MILL OPERKTES NMY1:
HOLD SORELY NEEDED
The Babcock & Downey gold
quartz property at Nuka Bay starts
the season’s operations May 1, ac
cording to Thos. Babcock, senior
member and one of the best known
of the oldtime mining men in Alas
ka and the Yukon.
The last two year’s operations
have been very successful but the
forthcoming summer should see
these hard-working partners over
the top in flying colors.
It will be recalled an entire new
mill and equipment was purchased
last year and many improvements
made for handling ore on a larger
basis. They will be ready to hit the
ball now, within a few weeks, as
soon as a little more of the snow
decides to leave those parts until
next winter.
Mr. Babcock said the snowfall the
past winter was the heaviest they
have seen during their five years
in the district and snow-slides
have been frequent near them.
The camp proper is protected but
not so the dock for a slide took
that out.
Ice conditions prohibited leav
ing the camp a month ago. He re
turns to the camp Saturday.
They are 280 feet in on the lower
tunnel, he said, with good ore all
the way.
The sum of approximately $30,
00 has been expended on the prop
erty during the five years of devel
opments and operation and it has
now reached a point where it is
absolutely necessary that a mile
road and a small bridge be built
from the beach to the property.
The partners look forward to the
Alaska Road Commission construc
ting this for them this spring,
though, Mr. Babcock added, nothing
definite has todate been heard.

likewise the water in the country

"SNOW-SHOE” WIRELESS
For years Sourdough Bill has been
j wondering what is fishy about the
Gateway and any printing office,
and it was not until he chanced to
read a Department of Commerce re
port detailing the use to which fish
oils are put in the United States.
Out of a total of 188,102,000 lbs. ol
fish oils used by the American in
dustry 50,000 lbs. are used for print

his ‘fishy” problem.
