of the craft stated that they would
not pass over Portland during the

strength has been encountered up
the coast which had reduced the

MINING M'.WS FROM
THR KOK.AKOK
(Special Correspondence)
Apparently the great Kougarok
Crec.nct has passed through the
llnal stages of depression and is
slowly working its way back to
its former place of activity. This
is evidenced by the broad smiles
exhibited, by many who have just
arrived from that section. No
doubt this is due to the increased
activity of the Alaska Koad Com
mission and particularly to the
faithful services rendered by Mr.
W. \V. Lukens. superintendent of
tiie said Commission, who, on foot,
has crossed the valleys and scaled
the peaks from Shelton to Candle
('reek mapping out a possible ex
tension of the tramway from Shel
ton. The extension of this tram
way is the solution for the devel
opment of the highly mineralized
section between Sheitou and Hot
Harvey Grant and partners, who
operated a hydraulic plant on Dick
('reek, enjoyed an unusually pros
perous season.
The Wells Brothers and Nelson ,
operated a hydraulic outfit on j
Dream Gulch with satisfactory re- ;
suits and are now building a new j
camp on Henry Creek where they j
will do extensive prospecting dur- j
lug the Winter.

dump on his claim above Taylor

Tom Chase, the veteran road

greatly appreciated of late years,
as his is the only roadhouse in

A good deal of favorable com

H. R. Ahrens, the North Fork
and Harris Creek Hermit, had a
very good season before the heavy
rains started.
Isadore Fix. on the Lower Koug
urok. is making a number of tests
of his large holdings there in pre
paration for dredging.
Carey & Co., on Dahl Creek had
an average season. Paut Rassmus
and Hyman on the famous No. 2
are still getting the big money.
The Coffee Creek Mining Com
pany on Coffee Creek had an un
usually wet season and did exten
sive development work preparatory
for dredging.
Geo. Thompson on Coffee Creek,
had a good season.
Peterson Bros., Alexander, Pat
terson and Horton, operated a hy
draulic lift on Iron Creek.
Dad Wheeler, who is seeking a
patent on his copper properties
near Iron Creek, seems to be un
usually happy, partly, no doubt,
on account of the many young la
dies who visited him during the
Summer. One of those young lft
dies was not content with visiting
Dad only, but went beyond the
end of the railroad to Dahl Creek.
She seemed to be equally well at
home both on the speeder, dogmo
bile, horse back and in negotiating
the niggorheads on foot.
Mr. Theisberg, the poet and art
ist from the Saat, visited Coffe*

snow-capped Sawtooth Range as
seen from Coffee Dome that his
Journey was somewhat delayed.
This view is really inspiring and
worth one’s while to go many
miles to see it.
John Donovan, operating in the
Upper Kougarok is reported to
have had a successful season. Mr.
Donovan recently returned to
Nome to spend the Winter.

MAN HKRE STUDYING
OPERATING CONDITIONS
Probably the most thoroughly
interested visitors in Nome at the
nresent time is W. B. Macaulay,
of Marysville, California. who
with his wife were passengers on
the last inbound trip of the Vic
Mr. Macaulay is chief engineer
of the Yuba Manufacturing Com
pany of San Francisco, Benicia
and Marysville. California, and
came here for more than one pur
pose. Primarily his visit was to
oversee the completion and the
turning over of the big No. 3
dredge to the liammon Consoli
dated Gold Fields, which was done
Inst week. Since that time he
has been studying its progress
t»nd watching its different funct
ions to see that it gets under way
properly. “This is for the pur
pose of getting by experience, de
tails that might not work out the
same way theoretically” said Mr.
Macaulay, “and the service that
our products are giving is a thing
that we are interesting ourselves
iu for the benefit of the buvers
and for the growth and develop
ment of our business.”
This is Mr. Macaulay's first
trip to Alaska and the study of
the conditions of placer mining
in this district is especially inter
esting to him as it brings out
problems that have not had to bp
met in many other places where
placer dredges are used. He has
been over the ground in different
directions from Nome to get an
idea of the problems that will
have to be confronted from time
to time by prospective purchasers
of dredging equipment and has
made many conclusions of benefit
for future reference.
Sevearl mining men of this
region have taken their problems
to the engineer whose business it
it to map out and prepare plans
for machinery to meet any special
conditions that might arise at
different locations and he has ex
pressed his willingness to see any
who have problems of this kind
in mind with the idea of helping
them with their mechanical prob
lems of mining.
The Yuba Manufacturing Com
pany’s plant at Marysville covers
an area of three city blocks and
is equipped with heavy machinery
capable of handling the largest
and heaviest of dredge parts and
other machinery. The plant was
lullt in Marysville twenty years
ago as that city was in the heart
