Large Amount
Incoming Freight
Receipts of Freight for Interior Points
At Skagway Double Those of Last
Year—Much Machinery Coming—
From the Skagway Alaskan.
SKAGWAY, June 14.—Never in the
history of Skagway has there been such
a quantity of freight discharged here
as this year. The customs records show
that more than twice as much freight
arrived at Skagway for shipment to
’ the interior in May of this year than.
in May of last year, and during the
first 12 days of this month the incom
ing tonnage was greater than that fee
ail the month of June, 1904. The ad
vices from the south are to the effect
that the second half of the present
month will witness the arrival here of
still greater quantities of goods for the
interior.
Much of the incoming cargoes are
made up of mining machinery, more of
which is coming north this year than
ever came before. It consists of great
hydraulic plants for Atlin, the Klonriilca
and the American Yukon, and.of small
er plants for ail of these districts.
There has been a great increase in
theshipments of live stook also. This
is on account of the greater demand by
the increased population of the Tanana
district and other sections of the lower
Yukon.
The increase in the shipments to the
north is not confined to the demand of
any one section. More merchandise is
being sent to both the American Yu
kon and the Klondike thanever before
has been the case. The percentage of
the growth of the lower Yukon trade
is larger than the Klondike, bat the
latter remains the greatest consumer
of the north.
, The White Pass is being forced to
keep more rolling stock moving than
ever before at this season of the year.
