DAILY MAIL
Nov m nt to Incrpasr Skag-
 way-H ines S' ryi:e.

A movement will be inaugurated at once to secure a daily mail service be- tween Skagway and Haines. A peti. ton will be prepared and circulated among the business men of Skagway today or Monday. It is said that such a petition will meet with the approval of Inspector F. R. Stivers and Postmas- ter Sampson. Should the government make a contract to that end, the vira Rial would be kept on regular daily schedule during the entire summer. This would bring Skagway and Haines closer together then they have ever been before, and would serve those of both towns.

This will be one of Ihe best years the
 Northern country has ever seen, if the observations ofGeneroi Manager A. B. Newell. of the White Pass, count for anything. Mir Newell is in skagway,
 after an absence of six months. During that time he visited his old home in Chicago. and New York, Washington, Ottawa, Montreal and other Eastern points. He at one time thought of zoe ing to London, but could not do so on account of lack of time. In speaking of the outlook for the season Of 1903,
 Mir. Newell said:
 "Wc are looking for a good years bu,ines, for the North. think it will be, at least as good for the railroad

PROSPEROUS YEAR AHEAD
 FOR ALASKA
General Manager A. B, Newell Is Encourag-
 ed By Outlook for the Great North, Big Tourist Travel Coming

'I confidently expect a much larger tourist travel this year than ever be- fore. understand that the Spokane has sold an her accommodations for the summer already, and that other com panies are making bookings. Another feature of this tourist travel this year that will be favorable, from an Alaskan standpoint is the number who will re- main over at Skagway and make trips into the interior to Atin or Dawson or both.
 "The growth and development Of the Atin country is going to have a great deal to do in keeping up the business of the North"
 Mir. Newell zoe, to Whitchorse today for a few days He will go over the line and look ntothings carefully, after  which he will return to Vancouver and come up for the season later in the spring.
 Mr. Newell says it is thc intention Of the railroad company to improve the line between Skagway and Whitchorse this summer Among the first things that will be begun will be the two steel bridge, that are Co be built between Glacier and the tunnel These will be constructed by the Puget Sound Bridge & Dredging Company This i, the same concern that built thc big steel bridge at the ,witchback.

I've Nails Fhat Held Il Were Made
s BY Hand.

Probably one Of the most interesting
relies on exhibition in this city can
be found Al the Emporium, 1t con-
sists Of q couple Of spikes, but there
is history attached that makes them
OF some value.
They came from the first house
built in Nevada. Theremains of the old
place are situated in Genoa, and wss
built by the first Mormon Immigrants
who came to the territory. They loca-
ted building site, but when it came
to construction they were stuck for
the want OF nails. Henry VanSickls,
who was blacksmith, and who was
to make nails for the staying of the
timbers, he to receive ten cents per
nail for each one he turned out. He
went to work at the forge and the re-
suit was he worked up all the scrap
iron in the district into spikes, t1r
that is what they are. They are SUD-
stantial looking affairs and in spite
of the fact that they served their pur.
pose for about fifty years, are yet
pretty good looking articles.
In the Emporium window there &
a, picture of the house which was
erected by the Mormons This picture
was taken by Jas. Yerington, who will
place it in the Nevada exhibit at s..
Louis. Just how the old building has
been allowed to stand all these years
is hard to state, while improvements
have gone on at every side. 1t is ont
of the few landmarks that has with
stood the ambition Of man and the
effects of the elements.

n BUSY SEASON.
Saw Mills in the Mountains Taxed to
Their Capacity.

The saw mills ON this side of III =
mountains, or rather the summit Ct
the Sierras, have been taxed to their
utmost capacity this season in furnish
ing lumber for the building that has
gone on in. Nevada and the adjoining
country. Never in the history OF the
saw mills has there been such 3e-
mand for lumber, and never has there
been SO much sold to the market.
Probably the greatest producer mas
been the Hobart Mills. The entire sea-
son has been one of move and hustle.
The men have worked overtime in a.
der to supply the demand, and in spite
Of this fact there are orders so far
ahead, that the mill people will not
| promise the delivery of even a car
load of material. The fact that there
| has not been any bad weather to in.
| terfere with the operations, has at
lowed a great production, but today
there is not pile Of lumber on the
ground that would hide man.
Recently an order for several mil
lion ties was received by the company
| and the order had to be declined, As
/ there was too much work ahead that
had been promised to allow the filling
of the order for the railroad.
The Truckee mill was in the SAME
condition The mill was crowded to
it's capacity in order to furnish con
tract orders, and by the burning Ct
the mill great loss was sustained
At Boca and Legation the same con
ditlon exists. Every mill is being run
to it's full capacity, and yet the De
mand is beyond the production. while
the price of lumber of every descrip
ton is higher today than It has been
in many years. The work in Mohawk
| valley is of the same nature, and the
people who wondered what kept that
| section booming, can easily under.
| stand when they remember the amount
| of timber they saw and the mills that
/ are in the course OF erection. At the
present time the lumber business is
one of the live industries of the coast
| and the promise for a continuance
J is exceedingly good.

TO MOVE THE MILL.
Old Glenbrook Saw Mill Will Operate
at Truckee.


The old Glenbrook saw mill, si.n-
ated at Glenbrook, the property of
the Carson and Tahoe Lumber and
Flume Company, has been purchased
by the Truckee Mill Company, and
work of tearing the old building down
will commence next week. 1t was only
a few days ago that the Truckee mill
was destroyed by fire, which necess:-
tates the building Of new one, and
as the timbers of the old mill are in
excellent order and will save time il
framing, the purchase of the old mill
comes in about right.
The machinery was taken out some
years ago and moved to Carriers, Cal,
where it is now in operation
The Glenbrook mill has probably
turned out more lumber than any mill
In Nevada, as nearly all of the lumber
that was used on the Comstock and in
this city came from the saws that
were turned there. 1t was only when
timber was too far distant to reap 2
profit that the mill was abandoned By
the removal Of the mill, the last land
mark of activity ct Glenbroek is wiped
