Bulletin For July
Commercial Grade Uranium
The big news of the year to
date is that commercial grade
uranium-bearing material has fi
nally been discovered in Alaska.
The area as found thus far is
limited and no tonnages have
been blocked out (contrary to
what some newspapers report),
but the grade is definitely com
mercial.
The actual discovery of radio
active mineral was made in May
by Jan and Don Ross, a husband
and wife team flying aerial recon
naissance with a nucliometer in a
Piper Cub aircraft.
Second Division Notes
The Northern Mining Company
is operating the Lomen Brothers
dredge at Council this year.
* * *
Bill Munz has moved a small
dredge from California Creek (in
the Bluff area) and will operate
there this year.

Prospecting interest is running
at a high pitch among the people
at Kotzebue.
Asbestos
Asbestos was known in Alaska
in pre-historic times and has been
found in excavations on ancient
village sites between Shungnak
and Kiana on the Kobuk River,
the same area within which it is
now beginning to be mined. Its
presence on Dahl Creek was noted
as early as 1910, but as the fiber
was then judged unsuitable for
spinning no further attention was
paid, to it until 1931 when Irving
Reed of the Territorial Dept, of
Mines visited the region. He sent
to the Bureau of Mines at Wash

World's Water Speed
Record Broken With
202 MPH in Turbojet
ULSWATER, England, Of) —
Donald Campbell broke the
world’s water speed record Satur
day, setting a mark of 202.32
miles an hour.
The 34 - year - old speed king
raced his turbojet Bluebird over
the water of Ulswater Lake to
break the old record of 178.4
miles an hour set by American
Stanley Sayres three years ago.
Campbell, son of the late auto
and boat speed racer Sir Malcolm
Campbell, set the new mark be
fore a small crowd that only got
a glimpse of his Bluebird in the
spray.
Two men have died trying to
break the record since Sayres set
it on Lake Washington.
Campbell waited anxiously
after returning to the boathouse
for the official announcement that
he had broken the record—then
leaped into the air with joy. He
was holding his hands to his back
as if in some pain, however, sug
gesting he might have strained
himself in the tremendous speed
run.
ington samples of chrysotile as
bestos of high quality. Later, as
part of the search for the strategic
minerals, both territorial and fed
eral engineers and geologists ex
amined the area in 1943 and 1944,
and the work of the Bureau of
Mines was continued into 1945.
The Kobuk River asbestos dis
trict is about 300 miles northeast
of Nome or 150 miles east of Kot
zebue on Norton Sound. It is eas
ily accessible by plane or by river
boat from Kotzebue. The deposits
are found in a range of mountain
paralleling the river and some 10
to 20 miles north of it. These are
known as the Cosmos Hills at the
east and Jade Hills at the west.
The district is about 45 miles
long from east to west and ex
tends from the Kogoluktuk River
to Jade Creek. The Cosmos Hills
rise to about 2,000 feet, but the
Jade Hills are higher. The range
is cut by a number of southward
flowing streams: the Kogoluktuk
River, Dahl Creek, Wesley Creek,
Camp Creek, Cosmos Creek, and
Shungnak River—flowing across
or out of the Cosmos Hills and
Ambler River, Redstone River
and Jade Creek cut through Jade
Hills.
The mountain mass consists of
ancient sediments, graywackes,
and limestone, now represented
mainly by schist. These rocks
were intruded by an ultrabasic
rock, presumably a peridotite but
now a mass of serpentine. In the
Cosmos Hills the serpentine seems
to be a sill resting on the meta
morphic rocks.
Jade is also found, in one place
as a veinlet in asbestos, but main
ly in the form of large boulders
of float.
Though the Kobuk asbestos is
the best known so far, other de
posits are fairly widespread thru
out Alaska. A deposit on Bear
Creek, Admiralty Island, has been
known for many years. A large
deposit has been reported to exist
north of the Yukon River in the
vicinity of Rampart. A new as
bestos deposit in the Mentasta
Pass area was located in 1954. A
deposit in the Hyder district has i
been optioned.
Samples of asbestos, mostly of j
poor grade, are sent into the TDM i
assay office quite often from near- j
ly all parts of Alaska.
