placing caches of supplies at conven
ient places where they may be
available during the summer.
By the later part of May the ice
in the rivers will probably have
broken, and as scon thereafter as
possible J. B. Mertie, Jr., geologist,
who is chief of the party and who
will have left Washington in May,
will go to Fort Yukon by regular
lines of transportation and thence go
by canoe up Chandalar River and
join Mr. FitzGerald on the East Fork.
From then on their work will be
primarily to collect all the available
information possible regarding the
geology, geography, tonography, »nd
mineral resources of as large a tract
of country as the time at their dis
posal before the fall freeze-up will
permit. Most of their traveling in
this field will necessarily have to be
done on foot, and their main means
of transporting their supplies will
be on their own backs and those of
their dogs. They will have canoes
by which they can travel on the
larger streams, but much of the trav
el will be transverse to the general
drainage lines.
It is expected that in the course
of the work the party will go at
least far enough east to tie in with
the work done in 1926 by Mr. Mertie
on Sheenjek River and far enough
north to reach the crest of the |
Brooks Range, which forms the di
vide between the streams that flow
northward into the Arctic Ocean
and those that flow southward into
the Yukon. Possibly the work may
be extended northward far enough
to tie the surveys made by E. de K.
Leffingwell on Canning River, and
thus furnish a complete section
across the mountains in this part of
Alaska.
It is impossible to predict in ad
vance of the completion of these
surveys just what the economic
value of this expedition will be. In
fact, its main justification is to gather
authoritative data on what this prac
tically unknown country really con
tains. In spite of the lack of defin
ite knowledge of what may be found,
there is reason to believe, from what
is known of adjacent areas, that this
tract has decided possibilities of con
taining deposits of valuable miner
als. For instance, in other parts of
the mountain province are bodies of '
granitic rocks which contain metalli- j
ferous veins and from which placers
have been formed.
It is therefore highly probable that
similar intrusive rocks occur in this j
area, and ore deposits may be asso
ciated with some of them. Then
again, a specimen of oil shale from
Christian River has been tested and
found to be practically equal in its
oil content to the richest oil shales
i
on record. This river is within the
area that will be surveyed. Some
distance east of this area, on Porcu
pine River near the junction of Sal
montrout River, an oil seepage has
been reported which, if it really oc
curs at that place, is from the same
geologic formation as that from
which oil has been produced at Fort
Norman, Yukon Territory. Whether
or not this same formation extends
westward beyond the Porcupine into
the area to be surveyed this summer
is a question of considerable prac
tical importance to the development
of Alaska.
In fact, there are so many prob
lems whose solution may be aided
by this investigation that the Geolog
ical Survey feels that even the geo
graphic knowledge which can be
counted on with certainty will of
itself justify the investigation. (
Mr. FitzGerald stated Fred Clark,
who accompanied him last year, and
who is now awaiting him at Nenana,
will be a member of his party again
this season. At Fort Yukon another
man will join.
;Mr. Capps and Mr. Sargent, both •
well known in Seward, will probably
arrive sometime during <the summer.
Philip S. Smith, head of the Aalskan
surveys, planned to come north in
July.
The FitzGerald party will probably
return to some point on the Yukon
River prior ,to the closing of naviga
tion, next fall. At this time it ia
planned to return to the States via
Dawson, Whitehorse and Skagway
but if they are late in getting out
of the back-country they will pro
bably return to Seward en route
