Transportation Facilities
 of AQaska'S Great Interior

From all points of view, whether it be taken from summer or winter standpoint, the town of Tana- ma, at the junction of the Panama and Yukon rivers, can be said to be the center of transportation of the Interior part of the Territory of Alaska Especially is this true in the summer when all boats operating on the Yukon river and to all points on the Tanana river, bearing freight from the Outside, must pass by Panama.
 The town in also located on the military trail, kept up by the gov ernment for winter travellers, and which runs from the Eastern bOun daries of the Territory to St. Michael on the western coast. A branch of this trail also runs up the Panama river through the Hot Springs min ing district, to Fairbanks. Very little freight is carried over the winter route, which serves principal ly as a highway for mail carriers and winter travellers.
 One of the enterprising citizens of Panama, who has the welfare of the community generally at heart and who is long time resident of the town, has kept a chart pertain ing to all things nautical regarding Panama. This chart shows the dates of the opening and closing of the Yukon river in front of Panama for every year since 1900. It also shows the number of boats passing through Tanana every year since 1905, giving the place from which they came each trip, the names of their masters and their destinations. Along with the record of boats an other chart is kept every summer which shows where each boat, be they operated by corporations or individuals, is running each day, These facts, while not very inter esting from point of mention. are very useful as references and to travellers.
 During the season of 1905. 226 boats passed Panama. Several of the steamers, of course. made as many as twenty trips into Panama during that year. The record shows that the highest number of trips made through Panama was in 1906. when 23O boats made port here. In 1907 the number of trips was 225; in 1908, 195: in 1909. 195; in 1910, 176: in 1911, 173: in 1912. 158; in 1913. 173 Up until August 1. 1914. 174 boats had made port at Panama. In the early days of Panama d great number of the steamers oper- ating on the Yukon and Panama rivers were owned and operated by l corporations. However, an even

and Fairbanks on sleds drawn by horses, but dogs are used on the up- per and lower Yukon trails, and on the trail which leads to the koyukuk country In fact the dog team is the only means of carrying freight and mail to the otherwise almost inac- cessible parts of the mining sections lying at the head of a number of the Yukon tributaries, in the winter.
 Taken all in all the transporta, tion facilities of the Interior While the best obtainable at the present time, could be improved upon even as they now are, although the navl- gation company's schedule of boats in the summer fills all of the re uuirements of the traffic. However, Alaskans are never satisfied with what they get. especially in the line of transportation. as they are our after the best there is, all of the time and are willing to pay for it whenever they can get if. The petl- ton of the Koyukuk people for new summer trail to lead from Tana- ma to Wiseman, and for the establish ment by the government of wire less station in the koyukuk coun- try, are two of the best examples or what the people of the district eX- pect the government to do for them.
 Mention might be made of the fact that Panama has weekly mail ser vice both to and from Dawson and Fairbanks and is the junction point at which all transfers of barges and freight for Fairbanks are made.

MINERAL RESOURCES.
Prospects.


 Placer gold is apparently widely distributed in the Yukon-koyukuk region, but the deposits have thus far shown little economic importance. Gold prospects have been found on a number of northern tributaries of the Yukon from Morelock creek westward to Melozitna river. A little desultory mining has been done on Morelock and Grant creeks, but the production from this whole section of the region has been negligible. Active placer mining on a small 1911 on Indian river in the north ern part of the region. A little gold has also been recovered from the south bank of the Koyukuk at a place called Red mountain few miles above Hughes. Gold is said to occur also on some of the south ern tributaries of the Koyukuk be- low Indian river.
 There are no gold lode mines in the region and but single prospect. This prospect is on the north side of the Yukon near the bank, about 20 miles below Panama, and has the distinction of being the first attempt to open a lode mine in tte Interior of Alaska. It was opened about 1890 but was abandoned soon aferward

INDIAN RIVER GOLD PLAcERS.

The gold placers of Indian river are all on the main northern head water stream from 8 to 5 miles be- low it's sources More or less min ing has been done on 13 different claims, but the profitable placers are restricted to five or six claims A little gold has been recovered also from Black creek, southern tri- butary of Indian river above the workings
 The gold-bearing deposits of In dian river are almost entirely in the immediate bed of the stream At one place the pay streak is under the east bank of the stream for a distance, but the deposit is on a level with the stream and does not indicate a true bench deposit.
 The auriferous gravels are 2 tC 6 feet deep and have an average width of about 50 feet. The bed rock throughout the area of profit able placer ground is granite and the deposit is made up chiefly o1 granite sands and residual powders from local sources. The powders are a product of concentric weather ing in the granite rather than oi water wear. They have been con centrated in the stream bed by the flow of waste from the hillsides un der frost action and the removal of the finer materials by the stream The powders make up most of the deposits and are hindrance to economic mining.
 Gold was first discovered on In dian river in 1909 by a native He gave information of his discovery to J. c. Felix. a white prospec' tor, who visited the locality in 1910 and struck pay dirt late in the sum mer The summer of 1911 witnessed the first actual mining in the dis trict when four claims were work ed by 10 men and nearly $10.000 worth of dust was produced.
 In 1912 seven claims were worked by about 20 men. with reported production of $25,5O0.
 In 1913 work was being done on 13 different claims by about 35 men Little besides prospecting was ac complished, however, until late in the summer, as the stream was al most dry on account of the pro longed drought. Up to July "A only $8,7OO had been produced. Work later in the summer was more sue ' cessful and a total production ol $31,952 was reported for the season

More Dairy Cows.

During the past few days there has
been large number of dairy cattle
shipped into this place, and there are
still more to come, and most of these
will be disposed of to the settlers, and
on easy terms. Someone suggested
they were of the opinion that the
dairy cattle business was being over
done. If they would stop and con-
slider the question for minute they
could readily see that it is a business
that is very hard to oyerdO, and one
in which the farmer stands very little
or no chance of losing He may pay
most any price for cow, but if he
keeps her she will pay ont in time.
Those who have been milking a
number of cows during the past Win
ter have been we'll repaid for their
work, and although number OF them
had long haul with their cream the
prices have been good, and they are
not in debt to the extent of some who
have done nothing along the dairy

Stout on Suffrage.

Congressman Tom Stout, of Mon
tana, believes that the woman suf-
frage cause will be successful in that
state. Congressman Stout speaks in
very high terms of the women who
are handling suffrage, saying that
they have been able to bring about a
vote on the subject by the able man
ner in which they presented their
GLAZING. Mr.. Stout was member Of
the state senate of Montana, and in
PRODUCED the resolution providing
that the amendment permitting wo-
men to vote should be submitted to
the people.
"There is no question as to where
stand on this subject, said the Mon
tana congressman to representative
OF the congressional committee, "as
presented the resolution and urged
its passage. My work in congress
naturally prevents me from taking as
much interest in the campaign as |
would if | were in Montana, but it
looks to me as If the amendment
would carry. The labor organizations
and workingmen are generally favor
able to the suffrage movement, and
although a wet and dry fight has
developed, there is Il prospect that
the good work the sutfragists have
been doing will result in victory.
Zone reason why think the suf
fragists will win is because they have

national call of our President and as
sembie in our churches for prayer. The

The people of our parishes should Join
