The Hammon Consolidated Gold
F.elds which has been engaged in :
the dredging business at Noime;
for the past fifteen years was;
taken over by the U. S. Smelting,!
Refining and Mining Co., effective!
date June 1st. The Hammon Co.,
was formerly a subsidiary of the|
U. S. Smelting, Refining and Min- •
ing Co., but henceforth the con
cern operating at Nome will be
known as the U. S. Smelting Re
fining and Mining Co. (Nome De
partment), said A. M. Hartford,
assistant manager of the Nome
organization when questioned to
day.
At present Dredges Nos. 1 and
3 are operating near Little Creek.
No. 1 just below' the main camp
and No. 3 slightly abwe the
Third Beach Line near the old
Bessie Claim, three miles from
town.
Approximately 250 men are em
ployed in the thawing, dredge
and ditch fields of operations
said company officials, following
a winter spent in the usual man
ner of drilling, repairing, etc.
A crew of men are busy putt
ing in a coffer dam at No. 2 dred
ge area in the Center Creek field,
in order to make hull repairs.
Reports last night said that a
small leak developed which neces
sitated installing a couple of more
pumps to keep the water in the
hull down, and that the situation
is now’ well in hand.
By the number of men now at i
work in the immediate vicinity
of Nome, there appears to be all
indications of a very busy min
ing season for this district as
well as in other sections of Sew
ard Peninsula, and high hopes
are held that the gold output for
1!)37 will be materially increased.
