RAIN NEEDED
TOLOVANA TO
SLUICE DUMPS
GOOD ORE AT FUNTER BAY
General Electric Company May
Buy Nome Ground—Another
Mining Deal Pending
Rain, and a lot of it, is needed to
put the Tolovana district on its feet,
according to O. P. Gaustad, owner of
the Tolovana tram, who was in Ne
nana on his Avay to Fairbanks to wait
for wret weather. No rain had fallen
in the Tolovana up to the time Gaus
tad left, and he is of the opinion that
the showers of the past couple of
days will not do a great deal of good
over there.
“Practically everybody is taking it
easy over our way, waiting for a
thorough drenching,” said Mr. Gaus
tad to a representative of The Nenana
News. “Some work is in progress, of
course,” he continued, “but not a
great deal can be done without water,
and until rain comes the camp will
continue to remain practically at a
standstill.”
There are a number of large
uuiupb waning u> De siuicea. sev
eral of them were partially put
through the boxes during the first
run of water in the spring, but there
is much work yet to be done. Kelly
and Pat O’Connor have a lot of dirt
to sluice on the Letram claim, only
about a third of their dump having
been disposed of when the water was
available for sluicing. There is an
other dump on the same claim waiting
for water, representing the last of
the Fontas pay dirt.
Bostrom & Co. have a lot of dirt
out on the Marietta, about three
fourths of the dump remaining to be
sluiced. This dump originally repre
sented 82,000 feet of bedrock, be
ing the largest in the district, mea
sured in bedrock feet. The outfit is
now sinking a new shaft on the
claim, preparatory to further opera
tions.
Bachner & McClellan are waiting
for water for hydraulic operations on
90,000 feet of gravel stripped of over
burden, ready to shoot through the
boxes with their three nozzles. They
have another block of 100,000 feet
stripped of moss.
John Simonds and Jim McIntosh
are reported to have found rich pay
in the bottom of a shaft which they
put down on the Franklin claim on
Franklin gulch, the gold being part
of the regular Livengood paystreak
and richer than anything ever found
before in the Tolovana ddistrict. The
dirt in the bottom of the chaft aver
aged about $10 to the square foot
of bedrock. At the time Gaustad left
the diggings, the discoverers were just
starting to drift from the shaft and
. were still in the pay.
Mr. Gaustad is confident that steps
will be taken soon to provide the
TAlmrortn tiri f Vi o cun.
ply of water by tapping Mike Hess
creek, which will involve considerable
ditching and a tunnel through the hill
toward the head of 14-vengood. The
project has been under consideration
for some time, and, if carried through
will mean the inauguration of much
large-scale mining in that district.
FUNTER BAY TO OPERATE
That development -work on a large
scale will be started on the mining
property of the Admiralty Alaska
Gold Mining Coming at Funter
bay, putting it on a large producting
basis, is the news given out by the
officials of the company, says the
Juneau Empire.
Max G. Niman and Levi Rokeach,,
two Brooklyn financiers heavily in
terested in the property, have just
left here for their homes after having
spent the past month in Juneau
and Funter bay. They had with them
their own mining engineer, Lucien
Robe. From their own observation
and from the report of the engineer
they expressed the greatest satisfac- -
tion over the property.
Development plans for work to
cost a half million dollars have been
outlined. The plans call for the con
tinued driving of the prospecting and
development tunnel now in several
hundred feet, use of the diamond
drills for proving new ground, sink
ing of a shaft and starting up of a
ten-stamp mill as an experimental —
plant for the testing out of the best
method of milling to suit the nature
of the ore.
The tentative plans as drawn up
call for a mining plant with a 500
ton a day capacity. Just what style
oiling plant will be installed depends
cn the nature of the rock that may
yet be struck in the new workings
that are yet to be developed.
W. S. Pekovich, original owner of
the Futer bay mine, is to remain in
charge of the property as superinten
dent. He is now looking for miners to
folro f D T^nnlor ho v nrwl ovnon+o 4 n
leave soon with 12 or 15 men. I
The speed with which the develop- |
ment work will be done depends *
largely upon the number of men
that can be hired.
It is conceded by miners of this sec
tion that the workings so far proven
on the company ground, are exceed
ingly good, running to an average
of six dollars a ton in gold. Consider
able work has been done on the claims
nearest to the beach where the above
average has been proven. A stamp
mill is on the ground with ample
water power available for running it.
The tunnel that is being driven is
expected to prove the ground in a
group of claims that heretofore have
not been prospected to any great ex
tent. It is said, however, that the
ledges in these claims are even larg
er and richer than the beach claims
that were worked on a small scale be
fore.
NOME MINES ARE SOLD
It is believed by prominent Seward
peninsula operators that the General
Electric Company will, during the
present summer, take over some of
the larger groups of lowgrade gravel
placers in the Nome section and next
season install a large electric power
plant to operate the plants necessary
for the extraction of gold in the pro
perties.
James Frawley, who recently ar- I
rived in Seattle from New York
spent two years securing options on
large holdings in Seward peninsula,
including the Pioneer Mining com
pany ground, and he is very optimistic
regarding the outcome of pending ne
gotiations.
Captain E. W. Johnson also re
turned recently from New York,
where he successfully negotiated a
deal for the sale of his holdings at
Nome. This is the second time the
ground has been bonded and a sub
stantial sum paid down. Captain
expresses the belief that there will
be large capital invested in the Nome
section during the coming two years,
and that with the introduction of elec
tric power large plants could extract
gold at a profit.
Captain Johnson declares Nome
needs a harbor more than anything
else. He says he is confident a har
bor can. be provided at Nome which
will insure the Seward peninsula
metropolis the Siberian coast trade.
