Nome Mining Is
Best in Years.,
Maynard States
Expects Better than 1886
Despite Dry Season
Handicap

Headed for the best gold mining
season in recent years, the Nome
area should produce "at least sew
eral thousand dollars more in gold
than in 1896 when in excess of ST.
100000 was mined, Russell May
nard, manager of the Nome Daily
Nugget, told The Empire today.
Mr.. Maynard arrived in Juneau yes
terday afternoon by PAA plane to
attend a session of the Alaska Pub
lie Welfare Board.
At the Gastineau Hotel, Mr. May
nard said the season probably would
be more favorable despite the ham
dicap of a slow July and August,
at which time little water was avail
able with which to operate the
dredges. The dryness, too, mater
tally hardened the placer ground
resulting in slow mining progress
% Dredges Operating
Twenty-Five dredges were oper-
ating full force on the Seward PEN
insula when Mr. Maynard left for
Juneau The only dredge in the area
not being used is at Teller, where
litigation tied the mine up for such
a long period it would not have
been profitable to operate.
The Kougarok section, about 10
miles from Nome, is receiving good
play this year, Mr. Maynard said.
Some of the finest mines in the
area are located there. Airplanes
are responsible for operation OF
mines in this area, for while it has
been known for years that minerals
existed in paying quantities at Kou-
garok, it has always been impossible
to get supplies and materials into
operation before July With air.
planes, work is started in the middle
of May and can last for a much
great time.
Hydraulic, Sluicing
In addition to the dredges, 100 or
more hydraulic and sluicing oper-
atorS are at work.
Mr.. Maynard said it would be i'm
possible to announce the exact
amount of gold taken out of the
area until Federal figures are made
public next year. He bases his fl
cures on statistics gathered from
various miners.
This is Mr.. Maynard's second Wis
it to Juneau this season. He at
tended the first meeting of the We'll
fare Board last May.
He said the gold mining season
in the Nome district would be COM
pleted the latter part of October
giving miners about two more
months of operation this year.

PRINCE REGENT INLET,
Sept. 3.-The Hudson's Bay

the schooner Aklavik fulfilled a
400 year-old dream of Arctic
navigators when she charted a

Wetern Canadian shores by sea
voyages.
A new Northwest Passage was
mapped through BellOt Strait

This is the first time ship
has passed through BellOt

The Nascopie started from
Montreal picking her way
through the Strait, came upon
the AkIavik when the latter YES
sci suddenly nOsed around

vessels n0sed alongside each
other. The Aklavik came from

Stefansson Coordinating
In Search for Six SOUiet
Fliers Lost IN Far North
BY PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.--Efforts
at rescuing the Russian filters lost
in the Arctic open again a quaint
little chapter in northern explora-
ton.
Vilhjalmar Stefansson, top-flight
explorer OF the dog-team days, is
coordinating the rescue efforts. with
headquarters in the Russian en-
bassy here. Stefansson is generally
conceded to know his Arctic. But
he had one noted critic, the late
Roald Amundsen, himself lost amid
the ice floes with several compan-
ions who set out in a plane to
rescue the second and Inflated No
bile flight into the Arctic in 1928.
Stefansoon says there is no dam
ger of the Russians starving If they
landed with any equipment. More
over, he says, they probably could
land their plane safely on the ice.
Years ago, Stefansson and pair
of college youths travelled afoot
across part of the ice area in which
the present search is being conduct
ed.
