View from Chezum Group, West of Canyon Creek, looking over Martin River 

 Glacier to the Chugach Mountains beyond. 



Gas has been found in several of the tunnels; hence, in mining, 

 safety devices will be necessary. 



Development 



At more than 300 places within the field more or less development 

 work has been done. But no extensive mining has been carried on. 

 The most prevalent kind of work consists of small surface openings. 

 However, more than 30 drifts or tunnels have been run with an aggre- 

 gate length of more than 3,000 feet. The most systematic development 

 work has been done on the Cunningham, the Controller Bay, the Eng- 



Vu:\v from the English Company Claims, looking over Lake Charlotte to the 



mountains beyond.
