GREAT GOLD REGION,
Over Sloo,ooo,ooo in Gold Produced to
Date in Yukon Tanana Region, Alaska.

The first gold deposits found in inland
Alaska were in the Yukon Tanana region
which lies between Yukon and Tanana
rivers west OF the international bound
airy. The earliest of the pioneer prospee-
tors crossed the Chilkoot pass about 1880
and began mining in the interior of Alas
ka six years later after finding gold in
the Yukon Tanana region. Since then this
region has produced gold to the value of
about Sl00,000000 A number of reports
have been issued by the United States
geological survey, department of the in
terror, bearing upon this area and others
adjacent in the Yukon basin. and among
the reports still available is bulletin 53s,
on the portion of the regicA known as
the Circle quadrangle. This quadrangle
owes its chief present Importance TO the
placer mines, which. though worked in a
small way, have produced gold to the
value of over $4,000. 900.
The town of Circle is one OF the oldest
white settlements on the Yukon. II was
located before the surveyor had deter
mined that the town was not on the Are
tie circle, as supposed. but 80 miles south
IF it. Lest the nearness of the Arctic

neither glaciers nor permanent snow in

To these imposing figures of artillery
losses caused by the French gunners, the

OF time had the modification of adding
an almost equally large number OF losses
brought about by the wearing out or
bursting of guns. In this way 70 field

stroyed; 1874 field guns and 100 heavy
guns seriously damaged and III field
guns and 81 heavy guns slightly disabled.
The memorandum was issued to the
German army by General Ludendorfr be-
cause his artillery officers had argued re-
peatedly in favor of making counter bat

the French artillery directed their guns

tolerable. Before that time embassy PEG.
