The performance by Pilot Bob
Reeve .of dropping a half ton of dy
namite on a big glacier or snow
covered stretch for the Big Four^
Mine near Valdez is something new
in aviatiom—Jt is understood this
high explosive was delivered at the
lofty elevation without the slight
est accident, and every stick of dy
namite was in perfect condition af
ter it had been dropped from the
plane. In order to get into a per
fect position for dropping the dy
namite, it is understood, Reeve
flew to an altitude of 10,000 feet^
and then maneuvered until within
a safe position at a suitable alto
tude above the glacier. The dyna
mite was wrapped carefully in
large mattresses. Some time ago
Reeve delivered an entire quartz
mill for the property in a similar
way.
A report on this extraordinary
exploit reads as follows:
Late last spring and early in the
summer the Big Four mine of Val
dez installed a complete Straub
Rib-Cone milling plant of 16-ton
capacity, and in doing so overcame
difficulties of transportation jin a
manner that has attracted the at
tention of the mining world thru
out the United States.
The Big Four ®iine is not ^ar from
Valdez, as the eagle flies. The trou
ble lies in the fact that very often
the simplest way to get to the mill
is to do as the eagle does-fly.
And that was how Clarence Poy,
general manager, brought the new
milling plant to the mine.
The mine lies at an elevation of
5,000 feet; near the buildings there
was a broad, snow-carpeted ex
panse of fairly flat ground, which
was converted into a temporary
landing field. An airplane „was
equipped with ■Skiis in place of the
usual wheels, and piece by piece the
sectionalized milling plant was land
ed close to the mine.
However, before the shipments
were completed, July arrived and
a warm summer melted all the snow
leaving the formerly level landing
field so rough that any plane at
tempting to land there would be
surely wrecked. So the remaining
sections which comprised a Diesel
engine, were wrapped in mattresses,
tied to parachutes, carried by plane
to a point directly over the erst
while landing field, and there dump
ed overboard, to float slowly and
safely to the ground.
Mail the Nome Daily Nugget to
your friends, and let them know
about the re-building of Nome.

Air Mail Said To

" H
Establishment of direct air mail
routes between Puget Sound and
Alaskan cities was predicted by W.
W. Conner of Seattle, vice governor
for the Pacific Northwest area of
the National Aeronautical Associa
tion.
Conner said he had reliable infor
mation from government officials
that contracts would be let for
carrying the mail under the star
route provision of the post-office de
partment. He predicted the main
route would be from Puget Sound
over water to Ketchikan and other
ports in the Territory, with branch
es to the interior.
A resolution was prepared for pre
sentation to the Aeronautical Assoc
iation convention in Seattle citing
the need of such routes for rapid
commqunication purposes and as a
part of an extensive air defense pro
gram in the Pacific Northwest and
the Territory.
While government officials did
not comment, it has been learned
fro ma reliable source that the war
department is interested in the es
tablishment of Alaskan air mail
routes.
Army officers are eager for the es
tablisment of the air mail routes be
cause that would mean the construe
tion of numerous landing fields thru
out Alaska which would be avail
able for military use.
Opening airports and air mail
routes to cover Alaska is in line
with recommendations of Delegate
Dimond, Democrat, of Alaska, who
has urged the construction of num
erous landing fields and the estab
lishment of an air corps base, man
ned by at least 2,500 men and of
ficers and with at least 100 planes
of all fighting types at their dispos
al.

AN OPEN LETTER
NOVEMBER 7«h. 1934.
TO THE PEOPLE OF NOME :
Believing it is pardonable, we take pride In bringing to your attention
the service we have given over a period of many years to Nome, and particularly
the service given you since the disastrous Are which destroyed practically all of
this city’s business section.
Within twenty four hours after the Are started our fast steel cargo
and passenger steamer the S. S. Dellwood, was on berth ready to receive cargo
for Nome. She was loaded with all dispatch and when ready was sailed from
Seattle to Nome. Immediately the S. S. Dellwood Sailed, another of our steel car
go steamers, the S. 8. Depere, was put on berth to take care of all the overflow
cargo of the S. S. Dellwood’s and to accept any new cargo offered. We want to
particularly point out the speed with which these ships were loaded and sailed.
Upon arrival here the two vessels discharged thett cargoes with ail dispatch and
have now returned to Seattle.
The United States Government gave to Nome hr emergency relief
purposes the sum of FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS. The ALASKA STEAMSHIP
COMPANY, in cutting their freight rates In half, contributed practically the same
amount. With that, this company, if it conld be possible, gave even more prompt
and better service than ever before. This service was badly needed to help recon
struct Nome before winter weather set in. It was given gladly and whole heart
edly and we are proud that we did give it.
To give Nome people full; opportunity to order needed goods, after
all other steamers had sailed far Nome, our 8. S. VICTORIA sailed later than
she has for many years past. She has discharged her cargo for Nome and is now
nearing Seattle, the termination of her voyage.
— Nome, rising Phoenix like from the ashes, is an exemplication of the
spirit of the far north showing the will to conquer under the hardest of con
ditions. We are proud to be associated with you and to have had a part in the re
building and reconstruction of a bigger and better Nome. We are proud to have had
such an extensive part In this work and we would like to compliment you upon
your integrity, your spirit, your strong heartedness, and place with it the sincere
hope that yon will never again be stricken as of this recent ire.
Most sincerely,
* |
