MASS Is NEARLY PURE

WAsHiNdroN, May i6--An interesting
deposit of baritc. on heavy spnr." was
discovered by Ernest T.. Burchatd OF the
Geological Survey while searching for
marble deposits In southeastern NlJskl in
September. 1914. This h1rte Is situated
on one OF the Castle Islands. In Duncan
Canal. q long. narrow bay three to ten
miles west OF the well known Wrangcll
Narrows. and Is by navigHblc waterways
about forty miles northwest " the town
OF Wrangell
There is little in the appearance Of the
deposit to suggest that It IL other than q
elm OF wea;herbeaten. fractured lime
stone and 1t is probable that fishermen
have sailed past II or have anchored their
boats In Its lee for more than a genera
ton. never suspecting that II Is composed
almost wholly OF barium sulphate. a min
eral that In very useful but Is much less
common than those that make up the bulk
OF rock masses. At any rate there was
no evidence that the deposit had ever
been prospected prior to the visit OF tn.
survey party. Tho material must be
handled to he appreciated. II IL little
softer than limestone. but about one and
two-thlrds times as heavy.
The rock mass formed by the barite
stands az n block connected with ono OF
tho islands by low narrow neck about
400 feet long that IL covered By water 10
a depth of 1--WE TO ten feet at high tide.
The top OF this barite CUTLER stands about
thirty-five feet above high tide level and
the mass IL possibly at the maximum 7s
feet wide and 200 feet long. According 20
|, rough calculation based on measure
nents by pacing there should be more
than 60. 600 short tons OF bartte available
above high tide level. Neither the ap-
pearance OF the mass nor its geologic re-
lations and structure offer very clear sus-
Festfons as 10 Its nature or origin, but II
IL supposed to represent the residual nor
ton OF a large vein OF barite extending
parallel to the schstoslty OF the rock ~
the adjacent island. which Is composed
mainly OF schist
The barite where fresh Ia for the most
part finely crystalline, Rrayish white
rock with thin grayish blue veins and thin
black streaks a little of the barite n
! coarsely crystalline and white In color
and some white quartz IL present in thin
seams and small segregatlons. Pyrtte is
| nearly everywhere disseminated in fno
specks throughout the mass. The thin
black streaks are segregatlons OF dark
minerals. among which are galena, sphal-
erte, magnetic and graphite On
weathered surfaces the material Is stained
with iron rust resulting from the oxida-
| tion OF the iron pyrites The powdered

The material contains about 1915 Der
cent OF barium sulphate. or barite. and Is
/ therefore nearly 30 per cent. pure. The
chief impurity Is silica, which grinds

The remaining minerals. mainly metallic
oxides and sulphidcs. aggregate less than
40 per cent. although only about POS
per cent IL shown. These are not high
percentages OF Objectionable impurity. and
probably are below those carried by ship
ments OF raw barte from many mines
The barite Is not OF the highest grade
particularly for use as pigment. and u

whether or not IL may be possible com
fnercially to remove the metallic sui
phides and 10 bleach the color TO a pure

q slightly impure raw material would

therefore, that the Alaska barite Is suita-

To build and operate barlte mill

certainly be qunrried and loaded on
barges very cheaply and transported 10

freight rates. The approaches To the
Castle Islands show, according 10 Coast

more than thirty fathoms OF water. There
Is plenty of timber at hand suitable for

According TO j. NJ. I'm OF the survey
the production OF crude barlte in the
United States In 1913 was 45.29S short
