the Gold &ah ch ~f Carlson Creek on t h e north sfds-of-the-creek a d ,, f / ; : , extending approximately 6.000 f ee t i n &;-?&&tion from the junction with Carlson Creek. ho c l a i m , which k 6 e r veins with ta NE. s t r i ke , have common s ide l i n e s and overlap the claims which run northwes.t;erly. The, property i e approximately 7 a l e s from Juneau by t ra i l and nearly the same dis tance from the mouth of Carlaon Creek.

Ilhe Premier had an option on the property i n 1932 which a t t ha t time included 21 c l a i m . Approximately 16 men worked on the property f o r 6 weeks and about 600 sample^ were taken.

On t he Kathleen claim, a t an elevat ion of 1360 f e e t , a 150' tunnel has bee11 driven t o in tercept a vein which outcrops on the surface a t an e levat ion of 1520 fee t . By using an angle shot from the por ta l of the tunnel t o the outcrop, and the differonoe i n elevation determined by aneroid, 180 foe t was determined a s the approximate distance from t h e po r t a l t o the vein.

'l'he uchistose country sock at t h e portal s t r i k e s N. 70° E., d ip 55' N., 120 f e e t from the por t a l the s t r i k e i a N. 300 E., d ip 700 N., and a t t he face, it s t r i k e s nearly north with u ve r t i c a l dip.

P l a t e A a l s o shows the p o s i t i o n of the l eng th ~f a very probable ore be tmen the Kathleen ve ins and t h e W i l l i a m R . , t o t a l i n g 190 f e e t .

The W i l l i a t l i R. has never been exposed between the Lower Kathleen and the Upper Kathleen. About t h i r t y f e e t above i t s covered i n t e r s e c t i o n w i t h the Upper Kathleen, t h e f i r s t s i x t y f e e t averages 0.10 oz. gold a c r ~ s s an average width sf t e n f e e t . This i s not ore , but i t does show t h a t there has been q u m t z and gold minera l iza t ion s ince the f a u l t i n g took p lace .

It seems t o the w r i t e r t h a t the W i l l i a m R. vein might be ore f o r the length between Upper Kathleen and Lower Kathleen. I f t h i s proves t o .be t r u e , ore 1engt;h of 260 f e e t w i l l be added t o the b t a l . There a r e d i f f e r e n t ages of quar tz i n the Kathleen veins . Usually the gold mineral i - za t ion occurs wi th the youngest quar tz ; a l s o the ore shoots i n t h e Lenora ve in occur n e w g r a n i t i c tongues and dikes. The sur face i s covered near t h e p a r t of the William R. between the lower and Upper Kathleen. I f a g r a n i t i c i n t r u s i o n caused t h e pos t - fau l t minera l iza t ion I t would be a reasonzble explanation of t he gold in the Lower and Upper Kathleen ad- Jacent t o Wil1:Lam R, where 'the veins were s h a t t e r e d by the f a u l t i n g , and a l s o i t would mean t h e W i l Z i a m R. might wel l ca r ry good gold values between t h e Lower and Upper Kathleen. Also i f the minera l iza t ion i s pre- f a u l t and o c c u ~ r e d along both Kathleen and W i l l i a m R. a s an i n t e r s e c t i o n o re body, s t i l l a f t e r t h e f a u l t i n g the W i l l i a m R. between t h e f a u l t e d p a r t s of t h e Kathleen would probably be ore .

There w e a l s o o the r d e f i n i t e p o s s i b i l i t i e a of new ore being found on the proper ty , notably a t t h e i n t e r s e c t i o n of the Lower Kathleen and Alice veina i n t h e v i c i n i t y 0.f Johnny1 C l a r k t s caved tunnel where the c a r wheels l i e .

The w r i t e r recommends that t h e payment due January 1, 1940 be made.

It i s recommended t h a t a comprbessor be taken i n over the snow i n February and the t e n t 'camp re-es tabl i shed when t h e snow LEI gone, probably the l a t t e r p a r t of May.

It i s recommended t h a t . 'the porttable compressor be taken near t h e Upper Kathleen tunnel and t h a t the nor theas t d r i f t be extended t o and under th.e William R. Faul t ve in . This can 'be done before a91 t h e snow i s gone.

GENISRAIJ FEATURES --- Location - It i s s i x m i l e ~ up Carlson Creek and one mile up

Gold Fork, seven miles a l t o g e t h e r from Sunny Cove, Taku I n l e t . There i s a foot t r a i l (no t used f o r s i x yea r s ) and some work i s necessary t o brush out and regrade across s l i d e s . The outcrops now found a r e a t e levat ions of 1300 t o 1800 f e e t .

Water Power - J. C. Dort of the U. S. Forest Service says a 100 foot dam can be loca ted a t the f o r k s a l i t t l e pver two miles above i t s mouth g iv ing 15,000 acre- fee t of s torage. !'The primary power capaci ty f o r development wi th a power house at t h e mouth of Carlson Creek would be approximately 3,000 mechanical horsepower at gO pe r cent e f f i c i e n c y and 100 p e r cent u t i l i ~ a t i o n . ~

There i s a l s o t h e p o s s i b i l i t y of buying power from the ,Alaska Juneau Annex Creelc power p l a n t . I t s power l i n e is approxi- inately f o u r miles from t h e proper ty .

Timber - There i s p r a c t i c a l l y no timber on the claims. There is some f a i r timber on Carlson Creek about a mile from the property.

Claims and Ownership - The map shows t h e ~ l i x claims, E f f i e , Kathileen, Al ice . Grizzly. Lenora. and W i l l i a m R., f o r which assess- - , ment work' has been done. The proper ty i s owned b y - ~ e s s r s . John P r i c e , Larry McKechnie, Robert CoughSin, P h i l i p ' F. McKanna, and Alfred Bonnett, a l l of whom r e s i d e i n Juneau.

CONCLUSION. ---- The f i v e ore shoots d i sc losed by t h e 1932 open cut work t o t a l

204 square f e e t of 164 tons per f o o t of depth wi th a gold value of 2 . 0.3 oz. The w r i t e r considers the p r o b a b i l i t i e s f o r more ore p a r t i c u - l e l y good i n view of t h e i n t e r s e c t i o n p o s s i b i l i t i e s of t h e ve ins wi th ehem zone. Accordingly the reasonable expectancy of ore might ell be increased .to 'jOO tons pe r foot a f$ l l . 0 go:Ld ore. There i s at l e a s t enough s i l v e r to b r i n g t h e value t o il 13.00 i n gold and ~ i l v e r . Further prospect ing may a l s o add t o the expected tonnage.

No me ta l lu rg ica l t e s t s have been made on t h e ore, but s u l - phides are sparse and i t i s apparent ly an ore easy t o t r e a t by amalga- mation and cyanidation. Re jec t s of t h e w r i t e r ' s samples a r e a v a i l a b l e f o r meta l lurg ica l t e s t s .
