| employment. however, it may be said
that the field at this time is limited.
and it would be better to defer a
trip to the interior until next sum-
mer.
The climate of the Tanana Valley
has been proven to be conducive to
the best of health, for the death rate
in Fairbanks is abnormally low, prob
ably smaller than that of any other
city in the United States, while the
health and robustness of the children
| is matter of comment by all visi-
| tors. The summers are almost per-
lection itself. while the winters, al
though somewhat longer than on the
coast, are hardly any more severe
than those of Minnesota and other
western states. Wind in the winter
time is a rarity and the blizzard is
unknown. Only during three months
of the year, as a rule, is the average
mean temperature down to zero,
while during the five months of
summer the average mean is 80 de-
grees and over.
Vast fields of auriferous gravels
time by the pick and shovel meth
cd, lie adjacent to Fairbanks and a
new era of mining was inaugurated
this summer by the arrival of the
first dredge. Others are ordered
that dredging and hydraulic opera
and in year or two it is certain
operations will be under way or a
very large scale. A railroad, besides
numerous good trails, connects Fair
banks with the neighboring creeks
and the problem of transportation,
which in the early days of the camp
proved so much of handicap. has
been successfully solved.
Very considerable success has at
tended those who have given their
attention to agriculture, and tAera
now remains no doubt that the Tan
ana valley will shortly produce grain
grasses and vegetables amply suffi
cient fir the large home consump-
ton.
With electric light. steam heat and
| telephone service in stores and resi-
dences, an excellent school system,
! five churches, two completely equip
ped hospitals, and large number of
up-to-date stores, Fairbanks offers
advantages to the homeseeker such
as he could have no reason to eX-
pect under such conditions. 1t is
also essentially a city of homes,
very large percentage of the popu
lation owning their own places of
residence. Varied forms of amuse-
ment and entertainment serve to
while away the long nights of win
ter, while in summer the holidays
are observed with sports and games
to an even greater extent than per-
tains in the states. A commercial
Club has recently been organized in
Fairbanks, OF which R. S. McDon-
aid is the secretary, and anyone
wishing further information regard
ing that city or the Tanana Valley
should write to him.

During the past six years the
Tanana Valley has produced about
fifty millions from its placer mines,
and it has become, on this account.
famous the world over. Today, al
though it's placer production may
be supposed to have passed it's zen
it'll, it is still enriching the worlds
treasury to the extent of nearly five
millions a year Before this output
is materially decreased. it is con-
fidently believed there will be hum
| dreds of stamps at work on the ores
that are every few days being dis
covered in the hills, and it will not
be surprising if the united output of
hard rock and placer gold will. in a
few years, again reach the ten nil
lion dollar mark attained in 1908
and 1909.
A pamphlet descriptive of the dis
trict issued by the Fairbanks Cham
Der of Commerce in the fall of 1908
contained absolutely no reference to
the possibility of quartz being found
in the neighboring hills, and yet it is
fact today that a three-stamp test
mill, ten-stamp custom mill and
three five-stamp private mills are in
stalled and it is expected that others
will be ordered Immediately. Mill
runs so far made have shown that
the ores from the great mineral zone
which cuts the producing placer
creeks have values running from SIS
to $3.50 to the ton, and conserva-
tive estimate would place the average
value at close to 500 to the ton.
Most of the properties opened to
any considerable extent have prac-
tically paid from the grass roots, and
it has only been on this account

sible, for very little capital has been
available for their working. The
belt in which all of the quartz To-
cations have been made is almost
unanimously designated by experts
as the most highly mineralized zone
they have ever seen, and yet there
remains, unquestionably, scores of
leads to be discovered. Experience
has proven that quartz operations al
most invariably follow those of the
placer miner, the value of the hard
rock found usually being proper
tionate to the richness of the placer
workings. The creeks cut by the
Fairbanks mineral zone have already
yielded fifty millions and there is
every reason to suppose that only
1.-THE of the treasure of the hills
has found it's way into the creek
channels
Fairbanks offers many opportuni-
ties to the prospector and the man
who has sufficient capital to &C
quire interests and help develop the
properties as they are discovered.
To these men no better field is open
and they will find that an inspection
of the country will be time well
spent. Practical miners will at once
find themselves at home here. To
