S WARD IS OPEN
THE YEAR ROUND
TO ALL TRAFFIC
Anchorage closes on November 1st to commerce, both
passenger and freight, but Seward keeps open the year
round.
This is no boast, no attempt at being facetious, but a
plain statement of fact.
. This fact did not originate in Seward.
' It is known in Seward that Anchorage is only an open
port part of the year, but afraid that some misguided
party or parties might misconstrue this as a “slam,” which
is not intended, the following is taken from the Anchor
age Weekly Times of September 26th.
The item is not taken and reprinted for any other
purpose other than to inform parties in Seward and other
places, especially the great United States, that after No
vember 1st, passengers and freight cannot be landed at
Anchorage because that port is frozen up solid. There is
no chance to get there except by way of Seward. If one
has any scruples about the truth of the statement, read
the following, as reprinted from the Anchorage Weekly
Tiraes: ,
Formal notice has been given to the agents here of
the Pacific and Alaska Steamship companies by the Alas
kan Engineering conupission that by November 1 it plans
to have in winter quarters its lighters, steam tugs and
other harbor equipment and that as a consequence, after
that date, it will not be able to handle the cargoes of in
coming ships. Passengers, however, the commission de
clares, probably can be handled until November 15. How
ever, it is expected that water transportation between
here and the States will cease November 1, as steamships
will not come here for passengers only. The text of the
commission’s notice follows:
Text of Notice
“The Alaskan Engineering comntission is desirous of
putting its lighters, steam tugs and other harbor equip
ment in winter quarters on or before November 1, and
for that purpose notice is hereby served on your company
that the schedule of steamships should be so arranged and
to avoid discharge of any cargo after November 1.
"Passengers could probably be handled as late as No
vember 15.
“Will you kindly notify your Seattle offices, as well
as various merchants in Anchorage and vicinity interest
ed in this matter, so that full opportunity will be accorded
everyone to place their orders for winter supplies.”
SHORTAGE OF
MEN NOTICED
IN INTERIOR
Territorial Mine Inspector Wliliam
Maloney has hied a report in the of
fice of the governor reviewing the
mining situation in the Interior.
Inspector Maloney has been exam
ining conditions in the Interior and re
ports that the Tanana camps are
somewhat handicapped in output,
mainly on account of the shortage of
men. He says that this shortage is
quite striking, many men preferring
to work for the government railroad,
although employed for less pay. Prob
ably the harder work underground
may account for this. Inspector Ma
loney did not think that the fact that
men working for the government
where sure of their pay while work
ing for Tanana operators they feared
for “time check” payments had any
thing seriously to do with this condi
tion. He said that some of the op
erators who were advertising for men
had plenty of money available for
wage payments and all contingent
mining expenses, being fully responsi
ble parties in every way. It may have
affected some of the employers. The
Tolovana would be a considerable pro
A Through Ticket
Via
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Ry.
WHY
By buying a through ticket you save from $10.00 to
$15.00 as against buying to Seattle and re-buying
there.
By buying over the C., M. & St. P. Ry. you are as
sured the comfort that comes from riding behind an
electric locomotive — the most powerful in all the
world—and that personal attention which is a fea
ture of “Milwaukee” service.
For tickets, berth reservation and other particulars,
consult your nearest Steamship Agent.

ducer, possibly close to a million would
be the figure. At that the cost of}
operations and the heavy contingent
expenses involved made it unlikqly
that a very great amount of this would
remain in the operators’ pockets. The
output for Ruby would about equal
that of last year. The fact that on
Long production might not be as
great was counterbalanced by the fact
that on Poorman and other creeks it
would be much larger. The pay was
picked up on the lower channels of
Willow creek in the Marshall section
and in consequence a spirit of optim
ism prevailed. Mr. Maloney will now i
make an inspection of the camps trib
utary to Nome before returning to
his headquarters at Juneau.
