Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Placer Deposits of Alaska Placer deposits, in addition to their intrinsic value, serve as indicators of areas of potential development of lode deposits. Any possibility that Alaska may again become an important source of metallic mineral commodities depends in part on an inventory of placer deposits and a knowledge of the geology of their source areas. Knowledge of Alaska's placer deposits is far from complete. Many mining camps have been, at best, the subject of only cursory examination by geologists or mining engineers who are at liberty to publish the results of their studies. Many placers are vaguely known from unconfirmed reports that someone was working on a creek, and in many instances, a creek bearing that name cannot now be identified with any particular stream. Such data are, of course, practically valueless and were generally ignored in pre paring this report. Many prospectors are reluctant to divulge data on their claims and this has undoubtedly caused some deposits to be lost or overlooked. Other major gaps in our knowledge result from the lack of bedrock exposures in many areas where valuable placer deposits were mined. In these areas, the determination of lode sources and their mode of occurrence during reconnaissance studies of mining districts was impossible.

This book was released on 2017-10-22 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

This book was released on 2018-02-12 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mining Industry in the Territory of Alaska During the Calendar Year 1915 The output of placer gold showed a slight decrease over 1914, which was partly due to the partial exhaustion of the placers, but also to the fact that many of the operators owning ground tributary to the line of the Government railroad prefer to await the comple tion of the road, when comparatively cheap coal may be obtained, rather than to pay the present excessive price for wood. As the cost of fuel for thawing frozen placers constitutes a large part of the total mining cost, the delay is warranted. The output of placer gold for 1915 is valued at as compared with in 19143' More than 30 gold dredges were busy in the summer of 1915, and the construction of several new ones was started. The value of the output from dredging declined slightly, being in 1915 and in 1914. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
