GOLD PRODUCED
ALONG LINE OF
GOVT. ROAD
ANCHORAGE, Jan. 13.—Two mil
lion. five hundred thousand dollars In
gold Is the estimated production for
the season of 1918 in that part of]
Alaska tributary to the government j
railroad, according to the report of
the land and industrial department,]
of the Alaskan Engineering commis
sion.
"Because of the high price and ;
scarcity of nearly all materials need- J
ed in the prosecution of the mining
Industry and as a result of the short j
age of labor, the yield of gold and j
other minerals was not so large in
1918 as it otherwise would have j
been,” says the report.
"The Willow creek mining district,
which is a gold quartz district, sixty
two miles northeast of Anchorage,
produced about $300,000 in gold in
the season of 1918. The government
railroad station nearest the mining
district is Wpsilla, sixteen miles dis
tant. There were about 200 men in
the district during the summer
months, which is about GO fewer than
there were in 1917.
"A development of the 1918 season
was the discovery that at least some
| of the ores in the Willow creek dis
trict carry platinum values A sam
ple recently sent to Denver, Colorado,
for testing purposes, returned assay
values of a fraction more than 7
I ounces in gold and 1.4 ounces of
| platinum.
"The Cache creek district, in the
season of 1918 produced about $2110,
! non in placer gold. The number of
men iu the district during the season
I did not average more than 12.7 The
] operators of the large dredge, which
I has been in tile district three sea
sons. declare that because of the high
cost oi material and labor they do
not plan to work next season. The
nearest railroad station to the Cache
creek district is Talkeetna, which is
128 miles north of Anchorage. Tal
keetna is forty miles from the Cache
creek district
No Broad Pass Developments.
"No developments of consequence
were reported in the 1918 season in
the Broad Pass district, which is 201
miles north of Anchorage. This dis
trict must await the completion of
the government railroad to afford it
reasonable transportation facilities.
The most likely prospects in the dis
tricl are about fifteen miles from the
surveyed route of the railroad.
"The production of gold during the
season of 1918 in the Fairbanks dis
triot was $1,100,tain; in Tolovana and
Brooks, $800,000 and in the Hot
Springs district $100,000.
“Ground yielding more than a dol
lar a foot in placer gold and carrying
a considerable quantity of placer tin
has been discovered by Messrs. Rob
inson and Hostler on lamer Patter
son creek, in the Hot Springs dis
trict, forty miles from the govern
ment railroad at Tanana. The gold
and tin deposits extend over a large
area. About twenty holes have been
put down with a Keystone drill and
in every one of these holes encourag
ing prospects have been found. The
presence of tin in the gravel is said
to indicate a heavy deposit of gold,
as the best producing gravel in this
district carries a large quantity of na
tive tin."

TO RETURN TO WORK
_
NEW YORK, Jan. 13 (by Associated
Press).—The strike of harbor workers
has been ended by a decision of the
fifteen thousand marine workers to
return to work pending arbitration.
The national war labor board con
vened today, by cabled request of
President Wilson, and decided, over
the objections of the private harbor
beat owners, to make u finding In the

the crews which resulted In last
week's strike of sixteen thousand ma
rine workmen and the tie-up of the
port.
