COLD IS FOUND1'
IN GRAVEL IN :
Cl FIELDS j
H
Some of the federal surveyors who „
ran survey linos for the Nenana anil w
other coal fields in the interior last “
summer discovered the fact that the n
layers of gravel contain gold. This
led to speculation whether these grav
el beds might not in time be worked
for the gold in them by hydraullckiug
them and exposing the coal at the
same time. T
So far as known the combination
of a gold and coal mine would be
opened for the first time, in case tills
could be done with profit. JJ
The coal at the head of the Nenana ti
and along some of the other streams I'
»
which head in the Alaska range 0
where it has been crosscut lies in p
blankets or veins sometimes thirty 11
e:
feet in thickness with layers between |(
of gravel anil white said. Miners in s
washing the gravels on these streams 11
and side streams have made a prac |
tlce of using the coal for thawing >
tin* ground. .Moreover, it is Known
H
that immense deposits of gold bear- ;i
ing gravel line along the foothills of "
the Alaska range. On the table lands (
at a higher altitude are miles and s;
miles of Hue gravel, which have never 0
been even prospected. • and where sl
whitemen have seldom ever visited. o
With the building of the railroad
o
to the Tanana and a lower rate for \
transporting heavy mining machinery p
and supplies it is believed that great '
quantities of these gold bearing grav- u
els may lie worked profitably. In sc
the layers between the coal and gold,
so far found, is mostly fine or Hour p
gold, but in other adjoining gravel 11
beds where prospecting has been car
ried on. the gold is found to he uni- c
form from the surface to bedrock.
Therefore, the working of many of
the immense deposits would resolve k
itself into a simple mathematical pro- ]
Idem. II
The possibility of gold bearing lay
ers of gravel between coal veins again
suggests what a wonderful country
Alaska really is. and how little resi
dents themselves may know about the
great natural resources that have not |,
even been touched.
