U. S. Survey Hints
Placer Gold to Be
Found i'm Alaska

d, Ambitious Washingtonians who
desire to get rich might take the
hint made in an Interior Depart
ment announcement today that geo.
logical conditions are favorable to
the occurrence of placer gold In
paying quantities in part of the re-
gion in Alaska which lies north Of
the Tanana River and near the
Canadian border.
Members of the Geological Survey
party that made reconnaissance in
that area during the. Summer are
now back in Washington and are
preparing to write their report for
publication. The party examined
the country south Of the Yukon and
west of the international boundary
and south of the Fortymlle mining
district in which many rich finds
were made during the early days Of
the Alaskan gold rush.
(. This party found much terri
tory iSe4his back country that is
geologically similar to that in which
the former paying deposits had been
=. found" the Interior Department
announced. 1T therefore sees no
reason why the chances of finding
gold in paying quantities here
should not be as good as they were
in some of those regions where the
former deposits were uncovered"
Maps to be made will indicate
these regions that are most favor
able for the prospecting for gold
from a geological viewpoint.
