py planeload of visitors who could
later on in the States tell their
neighbors about twice crossing the
Arctic Circle before reaching sun
covered Nome.
Some of them enjoyed travel
ling over the territory’s narrow
gauge railroad, while others were
greatly pleased by their trip about
the city, visiting at Nome’s King
Island Village and going back into
the hills to view early-day scenes,
modern dredges at work and from
high on Anvil Mountain gaze at
the ever-shifting panorama, west
ward to Cape Rodney and Sledge
Island, Cape Nome to the east and
Bering Sea to the south.

er came at noon, bringing 15 vis
itors from three different states—
California furnishing the major
ity. In fact, visitors from the Gold

Car Thief, Escaped From
Anchorage Prison, Seized
At Isolated Gold Mine
ANCHORAGE, UP) — Donald F.
Riblett, 36, a parolee from the
Washington State Penitentiary,
was captured Sunday night at an
isolated gold mine near Talkeetna,
47 days after he escaped from the
Anchorage federal jail.
A United States deputy marshal
and territorial policemen flew to
the Denali mine, 160 miles north
of here, and spotted Riblett across
a creek. They gave chase and saw
him enter one of the old mine
buildings. Assisted by a miner and
the pilot of their plane, the offi
cers closed in on the cabin but
Riblett was not there.
Assuming he had crawled down
a water pipe from the building to
an old creek bed, they met at the
side of the creek and pulled him
by the foot.
Riblett was held here on charge
of stealing and wrecking two cars.
He escaped June 1 by pushing
his way past a guard as the jail
door opened to serve prisoners
coffee.
