Tungsten Mining
Report Issued on
Fairbanks Area
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25 — (A>) —'
The 35-year history of tungsten
development in three Alaska areas,
northeast of Fairbanks is outlined
in a report and maps prepared by
F. M. Byers, Jr., of the U. S. Geo
logical Survey.
Their release was announced to
day by Interior Secretary Oscar
Chapman.
All of the areas—Gilmore Dome,
Steele Creek-First Chance Creek
and Pedro Dome—are within 10
to 20 miles of Fairbanks.
Although all are primarily known
for the presence of gold-bearing
quartz lodes, tungsten has been
produced at intervals since 1916.;
The principal producer has been
the Stepovich mine in the Gilmore
Dome area.
Surface explorations by the Bu
reau of Mines and underground de
velopment by private operators on
the Stepovich lode indicate that
about 7,000 tons of ore containing
about 3 percent tungsten trioxide
may still be present.
Other known deposits in this
vicinity are on the Colbert prop
4'ty, Yellow Pup property and
Schubert property. Five deposits
have been more or less prospected
in the Steele Creek-First Chance
area. The Wackwitz and Mizpah
gold-quartz mines have produced
small amounts of scheelite concen
trates as a by-product of gold pro
duction in the Pedro Dome area.
Scheelite is the form in which
tungsten occurs.
Copes of the report are on
file in geological survey offices at
Juneau and Fairbanks, and at the
. ureau of Mines office in Anch
orage.
