Th? United States uses between
,41 ?cd 50 |?er c?nt of the world s
1 productiou of tin, yet American man
e ufacturers are almost wholly de
v i>endent upon foreign mines for
^ i heir suppt.. of raw material. Ahis
^ j kn may make up * very small part
a Of this deficiency, according to the
United Stales Geological Survey.
. j Tin was first discovered In Alas
tl k* on Buhner Creek, Seward Penin
sula. iu 1 S00. The next year
si ream tin was found on Buck
s Creek, which is separated from
Ruhner Creek by a low dhlde. In
? 903 tin oxide was found on Cas
siterite Creek, a tributary of l.c?t
River. 20 miles from Buck Cree\
c|*nd about 100 miles northwest of
p Vome. l.ater disco* erles of stream
p j ;|n were made at several oth^r
j places In the TVrrttor>.
Of the tin placers nore have
j-i shown much imjiortance except
j | those of Buck Creek. In the
, travel of the creek bod the con
lent of stream tin carrying about
*5 per cent metallic tin has been
found to '-e aa high as 400 pounds
( l?er cubic yard in rich spots, though
,|the average is under 30 pounds In
.figures furnished the Geological
/ survey. th,< gold in the gravels has
) ! t-een estimate*! at 40 cents per
^1 ublo yard, at >60 per ton of stream
tin, and at other amounts Nuggets
rl gold valued at $20 or more
j. have been found. When compared
{with the Australian and Malayan
! cravels, where the "black tin" con
i tent Is In many place* from 1 to
j-? pounds per cubic >*rd, the gravels
; of Buck Creek app?*r very rich,
| but the climate makes the con
| ditlons hard for placer working
i The season Is short, little or noth
i ing can be done before June 15,
j and the free*e-up is apt to come
j by September la. The! e are many
i storms, with cold, heavy rains, but
' ! on the other hand, the country is
1 : very healthful. A dredge working
in this district last year from Sep
tember 10 to October 15 saved 92
tons of stream tin averaging CO
per cent tin, or an equivalent of
101 tons carrying 6u per cent tin,
and sold for $51,000.
BOUNDARY SURYKYKH
TO ARCTIC OCNAX
Since the summer of 1909 the
joint commission appointed by the
Cnitod States and Canadian govern
ments to locate and mark* the
honndary line separating British
' territory from Alaska has been ac
tively engaged in this -work, push
ing the line northward from the Yu
kon to Porcupine River by the
end of the 1910 season. Last sum
! mer the field operations were ad
j vanced farther along that part of
j the one hundred and forty-first
'meridian which extends from Porcu- ]
pine River to the Arctic Ocean. |
, and it is believed that the present t
year will w itness the completion of j
1 this part of the survey.
Realising that its well-equipped
; field organization afforded unusual
. facilities in this remote and rather
inaccessible region for gathering
much information not directly con
nected with the particular work of
locating and marking the boundary
| line, the joint commission extendei
an invitation, which was readily ac
cepted, to the Geological Survey of
Canada and the United States Geo
logical Survey to send geologists to
accompany the field parties during
1911 and 1912, and to examine the
geology along the boundary from
the Yukon to the Arctic.
The most satisfactory arrange
ment for making such a geologic
j examination in the two summers ap
peared to be to assign one of the
two sections of the line to each
t Government, as otherwise there
j wo?id have been much duplication
; of the work and the observers
would be required to traverse the
j whole length of both sections. Un
der the arrangement adopted the
I Canadian geologists undertook to
examine the southern or Ynkon-Poo-'
cupine section and the United States
sonologists the northern or Porcu
pine-Arctic section.
The Cnited States geologists last
year commenced field examinations
in June and carried their work
northward approximately 100 miles,
i to the headwaters of Firth River,
which flows into the Arctic Ocean, i
A preliminary outline of the geo
logic results Obtained by this party
has been published by the United
States Geological Survey as Bulletin
520-K, a copy of which may be ob
tained on application to the Dir
ector of the United States Geological
Surrey, Washington, I). C.
