NOME MINING NOTES
(Culled from Nome Nugget)
Messrs. Mebes and Hansen arrived
from Council th'is Fall after a fairly
successful season, considering the
many difficulties encountered. The
gold is in the ground, Mr. Mebes
declared, but the dredge had a hard
time overcoming obstacles of various
kinds.
Mr. Chas. L. Peck is a recent ar
rival from the Casadepaga. Mr. Peck
is general manager of the Casadepaga
Mining Company, Inc., and reports
a successful season which was cut
short by the high water of mid
Seipteniber, which exceeded anything
ever known. His ditches and dams,
etc., suffered to such an extent that
it was impossible to continue dredg
ing. Of the future of the Casadepaga,
Mr. Peck is extremely optimistic and
predicts a good future for the old j
Casa.
A prominent mining operator who
is well known as an authority on
placer mining declared recently that
given decent transportation facilities
the whole length of the Kougarok i
section clean thru to the Candle
Creek precinct, would be the future
gold producing part of the Seward
Peninsula the procrastinator was
the E. F. Mathews of the Kee
walik Mining Company, of Candle.
Barney Rolando who own exten
sive mining interests on Sherret
creek, in the Kougarok section has
finished his prospecting and other
preliminary work and plans to return
next Spring with the necessary ma
chinery to develop and mine his
property. In Mr. Rolando’s opinion
Sherret, Iron creek and tributaries
will all be producers in a short time.
Gilbert Russel, manager of the
Northern Light Dredge at Council,
arrived in Nome a few days ago
from the interior Camp. Mr. Russel
has had a most unique experience
this summer in that he operated on
ground at the mouth of Ophir Creek
or, on the Neukluk River, which a
number of years ago he considered
non-paying ground, of course the
money is not concetrated as on
Ophir Creek, but lays over a wider
area, but can be successfully operated
on a profitable basis, as Mr. Russel
has demonstrated this summer. Mr.
Russel has no definite idea how far
this pay can be found, but is satisfied
it extends for a distance of two or
three years’ work on the Neukluk
river.
Jerry Sullivan is another Kougarok
operator who is wTell pleased with his
season’s work, and is returninig with
supplies to prosecute winter opera
tions.
A. V. Cordovado, the Inmachuk
operator, just arrived in town from
V.V.VAVA’AVAV.VAV.SVWi
the northern section and states that
he employed twenty men - this sum
mer on ground on which he spent
three years of preliminary develop
ment work. The .results of his sea
son’s work exceeded expectations.
He, like other experienced miners of
the Candle precinct, is extremely
optimistic but deplores the present
inadequate transportation conditions
of Seward Peninsula, more especial
ly that long neglected territory ex
tending from Sheldon at the end of
the tramway to the Arctic slope.
Reports from various sources in
dicates that every one in the Kou
garok section had a satisfactory sea
son. Lack of water in the early sum
mer curtailed operations but the
Fall rains came as a God send.
Jack Mathews, manager of the
Behring Dredging Corporation, is
an arrival in town. Mr. Mathews
reports a successful season. He
states that from July 3 to Oct. 10,
the dredge covered a distance of 7,
230 feet by 250 feet in width. In
order to cover this remarkable dis
tance four dams had to be construct
ed. Mr. Mathews is an enthusiastic
booster for the Kougarok country,
and is an outgoing passenger on the
Alameda.
Si Kester, a Casadepaga mine own
er and one of the real oldtimers,
states that the Casadepaga Mining
Company’s dredge worked on ground
leased by him and he feels highly
pleased with the results. Mr. Kes
ter is satisfied that the Casa wall be
numbered among the producers next
year and many years afterwards.
Mr. Kester is an outgoing passenger
but plans to return on the first fleet.
He says there is one or two dredges
in prospect next year for the Casa.
Representative Thomas D. Jensen
and Barney Coggins, the Jess creek
mining men, have closed down for
the season, after a good summer’s
cleanup. Mr. Coggins plans to fur
ther work this winter on their prop
erties.
Mr. Chas. Shallit, who has been
prospecting on Mountain Creek, a
tributary of Glacier Creek, arrived
in Nome this week and states he is
well satisfied with the development
work he has carried on during the
past season. Primarily his search
was instituted for quartz—but in do
ing so he ran into a large body of
gravel, apparently an ancient chan
nel. Sufficient work however, has
not been done to justify an opinion
on the value of the find. Mr. Shallit
is a passenger on the Alameda, but
is coming back over the ice early in
the year to resume operations and
find the extent of the channel.
Representative Andy Nylen and
partners are recent arrivals from
Solomon River. Mr. Nylen reports
a successful season on their Shovel
Creek dredge and after .staying in
