Geological Surveyor
Arrives for Work Here
Dave Hopkins of the U. S. Geo
logical Survey, accompanied by
his wife and son, arrived from
Manley Springs for some work in
v this area for a few days. Mr.
Hopkins will be remembered as
having been here several sum
mers, and also spent a winter in
Nome gathering geological data.
A recent publication in Science
Magazine features an article by
Mr. Hopkins, and is of particular
interest to residents here, as it
traces the history of the land
bridge that once existed across the
Straits to Siberia. His research in
this area shows how this bridge
actually existed five different
times in the history of the world,
.-and at these times, land extended
out as far as St. Lawrence Island.
