Nome's special e’ection to secure
ratification of the action of the
city council, to sell the old school
building to the Nome lodge of the
Independent Order of Odd Fel
lows.
Your duty as a citizen demands
that you register your vote either
ofr or against ratification. Ap
pearing elsewhere in today’s issue
is a statement issued by the Odd
Fellows building committed at
Nome, making public their pur
pose in wishing to ogtain the
building—a purpose which nobly
fosters the continuance of frater
nal organizations in Nome, and
which, if realized, will give Nome
J
a large building in which numer
ous lodges, now without adequate
quarters, will have an opportun
ity of meeting and carry on their
business and social activities.
All qualified residents of the
city of Nome, it was declared, are
eligible to vote in tomorrow’s
Special election.
On page two will be found a

Big Crane Lomen
Company Moved
River Operations
That we are living in a new
machine age is being demonstrat
ed every day in the Nome mining
section. Many of our successful
mining operations at the present
time could not exist were it not
for the airplane, tractor, bulldoz
er and other modern equipment.
A few evenings ago Nome had
a new piece of modern equipment
to attract its attention. The Lo
men Commercial Company have
recently imported a 50-B Bucyrus
shovel which has been converted
into a crane for use at their har
bor operations. The company is
gradually shifting the scene of
its operations from the east end
plant to the river, necessitating
construction of new warehouses
and installation of new derricks.
The new piece of equipment is
part of their progressive plan.
After converting the shovel into
a crane at their machine shops,
they walked it up Front Street
day before yesterday, affording
spectators quite a treat.
This crane is said to be the
largest single piece of equipment
of its kind in the Territory. It
weighs in excess of 85 tons and
has a lifting capacity of 35 tons,
j It is equipped with a 64-foot
boom, and power is provided by
a 100 H.P. Atlas Imperial Full
Diesel engine. The entire piece
of equipment in operation meas
! ures approximately 100 feet in
length, and the cab reaches 15 ft.
4 inches above the ^ground. Such
a piece of equipment is of course
costly, and the expenditure could
not be justified except as a result
of the recent mining activity and
the prospect of greater devedop
ment in the future.
The Lomen Commercial Com
pany now have equipment capa
ble of lifting any piece of mach
inery that can be accomodated on
any vessel engaged in transporta
tion to Alaska. It is expected
that the crane will be utilized in
taking out all the compnay’s float
ing equipment, thereby saving a
large portion of the expense now
involved in putting tugs and bar
ges -n winter quarters.
The big piece of machinery, if
used for mining purposes, is cap
able of digging in excess of 6,000
i yards per 24 hours.

NOME NUGGET, Nome:
FAIRBANKS, Aug. 13, (4:00)—
Fairbanksans are a little restless
due to the ship not arriving as
early as was wxpected, and many
of those who gathered on the
fieCd retired. Local aviation peo
ple say that there is a possibility
that headwinds or other unfavor
able conditions is delaying the
arrival of the Soviet plane.
No contact is reported here since
five a.m. Fairbanks time, when
call signals were heard at Point
Schmidt, Siberia.
I The pla^e has plenty of gas to
■last until nine p.m. Fairbanks
time tonight. The plane has a
capacity of seven thousand gal
lons, but expected to take on
three thousand gallons here.
The radio station reported it
had been requested to remain
open until 8 o’clock tonight all
over Alaska.
