GEOLOGIC REPORT OF
DENNISON FORK US,
hi non mi
The U. S. Geological Survey, De
partment of the Interior, announc- |
es the publication of a report en- |
titled “A Geologic Reconnaissance
of the Dennison Fork District, Al- J
aska” (Bulletin 827), by J. B. Mer
tie. Jr. This district includes an
area of about G,700 square miles
that forms the southeastern part
of the Yukon-Tanana province of
interior Alaska. The report de
scribes the regional geography and
geology and discusses the applica
tion of the geology to prospecting
for metalliferous ores. Topogra-1
phic and geologic maps on a scale
cf 1:250,000 are also included.
Much of this district is underlain
by ancient rocks, comprising num
erous varieties of schist and quartz
ite of sedimentary origin known as
the Birch Creek schist and meta
morphic rock's of igeneous origin.
Two other units of Paleozoic age
and a coal-bearing formation of
Cretaceous or Tertiary age consti
tute the remainder of the sedi
mentary sequence. Granitic rocks
of Mesozoic age and in part per
haps of Tertiary age also form a
large part of the regional bedrock.
Granite and quartz diorite are the
most common varieties of the deep
! seated intrusives, but basic ultra
1 basic varieties are also present.
; Quartz monzonite, which might be
; expected as a gradational phase'
i between the granite and the quartz
diorite, is scarce. Surficial equiva
lents of the deep-seated rocks, such
as rhyolite and dacite, are found
mainly in a large area surrounding
Mount F a i r p 1 a y, a prominent
mountain in the central part of
■ the district. Later volcanic rocks,
ranging in age from Miocene to
i Recent, occur mainly in a nar
row zone at the east side of the dis
trict and extend thence eastward
into Yukon Territory. The head
waters of the master streams are
extensively aggraded with fluvia
tile deposits.
The Dennison Fork district is at
present undeveloped and almost
unpopulated. It lies directly south i
of the Fortymile district, however, I
where gold placer mining has been
carried on for many years. Geo
I logic conditions in the northeast
ern part of the Dennison Fork dis
trict are similar to those in the
j Fortymile district, and this part of
j the area is therefore considered to
! be worthy of prospecting. At pres
I ent, however, this country has no
! established lines of communication,
! and only gold placers or lodes of
j high grade could be developed at
| a profit.

i Judged by the row waging be

! and the pronographers didn’t know
j what it was all about.
AN ALASKAN EPOCH
1923—the first President to see
Alaska. President Harding, spent
several weeks on a visit to and thru
the Territory. He was accompan
ied by several cabinet members, in
cluding President Hoover, who was
then Secretary cf Commerce. Pres
ident Harding drove the golden
spike, signalling the completion of
The Alaska Railroad, the govern
ment-owned line, operating be
tween Seward on the coast and
Fairbanks in the Interior.
Lesser: “I saw a woman on the
street the other day and one side
of her face was entirely black.”
Waller: “It isn’t possible.”
Lesser: “Sure, the other side was
black too.”

THE NORWEGIAN HOME
Far beneath old Peulik Mountain,
Where those brown bears love to
roam,
There’s a stately, sturdy mansion;
’Tis a real Norwegian home.
One that stands alone so nobly
In King Winter’s fiercest blast,
In this land we call Alaska,
Where the snow flies thick and fast.
And to any weary traveler
Who may pass by in his quest
Of gold or other treasures,
There’ll be shelter, food and rest, j
Tho the inmates are both aged
And their locks are tinged with grey
They still smile and toil together
Thru each blustry winter day.
Once they tramped this wide world '
over; )
But at last, they’ve ceased to roam. |
Now they wish to see no other
Than their own Norwegian home. |
May no future strife e’er sever
Ties that bind your friendship true; !
May this home, a home forever, j
Be a blessing, friends, to you.
—Bill the Bard of Peulik Mountain.!
BEAVER VISITS CITY
A live beaver was found Satur- !
day at Anchorage, roaming the;
streets. The animal was captured j
by Game Warden Conner and re- i
leased at a nearby stream. The!
warden later issued warning that
it was against the law, without a j
special permit, to remove beaver I
from their natural habitat and if:
he can find who brought the bea- j
ver in question to Anchorage, he |
will seek to give him the limit.
The statement by Arthur Bris
bane that the business man who
does not talk to his customers thru
newspapers and magazines is lag
ging behind, is naturally creating
comment. “The secret of success
is the power to convince,” is the
way he puts it, and no truer w7orris
were ever spoken.
ANNUAL MEETING SOON
i President A. D. Balderston of the
Seward Golf Club wrill shortly call
| the annual meeting to order at
! which time election of officers will
be held. It is thought that Dr. A.
D. Haverstock, vice president, will
! be elected to the presidency. Many
new members will be on the roll
this year. Work on the course wall
begin this week.
“I am just a boy 16 years old, born
in Alaska; have nine brothers and
three sisters, and all of us are radio
fans. Your programs are great,”

lad’s entire family is extended to
“Mac” and “J. P.”
Francis Leslie, son of Mr. and
Mrs. F- E. Leslie of Seward, who has
been studying civil engineering at
the Alaska Agricultural College,
will not spend his summer vaca
tion in Seward this year. Francis,
who is a graduate of the Seward
high school, has accepted a posi
tion as storekeeper at Nenana for
the summer.

station in Ketchikan to communi
cate with the land lines in Canada
and the United States, C. H. Me- :
Lean, engineer representing the j

pany, left for the south aboard the
cruiser Belmont. If conditions are
believed by the company to be sat
isfactory, equipment will be ordered ,
from Chicago and arrangements1
will be made to start setting it up j
late next month. Considerable ex- !
perimental work will be made at
that time. Temporary sites have ;
been arranged, one north of town
for the transmitting station and
one south of town for the receiving 1
equipment. If commercial tele-1
phone conversations to the south
are found practicable, arrange
ments will be made to connect the
radio telephone station with the
Citizens Light, Power & Water'
Company telephone system; so
that calls may be made from any
telephone in Ketchikan directly to
any of the 40.000,000 telephones
now connected by radio and* land
lines.

Complaint comes from Alaska
that the act enlarging the McKin
ley National Park will prove detri
mental to those persons in the park
who have mineral locations or fur
farms. There is a proviso that the
passage of the bill “shall not affect
the rights of any such claimant,
locator or entryman to the full use
and enjoyment of his land.”
