ALASKA NOTES
Culled From the Newspapers
Of the Territory.
The Postoffice Department
has consented to give an air
mail service on Oct. 15th
from Fairbanks to Fort Yu
kon.
Commencing Sept. 22 the
laborers employed in complet
ing certain work around the
new Federal building at Ju
neau receive $4.25 per day.
An Assistant Postmaster
General advises that a month
ly service had been author
ized to Sleetmut during the
winter period of each year, ef
fective Nov. 1
Over a year ago A. Hughes,
of Anchorage, lost his per
sonal effects in a fire that de
stroyed a section house on the
Alaska Railroad. Altho the
loss was several hundred dol
lars the law only allows re
covery of $100, which Mr.
Hughes is about to receive.
A post office has been es
tablished at Kwiguk, about 25
miles northwest of Akulurak
on Norton Sound, and it is ex
pected that W. F. O’Conner
will soon be commissioned as
postmaster.
Alaska Chambers of Com
merce are sending in resolu
tions to the Delegate asking
him to support the Memorial
passed by the last Legislature
and try to secure 50% of the
amount received by the Unit
ed States from its share in the
operations in the seal fisher
ies of the Pribilof Island, for
the Territory. The Delegate is
heartily in favor of trying to
secure this revenue for the
Territorial treasury.
The Forestry service at Ju
neau has advised the Delegate
that it is inadvisable at the
present time to project any
funds for the construction of
the projected bridge across
Gastineau Channel, between
Juneau and Douglas. It may be
advisable to wait for the Alas
ka Juneau Mining Company to
make a decision regarding
their future development act
ivities.
As the contractor for the
clearing, grubbing, etc., of the
site of the new government
Indian school building at Shoe
maker Bay, near Wrangell,
had to turn the work over to
his bondsmen there was a de
lay in the completion of this
work and the penalty imposed
amounts to $1,500. An effort
has been made to have this
sum remitted, which is under
consideration by the Comptrol
ler General.
Both the Department of
Commerce and the Depart
ment of the Interior have fur
nished much information re
garding the general output of
chromite, its market price, per
centage used in the United
States, etc. The Delegate is
interested in having this ore
produced and shipped from
Kenai peninsula to the East
ern coast of the United States,
and is endeavoring to get such
facts as will encourage Whit
ney and Lass to start shipping
this ore from their large de
posits on the Peninsula.
