Plea to Irishmen
to Help America
DUBLIN. Kept. 2. (by muiU. The
entrance of America in to the war
should settle the question for Irish
men whether they should voluntarily
enlist in the British army, in the opin
ion of Colonel Arthur Lynch. Nation
alist and member of parliament, who
is engaged in an Irish recruiting cam
paign
"Friendship with America should
be the deciding factor of till Irish
policy.” he said to the Associated
Press correspondent. T mention these
matters because young Irishmen whom
we wish specially to secure have had
their minds captivated and in some
eases perverted by a propaganda that
has its main origin in America. The
deepest motive of this propaganda is
hatred of England but some of the
leaders have been so blinded by their
passion of resentment that they have
glided along the path of pro-German
ism and therefore treachery to the
Stars and Stripes.
"I appeal to all Irishmen to give
up our accursed habit of clinging to
a dead past and dwarfing our living
souls by the spectres of half-forgot
ten defeats. Got US look forward, let
us help rude Sant to the last ounce,
and Ireland, to quote words of a song
which arose among the Irish in Alts
tralia. 'will have a big brother at the
peace conference.' "
NICKEL FOUND
IN THE COPPER
RIVER VALLEY
Nickel ore has been reported at
three localities in Alaska on the west
coast of Chichagof island, near Copper
river, and on Knight island, Prince j
William sound. The deposits on the j
Chichagof Island and near Copper riv
er were examined In the summer of
P.I17 by It. M. Overbeck, of the U. S.
Geological survey, department of the
interior. A brief statement of the 1
results of that examination by the U. ;
S. Geological survey follows:
The nickel deposits of Chichagof
island are situated about three miles
northwest of Pinta bay, or about sixty
five miles northwest of Sitka. The
developments consisted in 1917 of a
180-foot Hhaft, with 155 feet of drifts
at the 80 and 180-foot levels, and of„
several prospect holes.
The ore occurs in and near the
margin of a mass of hornblende gab
bro or norite which is intrusive into
quartz-mica schist. This contact is
parallel to the short. The ore Is ex
posed In two outcrops about half a
mile apart. A shaft was sunk at the
more northerly of these outcrops.
There is a third outcrop about half
a mile farther north, where a mass
of limonite is believed to be the
weathered capping of the ore. These
outcrops from irregular areas, about
seventy feet in maximum diameter,
projecting somewhat above the sur
rounding surface Al several other
places the ore minerals were seen
disseminated in small amounts thru
the country rock
The ore contains copper aim nickel,
the most abundant sulphide minerals
being pyrrhotito, chalcopvrite. and
pen'landlt • I’entlamlite is an iron
nickel spulphide. Fe.NiS, containing
about 22 per cent nickel The min
erals in the ore include also a small
amount of niccoiite. which in tie- ar
senide of nickel containing about 43.lt
per cent of nickel. Two selected
samples of ore from the so foot level
contain 4.US anil 3.113 per cent of nick
el and a trace of cobalt.
The number, size and shape of the
ore bodies have not been determined.
The only opportunity for underground
observation in 1917 was in the 80-foot
level at the center outcrop. The shaft
is in igneous rock that is free from
ore minerals. The drift for about 30
feet from the shaft is also in barren
hornblende gabbro, but the last 30
feet of the drift is in massive ore. At
the face of the drift there are some
masses of barren rock, but the drill
holes in the face are apparently in
sulphides There has been some fault
ing at this level, but its extent is not
known. The drift at the ISO foot level
could not be reached, but it is said
to be about SO feet long and to reveal
ore which has apparently been some
what broken up by faulting.
The three outcrops described above
apparently have no surface connec
tion and may have no connection un
derground. They may possibly bo the
exposures of a single continuous ore
body, but they are more likely to be
outcrops of separate ore bodies that
lie in a mineralized zone along the
intrusive contact. This zone probably
contains other ore bodies that do not
show at the surface.
Neither the outcrops nor the under
ground workings are of sufficient ex- |
tent to permit any reliable estimate
of the amount of ore than may lie
present at this locality. Ore bodies
of this kind are generally very irreg
ular. The amount of ore shown iti
the present workings therefore does
not justify large Investments in facil
ities for mining, ore treatment, or
shipping. The amount of ore in sight
tnd the geologic conditions at the
locality do. however, encourage the
hope that workable ore bodies will
be developed, and justify the expend!
ture of a moderate amount of money
in blocking out the known ore body
and In the search for other ore bodies.
This search should Include the thor
ough prospecting of the entire area
along th" contact of the intrusive
rock with the schist. It is believed
that diamond drilling near the known
outcrops, and ut the localities where >
disseminated ore is seen, may reveal
additional ore bodies that do not
reach the surface.
The Copper river nickel locality is
situated near the headwaters of Can- I
yon creek about thirteen miles east
of Copper river opposite Mile 121 on ;
the Copper River & Northwestern 1
railroad at an altitude of more than ,
•1,000 feet Mining claims have been
located on the outcrops of basic dikes 1
which cut the schists, but only a little
underground work has been done.
Pyrrhotlte and chalcopyrite are local
ized in a few places, but there is no
evidence of extensive mineralization. 1
The amount of ore can not be esti
mated on account of the small amount ;
of underground work and the fact !
that at one locality, at least, the ore
body has been faulted. A selected !
specimen of ore contains 7.2.'! per cent !
nickel and a trace of cobalt, but most
of the known ore is believed to be
or much lower grade,
A nickel deposit is said to have j
been discovered on Knight island, in
Prince William sound. It is reported j
that this deposit was being prospect- j
ed with a diamond drill in the sum
mer of 1R17, but the locality has not
been visited by any member of the
Geological survey and no authentic
information is available.
