COLD LOBES III
WHITE DIB
For many years the existence of low
’ grade gold lode deposists In the
White River region has been known.
In 1906 a small stamp mill was erect
ed at a gold lode on Jackslna Creek,
a tributary of Nabesna River, and 60
I tons of ore crushed In this mill is re
j ported to have yielded $12 a ton of
free gold. This marks the most seri
ous effort to develop a gold lode prop
erty in the region, but other lodes have
been staked, and varying amounts of
excavation have been done on them.
As a result of the gold placer stampede
in 1902 from Dawson into the basin
of Beaver creek near the international
boundary, a large number of gold lode
claims were staked in that general
■ district. These claims, situated on
Reaver Creek near the boundary and
on Beaver and Fourmile creeks, and
little development work has since
Creekbeen done on them. On Cha
thenda Creek at the mouth of Bonan
za Creek a mineralized dike, known
to contain some free gold, has been
staked a number of times within the
last eight years, but no serious at
tempts to prospect it have been made.
The discovery of the rich placer de
posits In 1913 naturally stimulated
the search for the gold lodes from
which the placers were derived, and
a considerable number of gold lode
claims have been staked in the dis
trict surrounding the placer mines. At
5 the mouth of Bonanza Creek the min
I eralized area, which was first staked
several years ago. was prospected by
tunnels each only a few feet long.
For a distance of several hundred feel
along Bonanza Creek the walls of th«
rock canyon are composed of an in
trusive rock, from pink to gray lr
color, mottled with phenocrysts o
darker minerals and containing abund
ant pyrite, the whole being oxidized oi
the surface to rusty red color. Then
are in places bunches composed al
most entirely of pyrite, and somi
| small quartz veins cut the mass. Th
dike cuts Carboniferous lavas am
pyroclatic rocks and apparently strike
N. 20 degrees West and dips abou
75 degress South. The quartz veir
lets are said to carry several ounce
of gold to the ton, and the whole dik
J is reported to be auriferous. It I
said that free gold can be pannei
from the oxidized and decayed sui
face portion of the outcrop. No assa:
reports of the gold content were avail
able, and too little work has been don
to determine the average gold teno
of the dike, the location of the or
shoots, or the extent of the auriferou
portion of the dike.
In the canyon of Chathenda Creek
about halfway between the mouth-o
! Dry Gulch and Bonanza creek, there i
a zone of mineralization in the Cat
boniferous rocks and the diorlte
which intrude them. This mlneralla
. ed belt strikes approximately N. 6
degrees West and dips 78 degree
| Southwest, and a large group of claim
I has been staked upon it, extendini
from the canyon of Chathenda Creel
| up the mountain to the north. Twi
tunnels 10 and 15 feet long have bee,n
driven In a steep gully that joins the i
canyon, and several open cuts have I
been made. As shown by these dis- 1
j connected openings, there Is n belt
I raching a width of 10 feet, of rusty
mineralized country rock cut by some
quartz veins which carry sulphides '
and are stained by green copper car
bonate. No sampling was done by
the wirter, but it Is reported that as
says taken from the quartz veins have
shown a high gold content. Other
claims supposedly on the continuation
of this mineralized zone, have been
| staked on both side of upper Dry
’ Oulch.
Some quartz claims have also been
I staked on Canyon Creek about three
fourths of a mile above its mouth, but
no development work had been done
there.
