GOLD PLACERS OF
THE YUKON SECTION

a report has recently been issued by
the United states geological survey on
an Investigation Of the gold placers in
the basin between Woodchopper and
Upper Yukon. The region examined com.
prizes more than 1000 square miles and
the examination WAS made by l.. NJ.

Of Eag on the Yukon. thirty miles
above the eastern boundary OF the region.
and Circle. on the Yukon thirty miles
below its western boundary, are the
nearest settlements The northern part
of this region\is readily accessible from
the Yukon, but In the parts that are re-
munica ton are still very primitive. Trails
and winter sled roads lead up most Of the
principal creeks.
Mining was probably done in the region
ss early as 1898, but the most important
developments have been made during the
last six or seven years. The total gold
production of the region Is less than
si50.000. the greater part OF which has
come from Mineral Slilch, q tributary Of
Wood dchopper creek. and from Fourth OF
July creek. Last year about thirty men
were engaged In placer mining on the
creeks In this region.
Auriferous gravcls are distributed over
| a considerable area along Woodchopper
creek but no 9 rich q extensive deposits
