Ben Bernard, president and general
manager of the American Dredge
liuidiug and Construction Company, of
Seattle, arrived on the Northwestern
yesterday from Seward after an ex
tended trip into Hie Cache creek and
Mt. McMlnley districts in the interest
of his company .
Mr. Bernard reports that his com
pany lias lately installed a large
dredge in the Cache creek section
which at last accounts was operat
ing successfully and very profitably.
I,. s. Smith, formerly of Nome, was
the builder and also put the entire
proposition through.
Mr. Bernard’s company is also con
sidering tin installation of a dredge
on the Nachoehna river, in the Susit
na district, for the Nachoehna Gold
Dredging Company, a Seattle corpora
tion.
Mr. Bernard also reports that the
American Dredge Building and Con
sl)i action Company .has taken over
the dredge formerly owned by Chas.
ii i ron. which was located in the vi
. iiniy of Seward, and is now engaged
in drilling several properties in the
Ml McKinley district with a view lo
installing the machine in that section
later on. There is much activity in
;lie dredging line in those districts at
present, according to Mr. Bernard,
and Ills company has several large
f
contracts pending foi the installation
of dredges on properties examined by
hint self on his trip.
Mr. Bernard intends to remain for
several weeks in this section and con
templates leaving in a few days for
the York district where his company
1 is extensively interested in mining for
both tin and gold. The tin dredge in
stalled by the company on Buck creek
m that section last summer proved
remarkably successful and is expect
I ,.<i to make a great showing during
(the present summer.
A feature of this dredge of which
Mr. Bernard speaks with great en
thusiasm is a device which enables the
separation of the gold from the tin,
thus enabling the suving of a large
amount of tine gold dust that was
previously not recovered by the
dredges anti adding considerably, to
the vulues extracted. Mr. Bernard
states thut this inability to separate
the tine gold from the tin lias resulted
in thousands of dollars being thrown
away but by the device mentioned,
this hus been completely eliminated.
Mr. Bernard also states that his
company has a large contract pending
for dredge installations in the Kotze
bue sound district and he nutj visit
that section in the near future.
No doubt ail of Mr. Bernard’s for
mer friends and business tssociates
in this section will be glad to see him
back in the old stamping ground, in
the development of which he has been
of such material assistance. During
the many years that lie has been in
terested in this section he has at all
times been an enthusiastic booster
of ihe country and has demonstrated
his faith by investing his own and as
sociates money in various mining and
dredging projects. By a strict atten
tion io business and well demonstrated
inegrity he has won the regard of all
who have had business dealings witli
him and his reappearance is a more
than welcome one. After examining
much of the gold bearing regions of
he territory we find that he is still
strong for Nome and says that this
section looks better to him than ever.
