SURFACE SUNS OF
NEW STRIKE IS EQUAL
TO Fid BONANZA
(Special to The Gateway)
The most important strike made
in years in the McCarthy district
has been uncovered by Martin
Radovan on Glacier Creek about
two miles above the discovery
made by Chick Melson last year.
Radovan has stripped 11 feet of
four and one-half foot ore with
an out crop 100 feet further ahead
of the same body, of a new ore
never before found in Alaska,
called Tehiderite and containing
grey copper with chalcopyrite, en
ergite and chalcosite, carrying high
values in gold and silver. The
find was made about 200 feet
above the contact of greenstone
and lime in wha( is known as
Chittistone lime. On the same
properties, cobalt and molybdenum
has been found. Assays are be
ing made at Kennecott and sam
ples have been sent to the Ta
coma smelter.
Several oldtime mining men of
this section remarked that the
surface showing is equal to the
famous Bonanza mine. There is
no longer a doubt but what the
Glacier Creek lime formation will
show another big copper pro
ducer similar to Kennecott hold
ings.
Radovan staked this property
j about the same time as the Mel
json strike and, unaided, has built
•trails and done development work
; on one of the most rugged pieces
; of Mother Nature ever tossed up,
■ where others would not venture.
| A precipice thousands of feet high
I with overhanging glacier, paths
j like mountain goat trails, upon
| which, in many places, one has to
j crawl on hands and knees, is the
game that Radovan played to
prove the’riches hidden away in
: the most inaccessible of places
ever built on this universe.
In the Bremner mining district,
there are about 18 people pros
pecting for gold and doing devel
opment work on claims now lo
cated. Some shoveling in has
i been done and ordinary wages
made. On several properties good
prospects are being panned but
the bed-rock drians have not been
completed so that 'bed-rock can
, be reached. With the work done
the prospect is good for another
camp where placer mining can be
carreid on; as yet the benches
have not been touched. The gold
is coarse and heavy, with some
nuggets. The only creeks so far
prospected are Monahan and Gol
conda, on this side of the divide.
It is reported that there is a party
on the little Bremner, on the
coast side, and that they are get
ting encouraging prospects.
The Ramer Brothers’ quartz lo
cations at the head of Golconda
Creek are being developed and
showing up well. This property
was recently inspected and ex
amined by Asa Baldwin, who holds
an option with others.
Good progress is reported by
the Alaska Road Commission on
its work on the Chestochina road.
This is one of the most important
road projects in the Territory, as
it opens up a highly mineralized
country, according to Major L. E.
Atkins, in the Cordova Times.
