TIN MINING
AT NOME
NOME, November 12.—Reports from
the North are to the effect that the
Bartels Tin Minin? Company are doing
active development work on their tin
properties near Cape Prince of Wales.
Twenty men are employed in the op
erations, and two Burley electric drills
are being worked to splendid advan
tage. Two tunnels are being driven in
to the mountain on which the claims
are located, ,and a distance of about 100
feet has been attained in each.
Great secrecy is being maintained by
the company as to the result of their
exploitations. Posted over the tunnels
are the words “No Admittance." Cer
tain it is that the Bartels Tin Mining
Company are doing much development
work on their claims, and it is hardly
probable that they would do this unless
they had reasons to suppose that ulti
mate success in opening up a tin ledge
of commercial value would crown their
efforts. —NUGGET.
