 MEETING.

Late arrivals in Fairbanks from the T T-ioVana country bring word Of the organization on Mike Hess creek and it's tributaries of an as scciation for the prevention of dis putes over all kinds of differences. particularly in reference to mining. IL is. in fact. a revival of the old time miners meeting, which was the way in which all disputes were settled in early day mining camps before law and order ruled.
 The organization is not as yet completed number of the miners have talked it over and have decid- ed that il will be a good thing for their section of the country. It is expected that there will be al least 150 miners who will belong to the organization. IL will take F miners 10 constitute quorum for a meeting when dispute is to b., settled
 In this way the miners of the Promised Land, Moose creek and Mike Hess creek expect to settle all of their differences without re sort to law For they feel that dis nutes can be settled among them selves more easily than they can by taking them to court.
 The first meeting of the prospect ora took place on the evening of December 27, al Jack Nirich's cabin. k. c. Erchinger was eleCted tempo rary chairman. The next meeting will be held tonight, al which time it is expected that the organization will be perfected. Hereafter, meet ings are to be held semi monthly. The organization will also promote things socially in the camp on the Mike Hess side of the Tolovana di- vide. Business of all kinds will be discussed, particularly that which relates to mining and to new dis coveries.

"ll there iS business enough to justify the establishment one will certainly be established. show us tie business and we will go after it."
 The abov" were the parting re marks of j. A Fairborn, local agent of the A-Y.-N Co and the Wells
 Fargo Express company. when he was asked concerning the report
 that the Wells-Fargo people intend to establish an express route be- tween Fairbanks and the Tolovana.
 Prior 10 the remarks above quoted,
 Mir Fairborn stated that it was his intention to take trip to
 the Tolovana country some time be-
 fore spring in an effort to ascertain
 something concerning the volume of
 business it will be possible to se-
 cure in the new camp. having pre-
 faced his remarks by stating that.

 business could be done by the Wells Fargo people did they decided to en- ter the business field in the new camp. He will therefore have good opinion of what the concern will do in the matter when he makes his report.
 R. c. Wood, president of the First
 National bank, intended to see the Wells Fargo people about the es- tablishment of route to the Tolo. vana while he was Outside. He has written the result of his visit at the San Francisco office to George
 Hutchinson. cashier of the bank. his letter containing the encourag ing information that the route will undoubtedly te established if the business In sight warrants 1t. The matter of whether the route will be established by river or trail remains to be settled after it is defi nitely known that the Wells-Fargo people will go Into business in the new camp. Certain it is that the winter route will have to be by
 trail and it is also probable that the condition oY the trails In the summer will also have something to do with the route which will be chosen
 The Wells Fargo people will un- doubtedly choose the route over which the best time can be made. The water route Is preferable for
 several reasons, but the length Of time it takes to make the trip via the river and the log jam will prob ably have the effect of offsettine any discontinue or hardship to be endured on the trail. for the trail trip necessitates but two days time

Fish Warden Knocks
 Fish Propagation

l.. F. Protzman Is in receipt of 3 letter from Governor Strong in reference to the stocking of the ponds and lakes at the experimental farm with trout. The letter from the governor encloses another let ter from H. NJ. Smith United States commissioner of fisheries, written to the governor in reference to the same matter. And from the tone of the letter it is indicated that one of the two fish wardens located in the Fourth division of Alaska with headquarters in Fair banks has succeeded in knocking the attempt made by local sports nen to propagate fish in the inland lakes and ponds of this part of the territory.
 The letter from Commissioner Smith to the governor was as fol lows: .
 Washington, Dec. g, 1915. Hon. J. F. A. Strong,
 Governor, Territory of Alaska. Dear Sir:
 With further reference, to the matter of stocking the experimental farm ponds at Fairbanks, Alaska, in regard to which you were writ ten on August IS, the Bureau is now in receipt of advice from it's representative in Alaska stating that in his opinion the ponds in question are not suitable to habitation by sallnonidas As was stated in the Bureaus former letter to you, spiny- rayed fishes could not consistently be consigned to the ponds, and even were that course not contrary to the policy of the Bureau 1t would be practically impossible to trans port such species from the central states to Fairbanks. Considering all the information at hand. it seems impossible to give you the assist ance asked for
 Yours very truly,
 H. M SMITH,
 Commissioner.

 ON ALL TRAILS.

The snow storm which has pre- vailed In interior Alaska for the past week as yet shows but little sign of abating.

 Trails are practically impossible everywhere, although there are a few teams moving in Fairbanks and on the creeks Reports from Olnes are also to the effect that the Ring seth stage and other rigs plying be- tween the creek city and Brooks. in the Tolovana country, are making their regular trips.
 From the reports received at the local office of the signal corps it is evident that there will be no mail received in Fairbanks until tomor- row or next day The incoming stage, which should have reached town Saturday night with mail, has been four days on the trail be- tween Donnellys and Martins, distance of 50 miles, and had not reached the latter point yesterday at noon. The stage which left Fair banks Saturday morning for the coast has not yet reached Salcha according to the report.
 One of the signal corps men who are out on the trail looking after the telegraph line has reported that it took him three days to make 12 miles with a horse and double ender. He says that in the mountains the snow in places along the trail has fallen to a depth of 12 feet.

 Sir: Replying to your letter Of November 24th reference parcel post packages addressed either to your self or members of your family, you are informed that no Fairbanks par cels are withheld from transmission this winter.
 The success of the department in forwarding all classes of mail to Interior Alaska points via Dawson tober has reduced the surplus over previous years so that we have been able to keep everything moving so far; at least they are not held in Seattle. It may be that they are temporarily delayed at Cordova, but we are informed that merchandise packages are going forward from that point, with prospects of keep ing everything cleaned up.
