TIN DEPOSITS
in ALASKA
ACCOUNT OF DEVELOP
MENT or THE YORK
TIN REGION
BOTH LODE AND PLACER
Large Amount Of Work
Has Already Been Done

Washington, D. c., May 19.--An in
terestlng account Of the development
of the York tin region, in Alaska. dur
ing 1905 is to be included in the forth
coming progress report of the United
States Geological Survey concerning
its work in Alaska during the past
field season. The report gives a BRIEF
outline of the topography and geology
of the York district ana then describes
the tin properties thus far known,
which include both lode deposits and
placer deposits. Should the lode de-
posits seem to carry sufficient values
to pay for exploitation, they will have
many advantages over placer deposits.
They can be operated during the en-
s.ire year while placer deposits can be
worked only during the short open
season, and the work is subject even
then to the frequent delays and in
convenience caused ~ storms, floods.
and lack Of water.
The lode deposits include those of
the Lost River area, the Cape Moun-
tain area, the Buck Creek area, and
the Ears Mountain area. On Cape
Mountain prospecting for tin has been
carried on since 1902, and large
amount Of work has been done. Fine
pieces Of float tin were found at many
places in the vicinity Of Cape Noun
tain, but it was not until 1904 that the
ore was found in place. During 1905
there were further discoveries Of tin
ore that made the outlook more en-
couraging. SO far no producing tin
lodges have been found in the Buck
Creek area but several small tin
bearing veins were located last sum
mer Prospecting on Ears Mountain
continued during the season Of 1905.
The only placer tin deposits found
in Alaska that have had any output
are those on Buck Creek They have
produced to date about 81 tons OF ore
that would average probably 65 per
cent. Of metallic tin. The other placer
deposits described are those OF Grouse
Greek, Red Fox Creek, and other
creeks flowing into Loops Lagoon,
Mint River, and OF streams flowing
from Ears Mountain.
