Maas, Peter E. Bittenbender, and Jan C. Still ABSTRACT The Baranof and ChichagofIslands area is located along the northwest coast of Southeast Alaska. This area hosts historically significant producers of gold, silver, and gypsum. The Chichagof and Hirst Chichagof Mines, operating in Klag Bay and Kimshin Cove, were the main precious metal producers in the study area. Gypsum was produced by the Pacific Gypsum Company from a single mine operating in Iyoukeen Cove. U. S. Bureau ofMines personnel (who were subsequently incorporated into the Bureau ofLand Management) investigated mineral occurrences in the Baranof and Chichagof Islands area during 1995. This study will continue through 1996. Two crews examined 35 mines and prospects, and several additional sites were sampled in a reconnaissance fashion on Federal, State and private lands. In all, over 400 samples were taken for geochemical analysis, and 3,500 feet ofunderground workings were surveyed and mapped.. Work was concentrated around Silver Bay and along the Hoonah logging-road system. Several sites located along coastal areas were also visited. Detailed work was not performed in the West Chichagof and Klag Bay areas, as extensive studies were recently completed by Bureau personnel. Reference to these reports as well as a comprehensive list ofpublished and unpublished geologic and mineral resource reports are contained in the bibliography. Summary information is provided for 132 properties in the study area. Mineral development potential has been classified as low, medium or high for these properties. 'j j Results from the 1995 work define low-grade gold-bearing quartz veins in the Silver Bay area and the presence ofweakly mineralized skarn systems surrounding Gypsum Creek, north of r Freshwater Bay. No specific ore bodies were delineated from this work, although high-grade ) sphalerite mineralization was encountered at East Point, north ofTenakee Inlet. 1 f" I ." i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY !, Baranofand Chichagof Islands are located along the northwest coast of s.outheast Alaska. The present study encompassed these islands as well as the smaller islands to the west. Work completed in 1995 was conducted by U.S. Bureau ofMines geologists and el?-gineers. This study is part ofan ongoing statewide mineral land assessment authorized under Section 1010 ofthe Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act. Significant quantities ofgold, silver, and gypsum have been produced from this area; it was historically the second largest lode-gold producing area in Alaska. The Chichagof and Hirst-ChichagofMines produced the majority of r the gold and silver, and the Pacific Coast Gypsum Company's mine at Iyo~een Cove produced the gypsum. ! Two crews investigated 35 mines and prospects, and several additional sites were sampled in a reconnaissance fashion on Federal, State and private lands. In all, over 400 samples were taken for geochemical analysis, and 3,500 feet ofunderground workings were surveyed and mapped ,,;r during 1995. Efforts during 1995 were concentrated in the Silver Bay area and along the Hoonah logging road system as well as in scattered locations throughout the study area. Work was not performed in the West Chichagofand Klag Bay areas as extensive studies have already been completed. Results from the 1995 work indicate the low-grade nature ofgold-bearing quartz veins in the Silver Bay area and the presence ofskarn-related mineralization surrounding Gypsum Creek. No specific ore bodies were delineated from this work. A total of 135 mineral properties are recapped in the summary table presented at the end ofthis report. These properties are ranked by mineral development potential (MOP) to provide a basis for comparison. Nineteen properties were assigned a medium, medium to high, or high MDP ranking. Seven properties are ranked with a low-medium MDP and the remaining

  • Wilderness in Southeastern Alaska: a History
    Wilderness in Southeastern Alaska: A History John Sisk Today, Southeastern Alaska (Southeast) is well known remoteness make it wild in the most definitive sense. as a place of great scenic beauty, abundant wildlife and The Tongass encompasses 109 inventoried roadless fisheries, and coastal wilderness. Vast expanses of areas covering 9.6 million acres (3.9 million hectares), wild, generally undeveloped rainforest and productive and Congress has designated 5.8 million acres (2.3 coastal ecosystems are the foundation of the region’s million hectares) of wilderness in the nation’s largest abundance (Fig 1). To many Southeast Alaskans, (16.8 million acre [6.8 million hectare]) national forest wilderness means undisturbed fish and wildlife habitat, (U.S. Forest Service [USFS] 2003). which in turn translates into food, employment, and The Wilderness Act of 1964 provides a legal business. These wilderness values are realized in definition for wilderness. As an indicator of wild subsistence, sport and commercial fisheries, and many character, the act has ensured the preservation of facets of tourism and outdoor recreation. To Americans federal lands displaying wilderness qualities important more broadly, wilderness takes on a less utilitarian to recreation, science, ecosystem integrity, spiritual value and is often described in terms of its aesthetic or values, opportunities for solitude, and wildlife needs. spiritual significance. Section 2(c) of the Wilderness Act captures the essence of wilderness by identifying specific qualities that make it unique. The provisions suggest wilderness is an area or region characterized by the following conditions (USFS 2002): Section 2(c)(1) …generally appears to have been affected primarily by the forces of nature, with the imprint of man’s work substantially unnoticeable; Section 2(c)(2) …has outstanding opportunities for solitude or a primitive and unconfined type of recreation; Section 2(c)(3) …has at least five thousand acres of land or is of sufficient FIG 1.

Conwell Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys Department of Natural Resources State of Alaska Department of Commerce and Economic Development Office of Mineral Development Governor Jay S. Hammond Commissioner Charles R. Webber Director John F. M. Sims FOREWARD Shortly after the Office of Mineral Development was established in 1981 the first initiatives were taken to compile an authoritative and contemporary review of the mineral resources of the State. This volume, A REVIEW OF ALASKA'S MINERAL RESOURCES, was prepared by the professional staff of the Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys (DGGS) in the Department of Natural Resources. As a definitive volume, this review will be subject to periodic update as new information and developments warrant. The Office of Mineral Development will publish a summary version which will become the format for an Annual Review of Mining Activity. It is absolutely vital that decision makers in the legislature, State and local government administra- tions, the private sector inclusive of industry and the native corporations as well as the public at large have access to a reliable data base and contemporary commentary of the mining industry - an industry with a rich heritage in Alaska and one which offers great promise as a vehicle to expand and diversify the economic base. Preparation of a review of this type requires cooperation and effort on the part of industry in generating the information requested on the questionnaire which, in turn, is the very substance of the report.
