More than $100 in profit was re

ancient village.

will be taken to London, England,

NEWS OF WINTER
MINING ICT1TIES
III NOME DISTRICT
(From the Nome Nugget)
James Corrigan, who has been
mining and prospecting on Iron
Creek, returned to Nome for the
present due to unfavorable min
ing weather.
* * * *
The Loraine Brothers, Kougarok
miners, returned to Nome to await
more favorable weather to carry
on mining activities.
* * * *
Ole Martinson, the well known
Gold Run miner, was a visitor to
Nome the past week; he had with
him some nice looking gold and
quart znuggets from his claim on
| Gold Run.
Barney Rolando and his two
sons returned to Nome from Amer
ican Creek, where they had been
engaged in mining activities. They
expect to return as soon as the
weather conditions are more fav
orable.
* *
Rasmus Jensen and his son Ed- j
j die are daily pounding into the
frozen gravels trying to reach the
ground which they found during
the past summer. They are sat
isfied it is there and these persist
ent old timers will continue their
search irrespective of what obsta
cles may baffle their progress.
What this country needs, is more
men of that mettle.
* # * *
James Haughey, James Panos
and Sam Dadis have started to
sink on their property about six
miles east of Nome. The weather
conditions have retarded progress
in their operations. The ground
is situated in a very favorable lo
cation, and it would not be a sur
prise, so oldtimers say, if they run
onto a good paystreak. More pow
er to them and success.
* * * *
Charley Berg, prospecting on high
benches in the vicinity of Otter
Creek near the Osborne road, is re
ported to have mighty good pros
pects and favorable indications.
Charley, who works for wages in
the summer, spends the entire win
ter season prospecting. It is to be
hoped that success will crown his
indefatigable efforts. Men of his
type should be encouraged by giv
ing them preference in employment,
so as to encourage them. Mrs. Berg
lives on the claim- in their cozy
home, made congenial by the good
house wife and helpmate.
It is reported from authentic
sources that a deal has been made
on th£ August Homberger et al,
quartz claims an Newton Gulch.
It is understood that active pros
pecting will commence early this
coming spring. The property, lo
cated within three miles of Nome,
and as oldtimers will remember,
received quite a boost about 12
years ago, and some development
was carried on at that time, with
favorable results. Placer mining
at that time was too much in the i
ascendancy to induce investors to
stay with a quartz proposition un
less phenominal values were dis
covered. The old Connolly mine,
the Sliscovich and Big Hurrah
quartz mines are examples of the
indifference to quartz in those
dys. It was all placer. Just as in

the decline of placer, attention is
centered on quartz. So will it be !
in the Nome camp in the future.
And the development artd active i
operation of one quartz mine (and j
we have them here) will make J
Nome a great gold camp equal to i
any, not only in Alaska, but any !
place in the world. |

Tom Gaffney, Sunset mining I
man, received a letter from A. C.
Stewart on the last mail, instruct
ing him to sink a shaft on the Ma
rine claim on Sunset Creek, for the
purpose of ascertaining definitely
the depth to bedrock and other
data. Mr. Stewart announces that
financial arrangements have been
completed to carry on extensive
operations on his company’s Sun
set holdings this coming season. '
He stated that he had just com
pleted a trip to Idaho where he had j
been sent to pass on some mining i
properties. He gave further infor
mation that Nome was was going J
to have considerable amount of
quartz development the coming
summer. And also added that the
Nome country, on account of the i
large gold production of last sum
mer, was looming very brightly on !
the mining and investment hor
izon.
Belated word has been received
in Fairbanks of the death in Den
ver on December 10 of Fred W.
Schauppp, well known pioneer and
Interior resident, reports the Fair
banks News-Miner.
