The receipts of Petersburg postotfice
 for the quarter ending December 3l,
 1915, show gain of si553 over those
 for the same quarter of the previous
 year, being s4OO53. The total receipts
 during the quarter of 1914 were S354O8.
 The total number of domestic money
 orders issued in December, 1915, was

 One coal mine was operated on Cook
 inlet in 1915 to furnish lignitic coal to a local market. There was also little
 mining at several other localities. Some investigations were made in the Mata
 nuska and other Alaska coal fields by
 those who are contemplating making applications for leases. Meanwhile the general land office has made the eub- division surveys of the more accessible
 parts of the Boring River, Matanuska aud Nenaua coal fields.
 When Mir. John T. Reed. deputy clerk of the U. S. district court at Juneau, was down at Seattle be told them some things about Alaska. Mir. Reed says there is an ever-growing agitation in Alaska to have the territory divided into two territories, central and coast al. "Ihere never will be the proper in Alaska until the divis- ion is made" he said "Our interests in Southeastern Alaska are different from those of the interior and help that is given to the Territory from the federal government is certain to be of no use to one or the other of the natu- ral subdivisions. Another matter that is badly in need of change is the school system. Under our present laws Alas kan towns may not vote bonds, and until we can vote bonds we shall have inadequate school buildings. The school house at Juneau is at once dretrap and a disgrace to the city and to all Alaska for that matter"
 The bark Kate Davenport, which has been skylarking about the inlet for some weeks, unnamed and unguided by animate belngs, by some strange caprice decided to visit Anchorage. The visitation was made after midnight Like a spectre in the dark, the huge hulk moved inward, stopping opposite the mouth of Ship creek. Re- maining a couple of hours, the massive craft slowly backtracked it, and is now probably in the vicinity of Fire island. The ship Katie Davenport, now but relic of its former pristine powers when it ruled the ocean in the matter of speed, was lowed here, laden with lum- Der for the Anchorage Supply Com pany, in midsummer. Up to few weeks ago the ship was moored in the channel Heavy weather caused the parting of the long used and rusty anchor chains, and the ship went out with the tide one day, where no one seemed to know. As a speculation, Dick Dougherty, the well-known min. ing mau, bought the old ship from the lumber company. Dicks property came floating in Tuesday morning, probably to report that all was we'll and that it was ready for business at the owners pleasure. When a big vessel can enter Ship creek harbor in the night time, go away again before the dawn appears, and meet with DO mishap, with not a solitary soul aboard to guide it's course, candor cOmpels the admission that this is some harbor.- Cook Inlet Pioneer.

J.C. Van Orsdal, who just returned to Fairbanks after having prospected in the Broad Pass country last summer reports that section as a wonderful country. He says there are immense
 bodies of low grade ores there. Of course, the properties are quite hard to get to, and as a result of the inaccessi- bility of the country they have not been extensively opened up. There were between 50 and 75 men prospect ing in the country all last summer, and every one of them is satisfied that the country will be big producer in the near future. OOe of the properties in the district, the Riverside, was bonded
 by group of Spokane men. They will stock the company this winter and prospect it extensively. Operations will be started on fairly large scale, the largest scale yet attempted in Broad Pass. The Wells boys, the dis coverers of the district, still have their holdings and are we'll satisfied with them.-EX.
 Statehood would terminate the rule of the political bosses and give us con- trol over the tide lands and other assets which the federal government is now holding in trust for us uDtil such time as Alaska is admitted. The amount of property this would add to our tax roll would be more than ample to provide sufficient revenue for running expenses at low rate of taxation, and would give the people full control over the resources of Alaska, which they have been endeavoring to develop for many years. The Times suggests that con- gress be informed by city councils and commercial organizations what the opinions of the people are in regard to the question. This may be entirely correct, but we must not forget that the chief industry in Alaska at present is mining and that it is this industry which supports all the city councils aud commercial organizations, and it would not be unreasonable for the miners to have a small voice in the matter, even though they are regarded by our contemporary as transient or irresponsible" class.-Fairbank News Miner.
 Valdez: An agreement has been reached between the litigants in the Cliff mine case, whereby H. E. Ellis will continue to operate the mine and pay into the registry of the federal court 3 per cent of the gross amount of gold taken out, pending the decision of the appeal case as to the ownership of the one fifth interest. During the trial it was shown that approximately S26,000 in gold has been recovered from the ores treated since the mine was re- opened last summer. This includes the output from II. E. Ellis operations as we'll as John Hughes, the layman. It is understood that under the new Mir. Ellis has lease on the property for six years and until the appeal case is determined he agrees to pay 5 per cent of the gross amount of gold recovered into the office of the clerk of court. Should the decision of the court in giving the other claimants a one.hfth interest in the mine be sus- tained, the money paid to the registry will go to Edmund Smith, George c. Treat and Logan Archibald.

The New Years Eve ball at White horse for the benefit of the new hos pital was brilliant success. Two hundred dollars was raised.
 F. J. Munson, a prominent mining man of Western Alaska, and Mrs. Rose Fetterly, of Seattle, were married on
 board the S. S Northwestern, north
 bound from Seattle, by Capt. Charles O'Brien.
 Chairman Edes, of the Alaska Rail- road Commission, has asked congress for a preliminary appropriation of two million dollars to keep things moving until the larger appropriation can be worked through.
 The Seward Chamber of Commerce is planning campaign to induce steamships plying between Seattle and the Orient to make Seward a regular port of call. The government will be asked to make Seward a port of entry.
 A big storm visited St. Michael on Jan. 7th, accompanied by the highest tide on record. The Alaska Yukon Navigation Go. wharf was destroyed and partly washed away. Four of the six big oil tanks were blown over and wrecked.
 The Anchorage Kennel Club is plan- ning an annual dog race which will rival the Nome derby. The course planned is from Anchorage to Seward and return. The purse of S1,50O is to be divided into two prizes, SlOOO first and $500 second. It is planned to run the race in March, when the trail will be at the best.
 Secretary of Interior Lane in his Ru uual report speaks of the necessity of new set of mining laws for Alaska. He says: "The old code is so elaborate and that the best brains can not tell what the law is. The truth seems to be that between mining en- gineers and mining lawyers the rules of the game have been refined into ob scurity. And if congress were to say to the president that he might select three men familiar with mining laws and miners difficulties to suggest new mining code to congress, it would, l believe, be giving in earnest a new to the mining industry.
 The Ketchikan Progressive-Miner is sad, but hopeful. It says; Telegraph ic news from Seattle says that the transportation companies have agreed . to meet the transcontinental railroad officials for the purpose of devising ways and means whereby the fish traf- 1. fc that is now being diverted to Prince Rupert will be held there. If this !. means anything it means that the transportation companies will formu late a new schedule of rates on fst,and ! that the reduction will be such as to the natives. That is one way of going after the business, but it isn't the only way. However. that will help some. Meanwhile, we are travelling rapidly toward the time when a new administration will come in and we can revert back to the old way of doing things, which was the proper remedy. ! We say "proper" because the reduction of rates is only a makeshift and cannot last. ~,And should the Grand Trunk Pacific meet the cut, we are left again.
