BENEFITTEB BI
Seattle, February 1, Hllfi.
The Cordova Hally Times,
Cordova, Alaska.
Gentlemen: — We understand tlial
it is not generally known among the
Alaska miners that the differential
charges, formerly in force at the Se
attle assay office, have been removed
and placed on the same basis as at
other C. S. assay offices and mints.
With these charges removed, thf
Seattle assay office affords the Alas
ka miner a saving on hTs gold dust
shipments equal to the extra cost ol
transportation from Seattle to othei
assay offices and mints, together with
a saving in time and resulting inter
est charges.
These conditions are fully set forth
in the enclosed copy of letter from
Mr. .1. W. Phillips, assayer in charge
of the government assay office at Se
attic. Can we request that you give
Mr Phillips' letter as wide publicity
ns possible, and greatly oblige. Yours
very truly,
ALASKA BUREAU,
.1. L. McPherson, Manager.
Mr. J. L. McPherson, Manager,
Alaska Bureau. Seattle Chamber of
Commerce. Seattle, Wash.
Dear Sir: — Your letter of inquiry
defines a strange lack of information
that has, for the past two years,
worked to the disadvantage of the
Alaska miners; possibly due to a mis
| understanding as to the modified
I charges now in force at the Seattle
assay office.
Two orders of the director of the
U. S. mint, dated June it. 1018, and art
other of November 80. 1014, abolished
the so-called “differential charge of
one-eighth of one per cent, equal to
$1.25 per each $1,000.” previously in
force at the U. S. assay office in Se
attle.
Charges at Seattle were then ad
justed with, and now are, on the same
basis as the present charges at the
jU. S. mints at Philadelphia. Denver
land San Francnseo.
The Seattle assay office is from
800 to 1,000 miles nearer to Alaska
than any other IT. S. government pur
chasing agency; and Alaskans deposit
ing gold in Seattle can save from twe
to four days required to ship a thou
sand miles farther, and secure pay
meet therefor; also, there will be c
saving in transportation charges, tliar
if the gold were shipped elsewhere.
In payment for deposits of gold al
. the Seattle assay office the govern
1 merit furnishes no cash, but onlr
I checks to be issued by the assayer lr
S charge, drawn on the IT. S. treasurei
at Washington city. Said checks maj
j be cashed in any of the IT. S. sub
treasuries, or at the active U. S. de
pository banks.
If the Alaskan shipper of gold sends
a written request for currency to b<
sent to him in Alaska, less cost of in
surance and transportation, the as
sayer in charge draws a check so thai
it will be cashed by one of the loca
U. S. depository banks, which wit
send the necessary currency at risk ol
the Alaskan owner, after securing full
insurance against loss of the money
The cost of said insurance and all ex
press charges, or cost of postage ant
registration will first he deducted by
4 ,
said bank.
There Is another way by which the
Alaskan shipper may secure currency;
by the use of one or several U. S
postal orders, purchased, by the as
sayer in charg,. of the Seattle post
office at a cost of 30 cents tier hun
dred dollars, and drawn and mailed
as directed by the Alaskan dopositoi
of gold, then, IJ. S. currency or silver
I coin may be secured at any of the
sixty-four (641 U. S. money order
post offices in Alaska. The cost ol
securing the money orders, the post
age and ten cents register stamp be
ing first deducted by the Seattle post
office when issuing the said orders
and also furnishing the necessary
start) ps.
This office was established to aid
In developing Alaska. Sincerely yours
JOHN W. PHILLIPS,
Assayer .in Churge.

PINS IIS FAITH
IN 'S
FUTURE
A. .1. Adams is one of the heavy
property owners of Cordova. He was
j one of fhe original townsite owners,
and has never lost faith In the place.
He and Mrs. Adains are returning
passengers on the Kvans, having been
in California for several months taking
the sights and enjoying the southern
air.
It was this same Mr. Adams, who.
when the citizens of Cordova marched
down tp tlie wharf in a body and be
gan shoveling Canadian coal into the
bay, and were stopped bv the federal
officials, jumped up on top of one of
the foreign coal ships and shouted:
"Shovel coal, hoys; shovel coal."
The men obeyed, and the officers
threatened. Mr. Adams was president
of the Chamber of Commerce at the
time, but didn't care a tinker's dash
for the dignity of the position, In the
face of what Pincliot and his garTg
were then doing to force thp people of
Vlaska to buy outside coal.
Mr. Adams, when seen last evening,
stated that there was substantial rea
son for believing ttiat Cordova would
realize its destiny for a large city. He
said business conditions there were
already picking up, and that without
doubt the railroad would be soon ex
tended to the coal fields and a smelter
established at Cordova.
“We have reached rock bottom." be
said, "and you can make up your mind
that the city will go ahead from this
time on. I would not trade, my Cor
dova property today for an equal
amount of property in Seward, and I
do not even except Juneau." Juneau
