Eden Placer District Description
Placer gold was recovered in 1935 from the Eden district, on the east flank of the Kawich Range, southeast of Kawich Peak near the head- waters of Eden Creek (T. 1 N., R. 50 E., Kawich Peak 15-minute quadrangle). The gold was probably recovered from debris eroded from gold veins or shear zones in rhyolite at the South Gold Mining Co. claims, at about 8,000 feet in the Kawich Range.
