The Nome nugget. [volume] (Nome, Alaska) 1938-????, 1953-11-09

Early settlers in Greenland,
more than 1000 years ago, raised
cattle and even some crops, but
the climate grew colder and until
it became warmer again in recent
years, stock raising was impos-
Sible.
The Nome nugget. [volume] (Nome, Alaska) 1938-????, 1953-11-09

for 20 years, under lease from
Paul Rassmus, mined on No. l and
2 creek claims on Dahl Creek and
No. on Quartz Creek. In addi-
ton he owned group of claims
on upper Quartz Creek.
A few years ago Louie acquired
aviator Pat Bliss of Anchorage as
a partner, retiring two years ago
after selling his interests to Bliss.
This spring Bliss moved some of
his equipment over to the Hay
cock district where he joined
Charley Moon in his Sweepstake
Creek operation. However, Bliss
expects to eventually return to
resume mining on upper Quartz
Creek.
Paul Rassmus, who. landed on
the Nome beach in 1900, first went
to the Kougarok in 1908, where he
spent ,35 successive years, mining
summers and trapping winters.
Since 1888 he has spent the win
tiers in Oakland, Calf, the sum-
mers looking after his IA mining
claims on Dahl and Quartz Creeks.
Reliable report has it that a bull
dozer operation will resume on
some Of his holdings next season.
Mr.. and Mrs. Houston Alex
ander spent several months Of the
past season mining on the left
limit of No. 5 Dahl Creek and will
resume next season. They expect
to open up, in the near future,
IS and IA Dahl Creek, virgin
ground they have owned and
prospected for a number Of years.
Long time Nome and Tin City
miner George Waldhelm moved
his mining operation to the Kou-
garok area in the early 1940's,
working leased ground from Paul
Rassmus on Dahl Greek for the
first several years. Moving over
to Atlas Gulch at the head of
Quartz Creek, just over the hill
from Dahl, drilling showed good
values and Mr.. and Mrs. VALID
helm have successfully mined
Atlas for a number of years.
Two years ago, following the
death of AL Carey, a long time
successful miner on Dahl Creek,
Mr.. and Mrs. Waldhelm acquired
claims IL and IL on Dahl. Last
season they did additional drill
ing, built a bedrock drain, oc-
complished considerable stripping
and removal Of overburden and
will be ready to begin sluicing OPP
erations in the spring.

Jersey City Reflects
KennYto Commission
In Close Contest
BY the ASsocioted Press

JERSEY CITY. N. j., May 13.
Mayor John V. Kenny retained
a place on the City Commission
in a close-fought municipal
election yesterday, but whether
this meant his reelection as
Mayor remained in question.
Mr.. Kenny and his bitter rival.
Frank Hague Eggers, both were
chosen city commissioners in the
election in which waterfront
crime was the principal issue.
Both are Democrats.
Unofficial totals showed that
Mr.. Kenny carried two of his
supporters with him to victory,
giving the Mayors forces a
three-to majority on the
f1ve-man commission, which fills
the Mayor post from among it's
members. One of Mr.. EggerS'
candidates won with him.
For Mr.. Eggers. it was a step
on the comeback trail from 1949,
when a full Kenny ticket swept
Mr.. EggerS out of office and tore
the once-invincible Frank Hague
Democratic empire into tatters.
Mr.. EggerS is Mr.. Hagues S
nephew.
Recheck Almost Certain.
The election result, a big sur
prise to a city which had not
elected a split ticket in nearly
four decades. is almost certain
to be disputed.
Under New Jersey law, the
five men receiving the largest
number of votes are elected.
Thirteen candidates were in the
field, three of them independ-
entS.
Mr.. Eggers' campaign man
ager. State Senator Edward j.
O'Mara, Democrat, of Hudson
pointed to the unofficial vote re-
suits which placed an Eggers
candidate-ThomaS Gangemi-
in sixth place by only 222 votes
and said:
I'm sure there'll be a re-
check"
The Eggers forces claimed
early today they did not receive
or see tally sheets from II dis
trlcts which mistakenly were
locked up in the city clerks
Office.
Two Republicans Elected.
They demanded to see the
sheets on grounds that a check
might show that Mr.. Gangemi
possibly placed fifth. If so, this
would give the three-to-tw city
commission majority to Mr.. Egg
gers instead of Mr.. Kenny.
The vote result also was un-
usual in Jersey City in that two
Republicans were elected in the
Democratic bastion-but each
was on a rival ticket.
Joshua Ringle, only G.. o. P.
running mate of Mr.. Eggers and
a longtime Hague foe, topped
the field with 63.876 votes. MI.
Eggers followed with 62,8O5;
Bernard Berry, a Kenny man,
62,491; Mr.. Kenny. 61,738, and
Donald Spence, the Kenny Re-
publican reelected to Office,

Farm and rural fires continue
to take a needlessly high toll Of
life and property. The National

Agriculture estimate the fire loss

The NFPA says that a few farm
fires may be inevitable but that
the great majority are prevent
able if farmers will take three
simple steps to protect them
selves:
