for it is the airplane that has made unnecessary the litcie outlying re- cording precincts of former years.
 Eagle was product of the Klon- dike excitement, but unlike most of the boom towns of that era, it did not just spring up by accident. Eagle was founded quite deliberate ly and with some forethought.
 Tn fur-trading days, before gold was discovered in the Yukon Val ley, Moses Mercier established a trading post for the old Alaska Commercial Co. at the mouth of Mission Creek, where Eagle is now located. and called it Belle Isle. The post was moved to the Forty mile in the mid-l880's when gold was found there. f6
 Nothing much happened around the abandoned trading post until the summer of 1898. Then a group of Americans. dissatisfied with the strict rule of the Royal Mounted in the Klondike, left Dawson to found an American town. r@
 The party that drifted down the Yukon in an old barge and few small boats included such colorful individuals as old Man Martin, The Professor, Ted and Jim Hudson, Barney Gibbony, Doc" Pernault, Jenny Moore with equipment for a restaurant, Black Becky White with her washtubs, and George Graves and One Thumb Jack with faro layout and roulette table.

cember l. 1904, the District Court was moved there from Eagle. Then, in 1911, Fort Egbert was abandoned hy the Army and the military tele- graph began to fall into ruins.
 The Customs Office remained and is stin there. although there are few vessels now travelling that part of the river And Eagle, with one of the finest townsites on the up- per Yukon, will soon have an en- larged airfield and before long will be connected by road with the growing highway system of Interior Alaska.
 Fifty years ago it was impossible to predict the rise of Fairbanks to her present-day importance, with the concurrent decline of Eagle. But today it would be unsafe to write off Eagle on the Yukon as total loss.

Eagle on the Yukon was once the nest important town in Interior Alaska, but like many another Gold Rush town, it's importance has dwindled through the years.
 Not long ago Eagle was deprived of it's Recorders Office, virtually it's last link with the great days of prospecting and mining on the up per Yukon. Instead, the town will get new runway for it's airfield, to accommodate larger planes.

There are known asbestos deposits along the Kobuk river, in several interior Alaska regions and on Admiralty Island there is a deposit which has not yet been explored as to commer- cial value.
 Anyone in Alaska knowing of any ether deposits are requested to mo- tify Conn at his Canadian sales office, Johns-M -Manville CO, Homer street, Vancouver, B. c.
 w. w. Oughtred, of the Thetford Asbestos Co.,, of Thetford, Quebec, is expected in the Territory shortly to do exploratory work on asbestos.
