Excerpt from Mineral Resources Geological Alaska: Report on Progress of Investigations in 1908
The present bulletin is the fifth of the annual volumes 0 which both summarize the conditions of the mining industry in Alaska and record the more important economic results attained by the investigations during the year. The more elaborate reports, illustrated with maps, etc., are of necessity slow in preparation and publication, and hence the more important conclusions, so far as possible, are presented briefly in this preliminary form. These reports are intended to serve as handbooks of reference to those who are engaged in the mining industry within the Territory, though it is impossible, with the funds available, to collect complete information each year in regard to every district.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a summary of the conditions of Alaska's mining industry in 1908, with preliminary accounts of investigations in progress or completed. The author has organized the volume into three groups of subjects: overviews of industry conditions in different parts of the territory during the year; preliminary accounts of investigations in progress or completed; and statements of results of minor investigations made incidental to other field work. The main focus of the book is on gold placers, which formed the largest source of mineral output. However, it also includes accounts of copper mining in the Copper and White River regions and on Prince William Sound, as well as a report on the newly discovered field of southwestern Alaska and a preliminary statement of the first detailed geologic surveys of the Fairbanks district. The significance of the book's insights lies in its comprehensive overview of the mining industry in Alaska in 1908, providing a valuable resource for historians, geologists, and anyone interested in understanding the development of the territory's mining industry.
