Location: The Flagler prospect is at an elevation of about 2,000 feet in the NE1/4SE1/4 sec. 25, T. 1 N., R. 3 W., Fairbanks Meridian. It is about 0.5 mile north of the top of Ester Dome. This prospect is not named in the text of Smith (1913 [B 525, p. 197-198]); however, it is labeled as the Flagler Prospects on figure 20, p. 204.
Geology: A large body of mineralized quartz was explored by an open cut and a 12-foot inclined shaft (Smith, 1913 [B 525, p. 197]). The quartz vein trends north and dips 45 degrees east. Near a nearby pinnacle, more or less lens-shaped masses of quartz, some over 6 feet in diameter, are exposed in a zone oriented north-south (Smith, 1913 [B 525, p. 197]). Smith described this quartz as compact, little shattered, glassy, and not very promising.
Workings: The prospect was explored by an open cut and inclined shaft about 12 feet deep (Smith, 1913 [B 525, p. 197]).
