Excerpt from The Gold Placers of the Forty Mile, Birch Creek, and Fairbanks Regions, Alaska Some of the earliest prospecting in the interior was done in this area, and portions of it are comparatively well known. The dis covery of placer gold on Fortymile in 1886, and the later discoveries in 1893 in the Birch Creek and Rampart regions, led to a rapid development of the creeks tributary to the Yukon. During the sum mer of 1902 placer gold was found in quantities of economic impor tance about 200 miles above the mouth of the Tanana and a few miles north of the river. This led to an influx of people and the formation of a center of population on the Tanana side of the area.
