FRANK MANLEY
BUYS PROPERTY
What Cheer Bar Company Sells All
its Holdings, Leases and Water
Rights to Fairbanks Operator.
The What Cheer Bar Mining Com
pany last week concluded a deal whereby
its extensive interests across the divide ;
were transferred to Frank Manley, of
Fairbanks.
The sale included twelve full and three
half claims on What Cheer Bar, valuable
water rights on Pioneer, and a lease on
Boothby creek.
Eighty thousand dollars is said to he
the price paid.
The transfer was made last Saturday.
Ben Baker was in town as Mr. Manley’s
representative in taking over the prop
erty. Work is proceeding both on the l
bar and on Boothby creek, with A1
Dalton as foreman. Boothby, especially,
is said to be showing up exceedingly
well.
It is believed Mr. Manley’s purchase
will stimulate prosjiecting across the
divide, and predictions are freely made
that an era of development is at hand .
for that section.
A wagon road is being opened from
Baker Hot Springs, and supplies for j
Mr. Manley’s ground will be forwarded
from there. The distance is given at
from 18 to 22 miles, and the route is ’
said to be over firm ground, with no j
bad hills in the entire distance.

THE ALASKA MAIL
X. H. Castle, in Council News.
The gleam and the glitter, the glisten and glow;
The shimmer and sheen of the sunshine-lit snow;
The trail crisp and crackling, and crumbling ’neath heel
That crunches its hardness, yet leaves not its seal.
Mush! Husky and inalamute! Keep to the trail!
They’re depending on us for the government mail!
What care we for blizzards, though it bluster and blow?
The “woolly” may whistle or wail in its woe!
O'er fast-frozen river, through overflowed creek,
O’er glare ice as smooth as your lady love’s cheek—
Mush! Husky amt inalamute! Keep to the trail!
They ’re depending on us for the government mail!
To some we bear tidings of sadness and sorrow,
And behind us must leave heavy hearts on the morrow;
Yet others rejoicing and others at rest,
Be it sighs, tears or laughter, they’re at our behest—
Mush! Husky and malamute! Keep to the trail!
They’re depending on us for the government mail!
From Cape Prince of Wales to Unalaklik,
From Candle to Council and down to Chinik,
From York, Nome and Safety to far Skagway,
And up the broad Yukon from Kotzebue bay—
Mush! Husky and malamute! Keep to the trail!
They 're depending on us for the government mail!
’Neath the rays white and fitful of the cold northern light,
Or the glare of the moon or the blackness of night,
Or the star-studded heavens, or sun-brightened sky,
We have hut one watchword—it’s “Get there or die!”
Mush! Husky and malamute! Keep to the trail!
They’re de]>ending on us for the government mail!
No danger must fright us, no obstacle stay,
In daylight or darkness, by night or by day;
Kisk safety, health, life, but beware lest you fail,
For rememlier, you’re carrying Uncle Sam’s mail—
Mush! Husky and malamute! Keep to the trail!
They're depending on us for the government mail!
The skin wait broken and there was a
