Mining Men Turn Tractors For
 Many Uses
REPLACE DOGS AND HORSES AND AUGMENT PLACER OPERATIONS 15O NOW IN USE

One of the busiest and most profitable seasons in the history of Alaska will be experienced this summer when mines operate at top speed in all, sections and many new properties will be op- ened, Troy Bockstruck. of Seat tie, sales and service representa- tive of the Caterpillar Tractor Corporation, said.
 MT. Bockstruck, while stopping over in Anchorage on his tour of Alaska mining camps, said 46 new Diesel powered Caterpillar units are already on the way to widely scattered points of the ter ritory and many more will be sent north this summer.
 Mines are getting new equip ment to speed up their operations and it will no doubt be a most prosperous season, ,"said MT Book struck, upon his arrival in Nome yesterday.
 There are. already 150 Diesel Catterpillars in Alaska and this number will be doubled before long as new uses for them are being developed.
 One of the latest uses for cater
The Nome daily nugget., 1937-04-24

pillars is in placer mines where bull dozers are pushing huge quantities of gravel into sluice boxes. Besides tractors, caterpil- lar diesel engines are used in pow cring dredges, placer pumps and a variety of other plants.
 This winter a tractor was driv- en 460 miles over ice and snow from WhitehorSe to Jack Wade, where it will be used in a mining project. While delivering the huge machine, two men hooked a 40-ton load of freight on sleds behind the tractor and pulled it over the rough terrain to the mine property. The outfit moved day and night with the men mak- ing their home in a tent on a sled
 Caterpi,lars have replaced dogs on the mail and freight run from : Whitehorse to Dawson and White horse to Mayo. Nine tractors are used in regular runs over this route. During this winter a new line was opened from Carcross to Atlin, a tractor being used to pull sleds of heavy freight over frozen lakes, rivers and rough terrain.
 Among the new caterpillar units on the way to Alaska are two tractors for L. McGee, Anchorage resident, who is developing pro- perty on the Koyukuk River near Hughes, just below the Arctic circle.
 The roar of many caterpillars will mark the development this summer at Goodnews Bay. One of the largest tractors made, no horsepower, is already on the
The Nome daily nugget., 1937-04-24

way to the GoodneWs Bay Min ing Company for the half million dollar platinum project there. This machine weighs 20 tons with bulldozer attachment. Several shovels in the Goodnews district are powered by caterpillar diesel engines.
 More than 50 per cent of the diesel powered tractors in the world are Caterpillars,' MrBock struck said.
 The tractor expert is traveling extensively over Alaska, visiting mines and other projects where caterpillars are used. He is mak ing his headquarters at the Nome Hotel, over the Nome Motor Co.,, while in Nome.
 In addition to the numerous tractors and bulldozers already operating in the Second division, more are to be shipped to Nome this summer.

Correction!

In last Saturdays section Of may
azine reviews the reviewer attempted
to give a survey Of comparative sales
Of various magazines. as this informa-
ton was furnished her by her own
neighborhood dealer. 1t appears that
she was badly mistaken on one item.
She stated that Life and News-Week
were not particularly good sellers.
The dealer tells her that this Is true
of News Week, but that Life is a first
rate seller, one Of the best. Other
dealers and readers Of the mag re-
views have written IN to protest sim
ilarly. Life, they say, sells like a
whlrlwind.
The reviewer cannot account for the
error except on the grounds OF wshfnl
thinking. She has always been indie-
nant that the magazine known at
present A. Life should have taken that
name. Life, for her, will always be
the old 1nsouciant weekly. Thoss who
remember 1t will probably understand.

That our present colossal sxpendi-

cousins may also be noted from this
Issue Of the Round Table. It contains
this announcement in its section de-
voted to American problems:
I'm the pre-war years the American
budget ran at about 1000, ,000, 900 A
year. After the war the stable plateau
OF expenditures was around $1,000
0O0, 600. Now, in the post-depresslon
period, the emergency spending OF
the early New Deal seems fixed at
around $1,000 100000, Year By year,
rs recovery has come slowly, the Gov
ernmentA expenditures have ris@n.
In 1888 they amounted TO $ 1901 .0nn.-
600. Next year they were up to S.
700,000,000. In 1898 they reached
$3.50, 900, 900. Last year, without
counting the soldiers bonus, they
were at s7,l0o 100000. This year thew
reach $500 900 900. and next years
total Is s7,725 ,oG0, 900"

vivid memories Is of her first iob
when she was assistant editor of a

just finished some brilliant analvsI,
OF something or other and the Jour-

it in the dummy with genuine esthe-

The piece Is II pages long and writ
ten without apparent deviousness. The
reviewer has read 1t al, and still does
not know what it is about. 1t Is an
absolute masterpiece. The keynote,
one gathers, Is optimism.
The Round Tables second article
deals with the political situation aris-
ing in Europe from Germanys recent
enthusiastically her rearmament
and her demand for her equality"
among the powers. This piece puts
into grave, well-reasoned words that
must have been evident TO every one
since the beginning OF German re-
pudiation OF the Versailles treaty
that there can be no equality among
rivals.
Says the Round Table commenta-
tor, There is no doubt that the
process OF the recovery Of equality
by Germany is now entering its
second stage She is once
more asking for her place in the
sun. That is complex demand.
It relates TO the position in Eastern
Europe: it raises the colonial ques-
ton: 1t has its economic side, and 1t
concerns more generally Germany's
status and influence in the councils
OF the nations"
In other words, we have progressed,
like the crab, backward, until We are
almost to the point We had reached
In 1914. However, says the Round
Table, "the problem to be solved Is
more dificult than before the war"
For today Germany has less than
she did before 1914 and is conse-
quently more determined to add to
her possessions. And today 'the ar
maments race Is already far more
intense than 1t was in 1914"
Now, who wishes to comment on
history?
A LESS depressing article is the
Round Tables description OF our
own problem of court reorganization.
Writing under title OF unparal-
leled frivolity, "The Nine Old Men,
the correspondent further drops into
the native argot sufficiently to OBJ
serve that President Roosevelt Is
conducting his own sit-down strike
against Congress
He presented his plan" says the
