KuskOkwim Lode District Will Be Proven By Work Now Going
 On, Engineer Wernecke Asserts

In an interview accorded the Juneau Empire, some weeks ago, Livingston Wernecke, geologist and mining en- gineer for the Treadwell aud allied companies, gave the following summary of the Nixon country and of the prob lems thet face operators who are try fng to develop the district.
 "The town of McGrath, situated 570 m iles above the mouth of the Kasko- kwim river. is 70 miles below the junc- tion of the North and South Forks, the head of steamer navigation on the kus- kokwim. McGrath is at the mouth of the Tacotna river. which is 8 slow, sluggish stream, averaging 400 to 800 feet from bank to bank.
 "McGrath, although originally a fur trading post, is rapidly becoming a supply point for miners and prospect ors. Previously Ophir, then Tacotna, furnished most of the supplies to placer miners, but with the installation of a dredge at Candle creek four years ago McGrath became the supply point. k
 rYke discovery >of lodesdeposits of gold, silver and copper in 1918 on Nixon 'foTk of. the Tacotna brought additional trade to McGrath. Now, with the ad- vent of three more dredges-two on Yankee creek and one on Canes creek and the recent development of the Alaska Treadwell and allied companies on the ore properties, McGrath is about to be put on the map to stay, provided the flood waters of the Kuskokwim do snot wash the townsite down to Bethel, occurred last spring, Al though the prospects may be bright for McGrath, there is no cause at present for stampede or large influx of men looking for work. Sufficient and excel lent help is available locally and is all American.

Transportation.

Transportation to McGrath at pres ent~ is problem. Three summer and two winter routes are available. The all vs&ter summer route from Seattle to Bethel and up the. Kuskokwin is the only practical freight route. The ton- mage that .can~be carpied by this route is limited only by the size of the boats which the volume of business demands Ocean-going boats drawing l9 feet of water or less can reach Bethel, 70 miles above the mouth of the Kuskokwim. The Kuskokwim is the easiest of all Alaska rivers so>navigate; theswater is confined to one channel, containing neither rapids nor rocks. The open season for freighting is during the months of June. July. August and Sep tember.
 s'The other two routesaare via the Yukon river either down from White horse or up from St. Michael. One route leaves the Yukon at. Holy Cross, thence 4upathe eLditar0d- rirer to 1dit- |srod, thence overland 'afoos or on horse back 120 miles to Tacotna, thence down the Tacotna to McGrath. The summer route leaves the Yukon at Russian Mission, thence across portage to the Kuslzek vim at Bethel, and then up the Kuskokwim. Some of the summer mail comes over this route, and the remain der via the ecean-going boats. but all goes on the same river boat to Me- Grath.
 IA fourth summer route is being contemplated, which is via the Govern ment railway to Nenana; thence down the Tanana river, up the Kantishna river to Lake Menchumina,' across & 2O-rnile portage to the head of the
