A HAPPY &
PROSPEROUS
NEW YEAR
-
Tonight marks the end of the
year 1937 and the beginning to
morrow of 1938 will witness one
of the most unusual winters
Nome has seen in many years.
The end of 1937 also marks a
point of progress for Nome and
the Sew-ard Peninsula, for dur
ing the past mining season, this
section of Alaska, produced more
gold and valuable minerals than
for some time past.
Production of gold has been in
creasing steadily every' year, and
new concerns are yearly opening
up both new and old ground.
Next season, reliable authori
ties indicate, will see many more
operators in the field and new
dredges, new machinery and new
methods of mining introduced
here.
The prospect of profitable oper
ations has increased interest in
the Nome camp, and other north
ern mining centers.
And so it is with further pros
perity and progress in sight for
193, that we wish everyone a
Happy and Prosperous New Year
—and the signs are that it will
certainly be a prosperous one.

to the 10 passengers, their bag
gage, and the prescribed mini
mum of 800 pounds of mail was
too much—it was the straw that
broke the cairn—, I mean, bogged
the aircraft down. For, according
to the Bureau of Air Commerce
men, only the latest type of air
craft now being introduced on
some of the main airlines in the
states have a performance that
could handle this, and they re
quire landing fields with runways
nearly twice as long as will be
found on this ruote.
The remedy in this instance
was easy to arrive at, for by re
ducing the required minimum
passenger carrying capacity from
10 to 8 passengers during winter
service, the Air Commerce men
say the ships otherwise meet the
requirements and are suitable
for operating off Alaska fields,
flying with an excellent margin
of safety with the allowable load.
And the Post Office men are al
so pleased in the knowledge that
soon 800 pounds or more of mail
can be sped each week to Fair
banks from Juneau and a simi
lar load brought back to Juneau
in time to be stowed on the south
bound ship.
By calling the bids to be open
ed on February 1st, it is believed
that all prospective bidders will

When informed by th • r>st
Office Department of the post
ponement in the sch duled open
ing of Uie bids, Delegate DintonJ
expressed kern disappointment.
As a tireless worker in Congress
for extension and improvement
of all mail service in the Terri
tory, he has been constantly ac
tive and generally successful in
his efforts to extend the delivery
of mail by air.
The Delegate is now working
to strengthen the groundwork he|
started last year to secure an ap- j
propriation for a loop or feeder
airplane mail route to connect
with the Juneau-Fairbanks route
at Tanacross, which will provide
airplane mail service to Cordova,
Valdez, Seward and Anchorage.
