NICKEL ORES
ARE LOCATED
NEAR (MINA
Nickel minerals are known to occur
at several localities in Alaska, but
none of the deposits have yet been
worked. One group of these deposits
is described in a recent publication of
the United States Geological Survey,
department of the interior, bulletin
712-C, “Nickel Deposits in the Lower
Copper River Valley, Alaska,” by R.
M. Overbeck. They lie twelve miles
a8t of Copper river and south of Chit
ina river, on Canyon creek. Chitina,
the nearest town, is about twenty-one
miles away. The country rock is
schist cut by intrusive igneous rocks.
The chief nickel deposit appears to be
connected in origin with the basic ig
neous rock. The ore body is cut by
a fault and has not been developed by
underground or surface workings, so
that its extent is not known. The ore
minerals are sulphides which have
been altered by weathering. An an
alysist of the nickel-bearing sulphide
was made, but owing to the presence
of impurities a formula for the mineral
could not be obtained. The other
sulphides are pyrrhotite and chalco
pyrite. A selected specimen of this
sulphide ore analyzed in the Geologi
cal Survey laboratory showed 7.23 per
cent of nickel.
A number of rusty croppings of ig
neous bodies on Canyon creek have
been staked, and assays are reported
to show a small percentage of nickel.
* A specimen of sulphide ore from one
of these croppings showed, when test
ed in the Geological Survey, only a
minute trace of nickel.
The extent and probable value oi
these deposits could be determined
only by careful sampling and by some
development work below the partly
oxidized surface capping.

If so desired, when your shipment amounts to $100 or more, we will wire our

ship to any place you designate.
I ye as^ y°u is to be fair with yourself as well as with us, and make us;
I a trial shipment; the result will make you a steady shipper.
