Nome Airport
Word Sunday said that
Pilot Mirow of the MAS,
took off from Fairbanks en
route to Nome stopping at
various points enroute. He
was to spend Sunday night
at Mountain Village and
come on to Nome today.but
high winds are believed to
have prevented this.
The regular Pacific Alas
ka Airways Monday mail
plane, left Fairbanks this
morning and proceeded as
far as Nulato, where the
plane is held by the exces
sively high winds prevail
ing in this section today.
The Travel Air, six-pas
senger plane of the Nome
Airways was moved about
7 A.M. today by the strong
ground wind blowing, with
the result that one of the
axles was damaged. There
was 2,000 pounds of gas
tied to the ship to prevent
shifting but the wind man
aged to move it just the
same. The Stinson Jr.plane
of the Mirow Air Service
also moved a little during
the high wind but addition
al weights were added to
the moorings and it was be
lieved that no further trou
ble would be experienced.
At present the Nome Air
ways plane has about 3,000
pounds of gas tied to it to
prevent moving.

three or four days for it to
turn up, without avail. But
within an hour after the
advertisement was put in
the Daily Nugget, a native
woman and her husband
returned the watch and
chain to the Nugget office
and received a substantial
reward for same. The own

ly surprised at the quick
response to his advertise
ment and is convinced now
that it not only pays to sub
scribe for the Nugget, but
that advertising does pay.
Hundreds of other cases
similar to this are reward
ed for a small insertion of
an advertisement, they are
too numerous to mention,
but instead of thinking it is
gone and lost forever, why
not try, yourself, to recover
the things that are lost or
found.
