The Cleary Hill Mine--Helmer Johnson Papers consist of business correspondence, contracts and other legal documents, four time books listing hours worked by individual laborers, and various financial papers (bank statements, receipts and invoices, assay reports). The papers concern Helmer Johnson both as an individual and as a participant in the Chatham Gold Dredging Company. Of particular interest is the printed transcript of the case of Chatham Gold Dredging Company and Tom King vs Lillian Blanche Burns and Luther C. Hess, U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, 1935. The collection also includes ten maps showing the progress of United States Smelting, Refining, and Mining Company Dredge No. 5 from 4 June to 4 Sept 1940 (eight maps) and from 15 June to 2 Sept 1942 (2 maps).

He was a partner in the Chatham Gold Dredging Company, which operated a small bucket line dredge, the first such dredge in the Fairbanks Mining District.
