ANCHOR MAKER
A! MENDENHALL
Mendenhall glacier has been lo
cated as a placer claim. The loca
tor is C. K. Boyles, the Juneau
ccncrete anchor man, and a crew
of men under contract from him
will start operations immediately.
Mr. Boyles, on a visit to the
glacier some time ago, was struck
with the possibilities of the place as
a placer proposition, in particular
the big pool so familiar to all visi
tors, which is about a hundred feet
from the spot where the river comes
cut of the face of the glacier. This
pool is forty feet deep in the solid
rock in the bed of the river. Eight
feet is water and 32 feet is soft
sand.
From pannings taken above the
pool and in the pool itself it has
been found that there is considera
ble gold and black sand in the
neighborhood. It is Mr. Boyles’
theory that much of the gold that
has been washed out of the whole
valley above the deep pool has
found lodgment there, and that the
32 feet of sand at the bottom of
the pool will contain a considerable
amount of placer gold.
Backing his .ideas with hard cash,
Mr. Boyles has let a contract calling
for the expenditure of several thou
sand dollars for a tunnel to divert j
the course of the glacial stream
so that the sands in the pool can
be worked.
The tunnel will be driven through
a ledge of rock about jiffy feet from
the point on the face of the glacier
where the stream comes through,
and will be on the right hand side
of the stream going down. At this
spot a tunnel of perhaps a hundred
feet in length will carry the stream,
past the spot to be worked and
empty it again into the regular
channel.
The tunnel itself will be five by
six feet in size, which will be large
enough to carry- all the water in
the stream in the cold weather when
the water is slack.
The Mendenhall valley -s cuite a
large one and the country drained
by tne glacial torrent is neavl'y m-n
eralized, so it would seem that the
pool selected by Mr. Eoyles for his
experiment would be the natural
spot in which the gold would lodge.
It is the first deep spot for manv
nules in the bed of the stream, and
quite naturally, gold, being heavy,
would seek the lowest level and
lodge there.
As the drh ing of the tunnel will
be hard work, it will be some time
before it is completed and the result
of the experiment made known.
