THE PROMISE OF NUKA BAY
With the approach of summer and the receding
snows we wonder how many of the so-called “hard-rock”
men will respond to the call of Nuka Bay where the
great Babcock & Downey gold quartz mine made its
first production last summer and where further devel
opment has only gone to confirm the early judgement
that it is the biggest gold strike in years. Little news
has come out of that district 80 miles south of Seward
thru the winter of necessity because it is particularly
rugged and guarded by heavy snows but enough has
seeped thru to justify the statement that the mining
world will be startled when the Babcock & Downey
property is fully equipped and in operation, within a
few short weeks.
We have said before in these columns that such
things as were known last fall about the Nuka Bay
strike would have created a stampede if it had occurred
anywhere in the States or Canada. But in Alaska it
caused only a ripple; also, a few cat-calls and jeers.
Notwithstanding the fact that big balls of amalgam al
most solid gold weighing many pounds recovered from
a little wornout mill testified to the phenomenal rich
ness of the vein, the scoffers refused to believe, evidently
on the theory that Babcock & Downey were modern
alchemists and had made their gold out of some base
metals they found out there.
However, the Bank of Seward took the gold as such
and after three years of hard effort these valiant pros
pectors had reached the noint where they could begin
figuring on adequate machinery to carry on further de
velopment and to pay out as they went along with plen
ty of velvet for the kitty. Now with a five-foot vein de
veloped down to a depth of over 100 feet along the
strike, much of it going 88.000 to the ton and all of it in
the class of high-grade, Babcock & Downey have “back”
enough in sight to guaranty them a fortune and all on
their own unaided efforts.
This gives the direct lie to the wise-crackers who
sneeringlv declaim that Alaska is no longer the land of
opportunitv for the poor man; that only big fellows have
a show with great aggregations of capital But bevond
that it points the way with a great chance for others
in that district lving across Kenai peninsula from Nuka
Bav where a well-recognized mineral zone is known to
exist and has given evidence of its presence in many
places. In fact there is no portion of Alaska that holds
forth greater promise right now to the prospector than
Nuka Bay and its extensions.
Sourdough Bill rises up to remark that it sometimes
takes a lot of fiction to explain the truth.
