GOLD IN INNOKO DISTRICT GIVEN

ground.
 The area of economic importance lies near the headwaters of the Innoko,
 in region of low mountains, and paying quantities of rlacer guld have been found on Canes, Little, and Ophir creek, all tributaries Of the main river. T he gold occurs in the present stream gravels and in bench gravels averaging about 60 feet above the streams. Gane Creek is large stream with ample water for hydrau- licing, though the grade is such that the trailing would have to be elvated or disposed of by some mecha neal means. The other two streams are smaller and there is some doubt whe- ther they contain enough pay gravel to justify the expenses of bringing water for hydraullcing from a dis tance. However, con prehens.ve scheme promises most for working the deposits of this district with the great est possible profit. Such scheme would involve thorough prospecting of all the gold bearing ground under expert supervision, the bringing of water from considerable distance, and the consolidating of all property
 interests, that the last item would be considerable undertaking is indicated by the fact that about 1900 placer min ing claims have been recorded in the Innoko precinct. The claims are loca- ted on nearly every watercourse within the valley.
 The total gold production of the precinct for l907-S is estimated at $55, 200 of which the season of 1908 is credited with SIP, loo. Four claim have produced more than BIO, GOO each in a single season, but none has reached $20, 000. The Innoko placer gold is very pure, it's fineness being about 0. 9lo.

Since the disco, cry of placer gold in paying quantities on the head waters of In noko River, tributary of the Yukon, in 1906, that part of Al aska has recieved more attention from prospectors looking for new fields than any other district in the Yukon Valley. During the last three years probably 1900 men have visited the [nnoko country. A preliminary paper on this district, by A. c. Maddren, appears in the United States Geologi- cal Surveys Bulletin 379. The volume for 1908 in a series of annual reports on investigations of the mineral resources of Alaska. A more detailed report is in preparation and will be issued later IS a separate bulletin.
 The Jnnoko is about 800 miles long and drains an extensive. moderately mountainous area between the Kaiyh and Kuskokw i'm mountains, which seperate it from the two largest rivers in Alaska-the Yukon and the Kuskok- vim, on the northwest and southeast respectively. The placer diggings are accessible in summer by way of these two rivers the Kuskok kwim route being considered by Mr. Maddren the better, as it involves but one transfer of freight. This route, however, requires an overland haul of B miles, from the forks of the Takotna. tributary of the Kuskok vim, to Ophir, on the Tnnoko. The winter routes to the val lev are much shorter, as it's lower portion is then frozen over. In this reigon, as in many other art of Alaska, the expenses of operating are very high as direct result of poor and inadequate transportation facilities.
 Gold occurs in the Innoko country in placer deposits and possibly in lodes, though so far the only nroduc- tion has been derived from the placer.
 These are all comparatively shallow
