Bulletin Describes
Great Gold REGION

From bulletin just issued by the
United States geological survey, of
which George Otis Smith is director,
the following concerning the Alaska
gold region is taken:
THE first gold deposits found in
inland Alaska, We're in the Yukon
Tanana region, which comprises an
upland diversified by broad valleys,
stretching westward from the inter
national boundary to the great bend
of the Yukon. The earliest of the
pioneer prospectors crossed the Chill
koot Pass about 1880 and six years
later began mining in the interior of
Alaska after finding gold in the
Yukon-Tanana region. Since then
this region has produced gold to
the value Of about $S3,000,000. The
United States Geological Survey be-
gan it's survey of this field, which
embraces some 10000 square miles,
in 1898. With the issuing of the
report on the portion of the region
known as the Circle quadrangle,
published recently as Bulletin 53S,
geologic and Topographic reconnais-
ton of the mineral resources of this
area, became available
THE town of Circle, from which
the report takes its name, is one of
the Oldest white settlements on the
Yukon. 1t was located before the
surveyor had determined that the
town was not on the Arctic circle,
as supposed, but so miles south of
it. Lest the nearness of the Arctic
circle be regarded as indicative of
| ice and snow, it should be noted
that there are neither glaciers nor
permanent snow in the Yukon-Tana
ma region. 1t is, indeed, land OF
fertile valleys and grassy slopes
and during the short but warm sum
mers vegetation thrives, many grains
can be ripened, and vegetables grow
luxuriantly. OF course, the establish
ment of adequate railroad transpor
tation facilities may be expected tc
greatly develop this entire region
THE Circle quadrangle owes its
chief present importance to the plac
er mines Of the Birch creek district
which though worked in only g
value of nearly $5,O00,OO0 Bulletin
53S was written by L. M. Prindle
Of the Geological Survey, and g
copy may be obtained on application
to the Director of the Survey al
