INSTALLING MILL, ON
BUTTER CLAM GROUP,
NUKA BAY, IN SPRING
DEVELOPMENT WORK HAS PRO
GRESSED STEADILY PAST SEA
SON-PLAN FORM COMPANY
Next spring will see a big improve
ment in the gutter Clam group of
quartz mines at Nuka Bay, which
claims are owned by tihree pardners,
George Pappadis, Jack Smith, and
Alex Kasanek. Early last spring the
last two name partners were digging
clams on the beach and accidentally
discovered a rich looking ledge which
they have since developed to such an
extent that the farther in they tunnel
the better the showing of ore.
An air compressor, drill and ham
mer will be purchased this winter
and sent down to the bay, which lies
seventy miles from Seward. It is
quite probable, it is stated, a com
pany will be organized and a suffi
cient amount of stock sold to enable
them to purchase a quartz mill. This
month the miners were working on
a three and one-half foot lead in the
tunnel which has been uncovered on
the surface for an approximate dis
tance of three thousand feet. A sub
stantial cabin was erected last fall
replacing the tents the men used
during last summer. This mine is
but one of several, in the new camp,
which proposes to put on a mill next
summer, but in considering the size
of the leads, it is believed the But
ter Clam group of claims has one of
the largest ore bodies yet discovered
in the district.
In connection with this mine it
might not be out of place to men
tion the fact, so confident are the
owners of the worth of the property,
that George Pappadis has worked in
Seward steadily for the past ’year
for the sole purpose of keeping his
two partners at work developing the
property. Every cent he has made
has practically gone into the prop
erty. On the other hand Smith and
Kasenek have worked without a rest
opening me property to tne extent
where a mill and other expenditure
are now believed warranted.

LEAD LEAGUE
By virtue of their win over the op
posing Bankers Thursday evening the (
Signal Corps team went into a tie for i
first place with the leading galavan
ters from! the Nile Park; section in the l

the first week’s schedule follows:
^eain Won Lost Pet.
Nile Park - 1 0 1000
Cable Office _ 1 o 1000
Merchants _ 0 l 000
