TANANA YIELD $9,200,000
Careful Compilation Made of Figures
From Whole District.
The gold output of the Tanana re
gion is estimated by the Northern
Light of Fairbanks at #9,200,(MX).
Percy 0. Charles, superintendent of
the Alaska-Pacific Express Company
has been collecting statistics from the
entire district and made the estimate.
Last year the output of the Tanana
was $*>,000,000. The year before it was
a little more than #1,000,000. The
Nome output for the present year is
estimated at $S,000.000.
It is claimed that the yield of both
Nome and Fairbanks was largely cur
tailed b\ the water shortage which
prevailed in both districts.
