The accord deals only with the ques-

 For the last 20 years, ever since prospecting has been carried on 10 any extent in this dictrlct, Sparkling has lam idle. Now and then, some ambitious prospector would stop and sink Q few holes, after which, unsat- isfed with the results, he would abandon the creek and move on. Lay of Spauld-ag, became the by-word::
 Sc ascae had already constructed 6 dit-h line when Nlbe 6 Schwals- 6aU took over the ground. They started to work sluicing and made t pay n a small way, and did enough to show that the money was there f capital could be raised to work t In the manner t should be worked
 After the ground was proven, II was only Q small matter to get the backing 10 install modern equipment. 4 Bucyrus Erie drag-line, with yard and a Quarter bucket was ship ped up and moved in lat sumner,
 The equipment was moved In and installed n tzme to get in g shifts on the latter end Of the season, nat netted S32.000 worth of virgin gold.
 Nibe and Schwalsdal are on the job this year with one good cleanup behind them and a promise of five or six mora before the end of the sea son.

 During this period 24 F million dol lars have been expended for the con struc1ion and maintenance of roads, trails, bridges, aviation fields, cable ways and shalter cabins
 More Than 1000 Miles in Roads
 The existing system now includes 2.03B miles of road, 30 miles of mar row gauge railroad. I $50 miles Of s-sd road and 7,500 miles of tralls. This mileage is scattered over Alaske from Seldovia to Point Barrow and from Eagle to Teller The main auto mobile roads naturally serve those areas with the greatest population such as Fairbanks, Anchorage, Val deg and Nome. The longest connect ad system is in the area served by xhe Richardson, SGeese and EllotT Highways with their branches, to- taT of 934 miles Af Anchorage, the connected system totals 250 miles The balance Of the total read mileage $ in short sections or small systems,
