PRELIMINARY REPORT
(Continued from i'age six)
'valuable veins in the district that
have not yet been discovered
G HID WOOD-MOOSE PASS
DISTRICT
Although the lode prospects of j
j the Girdwood-Moose Pass district1
,aie scattered along a north-south
! belt for a distance of some 40
i niiles, the character of the veins
land the general conditions under'
! which they occur are so similar
that the two areas may be con-i
1 sidered together. Ralph Tuck has'
! made a special study of the ore
deposits of the Moose Pass district,1
and Charles Park ct tire Giidwood
jarea. In this district as a whole I
|there are many old lode prospects'
! and in times past several proper- !
ties have produced, though at pre
sent only a lew are yielding ore. i
Although the veins are small, and
so far none have been demon-!
jstrated to be continuous for many j
hundreds of feet, either along the !
: strike or in depth, nevertheless'
|they are characterized by the pres-j
|ence of free gold, and some ex
: ceedingly rich ore has been ex-!
tracted.
Apparently there is some second- j
' ary enrichment of the shallow j
portions of the veins, but their
general character and the min-!
jeralogical association indicate that!
primry gold is present and should :
: continue to considerable depths
below any htat have so far been |
'.reached by mining. However, the j
I general thinness of the veins; the
apparent limited extent both hor-!
izontally and vertically of any!
!single vein; the striking variations !
in strike within short distances;1
: and the presence of numerous |
forks and offshoots indicate that'
gieat caution should be exercised
i in planning extensive develop
jments on them, and indicate that
the wise course in both prospect
|ing and mining is to follow the
ore shoots closely.
| Assays taken from some of the *
j dikes in the Moose Pass district'
j show the presence of gold in en- j
| couranging amounts, and it is'
| possible that portions of some of
these dikes may be rich enough
to justify mining.
non-metallic resources !
Included in the scope of the
geologic investigations in the rail- I
road belt was a study of non-1
metallic resources other than coal, j
and the examination of miscel
laneous metallic prospects that'
did not lie within the districts al- j
ready described. G. A. Waring I
was assigned to this work. He
examined a large number of pros
pects, including those containing I
limestone, manganese and various i
^ypes of clays, as well as several
metal bearing lodes. None of'

these are now producing, but j
since at any time there may;
be a demand for some of these
materials, it was desirable to learn
the facts concerning their ristri- i
bution and qualities. During the1
latter part of the season Mr. War
ing was engaged in the study of
the anthracite field or upper Mat
anuska valley.
ANTHRACITE FIELD OF UPPER
MATANUSKA VALLEY
One of the prime purposes of
the special appropriation for the
study of the mineral resources of
the railroad belt was to determine
the quality and the amount of
mi nable anthracite coal in ' the!
upper Matanuska valley. It was j
realized that the natural expos-1
u.es of the coal formation were!
not sufliicently good to furnish!
as complete information as wasj
desired, and that eventually corej
drilling might be necessary. How- !
ever, a detailed surface examina- ■
tion was necessary before the j
heavy expense of core drilling'
should be incurred. Accordingly,
a field party was organized, with *
R. W. Richards in charge of the
geologic studies. G. A. Waring
was associated with Mr.. Richards 1
during the later portion of the j
summer. A large scale topographic
map was made of the more prom
ising portion of the anthracite j
field, and a force of laborers was j
employed to open up the coal ex- J
posures.
As a result of structural studies ;
in that area beds have been traced
on Anthracite Ridge proper that i
indicate a tonnage of some half:
million tons of anthracite coal,
but that coal occurs under such
structural conditions and in such j
topographic situation that it, in,
itself, does not constitute a com- 1
mercially feasible coal field. From,
geologic evidence there is a high
degree of probability, however, that
the anthracite beds extend south
ward from Anthracite Ridge be
neath the gentler slopes between
that ridge and Matanuska River.
In that area the coal formation
is in large part covered by glacial
deposits, but sufficient structural
observations on the coal formation
were secured to indicate the prob
ability that there, is a coal field
containing reserves of anthracite
that will run into many millions
of tons. To determine the thick
ness, attitude, quality and depth
of this coal below the surface at
any given locality core drilling
will be necessary, and the geologic
facts now in hand amply warrant
the expense of such a drilling
program.
