Sluicing <‘At Nome.
Sluicing at Nomo-ou the winter
dumps commenced ubont 'May
2<>th, since which time gold Iras
been pouring into the hanks in
greater quantities than ever before
in the history of the country- A
conservative estimate of the winter
outjmt for the Howard peninsula is
#4,000,000.
The great strike of the winter is
the Bessie bench on the left limit
of Holyoke, operated by Nixon,
Bard & Denlsart. The pay streak
on this claim is over 200 feet wide
and seven feet deep. There is four
feet of beach wash on bed ro<-k and
on top of that three feet ol creek
wash.
Six hundred dollar pans have
been taken from bedrock and #20
pans can be taken throughout the
entire pay streak. The operators
have already blocked out stilt cistit
ground for their summer -opera
tions, which is known to contain
more than #1.000,000.
This claim was owned bv T..
(ireenberg, a. local merchant in
Nome. He deeded another man «
half interest for doing the assess
ment work. Foster thought so lit
tle of the bargain that he deeded
another man a half interest for
doing the work.
It is estimated that the claim
will produce #4,000,000.
Prospecting during the winter
indicates that there are four pay
-treaks between the present beach
line and the foothills.
Nearly all the other mining in
this vicinity is being done on tie
tundra. More than a hundred
outfits are prospecting for new
beach lines. The third line has
not been located east of Dry creek
or west of Anvil.
The Wild Goose Coinjmny and
the Pioneer Mining Company have
bonded hundreds of acres of tundra
grou ml.
The coming summer promises to
be the banner one in the history
of the can))), both as to output and
as to-ditch building.
The Guggenheim copper inter
ests, which during three genera
tions in the .industry have grown
to he among the largest in the
country, contemplate the develop
ment of the Alaskan mineral fields
on a scale larger than anything
that has been undertaken in the
.State*.
Such is the statement made by
Daniel Guggenheim, head of the
lirm, in an interview published in
a recent issue of The New A oik
Time* *
“We want to go into the terri
tory.” said lie*, “and build railroads
and smelters and mining town*
and bring men there and populate
the country and do for it what the
earlier figure* in American rail
road building did lor sections of
the great W< st.
• The American Smelting iV-Hetin
ing Co., says Mr. Guggcheim, will
not only build a railroad hut will
build smelting works at Valdez for
the -reduction of the ores. Speak
ing of the matter of fuel he -says
that the engineers have rcj*orted
that there are valuable coal de
posits which only nei-d develop
ment to furnish cheap fuel, hut if
these,should fall short of expecta
tions California fuel. oil will he
used in the reduction work.
