GOLD OF ALASKA.
Agent Wells Makes a Supplementary
Report to the War Department.

Washington, ID. O., February IL
Pursuant to instructions from the act
ing secretary of war, a special supple
mentary report has been prepared by
Mr.. E. Hazard Wells, who acted as
agent for the War Department in
bringing out Captain Rays dispatches.
Mr.. Wells has been in the Yukon
country three times, has traversed in
terror Alaska in many directions and
has practical knowledge of the coun-
try that is possessed by few persons.
He says, among other things:
There are undoubtedly large depos-
its Of gold in Alaska rivaling those Of
the British Northwest Territory I
noticed excellent mineral indications
upon the Tanana river and in other
localities in 1890. l discovered a true
fissure vein of quartz eight feet in
diameter, with we'll defined casing
rocks, upon the upper Tanana. This
quartz evidently contained metal.
Specimens which | secured to take out
to San Francisco for assay were sub
sequently lost in a river catastrophe.
Numerous creeks entering the upper
Tanana revealed colors of gold in the
sands. All Of the gold-bearing streams
of Alaska SO far discovered, namely
Birch creek Miller creek, Forty Mile
creek, Sixty Mile creek and Seventy
Mile creek head in the vicinity of the
Tanana river and flow away to the
northwest On the southwestern side
and heading near the Tanana are the
noted Copper and Sushetna rivers, the
latter being the gold-bearing stream
which recently came into prominence
through the placer discoveries on
Cooks inlet. The Copper river is
popularity supposed to be located in
the heart of a mineral belt. 1t is a
reasonable deduction that if all Of the
streams flowing away from the Tan
ana to the northwest and southwest
bear gold that the Tanana itself must
cut through gold-bearing country
This opinion is shared by nearly all
of the old time miners now located in
Dawson. Recently excellent prospects
were discovered upon an American
creek, a tributary of the Yukon, in
Alaska, just below Forty Mile creek.
Miller creek, Birch creek and other
streams within the boundaries Of Alas
ka in the Yukon valley still offer in
ducements to placer miners do not
believe that any better mining region
will be discovered in Alaska than will
be found in the great Tanana valley

wrote the Paris letter. III 1913, gold was
NOT the cheaper metal. for silver had
fallen. and vet his understanding was
still that gold should redeem the obliga-
tions Of the government, because Of its
stability
How do you figure it out, neighbor,
that Grant, when he wrote his letter
CT 1878, when gold was NOT the
cheaper metal meant that gold
should redeem the obligations of the
government because OF its stability
Grant did not say So In what par
ticular quality at the time these obi
cations were made was gold more
stable than silver? At that time
silver was the dearer money metal and
never fluctuated below par Gold was
the cheaper money metal and conse-
quently excluded silver from general
circulation, and in this CHEAPER
money metal-at that time gold-Grant
in his first inaugural address, de-
clared that the government obliga-
tons should be paid because the law
named no metal in which the coin
should be paid, leaving the question to
the discretion of the goyernment-that
is, that the government should pay
these obligations in the coin most con
venient, and as gold at that time was
the cheaper metal and consequently
the most convenient, Gen. Grant advo-
Gated payment in that metal
If Grant had stood as. our gold
standard friends stand to-day, he
would have advocated payment in the
dearer metal. which was then silver.
But Grant, above all else, was an hon
est man and had regard for the plain
law and the rights Of the debtor, which
in this case is the American public.
the taxpayer
Since silver's decentralization, since
it's chief use and value as money
metal has been taken from it, it has,
very naturally, fallen in its bullion
price more than one half. Had gold
been demonetized and its principal use
outside of the arts been taken from it,
the bullion price Of it would have
fallen probably to even a greater de-
gree than silver has fallen since its
characterization in 1878. Our 'neighbor
continues:
The lender should have his pay in as
good money as he lends. NO other propo-
sitiCn would be honest. An attempt
generation later to force him to accept d
sealing down OF the amount he loaned by
compelling him to take his pay in depre-
ciated coin would be dishonest.
The trouble with our neighbor in dis
cussing this subject is that he looks
only at the creditor and entirely
ignores the rights Of the debtor.
These obligations were contracted at
a time when gold was the cheaper
money metal-was worth less than sill
yer at the ratio CT 16 to land, be-
cause it was the cheaper. was the
recognized standard, and il was for
this reason, namely, that it was
cheaper than silver, that gold alone
generally circulated. Our neighbor ad
mits these facts In this CHEAP"
metal, then, these obligations were
contracted.
Does our neighbor think since silver
has been demonetized and sold, in con
sequence, made doubly valuable and
twice as hard to get that it is honest"
