THE CHISaNA
MAIL QUESTION
The Chisana M ines letter to
Hon. Chase C. Gove.
J une 3, lOliG.
Hon. Chase C. Gove,
Washington, I). C.
Dear Gen oral Gove:
This Company is doing
extensive mining in the Wi.ite
River Mining District, for which
Chisana is the Post Office.
Up to the first of July the
mail for the Chisana Post Office
was sent in from McCarthy
once a month, and the mail con
tractor was Mr. Harry Hoyden,
a very competent and reliable
man, and he lias always made
good.
We are advi'sed that this
mail contract has been discon tin
ued. and the mail for the Clns
ana Post Office will be sent in
by anybody who will take it in
54'fatis from Gulkana. Of course
this is absured, and it means
that it will be months and
j months before we can get a
| lofter into our engineers and
employees, and get a letter out
jUnd it will be a great eonven
ience for all living in tiie Ids
trict, to renew tiiis eontrat*t.
We respectfully recomuiond
that a new contract be made
i tli Mr. Boy den to take the
mail in from McCarthy to Cnis
ana once a month, as heretofore,
jaiul we feel confident that Mr.
Bey den will meet the Govern
ment half way on any r- ason
ahie propositio .
Anything you can do to
help us and those interested m
the White liiver Mining Precin
ct will be appreciated — and
certainly we ought to be helped
on account of what we are doing
Very truly yours,
