IMPROVEMENTS
! ON TRAMWAY
I
No sooner had the Mutchler Bros
I obtained a lease of the Iditarod
| Flat tramway than they began to
1 make improvements along the per
manent way. They started two
1 gravel pits and put several men to
| work ballasting the track and fi 11
j ing in the bad places, with the re
; suit that the track is very much itn
\ proved. It is said that the total
expenditure in this direction has
been something in the neighbor
hood of $i ,coo.
' The Mutehlers have been build
ing and improving trails in the
North for 14 years, and it was only 1
the other week that Dave Mutchlei j
said he had quit that form of phi!- I
anthrop/. But it is trow clear he
was only joking.

SALMON PACK LARGER
THAN THAT LAST YEAR
The vanguard of the Alaska can- !
uery ships reached Puget sound the |
last week in August with a pack j
said to be nearly double that for !
the same period in r gr r. The
! amount totaled over a million and
■ a quarter cases, most of which was
| from Southwestern Alaska, where
there was a larger catch than usual
of king salmon off the Forest island
shoals Several individual packers
had catches in excess of 40,000
cases. The Alaska Packers Asso
ciation had the largest pack, with
725.000 cases.
The season 1912 will be a record
breaker for the Alaska fishing in
dustry.
KOYDKDK WAS FOR
JAMES WICKERSHAM
J. E. Beattie says that at the re
cent delegate election in the Koyu |
kuk James VViokersbaru received a
majority of the votes cast, although
it was not known that he was a
candidate until the last moment. j
A report had been circulated in
that precinct by interested parties!
that Delegate VVickersham was not j
a candidate for re election, and, I
being without telegraphic commun- |
icatiou with other camps, the Koy-1
ukukers could only accept the
statement as true. When Beattie
arrived there late in July he in
formed the residents that Wick was
certainly in the race, with the
above result.

MOVING THE
POSTOFFICE
A petition having been circulated
and signed extensively asking that
the Iditarod postoffice be removed
to a more central location, Post
master Thurston commenced the
woik of moving yesterday.
The site selected for the new
postoffice is the building formerly
occupied by the Central lodging
house, on Richmond street, be
tween First and Second avenues.
It is in every way a more suitable
location for the postoffice than the
old place was.
While heie Postoffice Inspector
T. J. Flavin purchased Billy Casey's
large safe for the use of the post
office. It is specially adapted for
postal purposes, being doubly pro
tected from burglars and fire by an
inner steel case, and duplicate
locks.
C’apt. and Mrs. Jack Green are leav
ing for the Outside on the 27th. They
will return in the spring.

MUTCHLERS PURCHASE
FLAT BLACKSMITH SHOP
Mutchler Bros. last week purchased
j Henry McDermott’s blacksmith shop
at Flat City, and Jake Mutchler will
| resume practice as the village black
| smith. Jake would like to do the thing
I properly and “go on Sunday to the
i church,” but unfortunately for him
| there aint no church now, and our on
| ly parson has gone to Gotham.
i Casper Ellinger came to town the
. first of the week to see Mrs. Ellinger
and their little son off for the Outside.
Tony Zuber is going to the Innoko
shortly.
Eaily this week Sam C. Adams
bought William Lang’s interest in
the Anaconda fraction and the
North Butte association, Flat creek,
for the sum of $1,510; and he now
owns the whole of those properties.
The Anaconda is a claim of about
15 acres, situated at the lower end
of the creek and adjoining the Mo
hawk association. The North
Butte is an eight-claim association,
and adjoins the Prospector associa
tion. Lang owned a quaiter in
terest in the first and an eighth in
the second Adams and Lang were
the original locators.
It is reported that the Yukon
Gold Company have been after the
ground for some time, but so far
have not been able to make terms
with the owner.
THESE TWO PEOPLE ARE MISSING
Mrs. R. W. Summers, of 5-11 Frank
lin street, Napa, California, writes for
information regarding L,. C. Waite,
who left Iditarod for Ruby in May,
1911, since which lime he has not been
beard from.
P. Van Valkenberg, of Otterville,
Ontario, Canada, is inquiring for his
son, S. J. Van Valkenberg, from whom
he has no heard for several months,
H. Snyder, ihe well-known painter
and paperhanger, has opened premises
on Willow street. He has a large sup
ply of high-grade wallpaper and other
decorating supplies, and those needing
work of that nature done should give
him a call.

MOST BID HIGHER
FOR THE FRACTION
| Captain Jack Green informs us
that the Yukon Gold Company j
turned down the option which they j
held on the Green fraction, Otter!
creek, but have expressed the wish I
to see him about the deal while'
Outside this fall. Mr. Green says]
that if the company want the prop- j
erty they will have to pay him;
twice as much as the option called]
for, as he finds he can get more
out of the ground byr leasing it. I
The ground runs $i to the foot and j
is easily worked.
It is also reported that the Yukon
Gold Company will make another
attempt to buy out Riley &, Mar
ston this winter, but in that crse
also, they are likely to meet with
a refusal to sell at the old figure.
INNOKO DIAL
i IS TALKED OF
i
The arrival in Iditarod of Gus Lindr
and Joe Van Abbena is said to be in
connection with a deal for ground on
Fox gulch, the tributary of Cripple
creek, Innoko, where good pay has
been proved to exist. '
While authentic details are lacking,
it is understood that Bennett James
and associates are considering the offer
of the owner to dispose of discovery,
Fox gulch, for $25,000, of which $4,000
is to be paid down, and the balance
next August.

Writing to Deputy Marshal J. R
Keiday under date of August 24.
Danny Bryce, of Bear creek, Tu
luksak, says that he and his part
ner, Pete, have got rich pay on the
benches, and so located that it R
an ideal mining proposition. They
have plenty of water on the ground.
Bryce’s partner has been pros
pecting on the bench since June S
last, and got pans as high as $1.07
At the time the letter was written
they were building a flume, and
expected to do a lot of sluicing be
fore the freezup.
Danny says it certainly looks
like a homestake.
A. E. Light, who left for tho Outside
last Tuesday, proposes to locate at
Seward.
According to a report received
from the lower Kuskokwim, sev
eral men who have been working
for Captain Anderson on the Tu
luksak this past summer have been
unable to get all the money that
was due them for work done, and
they have gone up to Georgetown
to file a lien on the property.
The report does not state why
the men were not paid, and it may
be that Anderson had not brought
sufficient money along to pay the
cost of development before produc
tive mining begins. As Anderson
is supposed to represent a big Out
side concern, it hardly seems possi.
hie that they could have come to
the end of their tether this early.
