Secretary Daniels says a high power station is noh advisable for Unga as merchant ships do not possess highpower sets of radio instruments.

time would be cut down more than 70 per cent.
 The routes over which the gov crnmcnt has called for contracts for the delivery of mail, per aero plane, are as follows:
 From Valdez to Fairbanks, 358 miles; from Fairbanks to Tan ana, 162 miles; from Tanana to Kaltag, 381 miles; from Kaltag to Nome, 225 miles; from Seward to Iditarod, 3So miles; from Sew ard to Anchorage, no miles.
 The syndicate of Alaskans which brought the project to the attention of the government has recently tested biplane which carries 1000 pounds of useful cargo in addition to its aviator, gasoline and equipment It is believed that with fleet of this class of machines, if provided with suitable landing places and machinists to make necessary re pairs a dependable mail service can be established.

SYNDICATE TO BID
 ON AERO SERVICE

After many years of faithful service, the Alaska mail dogs those of them that have not been "conscripted' for service "some- where in France"-may get d well earned rest next winter, says Jack Underwood in the Se- attle Times. The government has called for bids for the delivery of mails by aeroplane in all Alas kan towns not open to steamship service.
 A syndicate of Alaskans is now in California arranging for the construction of machines, One aeroplane is now under con struction and in the event the syndicate being unable to get favorable contracts for mail de- livery, 1t will be used to carry gold from the interior each year after the transportation by water has been suspended.
 Should mail contract be made with the government a fleet of aeroplanes will be built this spring and summer. Every year more than $I ,ooo,o ,ooo is taken out by the miners of Iditarod and other interior camps, after nav igation is closed, and this gold is usually hauled by dog teams, the journey requiring several weeks. The Alaskans figure that the saving of interest On the money in transit would pay the cost of operation of an aeroplane.
 The introduction of a fleet of flying machines will be hailed with general rejoicing by inte- rior Alaskan cities, both winter and summer, especially Iditarod and Fairbanks. In summer mail to these points is sent by steam ship to St. Michael, then up the Yukon river and its tributaries It usually takes letter from twenty to thirty days to travel from Seattle to Fairbanks and about the same period of time is lost between Seattle and Idi- tarod.

ALASKA NOTES

The Fairbanks News Miner of February IS, tells of a heavy electric storm which prevailed between Panama and Fairbanks The storm began at 5 o'clock in the evening and steadily grew worse until it burned out a couple of keys at the telegraph office and caused other annoyan- ces on the line. The electrical storm in winter was something new to the operators and at first they did not know what was the matter, believing that a line had become crossed with one of the electric wires of town.
 William Byers, the pioneer trader and storekeeper of Gold en, Port Wells, has disposed of his business there and will en- gage in foxraising on Byers and other islands in the sound. He will also operate in connection with one of the Cordova salmon canneries during the summer. Mir. Byers is postmaster at Gold en, and has sent his resignation to the department in Washing ton. Mir. Spaulding, former sup erintendent of the Golden Eagle Mining company, is the new owner of the Golden trading post and will probably be ap- pointed postmaster there.
 The Juneau Empire of recent date says that it is reliably stated that a strike of much significance has been made on the benches at Lituya bay. The find is report ed to have been made recently and large quantity of nuggets were taken out by the locators from the first hole to bedrock.
 Heretofore much work has been done along the benches and the strike the value of which has not been fully determined, is sufficient to cause stampede
 Several miners have already left Juneau and Douglas for the scene of the strike and some of them are preparing to take in their families.
 Writing to Senator Chamber lain regarding the request of the Columbia River Packers associ- ation that radio station be es- tablished at Unga, Secretary Daniels of the navy department says that so far as the navy IS

 The Fairbanks News Miner says that an important gold quartz ledge has been discovered on the divide between St Patrick and Eve creeks. The ledge is said to be four feet wide, carries good values and is so situated that it can be economically mined.
 The young moose which at tracted the attention of tourists at Fairbanks last summer is no more. Too much frozen cab bage caused an attack of collie and the moose could not stand 1t. The animal was captured last summer by two prospectors who saved it from a forest fire.
 The Alaska Free Gold Comr pany, owner of gold quartz property in the Willow Creek gold camp, has declared an an nual dividend of 1923 per cent, from the royalties received from William Martin, lessee. Upon the basis of gold production since MT. Martin took over the property, the company, if opera Eng the mine itself would be paying an annual dividend of 300 per cent.
 There is one travelling sales man on the Alaska run who is sure that the membess of the crew of the steamer Admiral Evans are honest. On a recent trip of the steamer southward the salesman got off at ketchi- kan, leaving his purse under his pillow. When he discovered his loss he sent wireless to the pur- ser and received an answer that the purse and contents were safe.
 The Clark-Graham company will soon begin the work of erecting their new cannery at Mountain slough, Southeastern Alaska, and the vessel is now enroute north from Puget Sound with eighty thousand feet of lumber for the buildings. It is expected that the plant will be installed in time to permit of a full pack being made this season. When the wharf at Seward was destroyed in January big safe belonging to the Alaska Engi- neering commission dropped into the bay where the water was I4 feet deep at low tide. The feat of raising the safe was performed by George Madsen, an old time beach expert of Nome, who slip ped cable under the safe and brought it to the surface.
 Several cases of beer which went to the bottom of the bay at Seward when the wharf was des troyed by fire have been recover ed by men who had idle time on their hands. It is known that one shipper in Anchorage had several hundred cases on the dock when the fire occurred and the bay in that vicinity is to be given thorough prospecting.
 There appears to be some doubt as to the exact location of Lewis river where some good placer ground is reported to have been found. Most people believe that it runs into Cook Inlet be- tween Beluga creek and the Stu sitna. One old timer of Seward says that it empties into Beluga creek itself but in either case 1t cannot be more than forty or fifty miles from Anchorage

The Mother Lode Copper Mine company shipped one hundred and fifty tons of ore to the Ia coma shelter recently. The ore is not the highest grade ore that has been transported from the interior but it is expected to average better than thirty per cent pure copper. The shipment had value of $2I 900. The mine is employing force of fifty miners and expects to soon send another shipment of ore to the smelter.
