Capt. Schiller Concludes
Study of Rat Control
In The Nome Vicinity
Capt. Schiller, who has been
conducting an experiment and
study of rats in this area since
last December, and who placed
rat poison around Nome and
Nome Field this week, reports
that comparatively few rats were
found at the city dump or in
town. This was due mainly, he
said, to the fact that the poisoned
rats ran to their holes to die and
to the effects of the extermination
program carried out early this
spring. He recommended that the
city plan extermination twice a
year to control the situation.
At Nome Field 128 rats were
found, killed by a more deadly
poison than the variety used in
town. Schiller estimated that ap
proximately five per cent of the
rats killed remained on the sur
face to be counted, indicating that
many more rats were roaming the
military area.
This extermination concludes
his study in this area, the results
of which will be published in a
medical journal and reprints will
be made available here later.
Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Boyd, of
ficials of the Northern Commer
cial Co., arrived from Fairbanks
on their annual visit to Nome.
Mr. Boyd is superintendent of N.
C. Stores in Alaska and visits
all of them at least once a year.
Equipment Ordered For
Big Hurrah Quartz Mine’s
Year Around Operation
Alaskan Associates, Limited,
will operate all winter at Big Hur
rah, stated T. P. Lane, who will
be winter manager, as the reports
of the engineers who have been on
the job all summer at the mine
have been most favorable.
Large quantities of supplies and
equipment are now being loaded
on the last boat for the winter
operation of this famous old gold
quartz mine, Lane said. The mine
was known for half a century to
contain rich ore, but had techni
cians stymied because of the water
in the mine.
Large pumps installed this sum
mer have overcome the problem
successfully and indications are
that the mine will operate for
several years, giving employment
to 15 to 20 people.
Rev. Norval Hegland, pastor of
the Lutheran Church at Teller, is
spending a few days in Nome for
the purpose of baptism. The
church has recently completed a
small building on B Sti'eet which
will be used by Rev. Hegland on
his visits to Nome.
Harry Knutson, who will be
working this winter on the Haines
pipeline with the U.S. Engineers,
has placed his son Tommy in a
private boarding school in Van
couver, B.C.
