1Production Of Gold
Is Heavier In
Nome District
| The gold production of Seward
Peninsula up to the last sailing of
the steamer Victoria last month
: was $1,103,181.90.
| The October figures may be in
creased some by mail shipments of
jdust before the end of the year.
However, the production so far re
Jported this year for Seward Penin
sula is $500,000 in round figures in
j excess of that of 1928. This largely
j is the result of the augumented
'operations of the Hammon dredg
ing interests.
i Other activities in the district
{were about normal. Reindeer ship
jments were about the same as for
last year. There was a substantial
increase in the herring pack of
(Golovin Bay where over 500,000
pounds of very fine fish were pack
ed. Travel was about the same as
| in former years, and the incoming
passengers were approximately the
same in number as the outgoing
| ones.
Hard and Wilson began opera
tions last summer on Cripple, using
jan aerial drag. Pohlson operated a
! hydraulic lift below Hard and Wil
lson, having installed the plant dur
ing the season. Bill Jones operated
with a slip scraper on the upper
{end of the creek.
