INTRODUCTION. During 1931 muchinterest has been shown in placer-mining. Prospectinghas been par. ticularly active as many men, finding employment difficult to obtain, hare scoured the hills with gold-pan and shovel in search of the yellow metal, which is now more firmly entrenched as the Symbol of real value than eyer before. Development of placer properties has been vigorously prosecuted and productive hydraulics are enjoyinga successful year. The placer-output will uudoubtedly show a substantial increase for the year, as preliminary figuresindicate that largeramounts of ?:old are beingrecovered in the importantareas of Cariboo and Atlin. In the aggregate a considerable amount of gold is being obtained this year by thennmerons prospectors working wiLh panand rocker in manyparts of the Province. Along the Braser, Thompson, Simillrameen, and other rivers, barswllich have been Onworlred for yearshave again been attacked,and in the old placercamps many old diggings' are being reworked. Early in 1930, Bulletin No. 2, entitled " Placer-mining in British Columbia," was issued by theDepartment of Mines. Thisbulletin ,contained reports on specialexaminations of placer areas made in the field season of 1029, and in addition a general summary of placer-mining in the Province, including geological, historiarl, and statistical information regarding this branch of the mineral industry. Owing to the interest in placer-mining the demand for this bulletin hasexhausted the issue. Thepresent bulletin hastherefore been prepared. It contains,in addition to much of the information in the previous issue, additional material in the form of reports by the Resident Rngineers on the placer activities in their respective districts during the present field Season of 1931. A valuablf! addition to the bulletin is the '' Appraisal " of placer possibilities in the Pacific Great Eastern Railway lands by Dr. R. IT'. Brock, who headed the Commission on Mineral ltesources for the investigation made on behalf of the Canadian Pacific Railway, Canadian National Railways, and the Government of British Columbia. A report by theProvincial illineralogist 011 Rainbow creek-a newlydiscovered placercreek in Omineca Division-is also included. Measured by production, placer-minin;: has declined considerablyin recent years. It is expected, however, that 1929 Nil1 mark the lorn point in the present cycle and that the trend mill be upwurd in the future.

It will he noted that the most important period was from 1858 to 1877, with the maximum production in 1863, with an output valued at nearly four million dollars. From 1875 to 1893 a steady decline ensued and then the industry revired until 1904, when an output of $1,115,300 was recorded.Since that time the output dwindled steadily until 1929 with a production of $118,711. An increased production in 1930, it is expected, will be followed with a larger output in 1931, thus reversing the downward trend. Althoughproduction has become negligible, it should not be concluded that there is not interest in the industry. Actually in the last five years much placer-mining has been carried on, but unfortunately without as yet very tangible production results. Much of this work has consisted of testing placer-ground, and in many instances the testing is not conclusive or Com- pleted. In a number of placer-fields of theProvince plants for hydraulicking are being con- structed, and some of these may be expected to be productive .in the future. Mach desultory small-scale work has been carried on, partly to recorer gold and partly to prove up deposits of placer-gravels. AS the known placer-fields of the Province contain many areas which have not heen tested, the question naturally arises whether there is not still a good possibility of reviving placer- mining to something like its former position in the'mineral industry of British Columbia. With this objective.inview, the Honourahle the Uinister of Minesdecided to have some special investigations of placerareas made during the field season of 1929. Accordingly, Herbert Carmiehael, a former Assistant Mineralogist, and now a practising consulting mining engineer, was secured tb make ti report on certain placer areas in the Queen Charlotte and Atlin Mining .Divisions. Also 0. W. Moore, an experienced placer operator, was engaged to make a careful study of^ the placer-fields of Cariboo, Quesnel, and Omineca Mining Divisions. tIe was unable to fully cover this large field in the time available, but did examine many sections of these Divisions.Bulletin No. 2, 1930, containedthese reports and parts of them arereprinted in this bulletin. Most of the maps and photos included in this bulletin do not necessarily represent present placer operations, hut have been used to illustrate the various phases of the industry since its commencement. It is not intended that this bulletin on placer-mining will he reprinted iwthe Annual Report for 1931; it should therefore he preserved by those who desire a permanent file of the puhlica- tions of the British Columbia Department of Mines. GENERAL HISTORICAL REVIEW. Although small amounts of cold were reported to have been obtained from veins on Queen Charlotte Islands, the first real metal-mining in the Province was the reeovery of gold from placer-gravels. At the time of thediscovery of gold in quartz veins on Queen Charlotte Islands James Douglas was Governor of Vancouver'sIsland and Lieutenant-Governor of Queen Charlotte Islands.Accordingly, as Lieutenant-Governor,he issued a proclamation on March 26th. 1853, which was the first mining regulation in the Pacific North-west. This set forth the terms and licence under which the digging or mining of gold could be carried on in the Queen Charlotte Islands. At this time the mainland of the Province was an almost unknown area, commonly known as New Caledonia, and mainly adminktered by the Hudson's Bay Company. The discovery of gold was reported on the Columbia river, near the confiuence of the Pend d'oreille, in 1855, hut this was of little importance. With the discovery of gold on the Thompson river in 1857 and the rapid inausof thousands, Governor Douglas assumed authority to govern the area and issued the following proclamation to regulate the mining of gold :- " PROCLAMATION. " 28th. December, 1857. "Whereas by law all mines of gold and all gold in its natural State of deposit within the Districts of Fraser River and of Thompson's River, commonly known as the Quaatlam, Couteau, and Shawswap countries, whether in the

A glass, since it never crystallizes to form a solid, never changes phase and never has to lose heat of crystallization. Obsidian, supercooled below the crystallization point, remained a liquid. Glasses form when some physical property of a lava restricts ion mobility enough to prevent them from binding together into an ordered crystalline pattern. Aa the viscosity ofthe lava increases, fewer particles arrive at positions of order until no particle arrangement occurs before solidification. In a glaas, the ions must remain randomly arranged; therefore, a magma forming a glass must be extremely viscous yet fluid enough to reach the surface. 1he modem rational explanation for obsidian petrogenesis (Bakken, 1977:88) Some people called a time at the flat named Tok'. They were going to hunt deer. They set snares on the runway at Blood Gap. Adder bad real obsidian. The others made their arrows out of just anything. They did not know about obsidian. When deer were caught in snares, Adder shot and ran as fast as he could to the deer, pulled out the obsidian and hid it in his quiver.

Points of interest include bridges, dams, gaging stations, county lines, hydrologic unit boundaries, and major tributaries. Drainage areas are presented for selected sites, including total drainage area for any streams draining at least 100 square miles. INTRODUCTION Expansion of water-resource investigations within the State of Illinois has amplified the need for a common index to locations on streams. A common index would aid in the coordination of various stream-related activities by facilitating data collection and interpretation.

    Iditarod National Historic Trail I Historic Overview — Robert King

    Iditarod National Historic Trail i Historic Overview — Robert King Introduction: Today’s Iditarod Trail, a symbol of frontier travel and once an important artery of Alaska’s winter commerce, served a string of mining camps, trading posts, and other settlements founded between 1880 and 1920, during Alaska’s Gold Rush Era. Alaska’s gold rushes were an extension of the American mining frontier that dates from colonial America and moved west to California with the gold discovery there in 1848. In each new territory, gold strikes had caused a surge in population, the establishment of a territorial government, and the development of a transportation system linking the goldfields with the rest of the nation. Alaska, too, followed through these same general stages. With the increase in gold production particularly in the later 1890s and early 1900s, the non-Native population boomed from 430 people in 1880 to some 36,400 in 1910. In 1912, President Taft signed the act creating the Territory of Alaska. At that time, the region’s 1 Iditarod National Historic Trail: Historic Overview transportation systems included a mixture of steamship and steamboat lines, railroads, wagon roads, and various cross-country trail including ones designed principally for winter time dogsled travel. Of the latter, the longest ran from Seward to Nome, and came to be called the Iditarod Trail. The Iditarod Trail today: The Iditarod trail, first commonly referred to as the Seward to Nome trail, was developed starting in 1908 in response to gold rush era needs. While marked off by an official government survey, in many places it followed preexisting Native trails of the Tanaina and Ingalik Indians in the Interior of Alaska.

In addition to the traditional archeological excavations of stratified soil deposits, data were recovered from the attic of the Moore Cabin. These assisted in the interpretation of remains on the original cabin site. Approximately 4000 artifacts were found in stratified sheet trash deposits, including items associated with the original settlers of Skagway. Their analysis provided not only details about the lives and incidents of the Moores and their successors, the Kirmses, and the structures in which they lived, but also provided insight into human behavior on America's most recent frontier. In the Moore Cabin attic, remains of clothing used as chinking material provided a glimpse of the frugal life of Skagway's pioneers. The spatial distribution of nails and roofing fragments suggested that the east roof was covered with split shakes and the west half by sawn shingles.
