PROSPECTORS FIND
GOOD INDICATIONS
(Nome Nugget.)
A. M. Hansen and Chris Hansen 1
partners, are prospecting on placer I
I properties between Wonder and'
Holyoke Creeks below the third !
beach line. The two men took out a |
small quantity of con! and provisions i
j and began their work.
A shaft was sunk to a depth of j
I some lib feet and a drift run 3(1 feet.;
Pannings show some exceptional
samples of go! I and the drift will bo!
extended to determine the amount of
! pay dirt.
The gold may prove to be merely
l t pocket and then also may de\ -lop
into a real new strike. Whatever]
j ihe results will be is yet to be de
, ermined. Those men wvill continue
j tiiclr work as long as their finances
hold out or enough pay dirt has beer,
i blocked out to assure the future of
| the mine. In the event that these
men succeed in finding and develop
ing a new strike winter mining will
i receive an impetus that has long
; been dormant.
