HAMMON CO. TAKE
OVER HEW DREDGES
ON UTILE CREEK
The two mammoth sold dredges
which have been under construc
tion by the Yuba Mfg. Co. on Little
Creek since last lsummer have been
completed and turned over to rhe
Hammond Consolidated Gold Fields
who are now successfully operating
them on their ground located on
Little Creek.
The Yuba Mfg. Co. with their em
ployees are to be complimented up
on 'the completion of the two gigan
tic gold diggers on record time.
The conditions under which these
dredges were constructed was of
such that would not be encountered
in any other part of the world other
than Alaska. The Yuba Company i
has proven without a doubt that
outside construction work can be
carried on during the winter months
In Alaska as well as the summer.
Very little time was lost by the em
ployees of the company during the
winter months as a result, of cold
and stormy weather. The Yuba
C mpany.caine to this country pre
pared and with the purpose of over
coming all the possibilities of bad
weather conditions and this was
done as has been proven by the
completion on time of two of the
largest gold dredges ever construct
ed in this section of Alaska. The
Yuba Mfg. Co. is also to be compli
mented upon their ability to pick
men who will “go through” once a
project is started regardless of ob
stacles that have to be overcome.
The residents of Nome have made
many friends among the employees
of the Yuba Company who came up
to assist in the construction of
these dredges and the news that
many of these men will remain in
the employ of the Hammond Com
pany and other Companies near
Nome will be . gladly received by •
> regret In* the loss of
the presence of those going out, it
i« hop<*<] that they will again return
to Nome some day and if such is
the case they can rest assured that
a hearty welcome will greet their
Mrs. P. E. Morse wife of Supt. P.
E. Morse of the Yuba Co., will be
missed by many in Nome’s social
world as she was very active in
many social functions that were en
joyed in Nome during the winter
months not long gone by.
It is not known at present if
Superintendent P. E. Morse will re
turn to the states on this sailing of
the Victoria or if his return will be
delayed until the arrival of the
Buford, altho not wishing to see Mr.
Morse experience any inconvience
we would indeed be glad to have his
visit with us prolonged that much.
The Yuba Company is leaving
practically all their equipment that
was used in their construction of the
two dredges on Little Creek in
warehouses located at the scene of
tceir late activities and it is possible
and very much hoped for that this
company will at a later date return
to the district to build more dredges
in this community.
The advent of the Yuba Mfg. Co.
and the Hammond Consolidated
Goldfields into our midst have result
ed in a benefit to the community In
many ways and it is hoped that
with the addition of many newcom
ers to our midst that the old timers
and new comers will both enjoy to
the fullest extent the many new
social advantages that can be taken
advantage of in the future. The
Nugget extends Its regards to those
departing for the outside and a
hearty welcome to those who have
decided to make this community
their borne.
