| January 1934 | Volume 8, Number 10 |
By Park Ranger H. R. Lauzon
A great many visitors, as they stand on the rim, ask
if there have ever been any valuable minerals such as
gold, copper, or the like, found in the Grand Canyon.
The "Old Timers" who invaded the Canyon Country in
the early nineties asked the same question and then proceeded to answer
the question for themselves with the help of pack burros and a side of
bacon.
Two men of that day who had visions of immense veins
of rich ore in the Canyon were W. W. Bass and John Waltenburg. These men
found a way to get into the Canyon at a point that is now known as Bass
Trail. This is twenty-five miles west of El Tovar Hotel. Mr. Bass was in
the Canyon one winter with Chickapanage, a Supai Indian. (Chickapanage
in the Havasupai language means Bat-Face.)
While prospecting in a side canyon which is now
recorded as Copper Canyon on the United States Geological Survey map of
Grand Canyon, they discovered a fair showing of copper ore in a well
defined fissure vein. Later Mr. Bass opened the vein by driving in a
tunnel over one hundred feet in length and also sinking a shaft on the
vein to the depth of fifty feet.
This development work was in a good grade of sulphide
ore (1) all the way. The copper values were carried in ores such as
bornite, calcocite, calcopyrite, with some galena carrying silver
values. This ore occurs in fissure veins in the Vishnu schist eight
hundred feet above the Colorado River.

About 1908, Mr. Bass packed out twenty-five tons of
this ore on burros to Bass Camp at the head of the trail. He then
hauled it twenty miles in wagons to the railway for shipment.
Across the river and three miles down from Bass Trail
in Hakatai Canyon, Bass and Waltenburg discovered and opened a deposit of
asbestos (2). This asbestos was found in serpentine between
layers of limestone, and near diabase. It is a fine grade of chrysotile.
The fiber is from one inch to four inches in length and is of great
tensile strength. From tests made it was found that one strand three
hundredths of an inch in diameter would sustain fifteen and a half
pounds. In 1917 several tons of this asbestos were packed out of the
Canyon, hauled to the railway and sold to eastern buyers at fifteen
hundred dollars per ton.

Miners say, "Silver lies in veins and gold is where
you find it". In answer to the question about the finding of gold in
Grand Canyon, let me say that the sand along the Colorado River will
show a few colors of flour gold when washed with a gold pan. Between
Pipe Creek and Horn Creek and about one hundred feet above the high
water mark of the Colorado lies an ancient gravel bar. One time I spent
several hours panning gravel from this deposit. Each pan produced a
string of fine gold. The panning effort netted enough gold and black
sand, the sand and the gold being about equally divided, to fill a very
small perfume bottle. A prospector would say, "Yes, there is placer gold
along the Colorado but there is too much sand mixed with it to make it
worth recovering".
