NOME MAN MAKES DISCOVERY
OF RICH CINNABAR DEPOSIT
W. H. Merritt arrived in Nome
from his mining properties on Swede
creek in the vicinity of Bluff and
brings with him many samples of
Cinnabar (Hg. S.) The samples
consist of the rock as found in
place and also the pure Cinnabar
■which has been concentarated by re
ducing the rock to a powder and
then panning the precipitates. Mr.
Merritt has also subjected the Cin
nabar to the roasting process which
has given him the pure quicksilver
The cinnabar has been found in
place and in large quantities, yield
ing it is estimated, eight percent
pure cinnabar of mercuric sulphide.
It is found in a four foot ledge
with a fifteen foot cap of lime stone
outcropping along the bluff on
Swede creek. At present the owner
is at work running a cross cut a
hout 200 feet from the discovery
point, so to determine the extent
of the ledge. Properties controlled
by Mr. Merritt extend about one
and one half miles in the general
direction of the ledge.
The gravels surrounding and cov
ering this deposit of cinnabar are
heavy carriers of gold and in fact
the two elements are inseparable in
this particular section of the coun
try. Where cinnabar is found there
also is found gold, as soon as the
cinnabar disappears the gold, like
wise is absent. This condition has
been examined by Mr. Mimmler, the
government engineer, and he has
stated that the cinnabar deposit con
tains the source of the Swede creek
gold.
At the present time there are but
three large, commercial deposits of
Cinnabar in the world, they are
found in Spain, California and Ger
many. In fact the entire quick sil
ver supply of the production of
these three mines.
If the property of Mr Merritt is
developed and proves that the pre
sent indications are extensive Alaska
will have a mining asset that will
be of tremendous value to the ter
ritory and to the world.

Commercial methods in vogue in

sired quicksilver is to roast the rock

which result in pure quick silver. i
This winter a building will be
