LOMEN COMMERCIAL CO
To Use Tailings
Of Cold Dredges
Defense Projects
The go-ahead signal on the first
of a string .of seven major air
p rts for Alaska to cost $3,000,000
will be given soon M. C. Hoppin,
superintendent of CAA airways
j said following a sub-arctic sur
1 vcy flight completed rec ntlv.
The contract for the first field
at Nome will be let probably this
w ek the superintendent said, af
ter arrang m nts were made to
use old tailing piles to surface
the three 3,500-foot runways.
Mr. Hoppin described the new
system of airports as “Class III
fi Ids,” indicating they will have
at least three runways, with pos
sibly a fourth added to some of
the fields. Besides Nome they
will be constructed at Ruby, Ju
neau, Boundary, Big Delta, Cord
ova and Kotzebue. A tentative al
location of $3,000,000, has been
made to complete the projects,
j Inspection of the site at Kotze
| but was also made by the CAA
party which included W. L. See
ly, civil engineer and E. D. Dono
van, radio engineer. It was also
planned to survey the' Ruby site
but bad weather prevented land
isg there.
Seven Other Fields
Mr. Hoppin described the con
i struction of air fields in the far
northern part of the territory as
unusually difficult for a flat ter
rain because of the tundra cover
I ing the frozen ground. At Kotza
bue a long spit was tentatively
s lected as the field site while at
Nome the tailings from dredges
will make ideal runways. Since
the fields must come up to speci
fications for handling multimotor
orod ships construction problems
in the peculiar type of ground be
com; numerous.
Other major air fields may be
added to the list of seven, already
approved before spring, Mr Hop
pin said.
Meanwhile work is still contin
; uing on the 1941 construction pro
gram and Mr. Hoppin expressed
satisfaction with the progress.
Gives 1941 Program
| “The 1941 program which real
ly began last year is about 60 per
cent complete,” Mr. Hoppin said.
“If everything goes as we have it
! planned I think the wrork will be j
35 p rcent finished by June 30.
j There will naturally be a great
! speed-up after the warmer wea
ther sets in this spring. All of
the surveys have been complet
i d”
Mr. Hoppin said the 1941 pro
. gram c nsisted of the following
' construction:
Radio range stations at Beth
el, Kodiak, McGrath, and Nak
1 nek. Communications stations at
McGrath, Farewell, Aniak, Lake
Minchumina, Seward, Kenai and
I
Tanana. Airfields at Farwell, An
iak, Lake Minchumina, Iliamna,
j McGrath, Nenana and Stillman i
1 Lake. This program when cotn
pl ted will cost approximately
$1,200,000.
Over The Top
A flight check of the Nome
Ruby-Fairbanks range station
i was made by “Flying the beam”,
j for 300 miles from the east shore1
of Norton Bay to Hot Springs
over “thick” weather.
“We went right ov r the top,
wthout seeing ground until we
got to a bend in the river near
Hot Springs,” Mr Hoppin said.
Jack Jefford of the CAA flight
inspection division, piloted the
officials on the long survey trip.
