Full-Text	Surveyors Will Map Goodnews Bay Area-- Two geological survey parties under the United States Department of the Interior will leave Seattle on Saturday to make detailed topographic and geologic maps of the area south of Good- news Bay, Alaska, where much mining is now in progress. With the discovery of placer platinum in this area in 1926 the district has become one of Alaska's most active mining fields. J. B. Mertie, Jr., geologist, will be in charge of one of the survey parties, and Gerald Fitzgerald, topographic engineer, will be in charge of the other. Both groups will sail aboard the steamship Aleu- news Bay. 450 miles.
