I
A shipment of first class mail
reached Fairbanks yesterday evening
from the coast, and it is considered
likely that Nenana’s share of it will
be sent down river on the steamer
Carl White, which was scheduled to
leave Fairbanks at noon today for
the Tolovana.
Should it not be despatched on
the steamer, the Douse launch Vic
tory will bring it down tomorrow.
