NOME PIER
IS OPTIMISTIC;
OUTLOOK ROOD
Nome promises to attain con
siderable importance as a fishing
center, according to If. A. Ring, a
Nome pioneer, who was interviewed
recently during a visit in Seattle.
“In the past they have caught
fish at Nome only for their own
use,” said Ring. “Last fall they
began putting down salmon and
herring for export. The fishing
business is likely to become an in
portant industry there.”
Mining will be Nome's trump, he
I
i
i
said, for it is a different kind of
mining from that of the early days,
when any man with a pick and
shovel was as good as any other.
“It is now a business for large
companies with plenty of capital,”
he said. “While there is lots of
gold at Nome, it is not so that a
poor man can mine it profitably. |
“But Nome’s chances of attaining
her early-day prominence are not
past by any means. There is al-.
ways the possibility of a big strike
A large territory not far from
Nome may again come into her
own.”
Ring has been a resident of
Nome for twenty years. He has
seen it grow from a place of 300 to
20,000 and he has seen it dwindle.
He says that he is held by the lure j
of the North, and that he has no
•intention of leaving it now.
“Approximately 700 persons left
Nome last fall for Seattle, princi-j
| pally on account of the high cost of
I living and fuel and food,” he said.}
“They will all go back in the i
| spring and more too, Alaska is a.
great empire—the coming land.”

TURNED TIDE OF
SUB ACTIVITIES
LONDON.—Depth charges, in the
opinion of many officers engaged
in submarine chasing, were the chief
factor in checking the German sub
marine campaign. The war had
gone on for nearly two and a half
years before the depth charges were
perfected. Previous to that time
trawlers dragged mines about on
cables in an effort to strike sub
marines and used other equally dan
gerous and futile devices.
But the perfected depth charges
so arranged that they could be
timed for explosion at any desired
depth, solved the problem of the
small chasers which were fighting
the submarine. Trawlers with suffi
cient speed could drop these charges
and get out of the danger zone.
The mortality among submarine
chasers immediately dropped and
the seas became very unsafe for the
sensitive underseas craft.
One of the novel devices adopted
by the British for the co-ordination
of the efforts of trawlers and sub
marines has just been divulged. A
trawler would drag a submarine by
a cable and maintain communica
tion with it by telephone. When
the trawler sighted a German U
boat, the British submarine would
slip its cable and attack the Ger
man boat before the surprised Ger
mans could submerge or prepare to
give fight.

FA1RBANKSANS GOING TO
BIG CHENA HOT SPRINGS
Mrs. Jack Baird, proprietress of

closed the place temporarily and
left this morning for the Big Chena
Hot Springs. She has been a suf
ferer from rheumatism for some
time past.
Several other well known Fair
banksans are reported to be figur
ing on leaving for the hot springs
