in MINI 0PERIT0R5
T
Am^ng the prominent travelers
passing thru Seward for interior
points is J. S. Horning, en route to
the Willow Creek free-milling gold
mining district, north of Anchor
age. Accompanying Mr. Horning
is his son Alan.
So quietly that little flurry has
been occasioned thereby, Mr. Hor
ning, Charlie Bartholf and Sidney
Black have acquired a number of
properties in Willow Creek district
which combines the largest hold
ings in that area. These consist of
the Gold Cord, which has for some
two years or more, been operated
by the partners on a paying basis,
the Gold Bullion, Independence
and the Jap group. All of these
have undergone a degree of pros
pecting, and Mr. Hoilning says
each property has good ore and in
dications of becoming strong con
tributors to the gold output of the
district.
The Gold Cord has been under
going development of additional ore
bodies during the winter. The
workings include an 85-foot winze,
sunk on ore in one of the main
drifts, and is still in ore of com
mercial value, said Mr. Horning.
A 120-foot winze sunk on a shoot
good values. The Jap group is
in the Independence also shows
noted for its rich surface ores.
All of these properties will even
tually come under development,
says Mr. Horning
Winzing in Willow Creek is in
S line with the pronouncement of a
number of eminent mining engi
neers, including the late Dr. Alfred
S. Brooks and members of the U.
S. Geological Survey that the
velopment of shoots in the district
are persisent in their downward
trend, indicating deep-seated ore
bodies.
While the Brooks pronounce
ment primarily dealt with the
schists, Mr. Horning says that de
velopment of shoots in the dioriet
shows them to be equally persist
ent and fully conformable with
all hypoheses drawn by scientific
geologists.
In Gay’s report (1931) the obser
vation was made that indicated
possible depths of ore pointed to
7 000 feet., or about where the Vo
dose enters the Barysphere, or the
sulphine zone, above the Litho
sphere.
Grano-diorite and schist predom
inate in the Willow Creek zone,
the contact between the latter and
grano-diorite structure running al
most east and west. It is along
this contact that the great vein,
system has been laid down, witn
impregnations about equally di
vided between the schist and the
dioitic rocks.
In addition to the segregated
and contast fissures, the wall mat
ter in many instances, says Mr.
Horning, contains some values.
Messrs. Homing, Bartholf and
Black have carried on the second
era of pioneering Williow creek,
Mr Bartholf being associated with
his uncle. Gene Bartholf, in dis
covery of the camp. For several
years Messrs. Horning and Bar
tholf struggled along with the Ma
ble mine in the eastern end of the
contact, and still retain it, aftei
acquiring the Gold Cord, Gold
Bullion, Independence and Jai.
groups. The Mable gave them the
start by which they have built up
the present large group and whicl
appear destined to become one of
the largest mines in the distuct
Sidney Black was left an or
phan when his father was swept
into Turnagain Arm by a snovglide
while working on the Alaska Rail
road in 1920. He attended schoo*
in Wasilla and Anchorage and then
oined Messrs. Bartholf and Horn
ing as a miner, later buying into
the close syndicate and emerging
one of the big mining men of the
Territory.
Alan Horning is an aviation ex
pert mechanic and flier. He will
work at the mine this summer.
