COM. FIELDS OF
ALASKA PENINSULA
Mineral Resources Described In
Report by United 8tates Geo
logical Survey
Like a groat curved dagger 120
miles in thickness at the hilt an.J
trending south and west for a dis
tance of nearly GOO miles, the
Alaska Peninsula presents one of
the most striking of land forma
tions. Beyond it stretches the
chain of the Aleutian islands a
thousand miles farther. The coast
line of the pcinsula is ragged and
irregular, with innumerable in
dentations and hold dill's and
headlands.
"The (ieology and Mineral Re
sources of Parts of Alaska Pen
insula" is the title of a report hy
Wallace \V. Atwood, recently is
sued hy Ihe United States (Seolog
ieat Survey. During Ihe llussian
occupation of Alaska many facts
concerning the geology of the
peninsula were colluded, hul the
study hy Dall and Hecker, of the
- (ieulogical Survey, of the coal and
K«dd deposits of Unga island and
<»r sumo of tlio coal beds of the
mainland in 1895 represents the
first jtl tonipi at systematic inves
tigation of the. mineral resour
ces. Martin, in 1003 and 1904,
made (tie first examination of the
petroleum seepages. Meanwhile
other investigators had contribut
ed t*» the knowledge of the gen
eral geology.
The prosecution of the Survey's
general plan -of investigating the
coiil resources of Alaska led to
Mi. At wood's work, which includ
ed I he three most important local
ef<al fields, the Chignik, Hcren
il 'en hay anid Unga. Incidentally
fce collected considerable infor
mal ion in regard to the general
■jgeology and mineral iv-sonrces «I
'die entire- peninsula.
Mapping was done in some de
tail in the surveyed ooal fields and
I he results are set fwrlli wit 11 con
siderable confidence as to their
accuracy. Far less'definite infor
mal ion was obtained as to the
areal and strategic geology «»f t fo
rest «»] the penin^nla. If funds
are available, more detailed inves
tigations of the geology and min
eral deposits will be undertaken
when the mining advancement
seems to demand'(h.mii. As early
as 1KT» \ at tempts were made tn
mine coal on Cook lulet. Coal
damn; were staked on 1'nga is
land in the early seventies, and
fen vrars later -fcome systematic
mining at this and other locali
ties ,rri southwestern Alaska was
begun. The rapid development
of the more accessible coal fields
<»f California, Washington, and
Vancouver island, which began
about 1H70, supplied the west
coast, market, and from that time
until very recently little atten
tion has been givon to Alaskacoal.
Mining to supply local demand
has, 'however, continued in the
peninsula to the present day.
The Moose will be at homo
again tomorrow evening for a
good social time. Tho entiro
bouse will ho open for the occa
sion and while some dance others
may enjoy the pleasure of games
in the club room. Tho follow
ing Indies will act as hostesses
for this occasion: Mrs. Fred But
torworth, Mrs. a F. Guthrie and
Mrs. J. A. McOilvary.
