THE CHISANA WHITE RIVER DIS
TRICT, ALASKA.
—
The discovery of gold in stream
gravels on several of the headwater
tributaries of Chisana River, Alaska,
led to a stampede of prospectors into
this district in 1913 that recalled to
old-timers the early days of placer
mining in the Territory. This district
is described by Stephen R. Capps in
IT. S. Geological Survey Bulletin 630.
Upper White River valley was first
brought to the attention of mining
people by the discovery of native cop
per on Kletsan Creek, and it was not
until gold was found on Bonanza
Creek, in 1913, that the district began
to be thought of as a source of gold
rather than copper, though gold
quartz veins bad been staked in this
very locality at least six years before
1913. When, late In the summer, the
men who found the gold on Bonanza
Creek returned to Dawson for sup
plies their discovery leaked out, and
several thousand gold seekers rush
ed Into the country, many of them
without equipment or provisions and
unaccustomed to the rigors of an Al
askan winter. The small supplies of
food then in the region were soon ex
hausted, prices rose to prohibitive
figures, and sufficient provisions were
not available even for those who
could afford to buy them. Fortunate
ly. the district was well supplied with
game, so that for weeks many lived
! on a diet of rabbits and ptarmigan.
| In 1914 most of those who had been
disappointed in staking valuable
claims or disgusted with their exper
; iences left the district, and the real
business of mining began.
The rocks of the Chisana-White dis
trict are of many types. The high
I mountains of the Wrangell and SL
Elias ranges, on the west and south,
are composed dominantly of igneous
rocks, but the Nutzotin Range, in
which the gold-bearing gravels were
found, is composed primarily of sedi
mentary beds, which are cut by
dikes and intruded by large masses
of crystalling igneous rocks, and con
tain also some surface lava flows.
The whole area is strongly glaciat
ed. During the last retreat of the
glaciers the melting ice left morainal
material throughout the district
Large, deposits of out-wash gravels
were laid down and are still accumu
lating In the valleys of the glacier
fed streams. Talus, peat, muck, and
some volcanic ash, as well as normal
stream deposits, make up the post
glacial materials in the areas that are
not now receiving glacial and glacio
fiuvial deposits.
The productive gold placer gravels
of the Chisana district are found with
in a small area, nearly all the gravels
that have been profitably mined ly
ing within a circle 5 miles in diamet
er. Bonanza, Little Eldorado, and
Skookum creeks have produced most
of he gold mined. The short mining
season, comprising only 90 to 100
days, and the remoteness of the dis
trict from lines of transportation
combine to make mining expensive.
Gold has been mined actively, how
ever, ami the total production of the
district up to and including the year
1914. was probably not far short of
$.100,000.
