulting from field studies carried on during the season of 1880. The com plete report will contain a drainage and geologic map of the district, but inasmuch as considerable time will e.apse before it can be published, a brief summary of the principal re- suits of the investigation is given in the following abstract.
 The Tatonduk-Nat district is a triangular area of about 600 square miles that forms the southern part of the Yukon-P Porcupine region, of east-central Alaska. The Yukon Tan ana region contains numerous towns and mining camps and in earlier years has been completely covered by recon na;ssance topographic and geologic surveys. The Yukon-Porcupine re- zion, on the other hand, is almost un- inhabited and as yet unsurveyed.
 The Yukon-Porcupine region com mands attention at the present time for several reasons:
 l. It includes some of the best trapping country of Alaska.
 2. It is contiguous to important mineral district and may itself have \ possibilities of mineral production.
 3. It presents diversified geologic, biologic and scenic features of great scientific and popular interest.
 4. It lies between two navigable rivers, the Yukon and the Porcupine, and is therefore relatively easy of &C., cess.
 For these reasons this region is being visited more and more every year by trappers, prospectors, tourists and naturalists, and both topographic and geologic maps of the region are much in demand. The Geological Survey is primarily interested. in the mineral development of Alaska, and this necessarily involves an under standing of the regional geology. The study of the Tatonduk- Nation district may therefore be considered the start on systematic geologic investiga- tion that will eventually be extended northward to the Porcupine river.
 Geologically, as well as geograph- ically, the Yukon river in this part of Alaska forms an important boundary, for south of the river are great gran tic batholiths of Mesozoic age, where as north of the river such intrusive bodies are absent. Moreover, south of the river the pre-Cambrian rocks have been, profoundly .metamorphosed, and even rocks as young as Devonian have locally been rendered schistose, but north of the river rocks as old as Algonkian are found practically unaltered. Conditions of sedimenta- tion have also been different north of

 2. High Middle DevAnian, sahaeous and s,aty beds in the Tstonduk~Na. tion district and WoodchoEper Selean- ics farther down the Yulan
 3. Middle Devonian ahin-bedded limestone and ,shale, found in many parts of Alaska, includingkthe Taton- duk- Nation district
 4. Low Middle Devoniaa limestone the .Salmontront limestone, whose type area is in the Pomupine river district and which is alsc recognized in the Tatonduk Nation district.
 Five carboniferous formations, to- gether with Triassic, Cretaceous, and Tertiary rocks. and Qnatenary nncon- solidated deposits, are also present in the district.
 The principal igneoals rocks of this district are the pre-Canbrian lavas and intrusives. These -are for the most part normal basaltic rocks rang ing in granularity from thoroughly crystalline to glassy. Some of the in- trusive rocks contain a small percent age of orthoclase and quartz.

pre- -Cambrian dolomites, red beds, and laves and Cambro- -Ordovician limestone that have no known coun- terparts elsewhere Alaska. In ad- dition, sedimentary rocks of every geologic system except the Jurassic are found in the same general vicin- ity, so that the Tatonduk-N dis trict affords an unusual opportunity for compiling a complete geologic section. Carboniferous and younger rocks also occur in this district, but they have been rather fully described in other recent reports.
 The oldest rocks in Alaska, known as the Birch creek schist, are not present nthis district. The oldest rocks exposed are an assembligage of sediments and lavas called the Tindir group. which on stratigraphic grounds are regarded as of earlier than Mid dle- Cambrian age. The Tindir group is divided into seven units, as follows: A. Principally thin-bedded lime stone. Top of sequence. B. Principally siliceons dolomite and shale, with dolomitic conglomer- ate near the base.
 c. Upper red beds, consisting of hematitic dolomite, shale, flint, turf, and lava, with a red basal conglom- crate.
 D. Amagdaloidal lauas of green stone habit.
 K. Thin-bedded dolomite, shale, ar gillite, and quartzite with few beds of more massive dolomite and quartz ite. Also basic dikes, sills, and flows and a prominent zone of red beds.
 F. Massive magnetism limestone and dolomite.
 G. An incompletely differentiated group of thin-bedded dolomite and ar gillaceous rocks, with notable lava flows and red beds. Some of these rocks are believed to overlie unit F.
 Unit A underlies early Middle Cam brian rocks without any recognizable discordance in structure. Open fold ing, modified by later fault displace- ments, characterizes these upper beds. The lower beds are more intricately folded, but this may be matter of local variation rather than an indica tion of greater metamorphism. The total thickness of the Tindir group is estimated to be between 10000 and 25,OOO feet.
 The Cambrian section is divided into four parts, as follows 1. Upper Cambrian limestone, which grades upward without any noticeable strathographic or lithologic break into Ordovician limestone.
 2. An upper plate of Middle Cam brian limestone.
 3. A thin formation of slate and quartZite.
 4. A lower plate of Middle Cam brian limestone.
 The noteworthy fact relating to the stratigraphy of the Cambrian brought out in. this study was the recognition of the Middle Cambrian which was proved both by sthatigraphy and by fossils. Both the Middle and Upper Cambrian rocks of Tatonduk river lie in an anticline that plunges south eastward to the Yukon river. The Middle Cambrian rocks are believed to have a thickness of 1900 feet, and the Upper Cambrian limestone about 2,0OO feet.
 The Ordovician rocks ionsist of about 1000 feet of limestone, essen tially similar to the underlying Upper Cambrian limestone, underlain by 250 feet or more of graptolitic shale.
 The Silurian rocks have not been we'll differentiated in the Tatonduk- Nation district but fossibls that were collected show that both Middle and | Upper Silurian are present. The Mid

NEW YORK, May 21.-Desire to set
the vast hoard of money flowing into
productive enterprises has dictated the
formation CT the new body, headed by
Owen D. Young, chairman Of the Gen
eral Electric Co., and comprising num-
ber of the Nations leading financiers
and industrialists 1t is hoped that this
imposing committee will draft pro-
gram that will carry out the recovery
campaign set in motion in Washington.
What form the work will take has not
as yet been announced. In any event,
it looks as if the United States is to OBJ
tain a Young plan similar to the one
given Germany some two years ago. 1t
is sincerely hoped that the Young plan
for America will prove of a more last
ing character at home than did the
Young plan abroad.
Observers in close touch with the
committee feel that its organization
constitutes a step in the right direction,
since the release of funds awaiting en-
ployment may conceivably bring back to
work hundreds of thousands of unem-
ployed.
1t is, of course, to be expected that
provision will be made for the placing

WINTER WHEAT YIELD
FORECASTS REDUCED
Crop Is Expected to Total Only
About Half of 1881
Harvest.
BY JOHN p. BOUGHAN,
Associated Press Market Editor.

CHICAGO, May 2l.-Suggestions
came today from authoritative trade
sources that the United States 1892
Winter wheat yield will amount to only
about half the 1881 harvest.
The prospect of such an abnormally
curtailed output of Winter wheat is as
sociated with what happened in pre-
vious years when conolUlonS were SINH
lar to those which now exist. On this
basis, a crop is reckoned of somewhat
under 13 bushels an acre, and would
mean roughly 400,000,000 bushels, a
total 40,000.000 bushels less than the
latest official estimate.
Compared with week ago, wheat
prices this morning showed l SAB cents
a bushel advance, with corn l4a12s up,
oats unchanged to 1saA higher, and
provisions at a rise of 7 to II cents.
1t is pointed out that normally, when
there has been big abandonment OF
Winter wheat, the crop condition in
May will average somewhat better than
in April, owing to disregard of poor
acreage. However, such was not the
case this season, the May condition
being practically identical with that OF
April. A parallel state of affairs de-
veloped in 1904, year in which April
and May reports showed the crop con-
dition at 76.5 per cent, or slightly bet
ter than this year, and the harvest was
124 bushels an acre, rate even less
than is now suggested for 1882.

SECOND MORTGAGE
MONEY IS SCARCE
Prohibitive Charges for Use
OF Funds Handicap Home
Owners.
BY CHAS. p. SHAEFFER,
Associated Press Business Writer.

The Presidents conference on home
building and home ownership declares
that second mortgage financing is a
real problem" that confronts the home
owner.
Asserting there is not only a scarcity
of second mortgage money, but the
home owner often is compelled to pay
bonuses of 18 to 20 per cent for the
use of this money, the conference said
there are good reasons for believing
that the greatest hindrance to the
sound development of home ownership
in this country is the lack of well
organized second mortgage service which
can be offered at a reasonable cost.
The salient reason offered by the
conference as to why capital does not
flow into the junior financing field
was the hazards incident to this type of
investment. The interest of the pur-
chaser of the second mortgage always
is junior to that of the first and in the
event of trouble, the conference point
ed out, the second mortgage is apt
to find himself in the situation where,
to protect his investment he has to
keep the first mortgage in good stand
ing, pay the taxes and carry the prop
erty until he can dispose of it.
Then, too, it said, in the event Of
a decline in real estate values for
various reasons, such as a change in
the type of people living in neigh
borhood or general economic conditions,
the indebtedness might exceed the de-
creased value of the property, and again
the Junior mortgage has the property
on his hands If he is going to protect
what remains of his investment. The
usury laws were also cited as a con-
slant threat to many potential in
vestors, even though they are circun1-
vented continually.
AS a result of these and other haz-
ards, capital is timid about going into
the second mortgage field, the confer
ence declared. and when investors are
willing they insist upon return which
they consider commensurate with the
risk.
A great many second mortgage COM
panies which were operated on purely
commercial basis were found to have
failed to weather the economic strain.
The companies which have survived ap-
pear to be those which do not as rule
lend above rs per cent Of the appraised
value, it was said.
"It is plain that whereas the ex-
orbitant rates paid by home owners
for junior financing are imposing an
undue hardship upon them, they were
insufficient to insure the success OF
second mortgage companies generally,
the conference concluded.

EFFECT OF TARIFFS
ON IMPORTS SHOWN
Little Change in Commodity Move
ments Caused by Rates on
Various Items.

BY the Associated Press.
An analysis by the Commerce De-
partment of foreign trade imports dur
ing the first quarter of 1882 discloses
that tariff rates had but little effect on
commodity movements.
Imports during the first quarter of
the year had total value Of 1897 ,800.-
600 as compared with S568,3O0 900 dur
ing the corresponding period of last
year, or a decline Of 80 per cent.
Imports of commodities which were
on the free list amounted to S267 ,700,-
900 as compared with 1897, 400 900 dur
ing the three months last year, or a de-
cline of 309 per cent. On the other
hand, the dutiable merchandise incom-
ing during the quatter this year
amounted to sl30,2o0,000 as compared
with s180,900 900 during the same
period last year, or decline of % per
cent.
Free imports during the first quarter
this year were responsible for 673 per
cent of all incoming shipments as COM
pared with 68.2 per cent last year.
During the period this year total of
207 dutiable articles for which both
quantity and value are available showed

ent crisis. The worldwide collapse OF
credit and the steadily growing number
of countries and political subdivisions
which find it necessary to default have
so greatly reduced the purchasing power
of the masses that despite the prevail
inc low price levels, buying has been
seriously curtailed.
1t has become apparent that some
thing will have to be done to restore
the buying power, not alone OF the
American people, but of Americas
neighbcrs. Unless this is done, plans, nc
matter how carefully prepared, are not
likely to bring about more than transi-
tory improvement.
The ides Of June are drawing nearer.
Theoretically, the United States is not
interested in Lausanne, but if nothing
is done by the United States in regard
to the problems scheduled to be taken
up there the international outlook will
continue as clouded as before, and the
effects upon Americas own economic
structure are not likely to be very sat

Trading in Stock
Market Reveals
Heavy Shrinkage
Total Transactions to Date
This Year Only l45
Million Shares. sS.s-
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 21.-Any analysis
OF the present state of the stock market
which fails to take into account the
low ebb of speculative activity is in
complete. In round numbers, trans
actions for the year to date total 145-
900, 900 shares Up to the same time in
1881 the amount We 260, ,000, 900 shares,
or, roughly, a falling of Of As per cent.
In part, at least, this falling off in
volume is responsible for the fact that
the market has made such poor re-
sponse to what seemed to be on the
surface constructive developments. There
is an almost entire absence of public
interest, as any tour Of brokerage Of
fees will demonstrate; professional
trading has decreased in quite as large
proportion and the daily transfers are
predominatel yof the in-and-out va
riety. What the market needs is more
speculation, for a recovery cannot be
initiated or even sustained by invest
ment buying alone.
Of course the reasons for this
lethargy are well known. The short
side offers little attraction with prices
as low as they are. An increase In
the short interest would help because
it would involve large-Scale covering
on the appearance of any such an
nouncement as was made yesterday
regarding a concerted movement to
free banking credit. On the other
hand, operations for the rise have been
checked almost invariably by the ap-
pearance Of liquidation, unexplained
and unexpected.
The attitude Of the banks is another
deterrent. So far their one ambition
has been to liquidate loans collaterally
secured. The suggestion has been made
that some of the surplus credit now in
superabundant supply should be used
to provide means for investment pur-
poses in sound stocks. This would be a
complete about-face on the part of the
banking element, but there is no rea-
son why under proper restrictions, it
should not be adopted. Nothing would
serve to restore market confidence
more than liberal policy along this
line
Still another reason for market in
activity is the Stock Exchange investi-
cation now in progress in Washington.
No one denies that the practices re-
vealed, as for instance in the notorious
Radio pool, should be made impossible
in the future, but discussion of them
now is no help to recovery in prices.
