Parachuting a 1000 pound die
sel engine from an airplane above
an Alaskan mine, is one of the
latest achievements of aviation
in assisting the prospector in pio
neer country, to say nothing of
dropping dynamite, carbide, can
ned goods, lumber, drill steel,
meat, oil, and in short every
thing but eggs into the heart of
the frozen North, according to
Clarence William Poy, mining
engineer, of Valdez, Alaska, says
a recent issue of the Valdez Min
er. Mr. Poy presented a paper
on the use of airplanes in Alaska
mining, before members of the
American Institute of Mining &
Metallurgical Engineers meeting
for their 114th annual conven
tion in New York recently, and
predicted that airplane- will be
mst. omental in “repioneering A1
aska mining in double quick
time.”

except by ail ted b\
Mr. Poy, who attributes tin. suc
cc.-sfu 1 operation of many such
properties to the intrepid pilots
of the North and the ingenious
uses to which the airplane has
been put.
"Many mining properties like
ours were high in the mountains"
Mr. Poy said. “and since sky
hooks were out of the question,
we considered the airplane. At
the Big Four Gold Mines in this
lust year we have overcome our
transportation handicaps by the
use of airplanes. It has been
found most satisfactory for all
around freighting and most of
our supplies are delivered in win
ter on ski-equipped planes by
pilots experienced in flying re
gardless of altitude or snow glare.
These conditions are extremely
t ieky and may easily prove fa
tal to a pilot who, experienced
though he may be, is not versed
in this phase of flying.
During the past year more
than sixty tons of mining mach
inery and supplies were trans
ported to tiie mining properties
by airplanes without any damage
or loss, according to Mr. Poy. The
transportation of eighteen tons
of freight to the mine would
have taken at least one season
or about four months of good
weather, at a cost of seven times
more than that of airplane frei
ghting. The eighteen tons were
transported by plane in 1 week.
The diesel engine which was
parachuted from a plane was dis
sembled in four main pieces.
Mattresses were tied around each
piece and a Russell parachute
harnessed to ;t. care being taken
that the load would hang with
the desired end downward. The
rip cord or release cable was tied
to the plane. Each parcel wa>
dropped at an elevation of 300
feet and landed right side up.
In less than two hours time, after
the freighting of the diesel start
ed. it was transported, ready to
be set up. with no damage of any
kind to the engine, and was in
operation next day. The para
chutes prevented the parcels
from landing with momentum;
each parcel weighed from 250 to
400 pounds. The parachutes
weighed from 25 to 30 pounds
each. The cost for transporting
the diesel thus was less than 11
cents a pound. Tons of dyna
mite, each wrapped in a burlap
sack, were also dropped from
lanes. Other goods were put in
5 gallon oil cans, stuffed with
hay, while drill steels were tied
at the ^nd.s with burlap. Even
die:-.cl oil -21 barrels of it or 250
gallons— was dropped, with a
loss of only 30 gallons, from an
altitude of 200 feet. Fifty gallon
drums were u. ed. half filled.
Specially equipped airplanes
are used and the cost for plane
freighting in the Valdez district,
according to Mr. Poy, is from
$60 to $30 a P n. or $5.00 to $10.00
a ton mile.
