QUARTZ MINING IN ALASKA

Report What Thsy Founi.
San FRAHc1seo, Oct. 49, mong the
passengers on the steamer Berths,
which has Just arrived from Alaska,
were ]. 3. Spur, II. 3. Goodrich and
s. 81 sSchrader Of the United States
Geological survey. They were sent by
the department to Alaska last spring to-
make q report on prospects of quartz
mining il that region, and they spent
the entire summer in pursuing their in
vestigations and observations. They
crossed the Chilkat Pass and reached
the Upper Yukon about the middle Of
June They then went down the Yu-.
kon to it's mouth, pursuing their inyes-
at the various mining settle
ments on their way and reached Fort
st. Michaels, at the mouth of tho Yukon
three weeks ago, sailing almost imme-
diately for San Francisco.
Will BE Profitable Properties,
They have satisfied themselves, they
say, that the prospects of profitable
quartz mining in Alaska are very good,
and will make a report to that effect.
There is a big ledge running northwest
and southeast through the country
similar to the mother lode in Califor-
mia, and they expect to see many big
mines opened on the ledge before many
years have passed. At present placer
mining is the only process in vogue on
the Yukon and its tributaries. They
declare that quartz mining can only be
conducted at great expense but they
believe that plenty Of ore can be found
of sufficient richness to make quartz
mining not only a paying, but a profit
able venture. The chief obstacles to be
encountered are mosquitoes and cold
winters #E
