Dan Jones Returns From ,
Anchorage Mining Office
Dan Jones, Associate Mining En-!
gineer for the Territorial Depart
ment of Mines, returned to Nome
this Friday after an extended stay
in the Anchorage area. He had
been placed in charge of the De
partment’s office in Anchorage
until a permanent engineer could
be secured. While in that area he
m a d e several examinations of
mining property as well as safety
examinations of the coal mines in
the Matanuska Valley.
Mr. Jones was also called up to
Fairbanks during April for a series
of mining conferences with other
Department Engineers and during
this time he was able to take in
the commencement exercises of
the University of Alaska, of which
he is a graduate.
Dan also made an' extensive ex
animation of the coal deposits and
mines in the Healy River arba
r
where he met an old Nomite, Aben
Shallit, who has his own open cut
coal mine.
While in Anchorage Mr. Jones!
discussed with the Commissioner
of Mines the activities in the Nome
area and outlined a proposed itin
erary of this season’s work. Al
though the gold mining industry is
in very difficult difficult condi
tions, the other strategic resources
of the Second Division are becom
ing increasingly important and
their study during the coming
season will consume considerable
time and effort.
Dan said he enjoyed the trip
very much, but that it was% real
pleasure to return <to Nome again
and be back with his family.
Note of Appreciation
I wish to express my apprecia
tion to the people of Nome for
their generosity and good wishes
shown at the concert given last
week at the Community Methodist
Church. I trust I may prove worthy
of your faith in my ability.

55 cents,#coffee 38 cents a pound,

One or more of the retired old timers
could cooperate in the tourist program and
for a small charge demonstrate beach mining
for which Nome is famous.
If they could sell small nuggets to the
tourists, it would be an additional thrill as
well as a souvenir from the golden sands of
Nome,
