TIN SURVEY UNDER WAY
AT MANLEY HOT SPRINGS
A survey of the placer tin de
posits of the Manley Hot Springs
district and efforts to trace their
Source with hopes of finding de
posits of the strategic mineral in
place is being carried on by
Prof. Smith and Staff of the Geo
logical Survey Department, re
ported Dan L. Green pioneer
roadhouse proprietor of Hot
Springs. who arrived in Fair
banks recently, enroute to the
outside.
“Stream tin long has bedn
fbund in sluice boxes of gold
placer operators of the district,
and considerable quantities min
ed and shipped from the locality
at odd times.” said Green, "and
it is hoped deposits can be found
somewhere irv the district which
will justify extensive operations
for tin alone. Many claims have
been staked in the district of late
in view of the prospects. The
district is vast and plenty of vir
gin ground still is unstaked.”
Rain of Dollars
A heavy rainfall occurred
throughout the Hot Springs dis
trict on the Fourth of July,
Green reported_ and was hailed
with delight by the placer men,
who had been suffering from a
shortage of water. “The down
pour literally meant thousands of
dollars to the district,” said
Green, “and the beys counted the
results in dollars rather than
raindrops.
‘The Hot Springs district on
the whole will make a fine show
ing this season. Green reported,
"and is keeping up its reputa
tion as one of the best placer
camps in the Interior.”
On Vacation
Mr. Green has been proprietor
of the Hot Springs Roadhouse for
21 years, and is on his way Out
side to take a well earned vaca
tion and rest. He plans to spend
most of the time in Seattle and
to tour some of the western stat
es, and maybe make a trip to
South America. He has leased
his roadhouse to Mr. and Mrs.
Dines Windish, residents of Hot
Springs the last seven years.
Mr. Green is a pioneer of the
North. He was in the restaurant
business in Dawson for years be
fore he went to Hot Springs. He
is a brother of the late Capt.
Jack Green and Capt. George
Green, two of the most noted
early skippers on boats plying
the Yukon, Tanana and other In
terior waterways in the early
days. He served as a member of
the Alaska legislature a few!
years ago.

this work and have authority to
go ahead and publish what the

said. "It was two hundred years
ago today that the discovery of
Alaska was made, in two boats
which carried the names of two
apostles —St. Peter and St. Paul.
The church has had its place in
the history of Alaska. The Rus
sians estab’ished their church;
and the work has gone on in a
wonderful way as best it can.”
He explained the comity plan of
church work in Alaska which is
a community church program,
or as in Nome, the Federated
Church. This is carried on only'
where there is not room for all:
denominations and where there
is not sufficient population to
warrant the division. “The peo-j
pie,” he stated, “should recog
nize that it is a program of ec
onomy and not of waste and
should help support it.”
