The United flutes Geological
Purvey has in press for onrlv
•publication a paper (Professional
Paper No. 15) on the mineral n>
sources of the Mount Wrangell
district, Alaska, hv Walter C.
-Mendeiiliali and Frank C. Schrader.
The paj*»r ojtens with a brief intro
duction in which the history of
this now well known copper dis
trict of southern Alaska is traced
from the time of the stamj*ede of
1898 to the j»resent. Tlx» dis-’
cussion of the mineral resources of
the region is then taken up, and
the copper, gold, eoal and other
minerals that are known to exist
nr have been reported from time to
time are treated in turn. Tlie infor
mation presented is tl»e latest that i
is available, having l>cen collected
ill great part in the course of
geologic investigations made by
the authors during tlx* season of!
1902. j
Under tl»o heading Gold, the
writers describe In >w low-grade min
eralized zones within the regions
adjacent to the Xahesna, t'husana.
and White rivers, and the Mentnsta
Mountains, and also discuss in
some detail the well-known Chis
tnchina gold field, the |irinci]ial
I’laccr area of southern Alaska.
Much information as is available
has also been collected concerning
the new Xizina gold field, which
was the object of a stampede of
considerable proportions during
tire early summer of 1902. The
occurrences of silver, platinum,
tin, mercury osmiridium, and iron
which have from time to time Iteen
reported in different portions of
the district considered in this re
port are discussed, and the proba
bilities of their existence and of
their commercial value are dealt
witli. The repiort eloses with a
number of coal deposits, of varving
commercial value, found at widely
scattered points within the field.
The paper will l»e illustrated by
twelve reproductions of photo
graps, showing mining camps, pla
cer claims, and copper properties,
and several maps including a new
I
I had Hired map of the Copper valley
i nml contiguous regions, which, il
' is expected, will prove to ho of
' great jirnctical value to prospectors
and engineers who desire to inves
tigate the region..
