Henry T. Allen and others on the Tanana River, the expedition mapping and naming tributaries along the Tanana, the map that was created was criticized in later years as some of the tributaries were misplaced, the map and report was printed in 1886, the only map for the area available to the public, Jack McQuesten owning a copy of the report and showing it to Felix Pedro, Pedro using the map, the series of prospecting expeditions in 1886 and beyond which indicated there were errors in Allen's map, no large gold strikes in the area, Jim Bender and Frank Dinsmore reported colors and flour gold on the bars of the Tanana River in 1888, Dinsmore being the first to confirm the exact location of a mountain mass named Denali by the Natives, renaming the mountain Mt. McKinley, the mix up in names between the Volkmar and the Goodpaster Rivers, all of the gold discoveries except on the Big Delta River coming from the mountains northeast of the Tanana which separated the Tanana from the Yukon, Felix Pedro using Lt. Allen's map, where he found his gold is still not known, Felix Pedro and Frank Costa finding gold on the Goodpaster, Fish Creek, Fairbanks Creek and several other creeks before the discovery on Pedro Creek, the possibility that Pedro found gold on the Volkmar and not the Goodpaster River, John Hajdukovich, the search for Pedro's lost mine beginning in 1902 when Alfred Brook's map corrected Allen's map, Pedro filing on his discovery in Eagle in 1902, Mr. Prindle working for the U.S. Geological Survey and finding asbestos in the Yukon Tanana Region on the Volkmar River, searches made for Prindle's discovery, but it remains lost, Prindle using Lt.
