Bay district forty miles north of Ju-
neau.
FROM these areas the production in
gold at this time shows that the dis
trict south OF Juneau has produced in
the neighborhood of million dollars;
the Treadwell lode system about six
ty million dollars; Silver Bow Basin
district, three and one-half millions;
and the districts north of Juneau two
million, or total sum of approximately
sixty-seven millions. Practically all
of this has been produced from the
lodes or veins and only small pro-
portion from the placers adjacent to
such veins.
This showing gives the district a
substantial standing, and particularly
so when it is taken into consideration
that there has been a constant and
gradual increase in the yearly output
eliminating in last years output of
nearly five millions.
The past history and development
of the operations throughout this
whole area has determined certain
important characteristics in the Ju-
neau Gold Belt, viz, that although
there is some difference in the char
acter of the ore as found in the va
rious localities the general resem-
blance of the ore bodies and the for
nation surrounding them is striking.
All of the experience and knowledge
brought to bear on this subject not
alone by the government biologists
but by the various engineers who have
studied it has determined that the
genesis of all OF these deposits is the
same, and that from a general stand
point the results obtained in develop
ing one area, so far as continuity of
values are concerned, may be accept
ed as a standard of what may be en-
pected in all of the areas.
There are certain special features
which deserve mention and which have
definite bearing on the future of
the district The most important of
these is that throughout the whole Pa
cific Coast this is one of the few places
where the mineral zone lies directly
on and adjacent to the natural chan
nels of water transportation. Second,
the high mountains forming the hang
ing wall of the lode system act as
bulwark and precipitant to the mois-
ture laden atmosphere coming in from
the ocean creating conditions favora.
BILE to the development of cheap and
abundant hydro-electric power. The
third feature is that the lode system,
so far as determined, has such metal.
lurgical characteristics as to permit
of simple and easy extraction of val
ues.
These three factors are necessary to
and actually make possible the cheapest
known working costs so far obtained
anywhere in the world, which is the
keynote to the operations in this par
ticular district.
The deposits already being develop
ed are unlike those of Goldfield, Co
bait or other high grade sections, but,
The Alaska daily empire., 1915-01-01

u would be low grade as such, and
then CARRYING on mining and milling
onerations on a sufficiently extensive
scale so that the working costs would
ba low enough to permit Of small
margin of profit.
This evolution has reached its final
stage considering it from this view
point in the operations carried on in
and adjacent to Juneau at the present
time, and is under consideration in
the study of all of the other deposits
now being developed and studied in
the various areas north and south of
Juneau.
The first to reach this class were
the Treadwell mines on Douglas ISL
and. The history of their oper-
atoms is too we'll known to re-
ouire discussion in this article but it
is interesting to note that these mines
have produced to date approximately
sixty millions of dollars, are now

struction and development, at least IN
this district.
In fact, in view of the interest
which has been shown in connection
with such construction and develop
ment by all of the mining operators
throughout the country the results OBJ
tanned will undoubtedly have strong
influence on the operation of low
grade properties not alone in Alaska
but throughout the world.
The Alaska Gastineau Mining Com
pany owns and controls approximate
ly three miles in length on the lode
system in the locally known Silver
Bow Basin District. In fact, the first
step in the organization of the COM
pany was the bringing together OF the
smaller groups so that there was a
large enough ore zone and great
enough tonnage under consider alton to
permit of the financing and operation
of these properties on proper scale.

-HE recent extensive developments
in the mining fields adjacent to
Juneau. the capital of Alaska,
have brought the district into such
general prominence that some little
study of the past history. its pres
ent position and its future outlook
should be OF general public interest.
In recent years the mining industry
not alone in America but generally
speaking all over the world, has i'm
proved it's position not so much
though the discovery of new mining
districts but rather through the scien-
tific study and enlarged development
of old deposits. BY bringing to bear
on the problem the three necessary
elements, viz, modern business meth
DDS, large sums of money and high
class engineering. it has been possible
to work ore on an extensive scale
which only a few years ago was en-
tirely out of consideration.
The sane evolution which is mark
ing all of the industries of modern lie
may be said 10 apply directly to mod
ern mining and is particularly Illus
tra;ed in the history of this district.
Gold in the form oil placer was first
discovered in this district at Sumdum.
Windhan. Bay, in the year 1870. In
1880, Joe Juneau and Richard Harris
landed at the mouth of Gold Creek and
discovered float followed its lead up
into Silver Bow Basin, finding at the
same time the Silver Bow Basin pla-
GERS and the lode system nearby. Fol-
lowing this discovery there was a
rush into the district in the year 1881.
The town was first named Harrisburg,
in honor of Richard Harris, but later
was changed to its present name OF
Juneau From this time forward up
&c the present. period of thirty-ive
years, this district has witnessed a
gradual but continuous expansion and
development.
Through the efforts of prospectors
and mining companies and the United
States Geological Survey the limits
and boundaries of the Juneau Gold
Belt have been extended and defined
so that at this date we have fairly
well recognized zone, extending from
Windham Bay, on the south, on
through Juneau to Berners Bay on
the north, all contributory to the town
of Juneau.
Although the naturalization of this
belt is fairly continuous and persis-
tent throughout, there are certain de-
finite areas or localities which have
received a greater amount of develop
ment and prospecting and where the
naturalization has been stronger and
more pronounced. These localities at
the present time may be roughly de-
termined as follows: The Windham
Bay and Sumdum district forty miles
south of Juneau. the Treadwell lode
system on Douglas Island, the Silver
Bow Basin district just back of Ju-
neau, the AUX Bay district fifteen
miles north Eagle River district twen-
ty-five miles north, and the Berners
The Alaska daily empire., 1915-01-01

This consolidation was effected
early in the year 1911, and, after
very careful study of the deposits
which had been carried on for two
years previous to that time and of the
results obtained by the operations pre-
viously carried on, general devel-
opment and construction program
was decided on and financial arrange
ments made commensurate thereto.
This program may be briefly de-
scribed as follows: The mine was to
be developed through a system Of
levels, oreways and the preparation of
stopes so that it would be in a posi-
ton to deliver economically at least
six thousands tons Of ore per day.
Compressors, machine shops, boarding
houses and all other accessories me-
cessary to such operations were to

on the contrary, are of a distinctively
low grade type. They are generally
areas of country rock traversed by a
network of stringers geologically
known as stringer zones. The small
stringers and lenses while high grade
are in most instances impossible of
being worked by themselves. and as
result the area as whole, stringers
and intervening country rock, make
up the ore bodies.
The evolution, so far as the working
of the deposits in this district is con-
cerned, is emphasized by the follow
ing facts:
The Alaska daily empire., 1915-01-01

thousand tons Of ore every twenty
four hours.
The milling plant, so far as gold
mining is concerned, Is metallurgi-
cally new, both as to the grinding OF
the ore and as to the extraction OF the
values. The equipment throughout Is
of the highest class that money can
buy and the plant as a whole
stands in the front rank as an Illus
tration of modern science and engin-
eering.
The actual results obtained from
the operations already carried out ex-
coed the original estimates. That is
to say, working costs are already less
than the original estimate Of seventy
five cents. So far as values are con-
cerned, there is general misunder-
standing regarding this subject which
might be well pointed out. For in
stance, in the development of these
large low grade masses various Sec
tions will naturally have higher or
lower grade values both in depth and
lateral extent If any definite value
is placed on the ore which is to be
handled to the mill the tonnage in
the deposit will necessarily be limited
to that particular value, whether such
value be placed at one dollar per ton
or five dollars per ton. This is man
ifestly an incorrect way of handling
the enterprise. The value of the ore
milled should be and is dependent on
the working costs and the losses. 1t
may be confidently stated that the
working costs and losses in these par
ticular properties under consideration
can be brought within eighty cents
per ton Therefore, anything above
eighty cents per ton is profit, that is
to say: one dollar ore would mean
twenty cents profit; dollar and quar-
ter ore would be forty-five cents pro-
fit, and dollar and half ore would
give seventy cents profit.
Therefore if the capitalization Of
the company is taken into consider
alton and a fair rate of interest con.
sidered on such capital the profits
necessary to pay a reasonable inter-
est on such capitalization is the deter
mining factor and the value Of the
ore which will be mined and milled
will be based on such figures. This
method UNNECESSARILY increases the
tonnage available in the mine and de.
creases the working costs in like
proportion.
In connection with this statement OF
unusual low costs Of operation which
are now being obtained on the proper
ties situated in Silver Bow Basin. 1t
might be well to mention at this time
that it does not follow that all low
grade deposits situated in this district,
or elsewhere for that matter, are capa-
BILE of being worked with the same re-
suits. Nor does it follow that lodes
having similar charactistics so far as
appearance are concerned are neces-
sarily mines in the making.
AS matter of fact, when 1t Is con-
sidered that the margin Of profit over
and above working costs is so small
and that immense sums of money are
required to equip and operate this
type Of property, it can readily be
: seen that ventures of this sort can
only be undertaken after the most
careful consideration and study fol-

crushing close to five thousand tons Of
ore per day, and are mining ore having
a value of approximately $500 per
ton from which margin of profit
VARYING from fifty cents to $1.OO is be-
ing made.
The second deposit of the same
class which has reached the operating
period is the Alaska Gastineau Min
ing company, owned and controlled
by the Alaska Gold Mines Company,
and as the organization, development
and equipment of this property has
occurred in the last three years per-
hitting the very latest knowledge. ex-
perience and skill to be brought to
hear on the problem, discussion of
the methods used will be of particu-
lar interest as it sets a standard in
a general way for all similar con-
