The Nome nugget., 1925-10-31

The Government and Territorial airplane lart!ins field at Nome is about seventy five percent complete ed. The work on the field com menced on August 2StE, During the month of September serious delays were encountered on ac- count of the excessive rains, and the work was intermittent. Dur ing the month of October the work
 was prosecuted with visor, and with the small force of men em- ployed, the results are most grati- flying. The field is situated on the
 East Side of the Bessie Road, at a point about two miles from Nome
 and is an ideal location. The
 field is cruciform in shape, one leg extending north and south. and the other East and West. The general slope is on four sides, making an ideal field for landing or taking off purposes Each course is 200 feet wide by HOO feet in length and embraces an area of about l acres. w
 While it IS not intended to finish the work this fall the crew, with one drag. one road grader, and a

ACT OF nER0lSM TO SAVE LIFE
 OF WOMAN

--.-A story or uuusuAa lattuctN h- terest was brought to Nome by Captain Thomas Peterson of the Teller Lighterage Company on Friday evening, October 3Oth...---.--
 Captain Peterson came to Nome at the request of John Read of Teller, for the purpose of bringing if possible a doctor to attend Mrs. Read who is in very sick condi- tion. Mrs. Read, so MT. Peterson states has been ailing for some time and suffering from what was considered rheumatism, sl ly growing worse she was taken over to the Lutheran Mission across the bay. This was about 10 days ago, some three days ago decided change for the worst took place and she became paralyzed from her waist down. After vainly trying every means available, it was de- cided to go to Nome for a doctor, MT. Peterson got ready his launch the "Pippin" and in company with the Tweet boys, Norman and Ed ward, started for Nome.
 Facing a strong easterly wind with a heavy surf they made Cape Spencer. when abreast of the Cape the rig used for raising and lower ing the propeller became disabled, leaving no alternative but to get the launch ashore and repair the break which took about 15 hours to accomplish by the most primi- tive means. Mir. Peterson and the boys made improviaed forge fires and with the lights from blazing fagots when the sun went down. welded the iron into shape. After this thrilling experience and putt ing their boat in shape they headed for Sledge Island, the wind which had been easterly when they round ed the Cape. chopped into the south east with nasty sea running. At
  of Capt. Peterson saved them from a watery grave, battling with the angry clements they finally made the friendly shelter of Sledge Is- land after dark on the evening of the 29th, laying in the lee of the island until the forenoon of the 30th. they decided that the weather had sufficiently moderated to en- able them to make Nome. After water abated and the party reach- ed here apout o'clock. Friday evening.
 Captain Peterson modestly de c1ined to accept any encomium for the heroic endeavor he had made, to bring assistance to the stricken woman. After landing MT. Peter son rushed to Dr. Rex Swartz of flee. Dr. Swartz informed him it would be impossible for him to go as his services were too urgently required on critical cases here, how ever, the doctor gave Mir. Peterson a letter of instructions to the nurse at the Mission, directing her how to proceed in the case, also medi- cine applicable to such ailments. After doing this and attending to a few other minor matters, Capt. Peterson hastened back. leaving Nome shortly, before midnight last night, on his mission of love and mercy to tlsr rtovn of Teller 100 miles, away.
 Mr., and Mrs. Read are both well known in Nome and are old tim- CTS in the Tellsr section. before her marriaxe Mrs. Read vas a nurse at the, Swedish Luthefan Mission.
 Mr., Peterson pleads for . tele- phone service between Nome and Teller citing that a good many people are mining and prospecting in the Port Clarence and Gold Run sections. and last but not least from the standpoint of humanity.

HYDRAULIC MlnlNe SUCCESS BY
 NEW INVENTION

Harvey Grant, Nj k .'lcon anG t.o. Bodis are re enl arriva 8 on the nick of time to~ enable Mir. Bodis to catch the steamer Ala meda In an interview with Mir. Grant he states that they had a very successful season on ground mined by them on Dick Creek, where they have been working for the past four seasons. During the first three seasons they were in convenienced very much in taking care of the tailings. In order to stack the tailings it required large percentage of their water, which if such method could be dispensed with, would leave them this water for hydraulicing pur poses. Last winter MT. Grant con- ceived the idea that an improve ment could be effected by building machine to take the tailings away from the Hume. and with this end in view worked assidiously to perfect such machine, finally he succeeded in his invention.
 It is most novel invention and one that is bound to revolutionize hydraulic placer mining. The ma chine is designed on the principle of d dredge bucket line and is sim
 pae in design. being also very in expensive. Four cuts averaging 50 by 50 feet and nine feet in depth being handled on one drum of dis tillate. all the gravel and sand being cleared away, besides keeping the drain entirely clear of | .bris. As before stated the design of the machine is SO simple that il re- auires no ski ii,.l labor ts operate II, and differs technic Y in its construction from any dredse de- sign heretofore constructed. No difficulties were experienced from start to finish. beyond attending to the filling of oil cups morning and noon, no other labor is required,you simply start the machine that's all
 Pictures were taken of the machine in action but owing to some defects i, the exposure unfortunately they do not tell the tale as eontemplat- ed
 The material for the machine was secured in Nome by AIr. Grant and taken to Dick Greek via Teller to Davidson's Landing. thence over the marshes, rivers and hillsides by horses. The cost per pound was 15a cents, Of this amount the water transportation was 1& cents per pound and the overland 14 cents pound, and the same tariff extends to provisions and other summer route. In winter the charges are about eight cents per pound. Small wonder that this section has been neglected, and more apparent is the reasons why an extension of the tramway to the Kougarok and Candle Creek sec tions should not immediately be started.
 MT. Grant says there is oceans of ground that will yield handsome profits if the excessive freight tar tffs were reduced, when asked how much coal cost a ton laid down. he said we never think of coal in the, Kougarok, we hunt good willow, patch, if one can be found.
 Asked what would be the effects on freight rates if the tramway were extended he stated that at a conservative estimate it would mean a reduction of 60 percent. But that is not all. fresh vegetables and articles essential would be de- livered in day or two, where at present 1t requires weeks. 4 short spur to the Kruzagamapa Hot Springs would release m abund- ance of fresh vegetables now going practically to waste, which would
