The Nome nugget., 1954-02-01
By SEN. HOWARD LYING

Early in 1903, Grim, Randt, and O'Brien located some 30 tin claims in the Cape York district in the vicinity nowadays referred to as Lost River. In the Nov. 25, 1905 issue of the Nome Nugget, Leslie Grim was quoted as stating: "We have run five tunnels on a many claims, besides putting down many prospect holes on our other claims. We have three ledges par alleling each other. The smallest is Is it. in. in width between walls; the largest is 30 it. wide between walls. Each of the ledges has been croSs-cut and measured so we know their exact width. And all three carry tin in paying quantities. Last year we shipped 10 tons of ore to Seattle just to show that tin quartz was to be found in this section. The ore av- eraged 20 percent tin. Develop ment of the Seward Peninsula tin fields has directed renewed atten- ton to tin mining, and Seattle men have announced their inten- ton of erecting a tin smelling plant near that city"
 From the Nome Daily Gold Dig ger, the second daily newspaper of the Boring Sea metropolis, is sue of June Is, 1906, we glean:
 ''The tin mining industry of Seward Peninsula will receive great impetus this summer. All the companies who are now To- cated at Tin City, York and Lost River are preparing to install big plants and get down to actual mining. The United States Tin Co. of Cape Mountain will erect a tin stamp mill this summer. The stamps were placed on the ground last fall and the lumber is on the S.S. Indiana.
 Last Saturday B. J. White and a score of men left for the mine to prepare a foundation for the mill. A drift of over 100 feet in length was run during the winter into a solid ledge of tin ore. About 30 men will be employed regu larly."
 These high hopes for tin devel- opment on Seward Peninsula were written 50 years ago, but lack of interest by capital and government, with the nearest tin smelter in far-away Malaya, straits settlement, made the cost of orderly development prohibi- i've, and far beyond the reach of

U. Of Alaska Museum Registered Visitors From All States And Abroad

The museum at the University of Alaska has become an impor- tant place for tourists and visi- tors in the Fairbanks area. During 1853 a total of 28,068 visitors signed the museum register. A study of this register gives a good sampling of the embryo tourist industry.
 From the States 18,187 regis tered to represent each state in the Union.
 Californians are real travellers for they topped the list with 2,548.
 Washington was second with 1853. New York led Texas 897 to 879. These were followed by Hi nois, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsyl- vania and Oregon.
 Canada contributed 261 visitors, Hawaii 78, foreign countries 115.

America. On the basis of past pro duction and known tin occurren- ces, Alaska's Seward Peninsula offers the best hopes for the dis covery and development of sub- stantial tin reserves. It is just as important, perhaps more so, to develop tin reserves in the ground during peacetime, as to stockpile it from overseas.
 Again, it may be of small inn portance to the nation whether those few now engaged in the development and production of tin in Alaska fail or profit from their efforts. But it is certainly of con- siderable importance to the nation to know the quantity of, and the location of, it's natural reserve of scarce metals under our flag.

 Spotlignts Seward Pen. Deposits

the original discoverers. Yet they hung on grimly, getting out tin sporadically, about two million dollars worth up to about 1912. The greater part of this was placer tin and methods used in cluded a dredge which operated on Buck Creek for several seasons.
 Alaska tin-bearing area com prises about 1000 square miles at the extremity of Seward Penin- sula, adjoining Boring Strait, and the known occurrences are widely scattered.
 Appalling Lack of Tin in US.
 Since World War II spotlighted the appalling lack of tin in the US, either stockpiled in the ground as reserves, together with the utter dependency for US. re- quirements on foreign countries, with all the uncertainties of con- tinuous supply, the Government decided to explore and develop the Seward Peninsula tin fields.
 Under the aegis of the US. Bureau of Mines, crews were sent into the various districts, and for a number of summers they pros pected with diamond drills, shafts, and drifts. The result of this mod ern prospecting, and financial as sistance given through the govern ment's Defense Minerals Explora- ton and Procurement Adminis- tratiOn, caused aggressive explor- atiOn and development to begin four years ago. There are now four tin mining activities on Sew ard Peninsula. Others are in the planning stage.
 One of the four is privately financed; the other three are if nanced as cooperative efforts be- tween government and private enterprise. These activities con- stitute a wise and vitally impor- tant first step and should not be permitted to falter and fade away. With continued government and private industry backing and team work, this infant industry could well develop into one of major importance to Alaska, and to our natural Well-being.

 The Zenda Mining Go. of Seat tie, with D.M.E.A. assistance, has been drilling for the past two seasons in the Cape Mountain re- zion at the foot of the Boring Straits. This immediate area con- tains a number of tin bearing creeks, including Boulder, Frantic, Goodwin and Cape Creeks. The drilling on Cape Creek alone is of complete plant The proven estimate on this creek to date is five million pounds of tin in the old channels.
 Alaska Tin Corporation
 Halfway up the Boring Strait, Is miles or so back of Shishmaref, the Alaska Tin Corporation, also of Seattle, and also with D.ME.A. assistance, explored 12 claims on Turtle Creek, near Ear Mountain, during the 1853 season. They like wise did some drilling on Eldor- ado and Kruger Greeks in the same area. All showed good indi- cations of becoming producers. Here, too, several years ago, the US. Bureau of Mines explored the possibility of quartz or lode tin, on Ear Mountain. The com pany will continue its drilling and testing program through the 1854 season. Ralph Lomen of Nome's Lomen Commercial Co.,, is resi- dent agent of both this and the Zenda Mining Co. and a director in both.
 Empire Tin Mining Company
 A group of Alaska and Seattle financiers have obtained an option on the Empire Tin Mining Go. property in the Cape Mountain district, according to Willis T. Bacheller, Seattle consulting min ing engineer They propose to or ganize an exploration syndicate to complete drilling a part of Cape Mountain, begun by the U. s. Bureau of Mines in 1948. MT. Batcheller further stated that the discovery of columbite, tantalite, and rare earth fractions on Cape Mountain prompted the decision to explore the long-dormant prop erty.
 It might be noted here that all placer tin so far recovered aver ages three to four pounds of tin to the cubic yard of gravel and bedrock sluiced; likewise, that ac- tual values of tin recovered al ways exceeded by three to many times the values indicated by either the government or private drilling. This experience suggests that our known tin reserves may be several times larger than indi- cated by drilling, and that the area is much richer, generally, than most experts have thought
 United States Tin Corporation
 The United States Tin Corpora ton, Kenneth J. Kadow of Juneau,
The Nome nugget., 1954-02-01

president, is the operator of the Seward Peninsula's only lode tin mine. It is located at Lost River, about 30 miles northeast of Cape Prince of Wales, on the west shore of Grantly Harbor, and about P miles southwest of Teller.
 This corporation has been vigor- ously pushing an exploration and underground prospecting program for number of years under DIM E.A. assistance and G.S.A. production loan. It is now proving the presence of large bodies of tin ore and the feasibility of mining and milling on a year-round basis less than a hundred miles below the Arctic Circle. It has been truly a herculean task, including the driving of several thousand feet of tunneling and drifting, at the same time building a town and establishing a community.
 Village of Lost River
 Today at this bleak outpost of civilization, an arctic village been constructed. There we find a church, schoolhouse, and US. postoffice, housing for 25 families Gall occupieO, bunkhouses for the single men, village general store, privately operated warehouses, large machine shops, a milling plant, with a 150-ton-per-day cap acity, 600 kilowatts of electrical generating capacity, four air com pressors and many other small pumps and motors, a 9,000-foot insulated pipeline, with pump house, to supply water (welD for winter milling of ore, 80 to 90 Wintertime employees, mostly Es- kimo, and 42 children in school.
 The mine and village are seven miles inland from the beach, to which they are now connected by road constructed during the last two summers by the Alaska Road Commission. A 4,000-foot airfield, for which the appropriation has already been made, will be built next summer by the territory. This will replace the present small landing strip limited to single engine bush planes.
 US. Needs vs. Production
 In 1850, the latest year for which detailed statistics are avail able, the US. consumed 125,156 tons of primary tin metal. During this period it produced only 94.1 tons, of which 79.5 tons were mined in Alaska The remainder was a by-product of molybdenum mining in Colorado.
 During 1850, the US. imported 108,797 tons of tin, of which 63,764 tons came from southeast Asia and 14,720 tons came from North and South America, chiefly from Bolivia, but including 118 tons from Mexico. With southeast Asia dangerously vulnerable to Com munist invasion and Bolivia in a continuously unstable political po- sition, it is apparent that our na- tional supply of tin rests upon a very undependable base.
 It is greatly in the public inter est that we explore and develop strategic tin reserves under our own flag, or at least in North
