sixty sacks of mail for the Anchci
eye postoihee, which c ntainc.i the
largest letter mail ever recoilea in
one dispatch at this office. Postmas
ter Wood and assistants started
'• .irk on the mail at a o'clock this

delivery of all mail at :i p. in., and
the usual lack of space for the ac
commodation of the public was still

abound th, Hope and Sunris** mining
e’stricts, i in Anchorage, nrii»<ng
on the M.t.’tcsa. Mr. Jett h.is re

. resting cipitai in his big dredging
proposition on East Pork, near K —
nai. He is the holder of some 1,200

The little flurry among the steve
dores and the steamship ca npany
is all right; so said M»sors. Charlts
Peters and Jack Sutherland. It
sec-ms that the longshoremen, four
teen in number, were employed by
tne steamship company through the
Commission, and .demanded time
from the time they left the dock

'•xpeet to be open for business one
day next wek. Mr. and Mrs. Strye
were forced to remain in Seattle
twenty Three days in order to get
passage on an Anchorage-bound
steamer, so great is the demand for
passenger accommodations for An
chorage. Inquiry at the office of the
Admiral line developed the fact that
ail passenger space is taken until
August. Mrs. Strye is a sister of
William Logemann of the mechan
ical department of the Pioneer. She
xas accompanied by Richard Loge
mann, the seven-year-old son of Mr.
Logemann.
He was a miner, a sourdough
fresh from the interior, but he wore
a sunit of new store clothes. He said
he was going to take the steamer
Mariposa for the great outside and j
was down in Commission town to
see the trains, hear the engine whis
tle and feel once more the delight
ful sensation of cinders crawling
down his back and generally get an
idea of what real life was like be
fore entering into the turmoil of
Seward and Seattle. In this he was
disappointed- and agreeably so, as
he had no idea of the magnitude of
the work being done by the Com
mission, the number of men working
at all kinds of different work, the
new store room, office buildings, the
grading of the streets, sewer work,
the activity at the dock, the freight
that was being handled, in fact the
general air of push and vigor and
work accomplished was a revelation.
He spoke particularly of the cour- a
tesy extended him on every hand and -
made the remark that he would be
compelled to stop over in Seward to
get an idea of country life.
