Fred Barroffsky who is actively

ings extensive holdings arrived in
town yesterday after supplies.
Fred Harrison, the Marshal lawyer
is here on professional business, ile
says that things are much the same
on Willow creek. Some drilling is
being continued by Watson and Co.
on the lower end of Willow, but no
one knows what are the results. As
they are persisted in, it appears that
they are not wholly unfavorable.
The first clean up had been pulled
oft before ho left, and it amounted
to $29,000 for that claim, which was
not unfavorable.

It is an interesting sight to ob
serve tin- Nome harbor now filled
with important members of the mos
quito fleet and all held within the
river by reason of the low water on
the Snake river bar. The boats in
the river at present waiting for .
favorable t onditions of wind ami
tide are the Ram, the Jewel Guatd.
the Nokatak, the Aguilett, the Be
linda, the Sea Lion, the Standard.
The latter is already laden and is
waiting the first opportunity to slip
off its mooring lines and move out
of the stream for the Koyuk which
will be today in all probability.
The channel of the river mouth is
still swinging towards the city and
the row of piling which formerly
marked the eastern bank now lines
the western bank of the stream
while away out where formerly was j
the mouth there is now quite an ex- j
tensive sand spit.

up as Nome did long ago. An ar
rival on the Silver Wave dilates at
length upon the special features of
the mystery and the story is of in
terest. “Theoretically we have a
once a week mail service, hut as
it consists of about a mail sack at
a time, what they do with the ba
lance we do not know. It's an A.
Y. N. contract and that's too sacred
for the general public to criticize
anyway,” said an arrival upon the
Silver Wave front Marshal camp.
“We have a once a month mail ser
vice in the winter time and Christi
anson agreed to take mail along on
15th and 1st of each month with
his other freighting front St. Mi
chaels for fl50 which we raised
by voluntary subscription. The post
master at St. Michaels had before
that sent the mail regularly by
everyone who came to Marshal and
in cotiso'iuence we got mail regular
ly and pretty often at that. But
when Christiansen showed hint his
contract with its lie refused to turn
over tie mail pending orders. Ran
dall the mail clerk at Tatiana was
the postal genius referred to by the
p. M. at St. Michaels and he re
plied referring the latter to section
something paragraph number some
thing wherein it was provided that
no private contractor could compete
with the government man. That
killed Hie Christiansen contract for
the time being while we referred to
Washington and an order came
down to send the mail by the pri
vate carrier. That was in March
however when it was too late. We
had a mail on 22 May and another
on the 22nd of June and it con
sists since of a sack now and then,
it comes down, not up the river
and what is done with it goodness
i knows. Ever heard of the man

■ tried to make water run up hill? It
I was a sane proposition compared to
the mail clerk's action with regard

j and what left on June 20 will he in

could have sent out ou the regular
i boats and which lias reached its
I destination a week ago, is now land
j ing outside from Skagway after an
endless delay. Why the government
I should snip the Marshal mail up the
river instead of down to St. Mike's
is certainly one that some explana
tion should be offered. But then
the entire Alaska mail service, is,
was and likely will continue to he a
huge joke”.
