Mining Relics Along with Nuggets

Nuggets, hand made nails, and old musket balls-that's what Nor man "Hardrock" Randall is recov- ering in his sluice boxes at Wind ham Bay where he began dragline operations in old gravels a week ago.
 Randall, who did most of the construction work on the 7A miles of road to the Alaska Placer Lakes property on the Shuck River dur ing the past two summers, is now working his own property at Wind ham Bay near the mouth of Spruce Creek.
 Spruce Creek, worked by hun dreds of banners in and around 1890, was the scene of some of the earliest placer workings in Alaska.
 Randall banning the area while on the road building job, saw pos abilities near Spruce Creek and a week ago put into operation a one- yard bucket dragline dumping into 300 feet of sluice boxes.
 Surface pay is running about SC cents to the bucket, Randall said but decared values are increasing with depth.
 With two men operating the drag on 12-hour shifts, an average of "A buckets an hour is being main- tained, Randall said
 As depth is achieved more and more relics" show up, according tC Randall and his wife, professinal- ly known in photographic circles as Virna Haffer.
 We've been finding those old musket balls as big as your thumb nail, and several hand made nails along with the gold in the boxes, Randall declared, but added, "The best yet is when we uncovered the old barroom safe and thought we had something until we dug it ur and found the door gone"
 The Randalls came in on the Dart over the weekend and will be in town until Wednesday.
