ll HISTORY PLACER
I -i'Z
g: -
;j;i
In a government report the Gelogl
;g: cal Survey publishes the following ln
•g: formation in reference to the Chlsana
gg camp:
•g: After the discovery of gold in the
gg Klondike and the stampede to that
gg field in 1897 and 1898, a number of
ig: prospectors worked southward into
gg the Chisana-White River district and
;!g in 1902 a reported discovery of placer
:gi sold in the basin of Beaver Crees,
ig: brought on a small gold rush to the
Jg; White River Basin, but no workable!
gg placer gravels were then found and
gg most of the gold seekers soon left. A
gg few who stayed were led to search ]
ig; for copper deposits, because Indian
gg | reports of rich ocurrances of native,
Jgi copper in the White Rive valley had
gg long been known. Any number of
gg copper-bearing lodes were found, and
gg the development of these and pros
pecting for others have continued to
occupy the attention of a few men
.. ever since. The region, however, is]
g difficult of access and up to the spring 1
g; of 1913 had been visited by compara- J
g tively few white men. j i
;i The discovery of placer gold in * i
g 1913 and the widely circulated re
i; ports of the richness of the district <
>; led to a great influx of gold seekers i
and created a demand for more re- |
g cent information about the district
g than was available. Accordingly two
g' parties of the United States Geological i
i; Survey were organized to map the
g country both topographically and geo- '
g logically. '
g Facts now known with regard to the
g geology and mineral resources of the
g Chisana-White River district as a re
suit of these Investigations as well as
__ j information from all other available
!l sourcps have been compiled and have
j been published by the Geological Sur
. vey in Bulletin 622-F, ky Stephen R.,
‘ j Capps.
Placer gold was first mined in the!
j district in 1913, when between $30,000
and $40,000 was recovered. Last year
over 20 claims contributed to the pro
duction. and gold to the value of more
than $250,000 was mined. With the
exception of the discovery of a few
] new copper lodes, the value of which
has not yet been demonstrated, and a
. moderate amount of development work
on the ground already held, copper
mining is practically in the same con
ditlon that It was In 1908. when a re
port on the district by F. H. Moflit and
Adolph Knopf was published as Geo
logical Survey Bulletin 417. A forma
tion containing some lignite, usually
in thin layers and more rarely in beds |
of greater thickness, occurs at a few
places in the region.
