Nsecvered ~ thc SOCIOLOGICAL Survey.
WARRINGTON, Jan. 14.-An interesting report,
made by Director walcott Of the Geological
Survey. showing the presence Of an enormous
gold belt In Alaska, has been forwarded to tho
House OF Representatives by the Secretary OF tho
Interior. The report tells tho story Of an expe-
dition that was sent out b. the Geological Sur
vcy TO determine the gold and coal deposits
along the line OF the Alaskan coast. A second
expedition followed in May, 1900. going to the
gold fields Of the Yukon River to investigate the
report that there were large placer deposits
along the stream beds. The party travorsed the
valley OF the Yukon from the British boundary
on the east to the mouth OF the river on the
west. All OF the we'll known placer deposits
were examined. and tho origin OF tho gold in
them was traced to tho quartz veins along tho
hendwaters OF the various streams entering the
lish the presence Of q gold belt 800 miles in
length in Alaska, which enters Alaska near the
mouth OF Forty Milo Creek. and extends west
ward across tho Yukon Valley At the raniparts.
Its further extent Is unknown.
II 10 the opinion Of the Geoogist In charge of
tho expedition that IL 10 entirely practicable to
prosecute quartz mining throughout tho year
In this region. He also discovered along the
river areas Of considerable extent of rocks con-
taining hard bituminous coal.
The director thinks In view Of these facts that
q Reconnaissance map should be mado of tho
gold and GOAL areas In order to secure an tntelli-
gent conception OF the resources Of tho interior
OF Alaska, and for this purpose he asks an In
mediate appropriation Of $4,000.
