Aitken came down from Mayo on the first water, end were here several days awaiting the arrival of MT McGinn. After conference with him the deal was closed, and Mir. Manley announceG that he and his associates are starting ar engagements for the opening and develop ment of the property on larger scale than ever,
 MT. Manley states that the company hopes to get a good road built from the landing to the mine, so that shipments can con tinue summer as well as winter and that the plan IS to put on heavy modern motor trucks or tractors and to draw the ore tC the Stewart river at Mayo Landing as fast as mined. He hopes to have fifteen to twenty tons shipped daily this season if the road can be put in suitable condition, and to deepn the shaft and possibly open other shafts Water is to be pumped from the present shaft, and the depth extended much more, he says, and stopes started.
 Mir Ives will be on the ground in charge of the work and MT ManIey, after visiting the property on the trip of the Nasutln will return to Dawson, and then be joined by Mrs Manley, who is coming from the Outside, after which he will go to ldltaroG to operate their extensive placers there this summer with their dragline eXcavators MT.

WANT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE
 OF IDITAROD MAIL ROUTE
Nome Industrial Workerl

Thomas Gaffney states that the residents of Marshall, or as it is now known, Fortuna Ledge, are agitating to have their mail come by way of the Iditarod instead of via Unaakleet and St. Michael, Men tray eled between Marshall and Seward via the Iditarod, making the trip to the coast in twenty three days. One man mailed let ter in Juneau to man in Marshall and later left via Seward and the Iditarod for Mar shall. He arrived in Marsahll, notwith- standing his later start, fully week ahead of the letter that came via Fairbanks. This suggestion is worth consideration by Nome ties. If the Nome mail were routed via Iditarod and Marshall and St, Michael it would come in several days ahead of the present route also, for over the hills the trip can be made from Marshall to St. Michael in two days if the trail is staked.
