STAMP Mill AT WOKE
GRUSHINS TIN HUE NOME
(Nome Nugget, Sept 4.)
That a new stamp mill is now actually
crushing ore on this peninsula is a fact
that hardly a man in Nome is aware of,
so quietly has the mill been erected and
set in operation, although the circumstance
is one which may mean tremendous things
to ths peninsula. The mill has been erect
ed at York by the Grim, Randt and O'Brien
people this summer, and is now crushing
out two tons of tin ore a day, while the
people are actually unaware that such a
mighty step has been taken towards the
opening of an industry which exists no
where else in the United States. Mr.
O'Brien himself is at York looking after
the work. He came in this spring but gave
out no information as to his intentions, and
it was only when people arrived from that
neighborhood in the last few days that the
story was related that the null is already in
operation and that quartz tin is now be
ing produced.
In addition to working the tin the mill
I is being used to test the values in tungsten,
and it is said that if the tests prove up to
! their promise another great industry will
be the result.
It is supposed that practically unlimited
: capital is at the back of the men who are
j now operating the stamp mi l, but this may
J be assumed rather than known as a fact,
\ although there is every reason to believe
| that tin mining men of great wealth have
their eyes now fixed on this peninsula,
1 where it is hoped that the Unted States
\ will at least be able to produce the stuff
I on its own territory.
While the new stamp mill is progress
j ing so well the tin dredge is operating
' most successfully on Buck creek, and the
facts real'y are that while the people here
j have been forgetting that product cf the
j peninsula the men who have pinned their
faith in tin are really forging ahead to
make this district one of the greatest on
■ the continent. The result of the milling
I is being w'atched with a profound interest.

RUBY NEWS
(Ruby Record-Citizen, Sept. 13.)
G. W. Herman, one of the original lo
cators and discoverers of Poorman creek,
came into town a few days ago on a busi
ness trip. Asked about the condition of
things on Poorman creek, he said that
everybody working in that section felt
well satisfied with the future outlook.
Herman was emphatic in his desire to
contradict a rumor going the rounds to the
effect that a transient trader who went in
there by way of the Novi and Snlatna
could not make any sales because the mm
in there were all broke. The fact s that
the trader could have sold out twice over
had he had a frc-h stock. Two months
on the road never adds to the ilavor of
foodstuffs, especially eggs. “We had money
in plenty, but did not want to give it lor
ancient provisions,” he said. Herman
brought in several hundred dollars of Poor
man dust. The following is a resume of
mning activities in that sectin oof the dis
trict :
Hutchinson, Loughran & Nelson, on 1
below Duncan, began sluicing some days
ago, but had not cleaned up when Herman
left for town.
Davis, Kickbush & Co., on Discovery
Poorman, are sluicing right along. The
pay is getting better as they work down
stream. The resi Its of their clean-ups are
known ncly to themselves.
Wolf & Suber, on a fracton between
Poorman bench and the creek claim, have
bedrocked a shaft n pay dirt. They have
four feet of 7-cent dirt in the bottom of
this shaft.
Jorgensen <fc Manual, on the upper end
of the Chief Association, just recently put
a shaft to bedrock, and have crosscut foi
25 feet. Here Herman panned 100 pans,
and when weighed showed over $8, or 8
cents to the pan. The width of this pay
ground remains to be determined.
On the lower end of the Chief, ITm
phries & Thompson have not reached bed
rock, but in a few days should have ther
hole down and cleaned out.
On the upper end of the Bluff Associa
ton. adjoining the Chief, Herman has built
his cabin, and will on his return there
commence work.
Wanstedt Johnson, on No. 3 Tender
foot, have very good dirt. With a small
prospecting plant, three men took out. $500
in a week’s time. This means that the
I ground has to be rich to enable them to do
that. A few points set one day and taken
out and sluiced the next is slow work, but
in this instance it pays big—$500 a week
for three men.
Brown, located below the mouth of Ten
I derfoot on Boorman, has not landed on the
; pay
' Coyle & O’Donnell, on the lower end of
the Poorman bench, have thcr boxes in
place and started to sluice just as Herman
was leaving. During the first day’s run
a $5 slug was picked out of one of the
boxes.
Emil (Cyclone) Johnson is about ready
to start work on the upper end of the
| Frisco bench, using the discovery shall
| sunk by Leskie & Furman.
I Osborne & Torrence, about one mile be
low Johnson, are rocking out between $20 |
I and $30 a day. They claim to have 70 feet
j of gravel that will average $1 25 to the
! foot.
The boys on the Swanton Association
have not been successful in locating the
pay.

NEWSPAPER WOMAN TELLS
OF STEAMSHIP WRECK
(Concluded from Page 1)
before knew men could be so brave and
unselfish. The discipline was perfect and
one of the sights I will long remember is
Captain Cann as he appeared standing on
a piece of wreckage giving directions to
his crew in their efforts to pick up the
strugglers in the water.”
A. N. Floyd, agent of the Pacific Coast
Steamship Company, who was a passenger
on the State of California, was eating
breakfast with his wife at the time the
vessel struck .
The other passengers who were in the
room at the time became alarmed and
made a rush for the stairway, although
none <;f them seemed to lose their heads.
I I yd, not thinking the accident serious,
tried to calm the nervous ones. Pilot
Crockett was at the stairway telling them
not to become alarmed but to get on the
deck. Floyd coul 1 hear Captain Cann on
the bridge giving orders, and firmly be
lieved that nothing endangering the lives
of those on board had happened.
lie told Mrs. Floyd to go to her state
room and he went to the upper deck.
Here he noticed the people getting into the
lifeboats. He assisted in the launching of
on eboat, when he was rejoined by his
wife.
When the second boat was ready to be
launched somebody picked up Mrs. Floyd
and bundled her into the boat. She re
fused to leave her husband, however, and
climbed out of the boat onto the sinking
vessel in order to be near her husband.
It was while Floyd was trying to cut
the falls on a third boat in order to launch
it that the vessel sank. The deck on which
he was standing rose as through from the
force of an explosion, and he and his wife
were flung into the water. His wife could
not swim, and sank immediately. Floyd
grabbed a piece of wreckage and when his
wife came up seized her and supported her
until a boat came alongside a few minutes
l iter, how long he does not know. Mrs
FI yd was taken into the boat and Floyd
was towed behind until he became exhaust
ed, when he, too, was taken into the boat.
Last to Leave Ship
S. J. Robertson of Oakland, Cal., an em
p’o\e of the Santa l'e railroad, was the last
living person to leave the ship. Robert
| sen helped A. P. Vinnedge to place Mrs.
Drake in the boat, and then went to the
J assistance of other women. He went to
t the other side of the vessel and saw sev- j
. r: 1 women with their L ads through the
windows, endeavoring to escape from their
rooms. They had evidently locked their
doors and in their terror were unabi? to
unlock them again.
Robertson endeavored to reach them, and
to do so had to dive underneath the upper
nick. But the vessel sank while he was
yet on the deck, carrying him down with j
it, and he was nearly drowned before he
reached the surface.
Gee; Back for Money
Eobcrlscn’s distinction cf being the last
person aboard the vessel was attained bp
cause the bridge on which Captain T. H.
Cann and Pilot Crockett were standing
was blown off by the force of the air when
the vessel rank.
Mrs. A1 Birnbaum ;ust her lfie, it is as
sorted, by making an attempt to save
$2,000 in money which it is said she had
ir. her state room. She went below after it
and when she returned it was too late to
get a boat, and she was on the vessel when
it sank.
All the women survivors on the North
western are suffering from the ncvotis
•hock of the wreck. Every time the Nov'h
western would blow her whistle they .voiil.l
start and it would take Poem an ijsu.nt
to recover their composure.
