ALL NOME ATTENDS
 TUBA LAUNCHING

Friday afternoon June ,si the Tcba Ms. Company lA"r:hei .tc TWO mamTicth steel dred2..s tl '.lt. tie Creek
 ment made by Supt. P. E. Morse general invitation was extended to the citizens of Nome to be the guests of the Yuba Mfg. Company and participate in the crucial moment of the lives of these epoch making gold diggers.
 All business houses in the city closed their doors at noon and made preparations to leave for Little Creek. The time set for the ofiic- ial launching was 200 P. NJ. Be- ginning with noon autos. horse teams and saddle teams. as well as pedestrians. lined the road from Nome to Little Creek. The child ren of the Nome public school were proviedd free transportation by the Tuba Mfg. Co. A mere corpOrals guard remained in Nome, and very few of those remained at home thru choice.
 Truly this was gala day. both for Nomeites and the faithful em- ployees of the Yuba Mfg. Co. This day was to witness the culminatiQn of years work unparalleled in it's conception and beset with heart breaking difficulties and anxieties.
 One year ago last June Supt. P. E. Morse and his assistants arrived in Nome and broke ground on Little Creek for the cradles of the first two electrically operated steel dredges ever constructed thru the severely cold and stormy months of an Are tic winter.
 Having back of him an organiza- tion whose motto is thoroughness, efficiency and promptness of deli very and corps of loyal assistants working hand in hand with him. Superintendent P. E. Morse this day witnessed the beginning of the end of his long winters trials. Dreams and regulations were at stake; CT TOTS in judgment. careless workman ship or faulty material would have injured rreparably the names Of many men back of and with the local organization.
 The launching was success. due not to luck, but to the scientifically devised ways and wholehearted means employed and carried out by each and every member of the Tuba Company's force of workmen.
 The day was ideal, the sun shone with a genial warmth and it was a pleasure to be out in the open; it was the pleasantest day of the spring. The two boats, called Nome No. 1 and Nome No lowered far above the heads of the crowd. From bow to stern of each had been strung American flags and vari-col- ored pennants. Upon their sides, in huge letters, were placed enorm- ous signs. calling attention to the names of the Constructors, the Tuba Mfg. Co. of Marysville, Calif.. and the official designation of each boat. namely, Nome No. and Nome No. 2.
 As the launching and christening | was a twin event. a convenient | stand had been constructed between ] the-two boats for the sponsors, ofiic- ials of the company and friends. Pendant from the sides of each | boat was a bottle of California wine 1 draped in the colors of California l and Alaska. blue and yellow. Mrs. P. E. Morse officiated as sponsor of Nome Uo. and Mrs. J. J. Hamlyn acted similarity for Nome No. 2. On the grund. below the official stand was platform for Nome's Brass Band, which discoursed sweet music for the occasion.
 When the last inspection of No. 1 was made both boats were christen-

ed by thelf sponsors and the whistle sounded a single blast. af- ter a few minutes interval two blasts were given and finally three blasts were sounded, then the trips were sprung and Nome No. 1 start ed maiestically down the ways upon her maiden voyage. As she begun her trip whistles blew. bells rang the crowd huzZaed and pandemon ium reigned for the moment. The boat showed her nose into the water and gracefully glided to the oppos- ite side of the pond. Many persons were sceptical when they viewed the restricted area of the launching pond. which opposite Nome l was the length of the boat. Lines had been fastened ashore from the sides and drag consisting of tons of metal dredge buckets served to re- tard the speed of the launched structure To hairs nicety mo- mentum ,acceleratiCn and deflection had been calculated and when she measured her length upon the sur face of the pond her progress was opposite bank. A few minutes in tervened and No. l was backed into line with her bucket line and stacker on the shore.
 The same procedure and same en- thusiasm were followed and evinced when Nome No. 2 took to the water. No. ? is slightly smaller than No. and now rides the pond beside her sister dredge
 The Tuba Mfg. Co. has launched many new dredges, but never in the history of the company has launch ing been made with so much ma cEinery and superstructure aboard and consequently the men in charge were laboring under a strain of un- certainty as to final results. This fear was unfounded and the two boats are now to enter upon their hnal stages of completion The bucket lines and huge stackers and other minor additions will be made and then will begin the digging for which the Tuba Mfg Co. construct ed them for the Hammon Consoli- dated Gold Fields.
 The Tuba crew has been working long weary hours so to hasten the launching and now that the work was done they retired. realizing that their duty was performed.
 Mir. Morse threw open the Com- pany dining room and the hungry crowd was invited to lunch of sandwiches and coffee. Mountains of sandwiches and gallons of coffee had been prepared by the crew of culinery artists and the crowd show ed it's appreciation.
 These dredges were constructed for the Hammon Consolidated Gold Fields. the company that has pur- chased the old Pioneer Mining Com pany properties on Little Creek and will be. ready for operation during the coming summer.
 Nome No. is 1.40 feet long. 53 feet wide and has a hull depth of II feet inches and is built to dig to depth of 60 feet below the water level.
 Nome No 2 is 115 feet long. 53 feet wide and hull depth the same as Nome No. and will dig to a depth of 45 feet below the water line.
 Both machines are of the Compos- ite type, being built of steel and wood combined. All the trusses. gantrys and hull chords are of heavy steel girder construction. while the hull. house framing and gold tables are of selected Oregon Pine lumber. The superstructure is covered with steel. The buckets have ! capacity of cubic feet and

days ago by the union chiefs and
operators at Harrisburg, Pa, with
Governor Pinchot, was ratified at
the tri-district convention of the
miners here by vote of 4S0 to 20.
In the convention hall, where 500
delegates representing every local in
the hard coal belt were seated, there
rose but 20 voices in objection to
ratification. This little group repre-
sented some of the day men employed
about the collieries, who are not salts
fed with the 10 per cent increase.
The tri-distrlct convention moved
rapidly after It was called to order
by Rinaldo Capellini, president Of Dis.

plause that did not die down for some
minutes. Lewis was then named
chairman of the gathering. He at

launched by day men delegates as
soon as the afternoon session opened.
These delegates. comprising not more

workers.
