SKAGMAY HOTEL, HISTORIC SP6T
 BEING SOLD OUT

SKAGWAY, Jan. GA large num- Der of prospective buyers were or hand this morning when Marshal Frank Cook began to auction off the personal property of the famous old Fifth Avenue Hotel, says the Skag- way Alaskan The old building is somewhat damp cold and dilapldated, yet the furniture inside was in good condition.
 This hotel enjoyed a prosperous business during the boom days of Skagay. but several years ago it's owners became discouraged and left the hotel with fires burning, beds made, silyerware and everything there and locked the doors.
 The place has been the scene of much footing in recent years, and what is left now is only the heavier articles of furniture, such as bed ding, dressers, mattresses, tables and such articles. These goods are what are being sold today by the marshal in order to pay up the creditors of the hotel.
