offit.] GOLD PLACERS OF TURNAGAIN ARM. 99 
COPPER. 
Native copper associated with gold in the gravels was found in small 
uantity by prospectors on Lynx Creek. Its presence led to the dis- 
overy of the outcrop of a vein, currying copper sulphides, on the 
aountain side at the head of the stream. During the summer a com- 
>any was formed, and the woik of developing the property was begun. 
Ln adit level was driven with the expectation of striking an ore body 
,t some depth below the outcrop, but at the time our party left the 
)eninsula this had not yet been reached. If this prospect should 
levelop into a paying mine, connection with the line of the Alaska 
Central Railroad could be established without great difficulty.
