MINIMA SEASON NEARS CLOSE
As the 1936 mining season in most sections of Sew
ard Peninsula draws to a close, with the freezeup near,
let us direct public attention, toward the fact that this
seeion of Alaska has enjoyed one of is finest year’s, with
practically ideal conditions suitable for mining, exper
ienced.
Several hundred men have been busy, employed
at the numerous small, and individual mining camps
stretching from Nome to the Kougarok, Teller, and
down the coast to the Casa de Paga and Council and
Candle.
The gold that has already been shipped to the
States through Nome is sufficiently valuable enough for
Nome to be ordinarily proud of it. However, there is
a large bulk of gold bullion yet to be brought in from
the outlying sections which will swell the final total to
an extraordinary degree. Of noteworthy reference is
the development of tin mining at Cape Prince of Wal
es this year.
At, and in the vicinity of Nome large company op
erations have been pushed since early spring, on sev
eral creeks and rivers. As a whole, therefore, we are
absolutly right in stating that Nome has been seeing
one of its finest mining seasons.
vvnere constant labor has been employed during
almost the entire summer, except for a short period
when the rains had not yet come, there you may expect
good business, activity and progress toward the Utopia
of prosperity.
The men employed have had a job which they
can say earns them a good living. They pay their way
and are prepared in some instances to spend the winter
in the States, but largely, to remain in Nome during
the next six months, before active spring work com
mences.
The general spirit and outlook has improved mar
velously and there are very few who can say that their
business has not been above normal this year. Activ
ity in Nome itself has reflected the improvement in gen
oral conditions. The prevalence of individual prospect
ors and miners in the hills speaks exceedingly well for
the future development and discovery of new and rich
er goid-bearing sections, through the existing price of
gold, which was raised to $35 an ounce.
So, when you think of Nome, and hear of its con
ditions and the future of its vast mining fields, there is
no doubt that it is forging ahead as a producer. Its
prospectus of mining and business is much better than
it has been than for some time past. Whoever says
that Nome has been worked out and is no more, let
them stop and think a little, for they surely do not speak
with any knowledge of the development now taking
place here and in the surrounding mining districts of
Teller, Deering, Candle, the newly awakened Kougar
ok, Council, Haycock, Casa and Solmon river sections.
Now that the old school building has been abandon
ed and classes will open in the newly completed build
ing on B Street, Monday, why not the public having a
Looksee? It’s a fine new building and Nome can be well
proud of it—Let’s dedicate the new Nome School Build
ing with proper ceremonies befitting a worthy Civic
Center.—
