MINING ARTICLE FROM THE
ALASKA COLf.EGE
Jack laid aside his paper, lighted
nis pine which had gone out and
then with a quizzical smile remark
ed: “So far. so gocd, Larry, but
what I would like to know is how
is the prnsnector going to recognize
a mineralized country when he
meets one ? Anybody can recognize
a mineralized area after mines have
been developd there, but suppose
you are in a new country, what are
vou going to do then ?
“The! is a fair question, Jack.
jTo start with I’ll admit tiiat~tbe j
be"t prospector might pass thru a i
mineralized district and totally miss
an the signs but there are seme
heir ' ul guide-posts availabl ■ Sup
pose we were traveling thru a new
country and were following either
along Lne ridges or up a valley. We
would watch for float or for out
croppings. We might do a little
panning on the bars and if we i
didn’t find anything we would pro- j
bably conclude that it was a hungry [
country and keep on traveling. 1 j
suppose that every mining district:
has been passed up that way at
some time.
“I believe w’c should go one step
farther and ask ourselves what the
mining districts of western North
America have in common. My ob
servation has been that they are
usualxv in or near i^rusion igneous
rocks, such as small cupolas or
granite or monzonite. Others are
along the margins of great granite
batholiths such as the coast range
batholith that trends thru British
Columbia and Southeastern Alaska.
Don’t telll me about the exceptions
Tor X know that there are many
but that isn’t a bad rule to cover the
majority of the rich districts. So
when we are prospecting and come
upon intrusions of these igneous
rocks I contend that there is a good
place to pitch camp and spend a
few days in close prospecting. If
we do not see any signs of mineral
nation in the zones around these
intrusive masses we should move
on and try another.
“Also I have noticed that where
ycu have ore deposits you generally
find dikes close at hand If I climb
ed up on a ridge and saw dikes cut
ting across from one ridge to the
other like big x-ibbons, I would say
to myself- ‘Larrv, here is a good
place to do a little prospecting.’
These dikes tell me that they are
olf-shots from a deeper intrusion
and that the overlying rocks have
been fractured. Hence, if the in
trusion happens to be mineralized
—this mineralization can be
squeezed out of the intrusion into
the fractured recks above somewhat
after the same manner in which
the dikes were injected.”
Jack bgan to sniff, not in derision
but with alarm Then he made a
dash for the stove. “Dog-gone an
Irishman for a partner—you have
burned the beans !
