L. H. Kappler, Fairbanks; mining’.*
man, returned to Fairbanks a- few j
lays, ago after. four months- in the :
Lower Kuskokwim -ilstrici, where he ;
investigated a-. large area of mining.:
ground for a San Franciscoi concern
.vhich had taken an option on the
property, says the Fairbanks News
Miner.
While in the Kuskokwim country?,
Mr. Kappler investigated the plat-j
inum mines on the Salmon river, -
about fifteen -miles below Goodnews ’
bay.' Many contradictory opinions as!
to the extent of the deposits have.
Been' heard; but after a thorough ex-1
amination Mr. Kappler is assured'
that “there is certainly nothing to
justify a stampede.” - Platinum was i
discovered there in 1926 aml-the mini i
owners expected a big year in 1927, j
hut despite, the fact that twelver-men '
worked the entire season less than
{500* worth of the mineral .-tvas; proe
duced. Glacier action i sgiven-by-Mr
Kappler as the r- ason for hia belief j.
that no large deposits will he discov
ered. During the-glacier period "the
mineral was distributed irt spots and
has not been* concentrated again, he
said!
Mr. Kappler spent most of his time
at Arolic .river, where he examined
the dredging ground. A number of
Fairbanks men, including Albert
Bell, Hans Fohn-Hansen, Ed Hol
brook and Carl Selberg, are interest
ed in the property,.
Jack HarJdson, who was in the
Fairbanks and Fortymile districts in
the early days, is the only miner now
operation on the lower part of the
Kuskokwim. He has a.' ground-sluic
ing proposition on Butte creek, which
returns him about $2,000 annually.
As a. matter of fact south of Bethel
to Goednews Bay, a distance of ISO
miles, and from the coast-to the hills,
there are fewer than twenty white
persons.
Trapping is the main aetivity in
the immediate rteighborhOmb ■ of
Bethel, Mr. happier says. Anchorage
airplanes "t ook out more than $lbO;000
worth of fur from therethis winter.
The most ambitioult milling project
in the country is>on Bear creek, where
the New York-Alaska' Dredging Com
pany is operating a small boat. ■ 1 ■
