$60.40 SHOWN
BI NEW ASSAY
W. J. Bledsoe returned from the
Skatway Chief late last night, after
inspecting the work which is being
done there, and reports good progress
being made.
It looks as though "there is noth
ing to it" or Mr. Bledsoe has just
received at assay taken from some of
the latest rock taken out of the lat
est rock tak< n out of the mine which
-hows a value of $S0.40.
Mr. Bledsoe is still unable to give
any definite information as to even
the probable width of the vein, but
the work thus far done would indi
cate that it will be sufficient to make
a mining camp out of Skagway.

A "BOON AND A BLESSING"
The following letter tells of what

lands :
London. W. Aug. 26 '11.
llr. L. S. Keller.
Skagway, Alaska, I'. S. A.
i Dear Sir: ?
I have today mailed you copy of
"Westminster Express" relative to
the visit of your respected citizen Mr
George Mowl.
We were delighted with his com
pany, his history and the fortunes of
Skagway.
Living in almost a tropical climate,
with wars and rumours of war, and
strikes among all classes of labour,
Mr. Mowl came amongst us as a
"boon and a blessing' with his breezy
nature, born doubtless in the environ
ment of the ecstasy of Skagway. a
place and a Palace we long to visit!!
With kind regards to all the Arctic
Brotherhood,
Yours Very Faithfully,
Dr. Darby.

Royal R- Pullen and Russel Ellis,
who have been spending their vacar
tion in Skagway, were passengers on
the Princess May for Seattle where
they will re-enter the University of
Washington.
These two young men have been in
Alaska working hard at manual labor,
supposedly for "the coin" but it has
leaked out that they will both be on
the 'Varsity Eleven this year, and
that it was "brawn" they were seek
ing. From the hearty hand shakes
at departure, they are sure taking
with them what they came after.
The Harbor Boat Peterson, after
returning from Point Retreat made
the round trip to Skagway today.
J. J. Chambers left this afternoon
on the Peterson enroute to Porcupine
where he goes to operate the hoist,
for the next six weeks or the Porcu
pine Gold Mining Company. During
his absence, Elmer Wheeler will fill
his position at the White Pass shops.
Mrs. J. Zaccarelli. wife of the pro
prietor of the largest fruit and book
store in Dawson, arrived out on last
night's train and while awaiting the
departure of the Princess May, she
has been a guest of the Pullen house.
This is the first time Mrs. Zaccar
elli has been out for ten years.

DECLARED OFF

MIL'WJWKEE Sept 14? On account
of the opposition which the author

the Wolgast-McFarland fight have
called the fight off.
"EIGHT DAYS
TO TOE STATES"
FAIRBANKS. Aug. 17? Convinced
that a short route to the outside Is
the one, great, crying need of the
Tanana valley, the Time* will at once
devote Its first and best efforts to
bring about the fulfillment of that
need. Prom today on. the Times will
carry at its masthead the slogan
"Bight Days to the States," and will
carry it until success crowns the ef
fort, or until the paper dies in the
attempt. Needless to say the Times
does not expect to die.
By the circuitous routes that exist
today between Fairbanks and the
outside, passengers and mail may
cover the distance in sixteen days.
Twenty-one days is very fair average
time, and four full weeks is common
enough. A moderately good automo
bile road from Fairbanks to Chltina
will reduce the time to eight days.
Yon will be able to make a round trip
to the States in the best time It
Lakes you now to go one way. The
present trail from Fairbanks to Chl
tina will be converted Into a good
automobile road by summer of 1913,
at no colossal expense.
The mast recent mail to leave Fair
banks left by boat one week ago to
night. The next mail will leave on
Wednesday or Thursday ? ten ful
days between. At this time of year,
when speed in business correspond
ence is of more Importance than at
any other time , such a condition of
afairs is intolerable. With an auto
mobile road to Chitina, thence rail to
Cordova, and a five day run to Puget
Sound, the mall service will be or
ganized into some semblance to regu
larity. nnd it will he possible to re
celve a reply to correspondence with
in three weeks at the longest ? the
time It takes for a letter to travel
one way. __
From time to time the Times will
submit the testimony of competent
persons to convince the people of in
terior Alaska who may he skeptical
that an eight-day route to the States
Is a feasible proposition. The succeaa
of the proposal depends npon the en- j
tire people of the interior, and It will
not succeed unless the people take an
artlve Interest In It. The Times does
not presume to be able to accomplish
anything alone, but It hopes to arouse
the people to a realization of what
can be done, and to march in the
front rank with the workers.
