Excerpt from Mineral Resources of Alaska: Report on Progress of Investigations in 1914
The arrangement and manner of treatment in this volume are the same as in those previously issued. First, papers of a general char acter are presented, followed by those treating of special districts, arranged geographically from south to north. This bulletin contains eighteen papers by eight authors. One of these papers deals with administrative matters, one is a general summary of the mining industry, one treats of the future of the placer-mining industry, and the remainder deal more specifically with the mineral resources Of cer tain districts. In the geologic papers emphasis is laid on the con elusions having immediate interest to the miner. These conclusions are discussed here briefly, but will be more fully treated in reports now in preparation. The need of prompt publication requires that the illustrations in this volume be of the simplest kind.
