□ Belleview Bros. Dry Creek
dredge shut down several days
ago, completing another success
prov , , . “ . .
ful season in their long time op
1 ‘ eralion on this famed gold bear
C'(?SS€
’ ing creek just back of Nome.
The Bellviews, Joe and Bar
= ney, have been dredging on Dry
I ..
Creek for the past 12 years, this
season employing a crew of 11
men.
Geo. Waldheim, well-known
placer tin miner of former years,
came in for a few days from his
present gold mining activities on
upper Dahl Creek in the lower
Kougarok, returning to his camp
last Saturday to prepare for
some winter drift mining. George
has disposed of his tin City hold
ings. and is again seeking the
yellow metal, in which field he
spent much time and effort in
years gone by.
George Bodis is back in town
after concluding a successful
mining season on his Dick Creek
holdings in the Kougarok sec
tion where he has been hydraulic
ing for the past five mining sea
sons. George employed a crew of
seven, and as is his custom ex
pects to spend a part of the win
ter on Dick Creek prospecting
and engaging in some drift min
ing.
Ed Hoven, veteran placer min
er of the Coffee Creek section of
the Kougarok is another recent
ly returned Nomeite. Ed reports
a very satisfactory seasons work,
and more than ever adheres to
his contention that the vast Kou
garok section will take its place
as Seward Peninsula’s greatest
gold producer. More roads and
landing fields, and cheaper
freight rates will give the added
impetus to really bring this great
mining district into its own.
