KODIAK’S MINERALS
Not that it is necessary for anyone to pick out
work for the brave lads of the U. S. Geological Sur
vey—they’ve got enough ahead of them for a hun
dred days, more or less, to give all the nations
domain the up and down and the double 0 with the
expert geological eye. They do wonderful work for
mining and that’s why we want the floor for a mo- j
ment .to put another question.
Could not the department include Kodiak Island
in an early reconnaissance survey, for the good of the
souls of the engineers themselves and prove or dis
prove the oft-repeated dissertation that Kodiak is I
a highly mineralized portion of the Territory. The j
beauty of the island would calm their spirit even tho j
an occasional Kodiak bear might raise their tempera
ture as they chased the elusive formation up hill and
down dale.
So far as we have been able to ascertain there has
never been a geological survey made of Kodiak Island,
notwithstanding the fact that placer mining opera
tions have been carried on there with a production!
of over $100,000 and that was as early as 1794 or 135
years ago; bells for the Russian Mission at Kodiak;
town were cast from “native copper,” so the historian j i
Beside gold placer and gold quartz and copper,!
other minerals have been reported from time to time!,
by experienced men and little mining has been done ,
on the island, but the island never has been prospected I.
simply for the reason that the inhabitants have never p
been inclined that way. The famous Kodiak bear has 3
been a deterrent factor in this regard and the interior
of the island is little known since the natives con- j
fine themselves to the fishng waters of the coast line. s
It is a general accepted scientific hypothesis that j <
the Alaska Peninsula and the islands of southeastern d
Alaska are of recent geological originn with profound ((
changes going on even to this day. A glance at the
map discloses instantly the very plausible assumption
that Kodiak Island is but a continuation of Kenai Pen-!
insula, constituting a parallel ridge of the earth’s crust ^
or range of mountains to that which constitutes the
backbone of the Alaska Peninsula.
Since Kenai Penninsula is known to be heavily min
eralized and gives promise of bringing forth a great
new gold district at Nuka Bay it is far from idle spe
culation to credit Kodiak with heavy mineralization.
It is but a part of a great rent in the earth envelope
thru which ingenious formations and mineral bearing
solutions were forced.
These are matters .worthy of the deep considera
tion of the Geological Survey. It is a consummation
devoutly to be wished that Kodiak will speedily come
in for the attention that is her due.
It’s great stuff to put a potato in the ground and
find five or six funny little potatoes nudging around.
It warms the heart to find that somebody is doing1
his duty and not asking the government for a job.
Deeds are fruit; words are but seeds.
