THE LAST STRAW
The Chisana district is admit
tedly ihe most inaccessible plan
er diseo\ery ever made in Alas
ka.
Since the James and Nelson
discovery this camp has produc
ed over half a million in gold,the
present yearly output is over
$50,(XX).
Nothing permanent was ever
done to give this district any
methed of getting in supplies.
Miners and operators have paid
from 25 cents to $1.25 a pound
for their freight.
These people never have had
an adequate mail service. During
the past year both incoming and
outgoing mail was carried by the
courtesy of the packers.
There is a resident population
of from 50 to 60 in winter and
and over 150 in summer.
And now the Post Office at
Chisana is to be discontinued.
Why was this office discontin
ued?
It cannot be with the idea of
retrenchment, for it never cost
the government a cent.
Who is to blame? Another
