As soon as Seward can promise
that return cargoes will be furnished,
San Francisco shipping men will
enter the Alaska field with their
steamers. This is the information
received at Seward recently from
L. L. James, secretary of the Seward
Chamber of Commerce, in a night
Mr. James reported that he had
interviewed wholsalers in San Fran
cisco and that they had enthusiastic
ally consented, in conjunction with
the San Francisco Chamber of Com
merce, to charter a steamer to tour '
Alaska visiting particularly Seward, |
as soon as the war conditions permit
securing a steamer without injuring .
the shipping program of the gov
ernment.
Mr. James told the San Francisco
wholesalers and the members of the
Chamber of Commerce there that
Seward would have a return cargo
of coal for their steamers by next
September. It is expected that be
fore that time the San Francisco
delegation will have paid a visit to
Seward.
The First Bank of Cordova has
decided to increase its capital stock
from $25,000 to $50,000.
Andrew Takkala, a well known
mining man and member of the Fin
nish society, was recently killed at
the perserverence mine by falling
rock during a cave in. He was a
single man, 47 years of age and had
been working with the Gastineau
company at various times since
1912. John Sorri was also badly
bruised during the cave in.

Location of Large Cache Near the

Work.
I To serve the needs of the many
head of stock that will be in use
(! during the period of active con
j j struction work on the povernment
|' railroad, a large feed cache has been
^established just across the Nenana
: | river from Residency 4 (43-mile).
: j The hauling of forage which has
: | been going on for some time past,
:: with several interruptions due to bad
:' weather, windstorms and drifted
: [ trails, is beoing continued daily,
; large loads being hauled in an effort
j to complete the alotment ere tne
i rapid thawing renders the trails un
1 fit for further use. Up to the end
‘ of last month 800 bales of hay had
been successfully hauled and cached,
! and the proper proportion of grain
| is now being sent out. On the train
j leaving this morning a shipment of
j 300 bags of oats went forward, con
I signed to the station at 20-mile,
i where it will be stored temporarily
j until hauled to its final destination
, at the 43-mile cache.
Feed caches on a smaller scale
j will be established at 20-mile, Resi
j dency 3 (35-mile) and Camp 18,
| located about seven miles beyond
Residency 3. Roomy and comfort
able corrals, with all necessary gear
and appurtenances for the care of
the stqck have already been estab
lished at these places.
The Roland stage left Fairbanks
for Nenana this morning with a
j large consignment of first and second
| class mail, consisting mostly of the
accumulation resulting from the
overflow at Millers early in the |
month.
The stage also has the mail that
reached Fairbanks yesterday, but it
is considered doubtful if he delayed
his departure sufficiently long to get
the shipment which reached Fair
banks today. This was an emer
gency shipment of second class mat
ter, weighing two thousand ponuds,
which was forwarded from Chitina
to clean up the mail accumulation j
at that point. c
The stage is due in Nenana to- j
mortow evening.

G. P. Goodman, a prominent;0
Yukon mining man, while on his' ^
way to the Tenakee Hot Springs, was ;
a Junealu visitor. He stated that!*2
the strength of the Yukon mining j ^
district would be measured by the ,"
output of the Mayo region. Be- 0
cause of the high price of labor and j a
materials the output of the mines | ^
last season was materially lessened
but the future mining is assured ia
and normal conditions will bring je:
a record in mining. Mayo is 150
miles from Dawson on the Stewart1 a
river. t
The freighters to Dime creek seem
to be about the only persons in
Alaska who are making big money
It is in fact stated that a man car
rying his pack on his back can make
almost as much per day at Dime
creek as he could packing over the
Chilkoot Pass in the early days.
In the short distance of six and
one-half miles the freighters are
clearing $80 per ton because the
trails are practically impassable on
account of the lack of snow
Many cannery employees are ar
riving in Alaska for the spring work.
A large pack is expected this year.
GOOD TIME AT
Full Attendance For the Firmt “Get
Together” Party Heid By
Member*.
A full attendance of members
were on hand last evening at the
Nenana club rooms, and enjoyed a
pleasant evening. Mr. Harold An
derson, chairman of the entertain
ment committee, made a few well
chosen remarks with reference to the
intention of the club to hold smokers
for the members at least twice a
month, and stated that the members
were all urged to attend these little
“get together" parties and have a
good time.
The chairman then introduced Mr.
Chas. Sellander as the first number
of the programe, and Mr. Sellander
favored the members with several
Hawaiian selections on his guitar and
attachment, that were very well re
vived by the audience. Following
Vlr. Sellander, Max Smith, accom
panied by Mr. Bandman on the
piano, sang a rollicking song of
lollege days, but as his repertoire
■vas limited, was unable to respond
;o the encores which were asked of
lim. The next number was Mr.
1. Hampton Miles, who recited sev
eral snappy pieces of poetry, and
lad to return to the platform and
five an exhibition of ventriloquism.

lington rendered several of Mark
["wain's humorous selections and told

amous, and with that number the
■ats were announced and the party j
idjourned to the billiard room,
vhere a classy spread was waiting
vith salads, sandwiches, etc., the way
hat “Dutch” does it.
Smokes were then passed around
ind the members were told to follow
heir own desires in the form of
imusement, the smoker breaking up
it about two o’clock.
