THE THROTTLING OF
MARITIME TRADE IS
INCREASING TODAY
(By The Associated Press)
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 5, — The throttling of
America’s maritime trade increased throughout the na
tion’s port, but any immediate threat of a food shortage
here was averted when union and waraiymsemen agreed
to move perishable fruits and vegetables from ware
houses to retail stores, after a conference between
wholesale grocers and municipal authorities.
Agencies seeking the opening of peace negotiations
in the maritime strike received a setback when it was
reported that shipowners of the Pacific, representing
coastwise steam and schooner groups met last ni6hl
without deciding to renew a conference with the Mast
ers, Mates and Pilots Association, which had reached
an agreement with six out of seven of the other striking
unions.
At New York where, as other eastern and gull
ports’ seamen have conducted set down sympathetic
strikes, proposals were made at a large meeting of the
left wing members of the International Seamen’s Union
that the sitdown be extended to a general strike of sea
men in the East.
Federal shipping experts in Washington estimated
that the country overall, was suffering to the extent of
a half million dollars a days, because of the coast tieup.
At Honolulu, Hawaii, preparations were rushed
to cope with any violence, should it arise, in connection
with the maritime strike.
Jerry Calvin Who Is Enroute To Bluff,
Describes Work Be Done There
This Winter Next Spring
Jerry Galvin, well known suc
cussful Dahl Creek mining man,
in the early days of the gold
rush to Nome and the Kougarok
section, who arrived in Nome on
Tuesday’s PAA Electra plane and
who will open up a big quartz
mine at Bluff, this winter, the
story of which was published in
the Nome Nugget October 31st,
from the Daily News-Miner of
Fairbanks, had the following to
say today when interviewed by
the Nugget representative:
TO begin wnn i couia noi gei
enough space on the last steamer
sailing to Nome to carry the ton
age of equipment for opening up
the mine as I would liked to
have had, however, I was able to
ship in some hundred tons of
necessary equipment which will
allow us to further prospect and
get the mine at Bluff ready for
operation in the spring.
A fifty ton mill will be placed
in operation in the spring and
enlarged as work progresses. New
shafts will be sunk and other
necessary work to be done will
keep a crew of men engaged all
winter. We are just beginning,
but believe me or not, you will
see one of the biggest and best
mills in operation in the world,
at Bluff, and I expect in time to
see 5000 stamps working and
milling gold there.
I also expect to see in the next
five to ten years the greatest ac
tivity in quartz mining in and
around the Nome and Bluff sec
tions, that was ever known. The
boom days of Nome in its placer
mining days will only be a mem
ory compared to the future that
this section has before it, and
Nome and other new towns will
* |
get a start that will be a lasting
one, with increased population &
business in every line. This is
not only my own opinion, but
other hard rock miners as well,
said Mr. Galivin.
Accompanying Mr. Galvin, who
is president of the Alaska Home
stake Gold Mining Company, and
who are associated with him, are
E. M. Michaelson, and J. M. Mc
Donald, the latter being the min
ing engineer, who will have
charge of mine engineering.
Guild Strikers
Statement from
Wm. R. Hearst
(By The Associated Press)
SEATTLE, Nov. 5, — The
Newspaper Guild striking work
ers of the Post Intelligencer pub
lished a statement they had re
quested from William Randolph
Hearst in New York—“the elec

Roosevelt policies are what the
people of this nation want.”
H. P. Sullivan,
Formerly Nome
Died Cordova
Harvey P. Sullivan, for many
years United States marshal of
the Third Division, passed away
recently in Seward after a pro
longed illness, according to word
received by I. D. Bogart, secre
tary of the Cordova lodge of Elks.
Mr. Sullivan, whose home is
Valdez, was taken to Seward sev
eral weeks ago and later Mrs.
Suulivan was summoned there by
plane when her husband took a
sudden turn for the worse. She
was with him at the end.
The deceased was a member of
the department of justice under
at last two Republican presidents
and served a total of 12 years.
His last term extended for two
years into the Democratic admin
istration before his successor C.
J. Todd was named.
He was almost as well known
in Cordova as in Valdez and was
a member of the Cordova lodge
of Elks.
Besides his widow, three child
ren survive. They are Mrs. Fran
cis Burch of Kennecott, another
daughter, Lillian, and a son Geo
rge, both in Valdez.
The Sullivans own a grocery
store in Valdez.
Mr. Sullivan was well known
in Nome in the early days, carry
ing on mining near that city. He
was one of the passengers aboard
a small motorboat in command
of Captain Story, which left
Nome late in the fall of the year
for Bluff, and which provided
harrowing experiences for those
aboard before they were finally
abLe to get ashore, nearly frozen
to death, after the motor stopped.
They are now awaiting trans
portation to Bluff by plane as
soon as weather conditions will
permit.

A MILITANT REPUBLICAN
MINORITY EXPECTED NEXT
CONGRESS BY THE DEMOS
I
Big Problem To
Organize Work
From Maj
(By The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 5,
The decision of the nation’s vot
ers to place huge Democratic maj
orities in congress, today brought
up the problem on how to weld
' the most lopsided majority in
(history, into an efficient, workable
(legislative machine.
(Congress meets in two months
from today. At least 72 demo
crats have been elected to the
(senate and 320 to the House.
The republicans clinched only
17 in the Senate and 89 in the
House. Democrats are ahead in
j three senate races which have not
yet been decided.
A militant Republican minority
is expected to be present when
1 congress convenes.
The Democrats, though, will
control the senate for at least
four years, and probably until
1934.
Democrats elected 25 governors
and Republicans 3. Three are still
doubtful. There are Democratic
governors now, in 36 of the 48
states.

Beavers Use
Light Order
Do Overtime

(By The Associated Press)
JUNCTION, Texas, October—
John Tanner, who operates a
1,215 acre irrigated farm near
here, recently cut a hole in a
beaver dam on his place on the
South Llano river.
He placed an electric light at
the point, believing beavers
would not work at night to re
pair the dam. They kept on
working and filled in the hole.
Tanner took down the light,
saying he was not going to fur
nish electricity for beavers to
work overtime.
Advertising in the Nome Nug
get can be a paying investment.

Reindeer Cargo
On Board The
M.S. North Star
The following article regard
ing shipment of reindeer aboard
the S. S. North Star, was obtain
ed from the U. S. Reindeer Ser
vice, headquarters office at Nome,
Acting General Superintendent
Sidney Rood.
Under supervision of the Rein
deer Service approximately 165,
000 pounds of reindeer meat and
approximately 2,000 hides recent
ly were placed aboard the Motor
ship North Star for the markets
of southeastern Alaska and the
States. Disposition of these pro
ducts, which will net more than
$13,000 to the Eskimo producers
thereof, will be made by the I
dian Office ship to the crowd of
buyers who meet the vessel at the
coast towns.
The Kivalina, Buckland, Kot
zobue, and Wales herds provided
the choice reindeer which com
prise the shipment. Under dir
ection of Darrold Wagner and
Chester Sevick, the Kivalina Es
kimos have gained a reputation
for expert selection and skillful
butchering of reindeer for mar
ket.
The Buckland butchering was
conducted under direct supervi
sion of Unit Manager Briggs at
Elephant Point. Unusual lighter
ing problems were present. Low
water, resulting from north winds
driving the water from Eschschol
tz Bay, necessitated packing the
heavy carcasses for several hun
dred feet down the muddy beach
fronting the corral. After meat
and hides were loaded in small
boats, they had to be lightered
through choppy water a distance
of 16 miles to Chamisso Island.
But by overcoming these diffi
culties, the Buckland Eskimos

Dimond Said As
Goes Alaska So
Goes the Nation
(By Tbe Associated Press)
WASHINGTON D. C., Nov. 5,
—Delegate Anthony J. Dimond
from Alaska, said today that the
Territory was a better political
weather vane than Maine.
‘The slogan as Maine goes so
goes the Nation has outlived its
usefulness to a certain extent.
Now take Alaska. The Territory’s
general election was September
8th and did it show which way
the wind was blowing? The Dem
ocrats won everything but two
seats in the Alaska Legislature.
From ndw on the slogan should
be as Alaska goes so goes the
j nation.
