PLENTY OF LUMBER
Will Soon be on the Market. Big
Orders Coming.

The lumber famine will soon he
over and the market will be flooded
with building material of all kinds.
The saw mill now has 10000 feet
Of logs that will soon be made into
lumber.
The Santa Ana and Bertha will
have about 125.OOO feet each. The
Ruby Cousins will be here in a few
weeks with a full cargo. Ruther-
ford and Larson have chartered the
Newsboy to bring in a cargo of
lumber, and Mr.. Linden, formerly
purser of the Bertha, announces
that he will send up a schooner
load of lumber in he near future.
Building has been retarded here
the past two months, on account of
scarcity OF lumber, and now that
the winter season has arrived. when
but little building can be carried on,
there will he IA large supply of ma
terial. However, when spring ar
rives there will be everything need
full i'm the market for the building
boom which will surely follow.

Enlarge Saw Mill.

The saw mill will close down for
repairs as soon as they can saw the
10000 feet of logs that they now
have on hand.
1t is the intention of Capt. Rob-
inson to enlarge the capacity of the
mill SO that they can turn out
25,0OO feet of lumber a day. In
order TO do this they will put in
new engines and boilers, saws, pla-
ners and everything necessary to
the completion of first class mill.
1t is expected that the mill will
he ready for operation by the first
of r xt April.

In From Elliott Creek.

Mcsscrs. Hubbard and Elliot. ac-
c'mpanicd 10y Geo. G. Treat. ar
rived Saturday afternoon from
their properties on Elliott creek, in
the kotsina country. Mr.. Hub
bard left here about the first oi
Sept. for Elliott creek, to post the
official papers calling for patents
ON number of their properties.
We are informed that there has
been more actual development
work on these properties than any
other in this section OF the country.
In every case the ore bodies have
proven To be not only extensive,
but eighty per cent are true fisSurc
veins. the ore being of the same
richness as on the surface.
They report the location of many
new and valuable locations this
season. Mr.. Treat and :. ID. Huh
bard located one claim OF very fine
copper glance ore, which carries a
high percentage Of silver. They
also located number OF other
properties of bornite ores. Last
year there were twenty-five claims
on Elliott creek; this year has xd-
vanced the total to tifty-four. all
within radius of five miles.
This creek makes one oi the most
ideal mining propositions in Alas
XII, for the ease with which the ore
may he handled (entirely by grav-
ity if dcsired) the great quantity
oi water power available; millions
OF feet of the best mining timber in
close proximity to the mines. and
lastly the ease OF reaching the prop
critics by railroad.
The source of Elliott creek il dis
tant from Copper river approxi-
mately Is miles. and from Valdez
l30 miles. This brings an mex
haustable supply OF the highest
grade of copper ore almost at the
door of Valdez.

ORGANIZED TO OPERATE IN
ALASKA.
Will Bond Property
And Develop any Large Low Grade
Propositions in this
Section

a new and rich corporation has
been organized in Seattle and will
commence operations in Alaska in
the early spring. This company
is known as the Alaska Pacific
Transportation d. Coal Co., and its
aim is to purchase and develop
gold, copper and coal properties,
and do general transportation
business.
The capital of the new organiza-
ton is $4,000, 600, of which amount
VI 100000 is fully paid in. Mr.. r.
Onffroy. the organizer and general
secretary and a director of the
Pacific Packing Il Navigation CO.,
Is the president and treasurer Of
the new company, and from what
is known Of his former business
operations and associations, there
is no doubt that Mr.. Onffroy will
make signal success oi She Pacific
Alaska company.
This company has already pur
chased the new and extensive coal
nines located on the Alaska penin-
sula at Portage bay. The mines
are on .he north side OF the penin-
sula, but there is IL low, short port
age here where the coal can easily
he brought to Portage bay and this
will be done. The coal is said to
he of very fine quality, being the
best found at any place along the
Alaska coast, and there are very
large deposits OF it. All steamers
plying along the southern coast he
tween Seattle and Nome can stop
at Portage bay without going
very far out of their reg
ular course, but it is the in
tention of Mr.. Onffroy to put on
a line of freight steamers, and es-
tablish Il coaling station on one o.
the Aleutian islands, SO that all
vessels, whether going to or coming
from Nome or the Orient. can secure
all the coal needed, and the coal
will also be shipped to Seattle and
San Francisco.
The company has also secured
some valuable gold quartz mines
near Unga, and near St. Michael
has purchased what they believe to
be the richest silver and lead mines
in this country. The ore is almost
pure silver and lead.
Mr.. Onffroy, with HE son and
twelve assistants, including survey
ors and engineers. have visited
these properties during the past
summer. and are most enthusiastic
over their prospects and Me great
resources OF this country.
The new company will not coh-
fine their operations to any one
point in Alaska, but will purchase
and develop property wherever
they can secure it. They have a
representative here in the person
of Mr.. II. NJ. Dean who will bond
properly either in the interior or
on the Sound.

THE LOWER YUKON NAIL IN
% Over Valdez Route
First Mail for Nome Passes Over
the Al1-American
Trail.

INV ukoh hdii ie1t ytrterdhy
with 100 pounds oi Nome mail,
the first to hr sen, over thi. route.
Those in charge of tho mail were
NJ. +. Dennison. Guy Bxnta. =. J.
Decker and John Tietjen. Oscar
Fish also accompanied the party,
hut will return with the incoming
mail.
The department intends to try
this route with the through mail
and il all goes we'll the larger part
Of the Nome mail will come this
way. This will mean weekly trips
from here to Eagle and improved
service between here and Seattle.
The P. l.. Of recent date gives the
following description OF the winter
mail service for Alaska:
An approximately accurate &C.
count OF the winter mail service to
and from Alaska can be. given thus
early. though formal detailed in
Structi"n. regarding the ma ter ara
yet forthcoming from Ii. p. Thrall,
superintendent OF the Eighth Unit
ed States mail divi-ion. with head
quarters in San Francisco, who ha.
the general direction and ru-
perintendency OF the Alaska mail
service.
The probabilities are that mail
will come from and he despatched
to Nome this winter by four differ
ent routes. These are known A.
the all-Yukon, the Yukon Copper
river. Hanna and katmai routes.
The all Yukon this year. az last.
doubtless will be route over which
the bulk of the Nome and st Mich
ael mail IL to be carried. The all
Yukon route lies from st Michael
up the mighty river to Dawlon. on
to the headwaters and across to
Skagway. from which point it is
conveyed on Lynn canal liners to
Seattle, the inbound mail taking
the same course. The Yukon-Cop-
per river route contemplates the
carrying the mail from st. Michael
and Nome to Eagle City, and thence
through the Copper river valley to
Valdez, where it will be put aboard
vessels plying between this and
that port.
The katmai and Hanna routes
are practically one and the same.
Both katnai and llliamns are Alas
ka peninsula points. The mail
for Nome leaves one or another OF
these ports, being carried overland
to Bethel mission, to the Yukon
and on to st. Michael and Nome,
the route from Nome and st.
Michael being the same. Last
year one regular mail was received
from Nome via the katmai route.
The Transalaska Campsny. found
ers of the Iliamna- Nome trail. had
a contract. 1t carried u consign-
ment of mail both ways during the
season,but could scarcely he credit
ed with a continuous delivery.
The first mail 10 arrive from
Nome last winter reached Seattle
via the all Yukon route February
2nd, having left Nome on Nov. Ii.
Mail fom this port to the North ar-
rived at Nome in January. Pri-
vate mail advices from the district
were at hand from Nome earlier,
and private mail reached that des-
tination from Seattle toward the
close of December.
