Excerpt from Geology and Mineral Resources of the Nizina District, Alaska The Nizina district takes its name from Nizina River, a northern branch of Chitina River, and lies in the eastern part of the Copper River drainage basin. Its position with reference to the coast and the Canadian boundary is shown on Plate I, opposite. That portion of it to which the following descriptions are confined is included between parallels 61° 12' and 61° 37 north latitude and meridians 142° 22' and 143° west longitude and is represented on the Nizina special map. (see Pl. II, in pocket.) The area mapped, however, is irregular in outline and only 300 square miles in extent, so that it comprises little more than one-half of the quadrangle indicated.

Excerpt from The Geology and Mineral Resources of a Portion of the Copper River District, Alaska The geological observations were necessarily confined to the vicinity of the routes traveled, and while far from complete, they are sufficient to reveal the main geological features of the region traversed. The compilation of the geological notes and the drawing of the geological map has been the joint work of the two authors. But the form of the report and the manner of presentation of the data has fallen upon the junior author, because Mr. Schrader was obliged to devote much of his time while in the office to the perfection of plans for explorations in northern Alaska, and left for the field in February.

Excerpt from Geology and Mineral Resources of the Controller Bay Region, Alaska When Bering led the first exploratory voyage across the North Pacific in 1741, Cape St. Elias was his first landfall and either Kayak or Wingham Island his first landing place. The first explora tion of this province thus dates back to the beginning Of Alaskan history. But this beginning, although of historical interest, was of little importance, for Bering merely sent boats ashore for water, and then went back across the Pacific without extending his explorations or even touching on the mainland.

Excerpt from The Mineral Resources of the Mount Wrangell District, Alaska The Tenth Census, taken in 1880, gives the number of white inhabitants of the Territory of Alaska as 430. In the decade from 1880 to 1890 this number had increased to and in the following decade, that between 1890 and 1900, a further increase to is recorded. The Director of the Mint in his report for 1891 gives the value of the yield of the Territory in precious metals as By 1900 these figures were increased to 2. These statistics of the growth in population and in mineral output of Alaska serve as an index to the general increase in the importance and commercial value of the Territory as an integral part of the domain of the United States. The larger part of this growth began with the discovery, late. In the autumn of 1896, of the placer deposits of Klondike River in Canadian Yukon territory. Soon after this discovery there was a great influx of prospectors. Miners, and business men to all parts of Alaska. But particularly to the regions tributary to the Yukon, and with this increase in population came a proportional increase in transportation facilities and business interests.

Excerpt from Mineral Resources of Alaska: Report on Progress of Investigations in 1917 Again, as for many years in the past, the Geological Survey is under great obligation to residents of the Territory for statistical data. Those who have thus aided include the many mine operators who have made reports on production as well as developments. There are still some Alaskan mineral producers who fail to respond to requests for information, but many prospectors, Federal officials.
