Separation of Mining District issue

although I changed the article to do away with the redlink to [[Atlin Mining District, which now is a redirect to this article, I still have my doubts; maybe it's needed, maybe it's not; it's more like this is a "lost county" of Alaska, in a way, with a particular political -cum -minig history.....just noting this for now, while saving the compilation of news articles as I have other things to do....Skookum1 (talk) 16:41, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
