(Continued From Page One)
Speaking of other successful
mining operations on the Inma
chuk River, he says:
Forsgren Dredge Operations
The Forsgren dredge on the In
machuk river, about five miles
below the Cordovado operations,
has been operating all summer
•with very encouraging and sue-;
cessful cleanups, and still work
ing. This concern brought in a i
“Cat” equipped with boom and i
drag line equipment with which
they successfully remove the ov
erburden from in front of the
■dTedge, which works to perfec
tion, and is said to be one of the
best and most modern systems
ever put into use in that section.
Hogendorn Hydraulicing
Dick Hogendom has solved the
problem of moving large lava
boulders from his hydraulic pit,
•on the left limit just below Han
num creek on the Inmachuk,
by the use of a modern "Cat". Ho
is reported to be doing nicely and
•expects to have another cleanup
before the freezeup.
Works Winter and Summer
Jimmy Black has a crew of men
drifting on the high channel one
mile above the Forsgren dredge,
taking out pay dirt and sluicing
up. This claim is operated both
summer and winter.
Escholt Hydraulicing
Dick Escholt, operating a hy
draulic plant about half a mile
below Utica camp, has some dif
ficulty getting rid of big lime
slabs in his pits, but is said to be
making progress.
To Sink Thru Lava
Cal Calame, just above mile 13,
and about two miles below Fors
gren's camp, is back at his old
works and will sink a shaft thru
the lava this winter.
Cordovado Co. Has Good Season.
The Cordovado Gold Dredging
Company, under the receivership
of John Devine, are reported to:
have had a very successful min- I
ing season. The last hydraulic
pit was cleaned up a few days
ago, and the work of cleaning up
the flume and boxes was in pro
gress when I left for Nome.

ing on this season by the North
American Mines Inc., with a view
of taking over the property and
installing a dredge and other
modern equipment, providing thr
drill reports are found to be sat
isfactory by officials of the com
pany back in Boston. It is also
learned that 349 drill holes, con
sisting of 6000 feet of drilling
were put down this season on
this extensive tract of mining
property. However, nothing fur
ther can be learned as to the fu
ture activities of this company
until an analysis of the field re
ports are checked up.
Weather today
(U S. Weather Bureau)
High pressure centered some
where in the Siberian region of
the Arctic Ocean northwest of
Alaska continues to bring fair
and colder weather to Nome and
all of northwestern Alaska. The
low pressure area which was cen
tered over Kodiak Island yester
day has moved about 150 miles
directly south of that point; the
trough from this low still obtains
over all of Alaska except the
northwest portion. It is causing
rain over the SW- portion and
rain and fog over the south and
southeastern Alaska and the in
terior. A secondary low will pro
bably follow in the wake of the
primary and cause unsettled
weather to continue in these parts
of Alaska. Nome will probably
have fair and cold weather with
increasing cloudiness and slightly
warmer as a further outlook.
The highest temperature yest
erday was 42 degrees and the low
est last night 25 degrees.
The Cutter Northland is about
one and a half days run from
Seattle and running into foggy
weather which may retard her
arrival somewhat.
