$10,000,000 for Alaska Business
IN JUST ONE AVERAGE YEAR the Canned Salmon Industry brings
over $10,000,000 to Alaska. This is money paid directly for local labor,
lumber, wire, cannery supplies, taxes. It is money which benefits not
only Alaskan fishery workers and workers in other industries, but also
Alaska’s professional people and merchants, whom it reaches in the form
of trade for services and goods. Thanks to the Salmon Industry, Alaska
prospers.

“RADIO RESCUE" TRY FAILS
A ‘‘remote control” rescue try
failed to save the life of Hans
F>-about 30 years of age, who
was pinned many hours under a
capsized tractor on the Ham
m aid River 12 miles from Wise
nan, December 29th.
The young Koyukuk miner, one
of the partners in the recently
formed Four-H Mining Company
was dead before he could be
freed from the weight of the
machine.
Word that Fiess was caught be
neath the tractor reached Fair
banks through the United States
Army Signal Corps and Alaska
Communications System from
Wiseman shortly before noon.
Pilot Frank Pollack, originally
scheduled to have flown to Wise
man Friday, informed Radio Sta
tion KFAR that Pilot Herman
Joslyn of Wien Alaska Airlines
was in the Koyukuk area. The
station immediately broadcast a
emergency message.
Simultaneously Doug Mathews
of the Fairbanks Airport Radio
Station and George Williams of
the Alaska Aeronautics and Com
munications Commission, two lo
cal ground stations, were sending
a plea for assistance over the
airwaves.
The message was picked up in
Alatna, and direct radio com
munication was made with Pilot
Joslyn then in the air just after
taking off from Wiseman en
route to Fairbanks.
Joslyn whirled about and sped
back to Wiseman, where addi
tional gasoline supplies awaited
him at the landing field, request
ed by radio. He then circled ov
er the spot where the helpless vie
tim lay dying under the tractor,
but could spot no place to land
his ship.
By the time men reached the
tractor and were able to release
Fiess, he was dead.
Fiess was a partner with Carl
Rudberg, Earl Lindgren, & Law
rence Adelman in the Four-H
Mining Company which was form
ed this spring for operations in
the Koyukuk.
The tractor Fiess was driving
turned over backwards when go
ing up a steep hill, the machine
hit a large stump.
The remains were brought in
to Fairbanks by Pilot Herman
Joslyn and will be sent to Wen
atchee, Washington.
