Not illustrated. 1910 Excerpt: ...The pebbles all seem to be of local origin except in the lower part of the creek, where some gravels of the Niukluk River are evidently being reworked by the present-day stream. Bonanza Creek, or Klondike, as it is locally called, is a long stream which heads in a region where the bed rock is schist, but in its lower course flows across a series of limestones. The stream gravels for some distance above the mouth are mainly fragments of limestone. The next most abundant pebbles are of quartzose schist, and the least abundant are of black quartzitic slate. Practically no gold has been won from this stream, and there is evidence of only slight exploration in the eastern 4 to 5 miles of its course, where the bed rock consists more or less extensively of limestone. In this part of the valley water is often entirely wanting, and long stretehes of the bed are simply gravel-floored paths. Farther upstream, where the schist forms the bed rock, there has been more prospecting, but there is no sign that the work was ever remunerative. Ben Gulch, a small side stream from the north entering Bonanza Creek about 2 miles above its mouth, has been staked, and a little work done on the gravels, which are mostly rather angular limestone fragments mixed with considerable schist float. In the lower part, Ben Gulch carries no water. The present bed of the stream occurs in the bottom of a narrow V, cut in a broader, older form. Although prospecting has heen done on many of the small streams, such as Nipple Gulch and Little Dixie Creek, no mining has been done on any of the side streams until one comes to No Man Creek. At the mouth of this creek one miner was at work in 1907 for a short time. The production was small, and although the placer was of the creek type the values were p...
