IHILLJH TO FLY
Harold Gillam, head of the Gil
lam Airways, operating in the
Copper River Valley section, ar
rived at aFirbanks recently and
intended to leave there for Copper
Center wth a small plane pur
chased by two boys there, accord
ing to the Fairbanks News-Miner.
The plane, a Golden Eagle, was
sold by Game Warden Sam O.
White to Hector McLean and Eddie
Dehart. They will be taught to
fly by Gillam.
The flier said the Nabesna
quartz mine is looking better ev
ery day and there is every indica
tion it is going to be a big mine.
About $1,000 worth of ore is going
through the mill daily now. Con
centrates are shipped to the States
and they are ferried from the
mine by Gillam.
He will start hauling in 20,000
pounds of gasoline and will bring
out a like poundage of concen
trates.
Ore has been struck at three
different levels in three different
tunnels, he said. The mill will
be operated until the freeze-up
and development work will contin
ue through the winter.
