NEW ONE
Fairbanks Miuing District
Cat iu Two
I A neV mining and recording district
' has been created in -the Tanaua valley. ]
j It begins on the Tanana river whore
the north watershed of the Matchaket
strikes it and includes the placer fields
of the Slatchaket, Shaw creek, Big
Delta, Little Delta, the Goodpaster and
other streams, Teing surrounded by the
Fairbanks, the Circle City, Eagle, For
tymile and Copper Center mining and
recording districts. It has been desig
nated the Tanana district.
It is figured that the creation of the
new district will keep lots of money in
Alaska that has been sent to Washing
ton as the fees for recording at Fair
banks are so large that much of the
funds derived from that source n ust be
sent lack to Washington. The law I
permits recorders to retain the record
ing fees only that are not in excess of
*3000 per year.
