THE WILLOW CREEK DISTRICT
ALASKA
The sequence of events so often
observed in the history of gold-min
ing camps has been repeated in the
Wiiliw Creek district, Alaska. The
earliest prospectors, in 1897, were
primarily interested in the search for
placer gold and having found it were
500 busily engaged in mining to
trace the stream gold to the veins
from which it originally came. It
was nearly ten years later that the
first of the valuable quartz veins
that now yield most of the gold
piined in the district was discover
ed. Since, 1906, however, quartz
mining has progressed steadily and
has rested upon a substantial basis.
In 1913 the production of the dis
trict for the first time exceeded
8100,000, but in 1914 it was almost
treble that amount. Three mills are
in operation, and more will soon be
^stalled. With the increase in the
depth of mining the veins show
no diminution in the amount or
tenor of the gold. A study of the
geologic conditions in this general
area leads to the conclusion that
reins similiar to those now worked
may be found beyond the borders
of the present mining district, and
prospects already being developed
confirm this conclusion. The dis
trict lies near the route of the Gov
ernment railroad from Seward to
Fairbanks , and the cheaper trans
(portatioin should greatly stimulate
its development. There is thus every
'indication that the Willow Creek dis
*rict will steadily increase in im
portance as a gold mining camp and
that it will have a long period of
productiveness.
, Since the district’s establishment
<is a gold quartz mining camp the
gold placers which originally were
regarded as the only valuable gold
deposits, have decreased in impor
tance until their annual output is
now small, yet under the more
favorable conditions of transporta
tion placer mining may again be
profitably carried on.
A report on the Willow Creek dis
trict by S. R. Capps, published as
Bulletin 607 of the United States
Geological Survey, includes in ad
I Hition to a description of the mines
1 and prospects, a discussion of the
history, geography, and geology of
the district. The report Is illus
1' rated by a topographic and geo
’op-ic map on a scale of about 1 inch
fo the mile, and by numerous pho
ographs and text figures.
\ DREADFUL PRICE TO PAY
(American Economist)
In the President’s proclamation,
setting aside Thursday, November
95, as Thanksgiving Day, we find
the following:
“The year that is now drawing to
a close since we last observed our
day of national thanksgiving has
' oen, while a year of dicipline be
cause of the mighty forces of war,
and of changes which have disturb
ed the world, also a year of special
blessing for us.”
Yes, the greatest of wars has
been in some ways a “special bless
ing” to the people of this country.
Its most direct and tangible bless
ing has been the extent to which
it has counteracted the curse of
Free-Trade. Only in this respect
can the slaughter of millions of
human beings and the destruction of
billions of property value be regard
ed as a special blessing to the
American people. It is, however, a
; dreadful price to pay for partial im
munity from the blight of Free
; Trade.
