(ALASKA.) Norman C. Stines. Report on Devault Group on Seventy Mile River. 32 photographs inserted into corner mounts, plus [61] typescript pages. 4to, 11 x 8½ inches, in original paper binder, minor wear; minimal wear to contents; signed twice by the author in the introduction and final page. Fairbanks, AK, 2 September 1947


  • Notes: This report describes the potential for industrial gold mining along an 8-mile stretch of the Seventy Mile River which had been leased to the Devault Group. This was an extremely remote region due east of Fairbanks near the Canada line; the nearest settlement today is Eagle, population 86, about 20 miles to the southeast. It advocates spending $30,000 on preliminary mining facilities, with the expectation that $1,750,000 would be required for a full mining operation. The report is illustrated with 32 well-captioned photographs, each 3½ x 4½ inches, illustrating the wilderness area, including a very primitive "airport runway."
