ARCTIC SLOPE NO GOOD
 FOR PkOSPECTOR
(Anchorage AiasKan)


 The country north o1 tne Alaskan aocKles, the range oI mountains whence the AIatna river has its source, oIIers little inducement to goldseekers, according to Gerald rltzGerald, assistant to Dr. Ralph smith, wno, With party of geoio- gists and topograpners is now on hls way to the ColvliIe rlver country for the purpose of exploration and chart ing.
 MT. FitzGerald was a member ol an exploration party which penetrat- CT the region yia the northern route through Wainwright last summer.
 "The only solid formation l en- countered,' sand MT. FitzGerald, be. lore departing to join Dr. Smith at Nenana, was along the rivers. This IS sandstone and shale such as ac- companies carboniferous deposits, and nowhere did see what might be termed auriferous gravels or forma- tion indicative of being gold-bearing. There is an abundance of coal and, of course, oil structure and occur rences of oil.
 'There is practically nobody in the great barren country save along the coast, where there are Eskimos, their teachrs, and occasionally fur tradrs and whalers.
 "The country north of the Alas kan Rockies is great bleak tundra, without timber save stunted brush growing in the moss. We were all ways able to secure enough brush to cook with or augment our supply of gasoline fuel which we used in the gasboat for ascending the rivers, but a man caught away from the coal regions in winter would have a tough time if he escaped with his life.
 "The country on the south slope of the Alaskan Rockies may contain gold. The rivers and creeks have an abundance of timber, such as spruce poplar and birch, growing along them, but on the other side, where explored I would advise goldseekers to keep out"
 Dr. Smith said, before his depar- ture, that he would not be authority for the statement that there was no placer or quartz deposits on the Alat- ma or its tributaries near It's source, but that it offered as much chance to the prospector as many other re- gions through which he had passed.
