Description

SCARCE ITEM!!
This is USGS Bulletin 963-B,
Copper Deposits in the Prince William Sound District, Alaska
. Published in 1950, there can't be many of these around. The publication consists of a 35-page book and ALL FOUR OF THE ORIGINAL MAPS. The maps are all in a pocket in the back of the book, and show various areas of the Prince William Sound area, and the locations of the copper deposits.
This area produced 214 MILLION POUNDS of copper between 1900 and 1930, from fifteen of the deposits. This is an interesting publication that includes discussions of numerous deposits that in the area, including:
Midas mine
Sulphide Gulch
Jack Bay
Galena Bay
Boulder Bay
Ellamar
Threeman Mining Co claims
Landlocked Bay Copper
Standard Copper
Fidalgo-Alaska Copper
Fidalgo Mining Co
Dickey Copper
Orca Bay
Latouche
Beatson-Bonanza mine
Horseshoe Bay
Jonesy Group
Monarch claim
Nellie Group
Knights Island Alaska Copper Co
Copper Coin group
And many more.
In part of the area, copper occurrences and prospects have received greater attention for their gold value than the copper present in the deposits. This is a scarce and desirable geologic publication on an interesting and historic mining area.
