Download or read book Gold Panning A Guide to Recreational Gold Panning on the Kenai Peninsula Chugach National Forest Alaska written by Chugach National Forest and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016-04-09 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Striking it rich! Finding the mother lode! 'Tis the stuff of miners' dreams. Unlike professional gold seekers, recreational gold panners benefit mostly from the adventure. The entire family can share in the fun of prospecting and gold panning. In this booklet, we explain basic gold panning techniques, how to find gold, discuss mining rights and guidelines, and identify areas available for recreational panning on the Chugach National Forest portion of Alaska's Kenai Peninsula. Recreational gold panning on lands withdrawn from mineral entry is not a mining activity-it is a privilege. Be aware that panning, sluicing, and suction dredging can adversely affect water quality, thereby impacting vegetation, fish, wildlife, and ultimately people. During the process of separating soil from minerals, silt may be washed into streams, creating turbid water. Fish, fish eggs, and the aquatic insects have difficulty living in heavily silted water because of its reduced oxygen supply.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Klondyke and Yukon Guide: Alaska and Northwest Territory Gold Fields; Where They Are, How to Get There, What to Take Along, When to Go and What to Do to Secure a Claim The wonderful gold fields now known the world over as the Klon dike diggings, are situated on a branch of the Yukon river, in the Canadian Northwest Territories. Gold was discovered in the Yukon basin in 1881 on a tributary of the Lewis river, during the next few years considerable mining was done on the Hootalinqua, which flows out of Teslin' lake and into the Yukon. Since then gold has been found in paying quantities on Stewart river, Forty-mile creek, Glacier creek, Birch creek, and last but by no means least, the creeks tributary to the Klondike. Forty-mile creek is for the most part in, Alaska; the headwaters of Sixty-mile creek are also in United States territory; Miller, Glacier and Birch creeks were once thought to be in Alaska, but are now known to be in Canada, and of the wonder fully rich Klondike there has never been any doubt of its being in Can ada.
