FAIRBANKS, ? According to rumor,
considerable pressure Is being brought
to bear upon the postofflco depart
ment at Washington by transporta
tion companies In Alaska to stop the
shipment of gold dust by registered
mail. Before the banks took to ship
ping by mall, the express and trans
portation companies derived a very
fair revenue from revenue from the
handling of the gold in export. It
Is being represented that the small
packages of heavy gold in the malls
are very rough 011 the roat of the
mall in the sack and on the sack*
themselves. F\>r some reason there
appears already to be a change back j
to the express companies on the part
of private shippers. It cannot be
said that the rumor referred to may
he traced back to responsible sources.
