REPORT ON THE
IDITAROD GOLD
As in the other Yukon camps, the
shortage of water greatly hampered
mining operations. 1 his condition, to
gether with the fact that certain
claims were not worked because
were being combinen into large hold
ings for the purpose of exploiting in a
Large wav, led to a great curtailment
of gold output compared with the pre
vious year, Freliminary estimates in
dicate that the value of the gold pro
duction from the Iditarod and Innoko
districts was about $2,000,000, of which
about $200,000 is to be credited to the
fnnoko district. There was some pros
pecting of lode claims, but the cost of
mining is so great that few have been
attracted to quartz development.
In the Iditarod region the largest
production came from the mines on
Otter and Fiat creeks, but mining was
also done on Happy, W illow, Moore
and Chicken creeks and on Glen
gulch. The dredge on Flat creek was
operated throughout the summer and
plans have been made to install a
dredge on Otter creek.
The chief activity in the Innoko dis
trict in 1913 was on Little creek, where
a considerable area of rich new placer
ground was discovered. Work was
continued on Spruce and Canes creeks.
Ophir creek is worked out and practi
cally abandoned. Yankee creek ground
has been acquired by a dredging com
pany, so that mining was at a stand
still pending the installation of a
dredge. ^
