NEW METHODS USED IN
 NOME BEACH MINING Buckets on Drag Line Brings Sand In From Sea. Arrangement
 Working Smoothly.

During the past month tract of gold-bearing land extending from Rock Creek to the east of Nome and as far west along the beach as Jess creek has been staked by numerous parties and the claims have since become the property of the Allen Mining Company of Bluff. where they have their initial investme ,k and plant It has been learned says the Nome Nugget. that the com pany intends to work the beach sands along the coast in the same manner as they are doing at Bluff
 The company employs a drag line bucket which operates on a line at tached to a dolphin out at sea some distance from shore and is brought in and dumped into a hopper and run through boxes. much the same as sluiee boxes. The water for washing the gold from the sands has to be pumped from a pond dug short distance from the beach.
 It is said that the new mining outfit works with perfect ease and is very successful from a mining standpoint. Many eontrivanees have been brought to Nome in the past 26 years in an effort to reclaim the gold from the beaches and sea. but most of them have failed in one way or another. Many times failures were due to the mining plants having been placed too close to the surf. and wien q storm would arise along the Boring Sea coast line the ma ehinery and plants were entirely wrecked and put out of commission.
 Many persons are of the opinion that no one can stake property long the coast line. but the pulliah CT of the Nugget has ascertained that the law was changed in 1900 which allows one to stake claim from mean high tide line back to the foothills if necessary. It has been found that a strip of land ex- isted along the coast between other staked claims and the mean high tide. In some instances the strip does not exceed 80 feet, while at other points it extends a distance of 400 feet. {
