PREVIOUS GEOLOGICAL WORK

The first work in the area by the Geological Survey was done in 1910
by McConnell. In 1911 McConnell carried out geological mapping in the
adjoining Salmon River area. Later geological work was done in Salmon
River area by O’Neill in 1919 and by Schofield and Hanson in 1920. The
mineral deposits have been examined and described from year to year by
the Department of Mines of British Columbia. Geological work has also
been done in the adjoining part of Alaska, by Westgate in 1920 and by
Buddington in later years.
