In response to an urgent denland by the public, the Geological Survey, in 1900, undertook a topographic and geologic reconnaissance of the southern half of the Seward Penins~la.~The area mapped embraced the more important gold fields of the peninsula. The topographic map made in 1900 included the drainage of Bering Sea from Cape Darby to Port Clarence, the southern drainage of Grantley Harbor and Imuruk Basin, and the northern drainage of Norton Sound. A geologic reconnaissance was also made of the York nlining district and of part of the Kuzitrin drainage. In view of the northern extension of these gold fields it was deemed desirable that the northern part of the peninsula should be investigated, and a party wag organized for this purpose in 1901. This party, to which the writer was detailed as geologist, was placed under the 'leadership of Mr. T. G. Gerdine, topographer; Mr. D. C. TVitherspoon acted ah assistant topographer, and Ed. Brown, Robert Baskins, Samuel Conrad, J. G. De Forest, and E:. Goodall were engaged as camp hands. Twelve horses were provided for the transportation of the camp outfit in the field. It was thought that a party thus organized and equipped would be able to cover a larger area than any one party of the previous season, when canoes and men were used for transportation. This expectation was realized, although a backward and unusually stormy season made the work difficult and prevented the accomplishment of the entire planYbwhich contemplated the comple- tion of the survey of the peninsula.

In marriage, they formed a team that created a remarkably stable, family-owned firm, N.B. Tweet and Sons, which has mined gold in Alaska for 110 years. Nicholas and Evinda mined and lived in several placer mining camps, worked graphite claims, operated gold dredges, and inspired their descendants to continue the placer mining lifestyle. Both Evinda and Nick died at the family mining camp, near Taylor, north of Nome. In 2010, N.B. Tweet and Sons operated the only bucketline stacker gold dredge in North America. Carl S.

  • Background Paper on Subsistence Salmon Fishery, Inmachuk River
    BACKGROUNDPAPER ON SUBSISTENCE SALMONFISHERY, INMACHUKRIVER, DEERING Technical Paper dll0 Sandra Sobelman Alaska Department of Fish and Game Division of Subsistence Fairbanks, Alaska March 1984 Introduction In 1982, the northern Seward Peninsula community of Deering, through their representative on the Arctic Regional Council, requested that the Board of Fisheries consider the feasibility of a regulatory change which would permit the commercial marketing of salmon from the Inmachuk River. When the Board addressed this request at their December 1982 regulatory session, they considered the current level of biological and sociocultural information on the resource insufficient. Consequently, in a Department of Fish and Game memorandum to Division chiefs dated March 3, 1983, Mil Zahn, then Director of the Division of Boards, noted the Board of Fisheries request that the Divisions of Subsistence and Commercial Fisheries conduct research relating to the biological status and subsistence use of Northern Seward Peninsula salmon stocks (including the Inmachuk River) and make the results of this research available for their December 1983 meetings (meetings did not take place). In response to the Board of Fisheries request, the Division of Subsistence, Nome and Fairbanks, conducted field studies in Deering from August 25 to October 6, 1983. Study objectives were to describe the nature and extent of subsistence salmon fishing in the Inmachuk River and to explore the role salmon resources play in the economy of the community. Field methods included observation of the subsistence fishery and informal interviews with ten households who actively participate in subsistence salmon fishing on the Inmachuk River. Seven fishers who participated in either one or both years of an experimental commercial salmon fishery on the Inmachuk River during 1974-75 were also interviewed.

Pecora, Director Free on application to the U.S. Geological Survey, Washington, D.C. 20242 Index of Surface-Water Records to September 30, 1967 Alaska By H. P. Eisenhuth INTRODUCTION This report lists the streamflow stations in Alaska for which records have been or are to be published in reports of the Geological Survey for periods through September 30, 1967. It supersedes Geological Survey Circular 516. Basic data on surface-water supply of Alaska have been published in bulletins or water-supply papers of the Geological Survey or in reports of other agencies, Water-Supply Paper 1372 contains a summary of monthly and annual discharges through September 1945 for all previously published records, as well as records of daily and monthly discharges for the water years 1946-50 which had not been published previously. For the water years 1951-60, data have been published in water-supply papers as shown in the following list. Water year -WSP Water year -WSP 1951-53. ................. 1466 1958. ...................1570 1959. ...................1640 1960. ................... 1720 Beginning in 1961, theannual seriesof water-supplypapers on surface-water supply was changed to a 5-year series, the first of which will be fox 1961-65. In order to meet interim.yequirements, beginning in 1961, the Alaska district issues a report annually containing streamflow records for Alaska. In addition to the continuous-record gaging stations, this index includes crest-stage and low-flow partial-record stations, A continuous-record station is a gaging station on a stream or reservoir for which the discharge, stage, or contents is published on a daily, weekly, ormonthly basis for a continuous period of time.
