Alaska Airlines
Has Pocket Tour
Of Bering Sea Area
Alaska Airlines has announced
the Nome-Bering Sea pocket tour
for the summer season which in
cludes a round trip ticket from
Anchorage to Nome, plus meals,
taxi, sightseeing and overnight
lodging in Nome.
The flight includes stops at Mc
Grath and Unalakleet with views
of McKinley enroute. While in
Nome, the tourist will have plen
ty of time to take a bus tour, rail
road tour, pan for gold, take a
skinboat ride, see Eskimo dances,
or do other things which they
might prefer, such as fishing.
They are scheduled to stay one
night but their ticket gives the
visitors the liberty of staying
longer if they desire.
This new tour, originating in
Anchorage, opens a new route
that will, without doubt, open a
new lane for tourists into Seward
Peninsula.
An interesting brochure has
been prepared and will be avail
able at tourist agencies. The tour
is reasonably and attractively
priced.

New Law Regulating
Explosives Handlers
Now in Effect
The program of certifying ex
plosives handlers in Alaska in
compliance with the new Terri
torial Explosives Handlers’ Act,
Chapter 120, SLA 1955, is now in
effect, according to Commissioner
of Mines Phil R. Holdsworth,
head of the Territorial Depart
ment of Mines. This law was
passed by the 1955 territorial Leg
islature at the express request of
a construction labor group. Or
dinarily a function such as called
for in the act is performed by a
labor agency, but in this case the
Dept, of Mines has been given the
job of carrying out the provisions.
The act requires that no person
may be employed for the purpose
of detonating explosives who does
not have a certificate of fitness,
and it provides for penalties
against the employer for noncom
pliance. The act does not apply to
persons employed in mining or
mineral exploration, or home
steaders and other self-employed
persons working on their own
property.
To obtain a certificate of fit
ness, a person must first make ap
plication. Applicants must have
had practical blasting experience
and be able to pass a rather stiff
written and/or oral examination
which will be given by Deprtment
of Mines personnel at their vari
ous offices by appointment. Appli
cants who fail will not be allowed
to take the examination again
within one year, nor will their
fees be returned to them.
