TIN DEVELOPMENT
NOME’S BIG HOPE;
new mam
The big hope of the Nome dis
trict at present is the development
of the tin ledges in the Lost River
country, according to James J.
Stokes, well-known oldtimer, who
says, in a letter addressed to Charles
H. Stanford, of Nenana, that the
company which has the property un
der option is ready to spend ten
million dollars if the prospecting
now in progress discloses the pres
ence of a sufficiently large ore body.
I “It is their intention,” the letter
says, “to sink a shaft for a depth
of at least 1,000 feet and run cross
cuts, and if the property shows up
all O. K., then they will install a
| plant that will cost about ten mill
ion dollars. And they expect to
work about 2,000 men. That is
what the promoter told me, and it
is devoutly to be hoped that they
will locate what they are looking
,for, for the sake of old Nome.
! “Charles Watson, the barber, sent
,to the Outside and brought in a
j helpmeet and is now one of the
Jcitys’ family men.
j “The Government started an im
provement at the mouth of Snake
river last summer and has a little
more than half completed the pro
ject, with the probability that it
jwill be finished by next fall. This
j will give a permanent depth of
(water, of eight feet at zero tide,
'and a basin that will run up to
! j the bridge that crosses over at Bel
limont point. So, you understand,
{ I after its completion there will be
| quite a space for the harbor, and
i it will afford shelter for the mosqui
! to fleet. Barges also will be able
| to go out to and return from ships
with cargoes that can be discharged
upon docks that are to be installed
next sv miner.
1 “There was a large trade estab
lished last summer with Siberia, and
lit kept the merchants hustling to
Iget goods to supply the demands.
LA lot of fur also came over.
! “Charles Kennedy, Gunnar Kaas
jan and E. R. Jordan, United States
j marshal, have a lease on the Bear
[Cub, the property that Captain
j Carlson made his money on. It was
(thought the property had been work
jed out, but the lessees reached bed
rock yesterday and discovered a
(Christmas present in the form of
■ i
Idirt that pans from $2 to $5. The
[pay dirt ranges in depth from six
(inches to a foot, just above bedrock.
I “The soldiers at Fort Davis have
i
;been withdrawn, and it is quite a
loss to the community at large,
i “Coal is $40 a ton this winter
;and oil $16 a drum—tqo high for
.mining. In fact, the cost of pro
visions and fuel has practically put
the mining game on the blink and,
,as a consequence, there is very
.little work doing this winter. Things
are exceedingly quiet, with very lit
tle doing in a social or business
