COPPER RIVER
GOLD WORTH
PROSPECTING

WASHINGTON, July 22 (by Associ

port by Theodore Capin, just published
says that systematic gold prospecting
lin the region about the headwaters OF
the Copper, Matanuska and Susitna
rivers may be warranted when the
railway to the Matanuska coal fields
makes the region accessible.
The geology of the region does not
encourage the hope of finding placer
gold, the report says.
A report of G.. c. Martin of the Geo.
logical Survey, also just published
says Ignite coal of a good grade is q
be found in the Nenana field, which
could be used for fuel for the locomo-
tives on the government railway and
for generating power and thawing at
the gold mines. 1t could also be used
by the river steamboats,.
