Good Reports.

In a letter from Fairbanks re- ceivcd by last mail are the follow ing items about the camp:
 In about two years Fairbanks will be the best place in Alaska. At present there are no provisions in the camp, and the restaurants will all have to close before spring. Money is scarce and everything is running on a Bedrock basis.
 "There are good claims on Cleary creek. Two claims on Chatham are very good. Chatham is trib- utary of Cleary. On Fairbanks creek there is pay for four miles. A friend of mine is drifting on Cleary creek; the last three days he worked he took out dirt averag- ing 20 cents to the pan. He will work all winter. There are 10 or 15 men working on Gold creek. Pedro creek has several good claims. There will be plenty of money in the spring when the dumps are washed out"

Want Weekly Mail.

The people of Fairbanks, through their representative. sent to the postal department the following telegram:
 "We have nearly 2,OOO people now in this district. Our popula- tion is steadily increasing. The commercial companies are ordering supplies to winter 5000 people next season.
 ''Such district is entitled to regu- lar mail service. Last fall we had three months without mail. Next spring we will be in ,he same pre- dicament. In the Yukon region in the fall and spring this cannot be avoided owing to the opening and and closing of the Yukon river. From Valdez here the route can be travelled very well any time of the year. An average of forty miles a day can he made if proper relays are provided.
 The people of this district peti- tion for regular weekly mail ser vice via Valdez the whole year round. This summer a regular water route may answer for second third and fourth class matter, but not for fifstclass mail.
 We urge immediate provision be made to have Valdez mail come regularly, weekly. uninterrupted. !"
 Signed, E. J. BARNET, Mayor,
 ABE SPRING, City Atty.
 The chamber of commerce of Val dez having been appraised of Fair banks desire for weekly service, and recognizing the necessity for the same as factor in the devel- opment of the country, telegraphed in reply to Fairha inks their desire to eO-operate and give them all the hel lp possible in the matter.

Chamber of Commerce.

At the chamber of commerce meeting on last Friday night there was a good representative gather ing. The principal question of the evening was the securing of q week. ly mail service between here and Fairbanks. The necessity for the same is thoroughly appreciated by every one as the prime factor to- wards the development of the in- terior of Alaska, and the chamber was unanimous in their determina- tion to assist Fairbanks in getting the same, especially as it has been clearly demonstrated that mail can be carried between Valdez and Fairbanks in 16 days or less.
 Before adjournment the retiring secretary, MT. E. A. Henderson, was presented with token of re- gard from the chamber for the eff cient services rendered by him while in office. The presentation was made by Judge Goodell in Il very neat speech; the token con sisted of silk watch fob mounted with gold buckle one and five eighths inches long and an inch and quarter wide. It is made of about thirty small nuggets selected from gold of the various diggings tributary to Valdez. Across the buckle is the design-Valdez c. of C.-in raised letters also made of nuggets. The buckle weighs fifteen penny weights. As pendant charm is beautiful nugget weigh ing about fourteen penny weights; in it may be seen some of the rose quartz from which it came, and which adds greatly to the beauty of 1t. Taken as whole it is without doubt the handsomest piece of goldsmith work ever done in Val dez. It was designed and made by Tod Winters, of Kern's jewelry store.
