BELIEVES III NOME’S
MINING FUTURE
W. P. Hanmion. when interview
ed by a Nugget representative, ex
pressed most optimistic views re
garding the future of Nome mining
developments. He reiterates the
statements made by his Nome rep
resentatives that the policy of the
Hammon Consolidated Gold Fields
is to economically and successfully
mine the gold bearing gravels of
this district. To this end the best
engineering minds of the country
ure associated in an active campaign
to bring order out of chaotic, anti
quated methods of mining. Mod
ern methods, best scientific equip
ment and an organization function
ing smoothly are the means em
ployed to achieve results.
The Hammon Consolidated Gold
Fields comes to Nome fully equipp
ed to meet the many different prob
lems confronting them. Thier pur
pose is to get the gold in the most
e^ctfinical manner and in the larg
est quantities. The best mechani
cal devices and the best procurable
brair.s will be employed to this end.
When asked his opinion of the
country Mr. Hammon states that
upon making a personal examina
tion of the properties and surveying
the work accomplished by his lieu
tenants in the local field he is per
fectly satisfied with what he finds.
His engineers’ reports submitted to
him on the outside are fully proved
by personal contact and he has full
confidence in the future develop
ment of his own company properties
The Hammon Consolidated Gold
Fields are here to stay for many
years and their operations will he
extended as conditions permit. Con
struction work will be rushed by a
corps of employees who make no
false moves, no “cut and fit meth
ods’’ are employed, everything has
its place and every man his work
clearly defined.
The history of the Hammon oper
ations reveals that in no instance
have their operations been other
than highly successful, due to their
scientific methods of operation.
In conclusion Mr. Mammon states
that the development of his com
pany properties will open the field
for other operations, all tending to
build up the local industries.
Their presence in the field is not
to pursue a policy of elimination of
other operators, rather to encourage
others to help develop the country’s
go!n resources.
Many men will be employed sum
m r and winter to complete present
construction and after preliminary
work has been accomplished opera
tions will be begun early and con
timed late in the season so as to
obtain the best results.
The purpose of the Hammon Con
solidated Gold Fields Is to procure
the greatest possible quantity of
gold with the least expense incident

SKIFF GAPSIZES FOUR
MEN HAVE NARROW
ESCAPE DROWNING
Early this morning the Nome
Lighterage Company's tug Genev
ieve left for Cripple River to bring
back to Nome a barge loaded with
oil drums from the Hall dredge.
Upon arrival at the river men
from the tug made fast a line to the
barge and lifted one of the barge
anchors. A skiff bearing Amiel
Neyman, Gust Hansen, John Soder
hoim and Julius Gustafson left the
tug to heave the remaining barge
anchor preparatory to the return
trip to Nome. About three quar
ters of the distance from the tug to
the barge a heavy sea struck the
skifT capsizing it. The men were
thrown into the water and clung to
the bottom for more than thirty
minutes before the Genevieve was
able to reach them.
The men were rescued more dead
than alive, taken aboard and rushed
to the Snake River Harbor. When
first seen by the Coast Guard crew
the Genevieve was discovered to
have her flag inverted, indicating
that the boat was in distress. Im
mediately the Coast Guard crew
hurried to the river and in their
power launch hastened to the tug
which by this time had crossed the
entrance bar and entered the river.
John Hegness called ashore to rush
Automobiles and clothing as four
men were in grave danger. Look
ers on commandeered automobiles,
blankets and articles of apparel.
The men were taken to the Maynard
Columbus hospital. Julius Gustaf
son and Gust Hansen were found to
be in greater distress and were re
tained at the hospital while Amiel
Neyman and John Soderholm were
taken to their homes at the East
end of Nome.
All of the victims of this accident
are suffering from the exposure and
water taken internally, but with
proper medical care and rest will
recover from their experience.
While the accident ended hap
pily great credit is due the mem
bers of the Genevieve in risking
their own lives in the heavy seas
to rescue their distressed shipmates
Prompt action on the part of the
Coast Guard is praisworthy and
proves that the Guard is alert and
competent to function at all times, i

FIRST DIRECT RADIO
MESSAGE FROM FAIRBANKS
On September 12th the Nugget
received the first direct radio mes
sage sent from Fa\ ks by Capt.
C. H. Burkhead. thru Uw newly In
stalled amplified equipment. Capt.

ments are necessary to make direct

of this station equipment will en
able Fairbanks and Nome to com

obviating the retransmission from

turn to Nome in the spring and in
stall a new station at Point Barrow
during the summer.
