\ able/, at 2 p. m. on 8th arrived at
Tonsina at 9 p. m. on the !>th. and
the mail passed through Copper
Center at 9:80 this morning.
\ aide/ will now have four regu
lar I mats a month, which will give
its a good mail service la-tween this
place, the States and other points
in Alaska. There has la-on some
discussion as to the relative sizes of
the steamers running here. The
hiue la»ok of the merchant vessels
of the l.. S.. gives the gross tonnage
as follows: Newport 881 tons. Ex
celsior 880. Bertha 920. and the
Santa Ana 12*>0 tons. The New
|a»rt will run la-tween Juneau and
Lnalaskaand the others la-tween

money raised by the Chamber of
Commerce for bridging the lake
stream, as a Imnus to l»e paid Mr.
K. Rudolph for making a road
from \ aide/ to the lake stream,
and running a ferry on the latter.
Mr. Rudolph offers to construct
bridges across the glacier streams,
make and keep in repair a road to
the lake stream, put in a ferry
there and cut a road from the ferry
to the government trail, which lie
will strike above No. 1, provided
the Chamber will pay him a Imnus
of $225. The ferry is to have a
capacity of five tons, and toll will
lie charged as follows: Men 25c,
horses 50c, team and wagon $1.00.

Hates rapids, on the Tanana, ar
rived here Wednesday afternoon
and are guests at the St. Elias.
Hoth Captain and Mrs. Bates
stood the trip well, and look more
as if they bad lieen on a pleasure
trip than mushing several hundred
miles over mountains and glaciers
with the thermometer from 10
almve to 40 below zero. (’apt. Bar
nett is on his way to the states to
purchase a steamer which will run
the rapids of the Tanana and he
says this can easily lie done. He
has a large supply of goods at his
trading post- and will take in much

tributaries of the river and are
finding good pay. Supplies are
selling at Hates rapids at Circle

District Court.
A decision in the Irwin-HurdJ
case was entered March 22, and
filed with the clerk of the district
court.
Judge Brown allows all the
claim* for labor, amounting to
a Unit $'>000 and makes these claims
alien on the “Billy” and “Flower
Bed” claims, the former Iteing on
Miller gulch and the latter on
Slate creek.
Mr. Clias. H. Kraemer is ap
poiuted receiver of all the gold
dust. Mr. Hurd is allowed to pay
out only enough dust for the actual
expenses, and allaUtve this amount
must Ik* turned over to Mr. Krae
mer, who will pay the claims al
lowed In*the court, in pro rata to
the amount due each jierson. If
these amounts are not paid bv Jan.
1, 1903, then the holders may fore
close on the property.
The claim of Receiver Alfred!
Wilkie, of $21 IK, still due him for!
last years work was cut down to!
$2S0,
This decision will certainly give
satisfaction, as it is just and equit
able, with the exception of the
claim allowed the ex-receiver Wil
kie.
Roberts-Date Case.
The plaintiffs in the case of Rob
erts vs. Date have been denied a
