BOG IRON

Along Beatton River west of the Highway are several
deposits of bog iron. One of these is 2 miles upstream from the
Beatton River bridge and one-quarter mile south of the river.
Another is 5 miles above the bridge on the north side of the river
and on the pack trail to Lily lake. Both deposits cover areas of
several hundred square feet. The depth of the deposits was not
determined except to note that it is more than 10 inches. No
giacial material was found on top of the iron deposits and they can,
therefore, be considered as of post-glacial age. They are believed
Go have been precipitated from spring waters issuing from shales of
che Fort St. John group.
