WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.—The geo
logical survey has recently issued a
report on the Tolovana district, cen
tral Alaska, in which the facts known
about the district are set forth and the
general relations illustrated by a map.
During 1914 and 1915 hundreds of
persons, attracted by the reported
finding of gold in the headwater re
gion of Tolovana river, rushed into ti e
district, and systematic mining began
there during the summer of 1915.
Although considerable prospecting
was done, only about ten mines were
commercially productive, but these
made a gold output to the value of
$80,000. Gold-bearing gravels occur
in.the beds of the present streams, in
buried channels, and in bench gravels,
but most of the gold has been won
from the deep channels on Livengood
creek, which have proved to be far
richer than either the stream or the
bench placers.
Some shallow placers also have
yielded gold, notably on Alice creek,
but only prospects have been found in
the benches.
The annual statement on the pro
duction of gold, silver and copper in
Alaska in 1915 is now available for
distribution by the geological survey.
The value of the total mineral output
of Alaska during the year is stated as
$32,854,229, as compared with $19,
854,666 for 1914.
