idual quartz stringer are too small
to be of economic value. Here ar
ound Nome where this condition
often exists, prospecting by trac
ing float is extremely hazardous.
The size of the float and degree of
wear must be considered.
The recognition of favorable
geological conditions warrants
prospecting, thus search for coal
would be useless in igneous for
mations.
It is important to note that the
geological conditions of the for
mations in the Nome group are
superficially similar to those at
other localities where ore is now
being produced. It must be fur
ther noted however that these
conditions are not necessarily
accompanied by workable or de
posits.
Old workings and dumps of ore
or waste exist at different places
in this division. The reasons ad
vanced for abandonment may be
the pinching out or faulting of
the ore body, occurrence of water,
lack of technical knowledge, or
mismanagement. A prospector
or investor should very careful
ly consider all of the reasons for
abandonment before putting time
or money in old workings, the
existence of which is not con
clusive evidence of ore workable
under present conditions. It may
be further noted that past pro
duction is not necessarily an in
dication of future values, but
actually decreases the value of
the mine.
If you have followed today’s
column throiigh thus far you
must be a real old time fossicker.
Keep your shirt on; that’s not a
fighting word; it an Australian
term defined as follows:
Fossicker: one who digs out
crevices with knife and pick, or
works abandoned claims or
■
waste heaps in the hope of find
ing gold.
So long, Fossicker.

Visit To Solomon
Dan Lhamon, manager of the
Caterpillar Division of the North
ern Commercial Co., accompani
ed by Bob Pherrin of the Nome
Motor Co., representatives of the
Caterpillar on Seward Peninsula,
motored to Solomon this morning
and returned after cinching a
deal for the Lee Brothers Dredg

to be received on the last sailing
of the Baranof from Seattle.
While in the Solomon section
the pair visited E. W. Quigley's
camp, and also Chester Milligan’s
where they discovered mining
going ahead full steam. Dredging
by the Lee’s is also proving suc
cessful, they said.
