Cleanup Comes
Here, Solomon
Allan Lee arrived in Nome on

up of gold bullion from the Lee
Brothers Dredging Company op
erations located on Solomon river
just below Shovel creek and a
bout seven miles from Solomon.
In an interview with the Nug

ties in that section. The dredge
was formerly known as the Nome
Montana gold dredge, it was a
stacker type, steam driven dred
ge which had not been used for
several years.
The Lee Brothers acquired the
dredge and remodeling began in
May. At least one hundred tons
of obsolete equipment was remov
ed and the dredge was made mod
ern and uptodate by changing it
to a flume type and installing 2
Cummins diesel engines for pow
er. The dredge was completed
and digging operations began the
second of September and has
been performing satisfactorily
ever since.
Twelve persons constitute the
crew, day and night shifts being
the rule. Bedrock is from 12 to
14 feet. Mr. Lee stated that the
first cleanup was satisfactory in
every respect and hoped to work
continuously until the freeze up.

Carl J. Lomen
Tells Kougarok j
Tramway, Road
Carl J. Lomen, who returned
the other day from the Kougarok
section, reported an above-the
average mining season in that
locality and that all of the oper
ators there had been busy for the
entire summer, with plenty of
water to keep their operations
constantly active.
; He commented on the fine work
being done by the Alaska Road
Commission commencing at Bunk
ier Hill, eight miles away from
Shelton,where the tramroad ends, i
in the construction of a wagon j
road through to Coffee Creek.
Mr. Lomen said that this road
would possibly be extended on
i to Dahl Creek, only a short dis
tance further along. It will do
much toward the opening up of
j this rich mineral area, he said.
His trip was concerned with min
ing business and a desire to look
:at the Kougarok country, declar
ed Mr. Lomen.
