IS A BUSY PLACE
The people of Anchorage li'.* 3
realize the vast amount of mail that
has passed through tho Anchorage
postoflice within the past few days,
especially from tho time the steamer
Farragut cast anchor to the arrival
of the Alaska. But the . following
data is more for Seward and tho out
side world, as tho people of Anchor
age are naturally an observing and
appreciative one.
During the space of three days the
Farragut brought approximately 500
sacks and the Alaska 50 sacks of
mail; the Farragut mail was put on'
barge at 11:30 p. m. Tuesday, April
25th, and docked at 1 a. m. Wednes. <
day morning, and, to give some idea
of tho enormity of 500 sacks of mail,
it took six hours to deliver this mail
from the dock to tho Anchorage
postoflice; the last load reaching the
olliee at 0 a. m., at 1 o’clock p. m.
the office was ready for delivery of
the first-class mail matter, certainly
a short time in which to distribute,
enter, register and otherwise handle
this amount of mail. The parcel
post paekeages and second class mat
ter immediately followed.
The Alaska whistled into Anchor
age at 3; 10 the morning of the 29th,
and at 12 m. of the same day all
mail was ready for delivery.
When it is taken into consideration
our present postoflice building is en
tirely inadequate for the accommo
dation of its patrons oven on ordi
nary days, there being no individual
or company boxes, and the small
lobby, at this time, during the late
unpleasantness, and being the ar
rival of the first mail by steamer it
was especially conspicuous by the
small place in which to work the
mail and for tho patrons.
During this rush ttie Anchorage
postoflice carried on the usual rou-.
t;ne of business, such as making and
cashing money orders (business of
this department alone was on the
basis of nearly $50,000 per month,
stamps,envelopes and generally wait
ing on the cosmopolitan patronage,
further the oliice was open every
day three to eight hours, and An
chorage citizens were able to receive
and send mail on the same steamer.
Owing to the late strike it is esti
mated that at least 5,000 people
called for mail during this time, and
there were no complaints, no trouble
and no dissension. The people of
Anchorage and community are to be
congratulated with the appointment
of F. B. Wood as their postmaster,
and feel that Mr. Wood and his four
able assistants are entitled to great
praise and credit, not alone for the
etliceint and expedient manner in
which they handled the Farragut
and Alaska mail, but also for tho
every-day courtesy and considera
tion they meet the people of Anchor
age as patrons of this office.
NOTICE TO BUSINESS MEN.
We havo for sale several going
concerns. One up-to-date stock ol
groceries; invoice about fifteen hun
dred dollars, with building for lease,
and one of several thousand.
Also one of the best restaurants
in the city. And a third interest in
a restaurant that is now making
good money.
This is a chance for a man with
small capital to make better than
$10 per day.

NEW- STRIKE IN THE
YUKON TERRITORY
Valdez Prospector.
A new placer ttrike has been made
on Nelson creek^a tributary of Mayo
lake, in the upper Stewart river dis
trict, and a bi» stafnpede has been
on to the p.ace for the last several
weeks. The latest news of the
strike and the stampede Is brought
by Rev. Frank H. Buck, of the An
gellcan church, who Is just back
from a trip to the Mayo country.
Chester A. Thomas, who was In the
district recently, also confirms the
news of the discovery and the stam
pede. The creek is said to be 15 to
30 miles long, and at last accounts,
when Mr. Buck left Minto bridge,
forty to fifty claims were known to
have been staked, and more were
still on their way there to plant their
posts. The creek on discovery was
ibout six feet to bedrock, and a sum
mer proposition. The discoverers
tot 20 cents in gold to 16 pans. The
best pan wont 1 iOcents.
Mr. Thomas heard that the creek
was 30 miles long. Mr. Buck heard
it “was 12 to 15 miles long. Accord
ing to all reports, the creek is well
wooded, and if there is any extent of
pay it affords fine opportunities for
work. Several outfits are prospect
ing on the creek.
