Flat City Man Builds Airship With Rubber Band Power
William Taylor, a Flat City jeweler, built a three foot airship framework of wood and wire with paper planes. Power comes from a rubber band and flight claims reach several hundred feet. Professor J. Z Newsom, famed mining geologist, arrived aboard the Nancy Bell last Thursday to assess local mineral resources. He will stay in Iditarod days, potentially longer, and will advise on the region’s ore prospects while connected with the Yulon Gold company and noted for dredging and mining work. He has visited Interior Alaska before.
