Tin* jieopleof Fairbanks, through

telegram:
“We have nearly 2.000 people
now in (his district. Our popula
tion is steadily increasing. The
commercial companies are ordering
supplies to winter s.tMX) people
next season.
“Stu b district is entitled to regu
lar mail service. Last fall we had
three months without mail. Next
spring we will he in the same pre
dicament. In the Yukon region
in the fall and spring this cannot
he avoided owing to the o|K*ning
and and elosing of the Yukon
river. From Valdez here the route
can he traveled very well any time
of the year. An average of forty
miles a day can he made if projier
relays are provided.
The people of this district peti
tion for a regular weekly mail ser
vice via Valdez the whole year
round. This summer a regular
water route may answer for second,
third and fourth class matter, hut
not for tirstclass mail.
“We urge immediate provision
he made to have Valdez mail come
regularly, weekly, uninterrupted.”
Signed, E. J. Bak.ket, Mayor,
Abk SeitiMi, City Att’y.

Chamber of Commerce.
At the chain Wr of mtiimcrcv
meeting on hist Friday night there
was a good representative gather
ing. The principal question of the
evening was the securing of a week
ly mail service between here and
Fairbanks. The necessity for the
same is thoroughly appreciated by
every one as the prime factor to
wards the development of the in
terior of Alaska, and the chamWr
was unanimous in their determina
tion to assist Fairbanks in getting
the same, especially as it has lieen
clearly demonstrated that mail can
W carried between Y’aldez and
Fairbanks in Hi days or less.
Before adjournment the retiring
secretary, Mr. E. A. Henderson,
was presented with a token of re
gard from the eliamWr for the effi
cient services rendered by him
while in otiiee. The presentation
was made by Judge (ioodell in a
very neat speech; the token con
sisted of a silk watch fob mounted
with a gold buckle one and five
eighths inches long and an inch
and a quarter wide. It is made of
about thirty small nuggets selected
from gold of the various diggings
tributary to Y’aldez. Across the
buckle is the design—Y'uldcz l'. of
C.—in raised letters also made of
nuggets. The buckle weighs fifteen
penny weights. As a pendant
charm is a Wnutiful nugget weigh
ing almut fourteen penny weights;
in it may he seen some of the rose
quart/, from which it came, and
which adds greatly to the beauty of
it. Taken as a whole it is without
a doubt the handsomest piece of
goldsmith work ever done in Y’al
dez. It was designed and made by
Tial YY’inters. of Kern's jewelry
store.
Good Reports.
In a letter from Fairbanks re
ceived by last mail are the follow
ing items a I tout the camp:
In about two years Fairbanks
will be the best place in Alaska.
At present there are no provisions
in the camp, and the restaurants
will all have to close Indore spring.
Money is scarce and everything is
running on a bedrock basis.
“There are good claims on Cleary
creek. Two claims on Chatham
are very good. Chatham is a trib
utary of Cleary. On Fairbanks
creek there is pay for four miles.
A friend rtf mine is drifting on
Cleary creek; the last three days
he worked he took out dirt averag
ing‘20 cents to the pan. He will
work all winter. There are 10 or
15 men working on Gold creek.
Pedro creek has several gitod claims.
There will lie plenty of money in
