71 Passengers Are
Carried By NAT
Ford Plane Sunday
Sunday, the Ford tri-motored
plane of the Northern Air Transport
Inc., of Nome took aloft, for sight
seeing trips, 71 passengers, in six
flights, of approximately ten min
utes duration each.
This is a record for passengers
established for any one plane in
any one day in Alaska. It is also
believed to be a record of the num
ber of passengers carried off of any
field in the Territoy of Alaska, in
one day, and this, after the plane
had arrived from Fairbanks.
The rides were free, donated by
the NAT, to introduce their newdy
purchased Ford plane to the public
of Nome. Pilots Wien and Brown
veteran fliers of this country, flew’
the ship yesterday afternoon when
the flights were made.
Passengers decried the smooth
riding qualities of the plane, after
seeing much of the mining country
around Nome and even glimpsing
the far-away Sawtooth Range, the
peaks of which are already well
covered with snow, bringing to our
attention that winter will soon be
here.
Manager Vic Ross of the Northern
Air Transport said that upon the
return of the Ford plane from Fair
banks, it may be possible that sev
eal more goodwill flights can be
made, before the heavy traffic of fall
business sets in.
The Management of the Nome
Daily Nugget has made arrange
ments for complete coverage of the
World series baseball games. This
is an extra service which no doubt
will be appreciated by the sports
loving public.

Machine Job Done
On Broken Shaft
In A Local Shop
A three-throw shaft, from a fifty
horsepower Standard stationary
marine type engine, in the Tweet
dredge, located near Teller, brought
to Nome by the Mirow Air Service
was repaired by the Nome Machine
Shop.
The shaft had been broken and it
was necessary to cut off part of an
other shaft, balance and face it, and
then electric weld the junction where
the new part was added, a job de
clared by expert machinists to be
one of the most difficult ever to be
tried here.
The detail necessary for the per
fect balancing and making true of
the completed shaft required consid
erable time, but the job was turned
out speedily and the repaired part
shipped back Sunday afternoon.
Without the work having been done
here at this time, it is doubtful
whether the dredge could have com
pleted its season this year. It was
reported that the dredge was located
in the middle of the creek, with the
freeze-up coming on, a situation
which was extremely dangerous.
However, the breakdown has been
remedied by Manager W. L. Slack
of the local machine shop, and the
ARCTIC TRANSPORT CO.
