More than $4,000 men are now
working on naval construction in
Government navy yards and pri-
vate shipping plants in this coun-
try. This compares with 1901
workmen on January 1st, 1884.
Immediately after the expansion
program of the Navy began, in
one year, employment jumped to
23,779 men. A year later. there
were 1881 workmen engaged on
naval construction. but the num-
Der fell off the following year
with the completion of a number
of vessels. Last year there were
more than 10000 workmen en-
gagged on naval construction. but
with the battleship program actu-
ally underway. it is expected that
the number of workmen will in
crease to $4,000 by the end of this
year.

1t is taken for granted that one
of the first effects of war in Eu-
rope would be the liquidation of
foreign security holdings in this
country This would entail a
severe shock to the market unless
plans are carefully made to take
care OF such a financial operation.

The imminence of war in Eu-
rope leads officials to make plans
TO prevent a repetition of the dis
astrous experience of 1914, when
the World War caught this coun-
try unprepared, causing vast eco
nomic repercusSions that vitality
affected the American people.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1939-04-26

Some idea of the extent of this
liquidating process can be gained
from the belief that the British
and French have about $4,000
100000 in the United States
which would become immediate
Iy available for war spending. In
addition, they possess about S4,-
600, 100000 in gold at home for
exchange in foreign products.
Moreover. they have access to
gold production that runs close
to one billion dollars a year. A
huge part of this immense sum is
certain to be expended in the
American market

There is another factor that
would affect our economic situa-
ton. War would completely dis
rupt the export trade to behger-
cnt nations. The necessity for
war supplies and the activity of
opposing fleets would leave mar
kets in other regions open to
American exporters. This would
increase the demand for Ameri-
can goods Together with the
purchasers of belligerent nations
in this country the new market
would create a demand that
would rapidly result in some
thing like a boom.

 Pumps were put to work and by evening practically all the water was pumped out of the basement. Outside of the com plete destruction of the old fash toned, outmoded heating plant, it is estimated that one hundred dollars will cover other damage to the building.

Transportation
 Old And New

The Nuggets attention has been attracted by a recent mel dent in transportation which re minds us of the contrast between old and new methods. 1t also calls to our attention the posslb- ilities for rapid development to- day as compared to the almost 1nsurmountable difficulties ex- perienced by the pioneers,
 Carl Hallberg, well known Kougarok mining man was re- cent arrival in Nome. He left Seattle on the morning of the 4th of March and arrived in Nome on the 9th. The following day he took a plane and proceed ed to Candle to investigate some drilling equipment and gold bear Ing property. After sizing up his equipment he found it necessary 10 secure a new drill, So tele- graphed the Lomen Commercial Company at Seattle.
 On Monday the 18th, the Nome office of the Lomen Commercial Company received wire from Seattle, ordering one Hillman air plane drill to be delivered to Henry Coffin's cabin on the Kug- ruk River at the earliest possible opportunity. The wire was re- ceived in Nome at 2 o'clock in the afternoon of the 18th, and 4 o'clock on the afternoon of the 14th the Wien Airlines had del ivered the drill in front of Cof- fins cabin, exactly 10 days from the time Mir Hallberg left Seat tie. He negotiated the distance to Nome, thence to Candle, where he communicated with Seattle, Seattle in turn had communicat- ed with Nome and the airplane company had effected complete delivery. The total weight hand led by the airplane company was 2,745 pounds, which included drill and accessories.
 To the person who had exper- fence in transportation 30 years ago on Seward Peninsula, this accomplishment is most interest ing. At that time to effect this delivery would have required no less than four dog teams with their drivers to transport the freight, with an extra team to carry supplies and the food re- quired enroute. The distance from Nome to Kugruk River is approximately 175 miles, and to negotiate this through rugged country by dog team would have required not less than six days each way, and the cost would have not been less than $l,00O. Airplane transportation cost $274.50 and delivery was effected in less than 8 hours, so the cash saving in this transaction was at least $750.00 and MT. Hallberg has gained one week on his drill ing campaign.
 If mining was attractive thirty years ago with gold valued at $21 and with practically no trans portation facilities, the oppor- tunities today should be tremend ously greater under the new price of gold and the new meth OdS of tranSDOrtatiOn.

Serious Fire Is Averted

What might have been ser ious confiagration was averted yesterday by the prompt arrival and efficient work done by the Nome fire department including the volunteer branch of the fire brigade and numerous other in- dividuals, when they responded to an alarm from the Office of Indian Affairs building on Sec ond Avenue, near the telephone office.
 The origin of the fire is be- lieved to be from ck-fring of the oil burning furnace, which some few weeks ago was con- demned by Chief Laws in his report to the city council, as un- safe and a fire menace. The fire which was confined to the base ment, was put under control by the use of four lines of hose and the basement was flooded with three feet of water, thus keeping the fire from reaching the upper floors. n
 During the early stages of the fire, many willing hands carried the entire contents of the build ing to safe places outside the building. MT. Fisher who is in charge of the Office of Indian Af fairs, stated that not one thing

 He has on hand large supply of plates for private as well as for commercially operated vehic les, and it appears that those who have not yet purchased their 1889 plates (and incidently dis play them on their vehicles) are in position of being advised to do so at the earliest moment.
