G. Hilker, P, Eng. - Tron Duik Consultants Ltd. WORK DONE FOR: Roxanne Hilker RFHARKS: 115 - N - North Ladue River Area. R. G. Hilker carried out an geological compilation and evaluation of the claims. The claims were explored and rotary drilled by a previous company during the 1980's. The potential exsists for mining a series of pay streaks. Much of the data was reported in previous reports by Hilker. The North Ladue River area is beginning to display renewed exploration activity due to the rebuilding of the Matson Creek road in 1991. Hilker hopes to raise funds for a proper mining plan.

William Ogilvie (Honour Roll) was as distinguished in his profession as a Dominion land surveyor as his government colleagues were in the field of geology. While his hard labour as a salaried government employee didn't garner much monetary wealth, he did earn a rich legacy as one of the most outstanding figures in early Yukon history. In 1887, Ogilvie was chosen to travel into the Yukon District with George Mercer Dawson (Honour Roll) and Richard George McConnell (Honour Roll) with the expressed purpose of exploring the portion of Canada's Northwest Territories drained by the Yukon River.

Dedicated professional staff located in Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Kenai Fish and Wildlife Offices and the Anchorage Conservation Genetics Laboratory serve as the core of the Program’s fisheries management study efforts. Administrative and technical support is provided by staff in the Anchorage Regional Office. Our program works closely with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game and other partners to conserve and restore Alaska’s fish populations and aquatic habitats. Our fisheries studies occur throughout the 16 National Wildlife Refuges in Alaska as well as off- Refuges to address issues of interjurisdictional fisheries and aquatic habitat conservation. Additional information about the Fisheries Program and work conducted by our field offices can be obtained at: http://alaska.fws.gov/fisheries/index.htm The Alaska Region Fisheries Program reports its study findings through the Alaska Fisheries Data Series (AFDS) or in recognized peer-reviewed journals. The AFDS was established to provide timely dissemination of data to fishery managers and other technically oriented professionals, for inclusion in agency databases, and to archive detailed study designs and results for the benefit of future investigations. Publication in the AFDS does not preclude further reporting of study results through recognized peer-reviewed journals.

  • Placer Geology and Prospective Exploration Targets of Sixtymile River Area, West-Central Yukon W
    Placer geology and prospective exploration targets of Sixtymile River area, west-central Yukon W. LeBarge Placer geology and prospective exploration targets of Sixtymile River area, west-central Yukon William LeBarge1 Yukon Geological Survey LeBarge, W., 2006. Placer geology and prospective exploration targets of Sixtymile River area, west- central Yukon. In: Yukon Exploration and Geology 2005, D.S. Emond, G.D. Bradshaw, L.L. Lewis and L.H. Weston (eds.), Yukon Geological Survey, p. 155-174. ABSTRACT Sixtymile River alluvial deposits can be subdivided into four main types, on the basis of age and physiographic setting. These are pre-Reid and older; interglacial (prior to the McConnell glacial episode); modern (Holocene); and technogenic. All deposit types are placer-gold-bearing, and historically the most placer gold has been produced from modern (Holocene) deposits, followed by pre-Reid and older, interglacial, and finally, technogenic deposits. Prospective placer gold exploration targets still exist and include 1) pre-Reid and older buried abandoned channels; 2) interglacial buried and/or abandoned alluvial terraces; 3) modern (Holocene) alluvial channels and gulches; and 4) technogenic deposits. Various exploration techniques can be used to evaluate these targets including airphoto interpretation, seismic and ground-penetrating radar surveys, electrical resistivity and magnetometer surveys, auger and reverse circulation drilling, and bulk sampling. RÉSUMÉ Les dépôts alluviaux de la région de Sixtymile se répartissent selon l’âge et le cadre physiographique en quatre grands groupes principaux. Ceux-ci sont d’âge pré-Reid et plus anciennes; des dépôts alluviaux interglaciaires (antérieur à l’époque glaciaire de McConnell); des dépôts alluviaux contemporains (Holocène); et des dépôts résultant du développement technologique.

  • Placer Mining in the Fortymile, Eagle, and Seventymile River, Districts
    PLACER MINING IN THE FORTYMILE, EAGLE, AND SEVENTYMILE RIVER, DISTRICTS. By E. A. PORTEK. GENERAL CONDITIONS. The estimated value of the .combined gold production of the Fortymile and Seventymile river districts for 1911 was 1212,000; the estimated value of the output for 1910 was $200,000. The result of the work done during the open season of 1911 was disappointing to most of the small operators in these districts, as the creeks were at an extreme minimum stage for practically the entire season, and it was impossible to strip or tear down any large areas of overburden in order to get at the gold on bedrock. The winter operations were somewhat more successful, however, but even the winter yardage was considerably less, for fewer miners were at work on the creeks than in preceding years. On the other hand, the dredges and other large enterprises were very successful, and the result of ttyeir work tended to overcome the general depression prevailing among the smaller operators. 'The increase of the gold output for 1911 over that for 1910 must be attributed to the success of the two dredges on the headwaters of Fortymile River. They were the only dredges in operation in the district during 1911, but their success was so marked that no doubt others will be installed, especially on Seventymile River. It was fortunate that these dredges were so successful, for they gave employ­ ment to many men who otherwise would have had to leave the dis­ trict for more promising fields. The drought and the abandonment of Fort Egbert, at Eagle, threw many men out of employment, forcing them to seek work in other parts of the district or elsewhere.
