from the Hot Springs this morn

hours and forty minutes from the

reports that there is little sign of
spring along the route and there
was no bare ground to be seen
south of the Springs. It is quite
summery in the vicinity of the
Springs, however, and there are
wide patches of ground from
which the winter snow has dis
appeared. Ducks and geese are
also reported to have been com
ing in in considerable numbers at
the time lie left.
The Geological Survey Bulle
tin for March, copies of which
were received on the last mail,
states that a government geolo
gist will visit this section during
the coming summer in connec
tion with the surveys to be made
by the government. Doubtless
because the Nome section has
been fairly well covered in earl
ier years there will be no survey
party on Seward Peninsula al
though extensive geologic sur
veys will be made in nearly
every other mineral and coal
bearing section of the territory
including the Marshall placer
district and the lower Yukon- A
total of twelve parties will be in
the field during the season.

side on D street. Mr Dickson
went to Seattle last fall for the
purpose of making arrangements i
for the establishment of a herr

fhoma.' Gaffney, special go\~
:anent agent, returned to the
city last evening after an extend
d tour of the district under his
urisdiction. Mr. Gaffney has
been on the go almost continu
msiy since his departure and has
covered a wide range of territory.
Hooper Bay, some miles south
of Cape Romanzoff, was the
point fartherest south touched
t but the trip covered many in
terior points, including Marshall
lity. Andretski and other places
hi the Yukon section.
Relative to the Marshal City
camp, Mr. Gaffney says that the
place is prosperous and the out
look is for the summer very
aright. Good pay has been found
on five claims. Among those
who are in on the money is Frank
YVaskey, who has some very
good ground and intends to op
erate extensively during the open
season. Marshal has been grant
- d a postoffice but the department
efused to accept the name
of Marshal as there are a con
siderable number of towns of
that name on the department
roster. The department ordered
the citizens of the town to sub
mit a list of five names from
which one might be chosen. This
resulted in the selection of the
name Fortuna Ledge which will
be the official designation of the
postoffice there. Mr. Gaffney
says that the name of Fortuna
was suggested by Mrs. Waskey
and Ledge was offered by one of
fhe male inhabitants and it was
finally decided to combinie the
two.
Concerning tl<e trip, the re
turning official says that he was
traveling almost continuously
from the time he left here, Jan
uary 6, until his return The
weather during the journey was
average and no great difficulties
were encountered. At one point
between Kaltag and Holy Cross
he was compelled to hire a man
to snowshoe a trail for a distance
I
of 150 miles as the snow was
deep and no one had been across
that section. There are not many
white people living in that dis
trict. As far as ascertained there
were but six white men between
Ixaltag and Anvik.
The condition of the natives
along the route covered is de
scribed as generally pretty fair al
though there was considerable
destitution and suffering among
the natives of the Hooper Bay
region during the early part of
the winter. Big storms occur
ring in that section in January
were largely responsible for this
condition.
The Dureau of education did
all that was possible to relieve
the distress and the suffering
was greatly abated thereby. Mr
Gaffney says that Walter John
son, who is in charge of the!
bureau of education work in that
section is very popular and
highly regarded for his abilities j
as displayed in the work of his |
department. Aside from the
usual hardships of winter travel |
Mr. Gaffney says the trip was I
thoroughly enjoyed. The hospi- j
tality of the sourdoughs was par- I
ticularly impressive and most
hospitable entertainment was
given him at every point.
Recent arrivals on the coast
! from the Kuskokwim district are
j enthusiastic over the discovery I
, of a natural hot springs in that j
! section and are building hopes
\ of a resort the inaccessability of
which will make it an attraction
for the man with too much
money and an attack of gout,
The medical properties of the '
hot springs have been tested by
some of the settlers there and
the results are found to have
bepn most satisfactory The
wonderful spring is near Talla
wetsick river and the name ,
should aid in the advertising i
scheme which is afoot to make
the place a popular health resort.
SEATTLE POLICE MAKE

SEATTLE, May 13.—Despite
