From abstract: The Jarvis Creek coal field lies on the north side of the Alaska Range, between latitudes 63 35' and 63*45' N., and longitudes 145*40' and 145*50' W. It is 3 to 6 miles east of the Richardson Highway. The coal field is about 16 square miles in area, the major part of which is a rolling plateau that slopes gently northward and is bounded on the east, south. and west by bluffs facing Jarvis Creek, Ruby Creek, and the Delta River.

From abstract: Radioactive material in apparently significant amounts was recognized in heavy-mineral concentrates from the gravels of four streams that head in Ear Mountain, Alaska, when collections of the United States Geological Survey were examined for radioactivity in the winter of 1944-45. This area, on the north side of the Seward Peninsula, attracted attention in 1901-02 when cassiterite was discovered in the streams. Subsequent attempts were made to develop copper- and tin-bearing lode deposits.

Report discussing a reconnaissance study during the summer of 1953 to determine the occurrence of radioactive deposits on Nikolai Creek near Tyonek, Alaska and on Likes Creek near Seward, Alaska.

Report discussing an investigation of radioactivity occurrences, mostly caused by thorium in thorite and monazite, in various parts of southeastern Alaska. The geology and structural qualities of these radioactive areas are discussed.

A report regarding a reconnaissance for radioactive deposits in southeastern Alaska, 1952. Concerns work done on behalf of the Division of Raw Materials of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission.

Introduction: Thorium and rare-earth metals have come into strategic importance in this country in the last few years with the potential use of thorium in the production of atomic power and the development of new uses for the rare earths in the aircraft industry.
