The number two mining area
on Seward Peninsula is the Fair

trict, which was created back in
the early 19OOs Candle, eight
miles up the Keewalik River, and
approximately 145 miles north
east Of Nome, is the location Of
the Recorders Office and the
center Of "a large, once flOurishing
mining area that is slowly but
steadily being revived as the
prospector and miner continue to
reappear in the hills and on the
creeks.
In the western portion of the
Fairhaven District, the 1mma-
rchuk River flows into Kotzebue
Sound at Deering Village. Here
several hundred Eskimos live,
with their post office, school,
store, church and missionary
Placer mining was carried on ex-
clusively along the 1mmachuk
River during the days of the pick
and the shovel, hydraulic lifts,
horse teams, and 4O-mile bitches.
To-day it is done with dredges-
two of them.
The reorganization operating these
dredges is called the Casa De
Paga Gold Co. 1t operates two
3-cubie-foot bucket flume-type
dredges capable of digging u feet
below water and handling from
1900 to 1900 yards per day each.
The main camp was moved in
1852 from its river location TO a
location high and dry on
worked-0ut bench, 10 miles up
the Irnnachuk Road. An excellent
gravelled road parallels the river
for some % miles. One dredge is
approximately a mile above the
camp, the other a mile below. The
camp consists of a cookhouSe,
wash house, three warehouses,
one complete shop, one black
smith and welding ship, an office,
mill and Il small buildings for
personnel.

this, 1900 truckloads of stone and
dirt fill were required. Although
most of the work has been done
this year, the construction has
been underway for almost four
years.
When completed, the 81 acres of
marshland will have been trans
formed into causeways and lagoons
where underwater lots will be sold
to provide for the building of boat
houses over water where the boats
may be kept inside the year around.
And along the lakefront, lots will
be plated for summer homes.
According to William R. Brown
of Lakeside, president of the Gravel
Bar Yacht Harbor, Inc, the basin
is being built primarily to serve
the boat harbor requirements of
Lakeside and the Marblehead
Peninsula. However, with the scar
city of docking space nearing the
critical stage in this area, the har-
Dor undoubtedly will be used by
yachtsmen from all over Ohio and
many from adjoining states.

SPEEDWAY KID
1T GETS IN YOUR SYSTEM =


Yours truly took busman'S
holiday over the weekend, short
trip in Ohio, Pennsylvania, New
York and a little ways into Canada.
En-route we saw several Stock car
races and believe me the folks liv-
ing in this area are shown the best
cars and the best kept tracks and
the races are conducted in far
safer manner than any that we saw
on the trip. At one track the cars
continued to race even tho the
flagman had dropped the red flag
because of an accident. The cars
travelled four laps before stopping.
At another there was a 4-car pile
up that completely blocked the
track but the flagman did not stop
the race, the cars left the track,
drove in the field and then back
on the oval. At a County Fair a
highly publicized race turned out
to be group of cars that no one
could or would call race cars, but
they ran the so called race. It is
events like these that will give
Stock Car racing a bad name .
Enough gripping about this kind
of stuff, maybe I should have stay
ed away, but I am glad that l
didn't, as now l can really appre-
ciate the races as run in our area.
