EXTENSIVE OPERATIONS BY I
INTERIOR MINING COMPANY
The Valdez <Teek Placer .Mines are;
developing their Interior gold prop
erty on an extensive scale, and a< - 1
cording to its president, (ioorge \\
Sias. who re ently passed through
Cordova, tin* eompain expects to ban
dit- sou fee I ot the old channel and
ria over not less than $175,non this sea
foil, which is a forerunner of outputs
to follow, as twenty years’ work has
In i n proven up. according to the
statements ot such mining experts as
Forbes Ui. hards of Denver, who made
a thorough examination of the ground
()n»* of the most powerful and ef
fective hydraulic plants has been com
pleted. There is a ditch one and one !
fourths miles long, with a capacity
ot ;.5oo miners' inches every twenty
tour hours; d.L’on feet of iUJ-im h pipe.
12 gauge steel; six giants. 7 and
k inch nozzles, under 550-foot head;
25 and 58 horsepower dynamos; 55
and 58-horsepower Felton wheels; air
compressor to run nine rotary Inger*
? Holl-Uand drills.
An electric sawmill cuts 5.000 feet
of lumber a day, while a 15-ton steel
derrick, with an 80-foot mast, 85-foot
boom and a (ieneral Fleetric motor
on the derrick, handles boulders weigh
ing as much as five tons. The reser
voir completed covers ten acres, with'
water six feet deep, and the run is
continuous. It fills as fast as it is
drained and is connected with flumes t
for hvwash. There are 5,000 feet of
five foot flume on a grade of eight
inches to every twelve feet. For the
m riffles forty-pound rails, cut in five
loot lengths, with patent lugs to hold
■
them in place, have been Installed
Kxeellent accommodations have
been provided for the workmen. There
is an engineer's house, bunkhoiise
for twenty five men, and a dining
room with a seating eapacit> for
thirty-five A general store is in op
'•ration.
Sine** President Sias has begun the
development ot this property he has
expended more than $1 .imhmmim, and al
though tlie gold production ••ach sea
son has been very satisfactory, the
mine has now reached that stage that
the output will be large and continu
ous for some years to come.
Valdez creek fs approximately four
'teen miles long. It flows almost d!
reetly west from its source for ten
miles of the gravel floor of a broad,
glaciated valley, and then enters a
canyon about three miles long, and
finally merges on the Susitna low
lands It has cut its canyon through
the overlying gravels into the slates
beneath to a depth of 175 feet, and in
doing has intersected an older
gravel-filled canyon whose bottom is
sixty feet higher than the present
creek level.
The Tammany Bench is of particu
lar interest, both because of its un
usual character and because it has
yielded a large part of the gold pro
duced in the district. The gold-bear
ing gravels are worked through a tun
nel that follows the bottom of the
old canyon Cold is found chiefly in
- the lower live feet of the gravel, al
though fine gold occurs in all the can
yon tilling.
The old canyon gravels are favor
ably situated for the application of
hydraulic mining method- Valdez
creek will supply water tor moving
the gravel without great expense, and
its canyon provides an excellent dump
tor the disposal of tailings
Prospecting has shown that tin
tributaries of Valdez creek that flow
into it from the bills on the norfh
yield practically no gold. On thc
othcr hand, tributaries such as Tim
beilinc ireuk, White creek and lan ky
. gulch, that rise in tin- mountains to
the south, c arry important gold beat
ing gravels.
The hill between White crook and
jucky gul h, known locally a* (Sold
ill). Is of special interest in cornier
Finn with th«‘ bedrock sourer of gold.
Die decomposed material on tin- hill
dope yields fim* gold on panning, as
a result of which tin- gold ht been
traced to sources in bedrock at
i ral plat < - The decomposed material
from those veins m place yield- as
much ns $l in fine gold to the pan
The placer gold from lanky gulch
is of interest in this connection. It
is remarkably coarse and contains
many large nuggets, some of which
are smooth, but most of which arc
rough, with spines and protuberances
Sugary quartz is of common occur
rence in the gold It appears certain
from the character of the nuggets and ,
the narrow gulch in which they liej
that the gold has traveled hut a short
distance from its source in the slates,
f I old hill is without much doubt one
!>f the local centers of mineralization,
but there is no reason ot believe that
there ma\ not he other centers in the -
district
Lucky gulch gold is coarser than
that from any other part of the Val
dez creek district In general if is
rough, and many pieces contain frag
incuts of granular quartz, although
some of the gold is flattened and well
worn Larger nuggets form an im
portant part of the old product of
this stream One found weighed !»2
ounces, and a larger one weighing
f»2 ounces was taken front the gulch j!
two or three years previously. Nug
gets like these which evidently are |
not far from their bedrock source of
fer much encouragement to the pros
pector for gold lodes.
