WORK DONE IN COOK INLET
Officers of United States Steamer Mc
Arthur Report Summer’s
Activity.
The Coast and Geodetic Survey
steamer Me Arthur spent the summer
in the harbor at Seldovia and Port
Graham and in Cook inlet. The re
port of the officers and engineers show
that their work this summer included
triangulation as well as hydrographic
and topograpical work in Cook inlet.
Triangulation established points on
which the survey can be continued
another season. The survey of Cook
inlet has only practically begun. Dur
ing the summer work was started at
Mount Augustine and Point Bede and
extended up the inlet as far as the
foreland, a distance of 100 miles.
There is much to be done before the
inlet can be accurately charted. Ex
tensive soundings must yet be taken.
The summer’s results include survey
ing the harbors of Seldovia and Port
Graham this work being completed.
Steamer Dora Arrives
The steamer Dora arrived from the
westward at 8 o’clock this morning.
She reports encountering some heavy
weather during the past few days of
her voyage.
The Dora’s passengers were: Miss
Lucy GolotY, Mrs. C. C. Harmon, Miss
Mary Harmon, Jack Adams W. G.
Whorf and two second class.
Anton Eide and Jerome Hachey re
turned at noon today from mile 6.
They went out after the hand car left
by Col. Revelle on his trip to Sunrise.
Owing to the snow it was impossible to
run the car beyond mile six.
Brown & Hawkins have just added to
their bank fixtures a new screen to
guard the space between the store and
the bank.

IKE INNOKO "
IS LOOKING UP
A. G. Maddeen of the Geological
Survey Reports on Prospects
of New Mining District.
i
A G. Madden of the United States
geological survey spent the summer in
the Innoko country, and in giving out
advance information from the report
that he is preparing to publish says;
“The Innoko region has all the feat
ures of a good placer field, and I think
some good strikes will be made there
in the near future.” The men on the
Innoko, he says, have experienced the
same difficulty that comes to all men
in a new mining country, they have
been short of supplies, with no means j
of transportation at hand. Supplies i
on the creeks in the Innoko cost about;
$400 a ton, and it will be seen that the
diggings will have to pay big, or the
men will have to abondon their claims
even though they are rich in pay dirt.
He thinks the output this year will
fall below the estimate, not only on
account of the scarcity of water, but
because many of the men lost time in
getting in their supplies.
Old-timers like the camp, he says,
because there is little cash in circula
I
tion, gold dust being the medium of
exchange, and where that is the case
the old-timer regards the camp a good
one.
Rich strikes in the Innoko country
is the very thing that Major Richard
son says will hasten the opening up of
the trunk line wagon road from Sun
rsie to Norton sound. And these finds
in that country show the imperative
need of such a route being opened up
to facilitate the transportation of sup
plies for miners and prospectors.
Wireless Achievement
It is reported that the Fort Gibbon
station, well in the interior and sepa
rated from the coast by a lofty range
of mountains, has received and copied
wireless messages from the steamship
Northwestern, on the ocean, distant
1,200 miles.
