Phosphates
By GENEVIEVE PARKER
Student in Alaska Agricultural College
and School of Mines
Phosphate deposits have not yet
been found in Alaska. Important de
posits have been developed during re
cet years in Idaho, Montana and
Utah. During the past year similar
deposits have been found in British
Columbia. All of these western de
posits are confined to a distinct geo
logic series of sedimentary docks. It
is possible that this phosphate-bearing
formation is present in Alaska. It
can be easily overlooked, hence this
opportunity is taken to mention cer
tain of its salient features.
Phosphates are of two types: (1)
Mineral Phosphates and (2) Rock
Phosphates.
The first type can safely be eliminat
ed from the list of valuable fertilizers
with the exception, perhaps, of the
Canadian apatite. The other phos
phate, the one of interest to the pros
pector, is the rock phosphate.
The rock phosphate in turn is divid
ed into two parts: (1) the phosphatic
limestones and (2) the guanos and
bone beds.
It is with the great western field
that the Alaskan is primarily concern
ed when considering the possibility
of an Alaskan field. This field, which
lies in Idaho and Montana, supplies
the great western demand for phos

phates as well as exporting apprec
iable quantities to the Orient.
To anyone interested in the possi
bility of finding phosphate deposits in
Alaska, the foregoing description will
be of importance, as this is the kind
of phosphate deposit (phosphate rock)
to be looked for.
Phosphate rock of the Idaho variety
is distinguished in the field by the
following characteristics:
Oolithic texture (like fish eggs).
Color varies from coaly black to
dull gray or may be iron-stained (red
dish).
The float is marked by a thin film
of bluish white, bonelike coating re
sembling chalcedony.
It yields, when struck, a character
istic fetid odor which is described by
some as more nearly sulphurous. The
odor is not particularly disagreeable,
but it is extremely penetrating. Cau
tion:—The odor alone is no't an in
fallible sign of phosphorus as it may
be present when no phosporus is car
ried by the rock. The strength of
the odor does not depend upon the
percentage of phosphorus carried.)
The phosphate deposits are associat
ed with sedimentary formations. Most
commonly the prevailing formation is
limestone, but shales and cherts often
occur in the phosphate-bearing forma
tions.
...
In the Idaho oeurrence the phosphor
us beds occur in the Permian and
.sometimes in the Upper Mississippian
strata.
At the present time it would take
enormous beds in Alaska to compete
with the great Idaho deposits in the
Oriental trade. If the discovery were
I made adjacent to the coast of Alaska,
j however, the Alaskan beds would have
j an enormous advantage over the Ida
ho beds in the matter of quick and
cheap transportation to the Orient.
For this to be possible i-t must be as
sumed that the deposits are not han
dicapped by mining difficulties.
A certain amount of phosphates is
needed in Alaska for farm fertilizer,
but as Alaskan farm production is
* necessarily limited by the amount of
Alaskan consumption, this will not
justify a business on a large scale
until the population increases.
The mining of phosphates, however,
does not call for large scale opera
tions and for that reason can be car
ried out on a small scale with very
little equipment.
Due to the readily available and al
most inexhaustible supplies of phos
phates in Idaho, my opinion is that, un
less large, accessible deposits near
the sea coast are found, the mining
of phosphates in Alaska would not be
profitable at the present time except
in a very small ■way to satisfy local
demands.
