FINDS WORKABLE PAYSTREAK
IN INMACHUK LAVA
The old maxima, “<lold Is where
you find it.” is forcibly exemplified by
the statement of )•<«■• . nt arrivals from
the Inmachuk sec.tlion that a sold strike
nf more than nominal value has be<*n
made in the great lava deposits along
the Inmachuk River. It has been
claimed for wars that lava was one
of the terrestrial elements in which
►fold in never found, at least in work
able Humilities, tint finis theory is
somewhat upset by tin- Inmachuk find,
which, it is claimed is not only a case
"f if old in association with lava hut
also in sufficient <| 11:1 rffiit>s to nine.
Dick Hi'uenidorn. a widely known
mining man of the Kotzebue Sound
find and the ground is located on a
b-.-nch off No. 3 below Han mint <Teek
i»n the Inmachuk. TIr Ru’d !s found
in what appears trt be a conglomerate
of disintegrated lava and volcanic ash.
Hose investigation has failed to dis
close amy sign of gravel or otln-r
stream alluvium. The deposit is
wild to pan as high as ten cents a id
is easy to handle. llogendorn has
done suffitfent development work to
ascertain that it. can he profitably
mined and is preparing to inaugurate
systematic operations. The gold
bearing material is said to be neither
undteir or over the>Jnva but actually in
it. Tn the opinion of some who have
examined it. the pay dirt is lava ma
ternal that has decomposed. Others
are of the view that it is slide material
in which the gold has been caught.
The complete absence of any form of
gravel, however, seems to point, to the
gold not having had its source in some
undent stream channel.
As the lava flowed over the coun
try from a nearby crater It sprpad
over a wide section of the Inmachuk
valley, covering the stream gravels
with a vast meat of stone. Numer
ous efforts have been made to sink
through the lava blanket to the gravel
beneath, work done near the edge of
tho deposit having shown that the
buried gravels contained prospects.
During the past year H. L. Stull
bored through the lava after much
exertion but failed to find pay.
