THIRD DIVISION BACKS SUPPORTERS NEW DEAL
ART Nl BROWN DESCRIBES MINING ON KOBUK
SOURDOUGH MINER FROM
KOBUK RIVER DEHCRIHEN
MINING ACTIVITIES THERE
Art -M. Hansen, sourdough min
er and prospector of the Nome
and Kobuk regions, who arrived
at Nome several days ago, from
his mining property on Centra'
Creek, in the Kobuk section, tells
an Interesting tale of mining ac
tivities in-that section.
Mr. Hansen operates on Central
Creek, a tributary to Squirrel Riv
er, near Its mouth In the vicinity
of Kiana. He has been actively
engaged in drilling and sluicing
and has, during the past year
made enviable progress.
Upon his return to Central Ck.,
Me. Hansen expects to commence
tl>e digging of a ditch to supply
hie- section with water. This, h»
states will he in connection with
the leases and options owned by
VV. If. Suksdorf, who expect^ to
start operations either this fall or
in the spring.
Mr. Hansen was su'bpoemyd by
the V. S. government as a witness
•on the Rotman case before the
Grand Jury.
While discussing the mining "pro
hlems and activities in the Kobuk
section Mr. Hansen declare,! that
considerable hand mining, prospee
ting and drilling was going on. or.
the many creeks in the Kobuk .sec
tion. »'
There are six different out Ills
working on Cleary Creek alone.
They are Joe Fortune formerly of
Nome and “Shorty” Woods wlm
are working on No. 4 Below Dis
covery; Andy Garbeln in working
on Jack Creek, a tributary of
Cleary; Manuel I^avendero Is hy
drau'liciug at the mouth of .lack
Creek; Teddy Westlake and loej
Quillan have an outiflt on No. t
Above discovery on Cleary Creek;
five or six Eskimo boys are on No.
# below; Harry Cook and a a Eskl
mo are busy on No. 6 below- andj
all report good prospects with the J
chanoe of cleaning up some money
this fall. Of course the greatest
draw-back to mining In that sec
tion, Is its inacceslbility. It Is
extremely bard to get freight Into
that section, and as far as min
ing machinery is concerned, it la
almost • •> Isolated. However, as
v., y
aoon as the country can be devel
oped and opened up a little, It was
reported that some road work
would be done which will help
Materially.
Clarence Hawkins, a well known
iNomeite at the early days, Is drill
lng on the bench of Cleary Creek
with one or two other men. They
got their outfit in there last tall
operations
this spring.
Above Cleary Creek there la
hardly any activity at all. There
are several small outfits about
200 miles up the river from Cleary

However,, not much activity is man
ife«t there.
Mr. Hansen reported that trapp
ing and trading in that section
during the past year were fairly
good, and likely to he much better
this coming winier. The fur ques
tion, he believes, will be very
good, starting sometime in Dec
ember. He further states that
the Ashing on the Kohttk is to be
found’11 in no other place. All sum
mer long salmon, trout and other
kinds of fish may be taken from
the river at will. In the fall
when the river freezes over, holes
are dug and large goose-necked
nets are lowered into the river,
and ton after ton of the celebrat
ed Shee fish are hauled out onto
the ice, providing much fresh
ipeut for the people in that sec
tion. Apparently, from reports,
the fish can be taken from the
river as high up toward the head
waters as Long Beach, and the*
still remain Just as flr-n and tasty
as lower toward the mouth of the
river.
'At. Hansen is now paying U's
.Irs;. visit to Nome in seven yens.
He has been mining tnd trapping
ir. that section to: many years,
but declares that some day that
country will be a rich gold, pro

turn to Kotzebue and Kiana as
soon as he Is through with hla
