BONN1FTELT) AND KANTfSTTNA REGIONS. 21/) 
part is about 350 feet to the mile, and the amount of water carried at 
Ordinary stages is about two sluice heads. The lower valley has a 
considerable growth of spruce in a narrow belt near the stream. The 
bed rock observed is predominantly quartzitic schist, with some car- 
bonaceous and green schists. The only point where mining was being 
done is about 2^ miles upstream, above timber line and about 700 feet 
above the level of Moose Creek. The gravels at this point are about 
3 feet thick and comprise quartzitic schists with a small proportion of 
green schist, carbonaceous schist, crystalline limestone, and vein quartz. 
Pay is found over a width of about 12 feet. The gold occurs mostly 
on bed rock and to a depth of 2 feet within it. Much of the gold is 
coarse, and the largest piece found was valued at $6.40. Some of it 
is rough and has quartz attached, and there is no reason to doubt its 
local origin. Three men were working at this locality. Their sluice 
boxes were made of lumber packed from Glen Creek and were set on 
a 10-inch grade. 
GLEN CREEK. 
Glen Creek is somewhat larger than Spruce Creek and is more deeply 
cut below the spurs that rise nearly 1,000 feet above it on either side. 
From the forks to the mouth, a distance of 3 miles, there is a grade of 
about 500 feet. The gravels are similar to those of Spruce Creek, 
being predominantly quartzitic schist, and where work is being done 
they range from a few inches to about 3 feet in thickness. In some 
places gold is found through 2 feet of gravel and at others it is all on 
or within bed rock. The width over which pay is found ranges from 
30 to 150 feet and values have been reported of $20 to $100 to the 
box length, or approximately a maximum value of 65 cents to the 
square foot of bed rock, but their distribution is irregular. Much of 
the gold is coarse; several $8 to $10 nuggets have been found, and the 
largest piece discovered weighed over 3 ounces. A few garnets are 
found associated with the gold. At the time of visit most of the 
miners had left for the season, and it was reported that only about 
seven men would winter on the creek. 
EUREKA CREEK. 
Eureka Creek proved to be the best producer of the region. It is a 
small creek only about 5 miles long, flows southwestward in a deeply 
cut valley, and enters Moose Creek just below the point where the 
latter has turned northward through the ridge. The valley of Moose 
Creek at this point is a flat several hundred feet wide, and the creek 
itself, a powerful stream, swings round to the east and is cutting lat- 
erally into the bed rock just at the point where Eureka Creek enters. 
The valley of Eureka Creek has a grade of about 235 feet to the mile, 
and the smallest quantity of water flowing during the season of 1906
