Schultz; Merl LaVoy; Guy F. Cameron; Eric A. Hegg Administrative/Biographical History: The Crary and Henderson Families lived and worked in the Valdez area during the boom times of the early 1900s. William Halbrook Crary was a prospector and newspaper man born in the 1870s (may be 1873 or 1876). William and his brother Carl N. Crary came to Valdez in 1898. Will was a member of the prospecting party of the Arctic Mining Company; Carl was the captain of the association. The Company staked the “California Placer Claim” on Slate Creek and worked outside of Valdez on the claim. Slate Creek is a tributary of the Chitina River, in the Chistochina District of the Copper River Basin. Will Crary was the first townsite trustee for Valdez. Carl later worked in the pharmaceutical field in Valdez and was also the postmaster. Will married schoolteacher Nan Fitch in Valdez in 1906. Carl died of cancer in 1927 in Portland, Oregon.

Alaska Range
Alaska Range Introduction The heavily glacierized Alaska Range consists of a number of adjacent and discrete mountain ranges that extend in an arc more than 750 km long (figs. 1, 381). From east to west, named ranges include the Nutzotin, Mentas- ta, Amphitheater, Clearwater, Tokosha, Kichatna, Teocalli, Tordrillo, Terra Cotta, and Revelation Mountains. This arcuate mountain massif spans the area from the White River, just east of the Canadian Border, to Merrill Pass on the western side of Cook Inlet southwest of Anchorage. Many of the indi- Figure 381.—Index map of vidual ranges support glaciers. The total glacier area of the Alaska Range is the Alaska Range showing 2 approximately 13,900 km (Post and Meier, 1980, p. 45). Its several thousand the glacierized areas. Index glaciers range in size from tiny unnamed cirque glaciers with areas of less map modified from Field than 1 km2 to very large valley glaciers with lengths up to 76 km (Denton (1975a).

COMPREHENSIVE TABLES GIVING PHYSICAL DATA AND THERMAL ENERGY ESTIMATES FOR YOUNG IGNEOUS SYSTEMS OF THE UNITED STATES by R. L. Smith, H. R. Shaw, R. G. Luedke, and S. L. Russell U. S. Geological Survey OPEN-FILE REPORT 78-925 This report is preliminary and has not been edited or reviewed for conformity with Geological Survey Standards and nomenclature INTRODUCTION This report presents two tables. The first is a compre hensive table of 157 young igneous systems in the western United States, giving locations, physical data, and thermal en ergy estimates, where apropriate, for each system. The second table is a list of basaltic fields probably less than 10,000 years old in the western United States. These tables are up dated and reformatted from Smith and Shaw's article "Igneous- related geothermal systems" in Assessment of geothermal re sources of the United States 1975 (USGS Circular 726, White and Williams, eds., 1975). This Open-File Report is a compan ion to Smith and Shaw's article "Igneous-related geothermal systems" in Assessment of geothermal resources in the United States 1978 (USGS Circular 790, Muffler, ed., 1979). The ar ticle in Circular 790 contains an abridged table showing only those igneous systems for which thermal estimates were made. The article also gives an extensive discussion of hydrothermal cooling effects and an explanation of the model upon which the thermal energy estimates are based. Thermal energy is calculated for those systems listed in table 1 that are thought to contribute significant thermal en ergy to the upper crust. As discussed by Smith and Shaw (1975), silicic volcanic systems are believed to be associated nearly always with high-level (<10 km) magma chambers.

North America Summary, 1968
240 CLIMBS A~D REGIONAL ?\OTES North America Summary, 1968. Climbing activity in both Alaska and Canada subsided mar kedly from the peak in 1967 when both regions were celebrating their centen nials. The lessened activity seems also to have spread to other sections too for new routes and first ascents were considerably fewer. In Alaska probably the outstanding climb from the standpoint of difficulty was the fourth ascent of Mount Foraker, where a four-man party (Warren Bleser, Alex Birtulis, Hans Baer, Peter Williams) opened a new route up the central rib of the South face. Late in June this party flew in from Talkeetna to the Lacuna glacier. By 11 July they had established their Base Camp at the foot of the South face and started up the rib. This involved 10,000 ft of ice and rotten rock at an angle of 65°. In the next two weeks three camps were estab lished, the highest at 13,000 ft. Here, it was decided to make an all-out push for the summit. On 24 July two of the climbers started ahead to prepare a route. In twenty-eight hours of steady going they finally reached a suitable spot for a bivouac. The other two men who started long after them reached the same place in ten hours of steady going utilising the steps, fixed ropes and pitons left by the first party. After a night in the bivouac, the two groups then contin ued together and reached the summit, 17,300 ft, on 25 July. They were forced to bivouac another night on the return before reaching their high camp.

Mountain Ear THE MONTHLY NEWSLETTER OF THE ROCKY MOUNTAINEERS SEPTEMBER 1999 - The Rocky Mountaineers are dedicated to the exploration of ,Western Montana's mountains and other high peaks throughout the world* . * . ' - MEETING ' -- - Club Meetings: The Rocky Mountaineers normally meet the second wednesday of each month at the Missoula Public Library (lower level meeting room). The club does not meet during the summer months so that we can enjoy the long summer days &d explore our beloved mounta& - . - - - Our next meeting will be held on September 22 at 7 p.m. Please note that this is the fourth Wednesday in September. At the request of several members, the meeting was moved back to accommodate extended climbing trips over the Labor Day holiday. This meeting will be our annual "potluck" slide show, where we all show each other slides of our mountaineering exploits in the past year. A SPECIAL NOTE TO ALL MEMBERS: We are looking for new faces and energetic people to lead trips of all skill levels! Please contact Matt Grandy if you are interested in being a trip leader. TRIP CALENDER September 24-26, Fri-Sun, Three 12,000 footers and One 11,000+: Come climb with us in the Beartooth Mountains near Red Lodge. We'll ascend to Sundance Pass and set up a base camp. From here, we will scramble to Silver Run Peak (12,542 feet) and Point 12,500 (12,500 feet). The next day, we will do Mount Lockhart (1 1,647 feet) and Whitetail Peak (12,548 feet). When the Beartooth Mountains are viewed fiom the east, Whitetail Peak appears to be the highest peak in the range, and is often mistaken for Granite Peak - the highest peak in Montana.

Exhumation in the Eastern Alaska Range Constrained by Stacked Thermochronology
Downloaded from http://sp.lyellcollection.org/ by guest on October 1, 2021 Persistent long-term (c. 24 Ma) exhumation in the Eastern Alaska Range constrained by stacked thermochronology JEFF A. BENOWITZ1*, PAUL W. LAYER2 & SAM VANLANINGHAM3 1Geophysical Institute, University of Alaska Fairbanks, PO Box 755940, Fairbanks, AK 99775, USA 2College of Natural Science and Mathematics, University of Alaska Fairbanks, PO Box 755940, Fairbanks, AK 99775, USA 3Institute of Marine Science, University of Alaska Fairbanks, Fairbanks, AK 99775, USA *Corresponding author (e-mail: [email protected]) Abstract: To address Miocene–present episodic v. persistent exhumation, we utilize a simple graphical procedure that vertically stacks spatially diverse K-feldspar 40Ar/39Ar multi-domain dif- fusion (MDD) models from the length of the approximately 100 km-long high-peak region of the Eastern Alaska Range. We supply additional constraints with 40Ar/39Ar mica dating because the higher closure-temperature-window places limits on the initiation of rapid Eastern Alaska Range exhumation. We also provide a broad 40Ar/39Ar K-feldspar minimum closure age data set to add more detail on spatial patterns in the regional exhumation history for the Eastern Alaska Range. We ﬁnd that rapid and persistent exhumation has occurred in the Eastern Alaska Range since about 24 Ma at a long-term rate of approximately 0.9 km/Ma, but that this rapid exhumation is spatially variable through time. Onset of rapid Eastern Alaska Range exhumation is coincident with the initiation of rapid exhumation in SW Alaska, the Western Alaska Range and the Chugach– Saint Elias Range at around 25 Ma, implying a region-wide deformational response to a change in tectonic forcing.
