Candle Creek
Candle Creek is a western tributary of the Kiwalik River, located on the Seward Peninsula of the U.S. state of Alaska. The unincorporated community of Candle is less than a mile away, while the village of Kiwalik is about away. The creek's name is attributed to the resemblance of the trees on the banks of the creek to candles when they are covered with snow. With the discovery of gold in 1901, Candle Creek's reputation as a top gold-yielding site was fixed.
==Geography==
Candle Creek is situated at the head of the main divide between the north and south drainages of the Seward Peninsula. It follows a north-northeast course, joining Kiwalik River at Candle, above the head of Spafarief Bay. It is south of the sand pit on which the village of Kiwalik is situated. The stream occupies a broad, shallow valley with only mildly sloping sides, making its movement more difficult.〔 In addition to gold, other minerals found include arsenopyrite, pyrite, galena, chalcopyrite, magnetite, ilmenite, rutile, zircon, garnet, and cerussite.〔 Bean and Blank creeks are eastern tributaries, while Jump, Patterson, Potato, Ptarmigan, Thomas, and Willow creeks are western tributaries.
