 (270 m.) below. In addition, a power line 4 miles (6 . 4 km.) 

 long has been built to convey power to the mill from the 

 power line of the Northern Power and Light Company on 

 Bonanza creek. 



The total gold production from this property has so

 INTRODUCTION. 



The Juneau-Yakutat section of C 8 excursion includes 

 the steamer journey from Juneau to Yakutat bay and 

 return, and also a stop-over of two or three days at

 at close range from the steamer ; in addition it is intended 

 to land in Glacier bay for a few hours and examine the 

 front of Muir glacier. 



This excursion should prove of interest and value to 

 glacial geologists and physiographers, for possibly in no part 

 of the world can glaciers and glacial activity be as well 

 observed and on so tremendous a scale. 



The subject matter of this section is largely new 

 material but a part is condensed or abstracted from re- 

 ports by the late R. S. Tarr and the author, actual quota- 

 tions being made in a few places from our published re- 

 ports in the U. S. Geological Survey professional papers, and 

 our forthcoming book on research work in Alaska for the
