FACTS ABOUT WILLOW CREEK

The sequence of events so often ob- served in the history of gold-mining camps has been repeated in the Will low creek district, Alaska. The earl jest pOspectors, in 1897, were prim- arily interested in the search for plac- CT gold and having found it were too busily engaged in mining to trace the stream gold to the veins from which it originally came. It was nearly ten years later that the first of the valu- able quartz veins that now yield most of the gold mined in the district was discovered. Since. 1906, however quartz mining has progressed stead ily and has rested upon a substantial basis. In 1918 the production of the district for the first time exceeded SlOO.OOO. but in 1914 it was almost treble that amount. Three mills are in operation, and more will soon be installed. With the increase in the depth of mining the veins show no diminution in the amount or tenor of the gold. A study of the geologic conditions in the general area leads to the conclusion that veins similar to those now worked may be found beyond the borders of the present mining district, and prospects already being developed confirm this coucIu- sion. The district lies near the route of the government railroad from Sew ard to Fairbanks, and the cheaper transportation should greatly stimu- late it's development. There is thus every indication that the Willow creek district will steadily increase ln Im- portauce as a gold-miujug camp and that it will have a long period of productiveness.
 Since the districts establishment as a gold quartz mining camp the gold placers which originally were regard ed as the only valuable gold deposits, have decreased in importance until their annual output is now small, yet under the more favorable conditions of transportation soon to be realized it is possible that placer mining may
