The discovery of an immense
body of broken-up quartz, tracea
ble in a contact of schist and lime
stone for seven miles would indicate
that the mother lode or true source
of all the Kougarok placer gold has
been discovered. U\ II. Cross
showed the Gold Digger a small
vial of jagged gold that unques
tionably was recently shed from a
quartz ledge or formation. The
dike from which he washed the
gold consists of broken-up quartz
and decomposed iron. It crosses
the head of Kougarok river, the
head ot Dick creek, and thence
the divide into the Arctic regions.
