The Crucible
(Continued From Page One)
Seward Peninsula alone. These
outfits when working with their
maximum crews employ more
than 900. Most of them are nec
essarily small, working two or
three men; however, 37 compan
ies employ five or more.
Almost half of the enterprises
are essentially hydraulic mines
and about a quarter of these
plants use scrapers or bulldozers
or pumping plants. Relatively low
xx>sts are sometimes obtained at
well equipped hydraulic mines,
but consideration must be given
each individual piece of ground.
A bulldozer-pumping plant com
bination may be economical on
one creek and a white elephant
on another.
Theoretically anyone who stak
es a claim is a prospector. If this
is essentially thrue there are ab
out 350 prospectors in the Cape
Nome, Kougarok and Council
City precincts. Knowing that
there are many “dummy” and oth
erwise invalid locations, this fig
ure must be taken with a grain
of salt. By segregating the loca
tions under power of attorney
and discounting many who are
obviously not prospectors a clos
er approximation of the actual
number of prospectors may be
made. Over one-hundred actual
inspectors are on record at this
office.
These figures give a rough idea
of the importance of the mining
industry' on the Seward Penin
sula. A closer approximation has
been made for the Territorial
Department of Mines. A detailed
report will be submitted to the
Juneau office after mining costs
and yardages have been worked
out.
Getting back to assaying, a
number of samples have been
brought in for analysis of tin con
tent. These will be run in a few
weeks, so if you know of any
one having tin bearing rock, have
him bring it in to the shop while
the apparatus is set up for test
ing tin.
The crucible is full. Now is the
time for all good men to take
their hats and girl and appetite
and mush down to the Roof Gar
den. Be seeing you there.
