Old And New
_
The Nugget’s attention has
been attracted by a recent inci-'
dent in transportation which re
minds us of the contrast between
j Id and new methods. It also
calls to our attention the possib-,
:lities for rapid development to
| day as compared to the almost
nsurmoun table difficulties ex
perienced by the pioneers.
Carl Hallberg, well known
Kougarok mining man was a re
' cent arrival in Nome. He left
Seattle on the m-orning of the
4th of March and arrived in
Nome on the 9th. The following
I day he took a plane and proceed,
j ed to Candle to investigate some!
drilling equipment and gold bear
ng property. After sizing up his
equipment he found it necessary
; to secure a new drill, so tele
graphed the Lomen Commercial
Company at Seattle.
On Monday the 13th, the Nome
: office of the Lomen Commercial
Company received a wire from
Seattle, ordering one Hillman air
plane drill to be delivered to)
Henry Coffin’s cabin on the Kug
ruk River at the earliest possible
opportunity. The wire was re
ceived in Nome at 2 o’clock in
the afternoon of the 13th, and 4
o’clock on the afternoon of the
14th the Wien Airlines had del
: ivered the drill in front of Cof
fin's cabin, exactly 10 days from
the time Mr. Hallberg left Seat
tle. He negotiated the distance to
Nome, thence to Candle, where
he communicated with Seattle,
Seattle in turn had communicat
ed with Nome and the airplane
company had effected complete
delivery. The total weight hand
led by the airplane company was
2,745 pounds, which included
drill and accessories.
To the person who had exper
ience in transportation 30 years
ago on Seward Peninsula, this
accomplishment is most interest
ing. At that time to effect this
delivery would have required no
less than four dog teams with
their drivers to transport the
freight, with an extra team to
carry supplies and the food re
quired enroute. The distance
from Nome to Kugruk River is
approximately 175 miles, and to
negotiate this through Tugged
country by dog team would have
required not less than six days
each way, and the cost would
have not been less than $1,000.
Airplane transportation cost
$274.50 and delivery was effected
in less than 8 hours, so the cash
saving in this transaction was at
least $750.00 and Mr. Hallberg
has gained one week on his drill
ing campaign.
If mining was attractive thirty
years ago with gold valued at
$21 and with practically no trans
portation facilities, the oppor
tunities today should be tremend
ously greater under the new
price of gold and the new meth
ods of transportation.
Serious Fire
fs Averted
What might have been a ser
ious conflagration was averted
yesterday by the prompt arrival
and efficient work done by the
Nome fire department including
the volunteer branch of the fire
brigade and numerous other in
dividuals, when they responded
to an alarm from' the Office of
Indian Affairs building on Sec
ond Avenue, near the telephone
office.
The origin of the fire is be
lieved to be from back-firing of
the oil burning furnace, which
some few weeks ago was con
demned by Chief Laws in his
report to the city council, as un
safe and a fire menace. The fire
which was confined to the base
ment, was put under control by
the use of four lines of hose and
the basement was flooded with
three feet of water, thus keeping
the fire from reaching the upper
floors.
During the early stages of the
lire, many willing hands carried
the entire contents of the build
ing to safe places outside the
building. Mr. Fisher who is in
charge of the Office of Indian Af
fairs, stated that not one thing

was broken and everything re-1
turned to the building later, for
which he feels much indebted to 1
those who worked so hard and
fast to see that everything was
saved.
Pumps were put to work and|
by evening practically all the|
water was pumped out of the
basement. Outside of the com-!
plete destruction of the old fash j
ioned, outmoded heating plant,
it is estimated that one hundred
dollars will cover other damage
to the building.
(Mr. Fisher stated today that
officials have been notified and
wires received in answer there
to, concerning the fire and the
condemning of the heating plant,
and a survey of the building and
its needs for new and modern
equipment is already under way.
