ing the fiscal year of 1915, ending
June 30, according to the official re
port of John W. Phillips, aseayer in
charge. Led by Nome, Iditarod sec
ond and Tanana third, Alaska has giv
en to the Seattle office the greater
portion by far of the deposits. The
total valuation of Alaska’s contribu
tion for this fiscal year is placed at
$G, 313,383,98, sub-divided from the
following districts: Nome, 2,744,
