TWO IN BUGGED SIX
BROWN BEAR WESTWARD
Olmestead and Horton, the two
Anchorage men who arrived in Sew
ard last week from the Westward
where they enjoyed a most success
ful brown bear hunt, have returned to
Anchorage. Each got the limit,
three bears, the largest measuring 11
feet. No difficulay was had in bag
ging the powerful bruins for they
saw over SO during their various
hunts. The only experience which
jarred them from their regular poise
occured one day when they were
lugging back the skin of one of the
six bear. In passing a bunch of
alders they heard a bear snapping
ibis teeth at them. Uaving no guns,
owing to the weight of the skin,
they would have been in a difficult
position had the bear decided to at
tack. He didn’t.

BLIND SPOT LYING
WEST ALASKA BEE
STEPHEN B. CAPPS AND PARTY
DEPART FOR SEASON’S WORK
OF GEOLOGICAN SURVEY
Having for his objective the blind
spot lying west of the Alaska range
of mountains and north of Lake
Clark, including possibly a reconnais
ance as far north as the head of the
Squentna river, Stephen B. Capps of
the U. S. Geological Survey, accom
panied by R. H. Sargent and Ray Rus
sell, passed through Seward today en
route to Anchorage, where they will
be joined by Dick Dousley, packer, a
second packer and Ed Brooker, camp
man with a string of 15 horses. From
Anchorage the party will cross upper
Cook Inlet to Tyonek and from there
begin the labor of discovering a pass
over the Alaska range to the vicinity
of Mount Spur, where a base will be
established and from which the party
will conduct geological reconnais
sance in three directions. The re
gion is practically a tierra incognito,
says Mr. Capps, he being unable to
come into touch with anyone who had
visited it during his previous exami
nations in the region abutting on the
east side of the range.
Last season Mr. Capps explored the
Upper Squentna watershed from Rain
ey Pass some distance to the south,
passing over the range to the west
ern watershed to Styx river. On this
; stream he found evidences of placer
prospecting in the form of a diary
, kept on a blazed tree, showing that
the prospector had been in the region
i in 1913.
Speaking of his mission last night,
Mr, Capps said he could not say just
what value the region visited pos
sessed from a placer standpoint, al
though gold was known to exist, in the
streams traversed, especially the up
per Squentna and apparently on the
Styx, or “Sticks” river.
“There are three watersheds in the
district I will visit this summer,” said
Mr. Capps, “one leading away to the
Kuskokwim river, another into Cook
Inlet and one toward the Happy river.
The country is a blank as far as we
have any knowledge, and our mission
will be to determine its mineral pos
sibilities and gather any other data of
: value.”
! Mr. Capps’ attention being called to
! a report from Washigton that much

Interest was being directed to tin de- j
posits, said that the only known tin
deposits of importance in Alaska were 1
the placer tin regions around Ruby■
and lode deposits on the Seward pe-;
ninsula. “The lode tin is usually j
found along the rim of granitic rocks,
accompanied by fluorite,” said Mr.
Capps. “Thus far it appears that no .
one has been able to mine lode tin :
profitably, but the causes for this are !
not determined. In fact, I have not |
sufficient information to make a clear ,
statement upon the value of these de
posits.”
