j Alaska Surveys and In
vestigations in 1916
By U. S. Geological Survey
The United States Geological Sur
vey began its syst-uiatic investiga
tions in Alaska in i vv Sine*' that
time the work has been continued
without interuption. and a large part
of the territory has been mapped to
pographically and geologically, par
ticularly those areas that are produ
cers or prospective producers of val
uable minerals. However, much re
mains to be done, and during the
coming summer 12 parties will he
sent to Alaska to continue or extend
the surveys already begun or com
pleted. Four of these parties will
work in Southeastern Alaska, two will
he sent into the Prince William Sound
region, one will he in the lower t op
per and Chitna valleys, one in the
Nenana and Bonnitle districts, one on
the lower Yukon, and one in Fair
banks. Tolovana. and Nome districts.
\mong all these investigations those
o?' the Juneau and Nenana districts
are of special interest and importance.
In southeastern Alaska Theodore
Chapin will continue the geologic
surveys that he began last year in the
Ketchikan district and will study the
mineral resources of this area, giving
special attention to mining develop
ments and production George H.
Canfield will continue the investiga
'ion of the water resources of south
eastern Alaska. This work is car
ried on in cooperation with the For
est Service and was undertaken to
i supply the demand for nformatiaon
about the available water power of
his part of Alaska Juneau is the
most important lode-gold mining dis
trict of Alaska and promises to be
come one of the largest gold-produc
ing camps of the continent. D. C.
Witherspoon will complete the de
tailed topographic map of the Juneau
'district on which he was engaged last
rear, and A. C. Spencer and H. M.
"akin will undertake an exhaustive
study of the gold deposits.
J. W. Bagiev will make toptgraphic
reconttaisance surveys inthe Prince
William Sound region. These sur
veys are made bv the phototopogra
phic method and will include the
northwestern shore lines of the Sound
eastward from Passage Canal, thus
embracing the Port Wells mining dis
trict and connecting the work done
in this area with previous work in
•he vicinity of Port Valdez.
B. L. Johnson will continue the
stduy of the geology of Prince
William Sound, on which he has been
engaged for a number of years. One
of the most important parts of this
investigation is to map the geology
and study the mineral resources of
the norther part of Latouche Island.
In which is situated a property of
the Kennicott Corporation—one of the
largest copper producing companies
of Alaska.
The lower Copper River region, in
cluding part of Chitna valley, will be
studied by Fred H. Moffit. who will ex
tend the exisiting geologic surveys
into some areas not yet covered and
will visit the mining districts.
G. C. Martin, assisted by G. A. Mad
dren and R. M. Overbeck, will under
1 take a deatiled study of the western
I part of the Nenana coal field, topo
graphic maps of which were made by
the General Land Office in 1915. This
area is adjacent to the new railroad
from Cook Inlet to Tanana River. Its
areal geology will be mapped, but
special attention will be given to a
study of the coal. It is expected
that the gold placers of the Bonnifield
district near by will also be visited.
S. It. Capps and C. E. Griffin will
under aks reconnaissance geologic
and topographic survery of the Kan
tishna district. Mr. Capps will map
the areal geology westward from
Nenana River and will examine the
gold placer and the antimony depos
| its of the Kantishna. Mr. Griffin will
1 make a topographic survey of the
area studied by Mr. Capps.
, j The lately discovered gold placers
( of the Tolovana district have not yet
been visited by members of the Uni
ted States Geological Survey. J. B.
Mertie will investigate them during
the summer, visiting Livengood Creek
1 and the adjacent parts of Tolovana
River and Hess Creek and endeavor
ing to determine the relation of the
placers to the physioghaphic history
, of the area. He will also visit the
I Fajrbanks and Nome districts, devot
ing his time principally to an examin
I ation of the different lode deposits,
BLASTING BY USE
OF LIQUID AIR
—
Considerable attention has been
drawn u> sntteineuts emanating from
German sources that liquid air lias
n sue ecssfullj used for blasting.
| with very much lower cost than from
the use of auy other explosive. The
principle depends upon the fact dis
co red a long time ago that liquid
jnxygen 90 per cent pure, in contact
with organic matter such as powdered
charcoal or with petroleum absorbed
in some inert substance, produces a
uiixture which can he readily deton
ated with a resultant powerful explo
sion.
There are so many practical diffi
culties in the way of using liquid oxy
gen, or liquid air. for this purpose
that it is very doubtful if the mehod
covered a long time ago. that liquid
has any place in the mining operations
except in Germany, where the block
ade has prevented the importation
of nitrates from Chile, the nitric acid
from which is file most important
component of explosives for ordniarv
mining as well as military purposes.
In using liquid air for blasting, a
cartridge is manufactured conaining
powdered charcoal or whatever or
ganic material is used, held in place
by gauze and card board, the ends of
the cartridge being closed with cork.
The liquid oxygen is introduced into
■' center of this cartridge by means
of a tube passing through one of the
corks and is distributed through the
organic surrounding substance
through gauze ports. Vent holes
have to be provided so that gaseous
oxygen may escape. Electric deton
. tors are used for the explosion.
The liquid oxygen has to be brought
to tite mine in especially provised con
tainers. and the cartridge has to be
loaded at the place where it is to be
used and lias to be fired immediately;
otherwise the liquid oxygen gasifies
and the cartridge becomes nonexplo
sive.
This method of blasting cannot be
used in wet holes, because the water
would freeze, owing to the action of
f'io liquid air. and furthermore holes
of not less than two inches in diamet
er have to be used. Under conditions
where no other explosives could or
were available, this method might ap
peal to mining men. but under ordin
ary conditions it certainly seems to
be an unattractive proposition for
practical work.
Liquid oxygen is said to be one of
the powerful ingredients in the hand
grenades used in trench warfare and
In bombs dropped from aeroplanes.—

districls. Recent mining develop
ments of these areas will also be
studied.
It. H. Sargent will make topogra
phic reconnaisance surveys on lower
Yukon River, more particularly of the
Marshall district, although it is ex
pected that time will permit him ^to
traverse a part of the Yukon between
Anvik and Andreafski and to map cer
tain other areas adjacent to the River.
Mr. Sargent will be accompanied by
George L. Harrington, who will pre
pare a reconnaissance geologic map
of the districts visited but will pay
particular attention to the gold lodes
and placers of the Marshall district.
Alfred H. Brooks, geologise in
charge of the Survey’s Alaska inves
tigations will be engaged in office
work in Washington till the middle
of June, when he expects to start for
Alaska lo visit Nome, Ruby, and Ju
neau districts. He probably will not
return to Washington till early in
October.
Most of these field parties are now
in Alaska or are on their way. All
the field men required have been em
ployed, and the necessary equipment,
including horses and supplies, has
been provided. •
