WILL TRAN8I*ORT ORE
WITH DIRIGIBLE BALLOON
The latest use to which an Alaskan
plans putting the aircraft is the car
rying copper ore, according to the
following item which appeared in a
recent issue of the Spokane Chronicle: t
J. M. Nelson, of McCarthy, Alaska,
is in Spokane to contract for the pur
chase of one of the Harvey-Campbell
aircraft if he finds it will do the work
claimed for it. He proposes to use it
I to carry molybdenite ore from his
’ mine and to carry in supplies. The
’machine is the flexible dirigible type;
of flyer.
j "This is just what 1 want.” said Air.
: Nelson, “if it has carrying capacity
] claimed for it at anything like the
icost suggested it will do fine. Before
agreeing to take one I shall probably ;
return in the spring and see the thing
fly, or 1 will send my partner.
“Our property is 50 miles from Mc
I Carthy, situated at the head of a gla-1
jcier, where it is difficult to get in and
i out. Such a means of travel would
! be useful all the year but in winter
it would be especially valuable. The
Spokane manufacturers say it will be
' able to carry a ton and make the trip |
| of 50 miles In a little more than an
| hour, at about the cost of running an ;
1 automobile.
“Molybdenite is worth about $1.00.
| a pound. We have a ledge about 8 j
j feet wide, with ! 2 inches of pure ore.:
j Our claim is called the Giant."

suddenly asked:
“Do you do your own stretchin’?”
“Do we do our own what?” asked
the puzzled mistress.
“Stretchin,’’ repeated the girl. “Do
you put all the food on the table and
stretch for it, or do I have to shuffle
it around?”—Exchange.
