The Nome nugget., 1900-01-01

In contemplating the facts and fig- ures of Nome's unparalleled record as a gold producer, one can hardly blame the world for being skeptical when the first reports of the discoveries were received at Seattle and San Francisco. Below we give carefully compiled resume of developments on the creeks which are responsible for attracting the attention of the world to this sec ton of Alaska 4 These facts and fig nres can give &e only a faint concep- ton of the future possibilities of the creeks leaving the tundra and beach out of consideration altogether. The beach diggings are only an incident or the gild discoveries here-an incident so often mentioned that further dis cussion of it in this article would seem superfiuous. The tundra is mentioned

more in detail elsewhere in this issue. The greatest wealth. however, will come from the creeks They would have been more thoroughly prospected and their output would have been many times greater last season but for the discovery of the phenOmenally rich beach diggipgs, Men could not be induced to work for wages on the creeks when with rockers they could take out from $lO to $500 day on the beach.
 According to the best authoritie' economic mining can be carried O" only about three months in the yea' in the coast districts Because of the absence of fuel for thawipg in winter, and because bedrock is shallow. these will continue to be summer digglngs. Fuel for cooking and heating will have to be imported in the future.
 Anvil Creek.

tion. During his absence, Missionary Hultberg. with a party of five men, had been over to Snake river pros pecting, but pronounced LindblOm s gold discovery fake, and the men themselves admitted that they had been on a wild-goose chase.
 'LindblOm, however, knew there was gold at Snake river, and induced two Swedes, Bryntesen and Linderberg, to go with him on a prospecting tour They left Golovin bay the 11th of Sep tember, arriving at Snake river the 18th. On the 18th they found some coarse gold on what today is known as the discovery claim on Anvil creek On SpOw gulch they banned out some s30. The discovery of gold was an es- tablished fact. and the prospectors staked out claims and returned to Col ovin bay the 5th of October.
 "In order to organize mining dis trict the prospectors told their experi- epce to a few selected ones, and as 2 consequence of this information a party of seven men, consisting of Lind blom, Bryntesep, Linderberg, Kfttel- sen, Price.

On No. and on Snow gulch the party washed out $1 800 in four days
 After having built storeh0use and staked a large number of claims. the party went down to the mouth of the Snake river. where they found the schooner frozen in two feet of ice. They cut the vessel out of the ice and hauled her up on shore. and made for an Indian village located some twelve miles east of Snake river. There they secured a dog team from the natives ard started for Gol0vin hay. Two days out on the trip they met Missionary Anderson. who. being provided with reindeer teams, conducted them to the trading station"

 "The discovery of gold on the Anvil a-d adjacent diggings was originally made in 1898 by two pr0spect0rs ramed Huckberg and Blake.

Cape Nome district is situated on the northwest coast of Alaska, on the northwest arm of Boring sea. at the entrance of Norton sound. It is the southern promont'ry of large penin- sula, extending westward toward Sibe- ria between Kotzebue and Norton sounds. and largely separates Boring sea from the Arctic ocean. Westward this peninsula terminates at the l6Stn meridian in Cape Prince of Wales, the most westward extension of the Amer ican continent, which is here separated from Asia by Boring strait, about sixty miles in width.
 The promontory on which the Nome district occurs has long been known on nearly all Alaskan maps by the name of Cape Nome. The district lies about 100 miles northwest of St. Michael, and just outside of the Fort St. Michael military reservation. By

 snow and Nicola Clutches.
 Nicola gulch comprises three claims and enters Anvil creek at No. II. A large quartz vein, crossing the gulch near it's mouth, is supposed to be the principal source of Anvil creek gold, as none of the claims above the vein or on Anvil above this gulch are rich. Lack of water interfered with work here last summer.
 The output of Snow gulch is esti- mated at between $500.000 and $6OO,- 900 in two months, coming from four claims owned principally by the Pc neer Mining CO.-Brynteson, Lindberg and Lindblom. Late in the fall c. D. Lane purchased No. 4, bench claim

without any definite idea as to our destination. We had not the slightest inkling that thereb was gold to be found in and about Cape Nome.

We were absolutely ignofant of the gold bearing quality of she sand on the beach. We were content to confi-e our operations to the rich creeks which abounded there.

 It is noticeable that Linderberg in the foregoing account does not claim the distinction himself of having dis covered the riches of the Cape. but leaves the reader to guess who it was of the three that paaned out the first shovelful.
 What Br0strem Says.
 History" recoraS another claim. which, in the words of Ivan Brostrom. one of the early Nome operators. is given as follows:
 "The credit of the discovery of gold in the Nome mining district belongs to a Swede by the nwlne of E. O. Lind blom. h the spring of 1898 Mir. Li-d- blom left San Frape 'sco as one of the crew of the whaler Alaska Life on board this vessel was most disagree able to him, and when the bark a-- chored at Port Clarence to take o- board a new supply of fresh water Mir.

L,te on the evening of the second day 16 met party of white men belonging to the schooner
The Nome nugget., 1900-01-01

Falkenburg, camping close to the river emptying into Boring strait in the neighborhood of Port Clarence. These men had been up the river pros pecting at that time, and were on their return to the schooner. Being short of provisions themselves, Lindblom had to be contented with a piece of stale bread and some dried fish which he obtained from them. and continued his way back to Port Clarence. From a prospector there he secured some provisions and started out anew in the hope of reaching the trading station at Golovin bay, by way of the head waters of Fish river. He walked up the river some thirty miles, when he met party of twenty natives going down stream in their big canoe. From the chief, Pomashack, Lindblom was allowed to go with them to Golovi bay. The next day the Indians killed a walrus and landed in the evening at the mouth of Shook river, where they went fishing for a few days.
 During this time Lindblom amused himself by trying to find out if there was gold on the river banks. The only implement at his disposal orsisted o a small frying pan used by the retives for cooking purposes. With this crude and greasy miners tool he succeeded in finding some good colors, thereby establishing, to his own satisfaction, the fact that gold was there. This was the 11th of July, 1898. The next day the Indians left Shook river and sailed along the coast to the mouth of Srake river. While stopping few days fishing at this place. Lindblom again tried his former experiment with the frying pan. and found on the banks of Snake river some good cOlors.
 Wanted to Know Mining.
 ''The 18th of July the party arrived at the trading station at GOlovin bay, where Lindblom told the trader, MT. Dexter, and Missionary Hultberg about his experience and the location of gold. Not being a practical miner himself at that time, and eager to ob- tain some knowledge concerning pros- pecting and mining in general, Lind- blom went up Fish river to secure work. Gold had previously been found there. He worked at these mines until the Sth of September, when he came down Fish river to the trading sta

He came to the Yukon country via Jul neau and Dyea in 1895, going to Forty Mile and then to Dawson, at both or which localities he was actively en- gagged in the mining business. MT. Cashel is we'll and favorably known all along the Yukon, where he wit messed the great rush in the early de- velopment of the Klondike. He came to Nome on June 29, 1899, and imme- diately began to take an active part in the development of the country and to secure mining and other properties. He was so aggresslvely active in the defense of the rights Of the beach miners when an attempt was made to oust them from the beach dIggings, that he gained great popularity With the masses, received the nomination for mayor of Nome and was elected to

Wal ters banned out $120 in day; on No. 10 one man picked up $90 with his fingers after a freshet; Wm. Walton rocked out $SO in less than an hour. A majority of the owners and lessees took out dumps to be sluiced during high water next spring.

 As it's name indicates this is a dry creek, in consequence Of which it's out. put last season was very small. It is about seven miles long, and good pros poets are found from head to mouth. Bedrock is deeper than on any of the other creeks named in this article be- ing from sixteen to eighteen feet in the few shafts sunk. C. D. Lane and associates are owners by location or purchase of several claims on th.: creek, and during the coming summe. will put in large pumping plant the mouth of Dexter creek to furnisL water by a pipe line to work the mines of both Dry and Dexter creeks.

 Good prospects have been found on different claims above No. 6, but no attempt to work them has been made.
 Dexter Creek.
 Scarcity of water interfered with operations on this creek last season, but sufficient work was done to prove that it is fully as rich as Anvil. It is about three miles long and has it's source in the same mountain as Nicola gulch and Dry creek, but flows in an opposite direction into Nome river. The Scandinavian pioneers who located Anvil creek also located ma jority of the eleven claims on Dexter On the left limit the gulches are rich and pay dirt is found on the benches while gulches on the right limit do not
