NOME: A CITY THAT
HIBERNATES

Nome, Alaska, in recent years has
been city that dwindles in winter
to IL population of but a few hundred,
and spring has brought lessening re-
turn of residents. Thus this remote
mining camp, after a meteoric career
and growth into a city, gradually is
reSuming the status of q town.
Situated on the bleak north coast Of
the icy storm-swept Boring sea, close
and showed in for about seven months
of the year. Its chief industry, placer
gold mining, depends upon the use of
running water, therefore the activi-
ties must stop when the water con-
geals. Rather than spend the ong
winter in the extreme cold, waiting
for the return of mild weather. a
large part of the population of Nome
has always returned to the States in
the fall making the journey back to
the north in June, when navigation
opens.
The overnight creature of an I'M
usual gold discovery, the town grew
up on site that probably could not
have been worse fitted for commu-
nifty of human habitatiOn. 1t is open
to the full sweep of the violent storms
and the heavy waves that often beat
in from the sea. 1t has relatively
narrow beach and Immediately within
is strip of tundra, frozen solid in
winter, but sea of mud during the
open season. In this morasS the town
grew up. In the early days men and
animals fiOundered through streets
that were knee-deep in mud. Later
the principal thOroughfares were
boarded over. Each summer fool
hardy newcomers built structures on
the beach only to have them wholly
destroyed by the blasts of September
when, almost without warning, huge
waves swept to the edge of the tundra
and often into the town itself.
Gold was first discovered near Nome
in 1898, in one Of the numerous creeks
that rise in the hills back of the town

numberlpSS centuries, while it would
appear that the cities nearby were
without doubt buried in those bygone
ages by volcanic eruptions. The Toll
tees were by tradition famous mound
builders, and here it seems they min
gied with their reverence for the SUI
preme Being the mythical religion of
astral worship. Their earliest temples
were devoted to the sun. The moon
they worshiped as his wife and the
stars as his sisters. No image was
allowed within these temples, and
their offerings were perfumed flowers
and Sweet-Scented gums.
The projecting stones of "El Sol"
the highest pyramid, seen here and
there over the pyramid, mark the up
ward progress of those indefatigable
workers until they gained the summit
of their ambition. The pyramid was
divided into stories by placing Sc
ries of truncated pyramids one above
the other.
Two hundred and siXty-eight must
be climbed to reach the summit. The
pyramid is 216 feet in height, and has
a base about 761 feet square. The
summit is 50 by 105 feet square.
Many strange idols have been dug
up. Beautiful pieces of jade and OBJ
sidian, arrow-heads, little heads of
burnt clay, earthen jars of antique
form, and others similar to those in
use at the present time were found.
One little piece of cloth that was
found is carefully guarded in the mu-
scum. What was its use? Many
skulls. as well az some skeletons, have
also been unearthed.

MEXICO'S SKYSCRAPER
PYRAMID

A pyramid that may rival those of
Egypt, for size, and prove to be even
older than the Nilesian piles, recently
was found at Teotihuacan, Mexico.
Long ago two other pyramids, relics
of the Toltec people of pre-Columbian
times, were discovered among the vol
canic ashes around San Juan Teoti-
huacan, meaning "City of the Gods" a
village about % miles northeast of
Mexico City.
Excavation of the new pyramid may
help to lift the veil which dims our
knowledge of these American pyramid
builders. members of a bygone race.
Certain it is that the pyramids of
Teotihuacan, which already are wide
II known, have kept their heads above
the vomiting of angry volcanoes for

and cross the tundra to the sea. This
discovery was widely heralded through
Alaska and the western states Thou
sands f1Ocked to the neighbOrhOod in
the summer of 1899 and the town was
born. That season the remarkable dis
cOvery was made that the sand of the
beach at the edge of the town was rich
in gold, and thousands of prospectors
with crude equipment took out respect
able fortunes. The beach could not
be filed upon, but anyone was permit
ted to dig there This unique fea-
ture of the Nome gold fields drew more
than 10000 people to the region the
following summer, and the town grew
into a thriving city. Placer miners
burrowed into the sand like moles for
80 miles or more up and down the
beach.
Nome took its name from Cape
Nome nearby. which was named as
the result of a misunderstanding 1t
means nothing unless it can be con-
strued to signify "the nameless." 1t
was discovered in the examination of
an early chart that when the physical
features of northwestern Alaska were
named one cape had been overlooked.
The penciled query 'name?" was made
beside it. A copyist translated the
Scrawled question as Nome" and the
name has stuck.

Little Jean was filed with love and
