Book excerpt: Excerpt from Methods and Costs of Gravel and Placer Mining in Alaska The route was then pursued westward over the ridge trail to Fair banks Creek. From August 1 to 5, inclusive, nearly all the operations in the recently opened Fairbanks district were Visited, including 3 operations on Fairbanks, Chatham, Cleary, Twin, and Pedro creeks. On Fairbanks Creek a junction was made with Mr. L. M. Prindle's party, and it is due to the fact that the two parties worked together in the Fairbanks district that all the operations were visited in the few days available. During the few succeeding days as much information as possible was collected in the town of Fairbanks con cerning the new gold finds of the Tanana, and my party then proceeded Via the Tanana, Yukon, and St. Michael to Nome, arriving there August 20. From August 21 to September 4, inclusive, 21 operation were inspected on Anvil, Glacier, and Dexter creeks and Grass Gulch, and on Newton, Peluk, and Dry creeks.
