LAST BOATS To SAIL
 ABOUT END OF MONTH

The steamers Alaska and Yukon are scheduled to leave Ncnana for Whitehorse on their final voyages of the season about the end of this month. The Alaska is now enroutc up the Panama river with two barges in tow, and upon arrival at Nenana, about Saturday, will make special trip to Gibbon for another barge. This will enable the Yukon to catch up with the Alaska and both boats will get away from here on the last trip at about the same time, on September 20 or 30.
 The steamer Panama, which was sent down river for a barge aban- doned by the Reliance. should be in port sometime today, and will then return to the mouth of the Panama river for another barge.
 Captain Andy Livingstone and as much of a crew as can be assem- bled will put the Reliance in con- mission again within the next day or two, to perform such odd jobs as may be necessary to expedite the work of getting all the freight into port before the end of the season. The boat probably will operate part of the time between Nenana and North Nenana, moving freight across the river for shipment to Fairbanks.
 The powerboat kestrel, which was engaged in moving ore from Roose- welt to the mouth of the Kantishna. has been compelled to abandon the work, owing to low water. Consid- erable of the ore is still at Roose- welt, and will remain there until next spring. The Kestrel took load of freight to the mouth of the Bearpaw on the last trip up the Kantishna, but could not get beyond that point. The cargo was part of the hydraulic outfit belonging to the Mt Mckinley Gold Placers, and will be freighted from the mouth of the Bearpaw to the property of the company after the freezeup. The companys tractor will be used to do the hauling.

PARCEL IS LONG TIME
 REACHING DESTINATION

A package was shipped by ex- press from Cincinnati, to a man on Unimak pass, to the westward of Seward, in September, 1917. The package went to Seward. The man received word the next year that the package had been sent. Ex- press agent Mcdonald, in Seward, wrote to the Unimak Pass man that there was no express service to the westward and if he would forward a certain sum of money the package would be sent by parcel post. The Unimak Pass man received the let ter from Mir. Mcdonald and for warded the money in May of this year. The money was received by Mir. Mcdonald on a recent trip of the mail boat, which was August 12. The package went forward on the Pulitzer and should reach the Uni mak Pass man at least three years after it was shipped from Cincin- natl.

M'G|BNEY PROMOTING
 ALASKA GOLD STOCKS


 timer, who was formerly engaged in the contracting and freighting business in the Nenana district, is at the present time in Montana, where he is selling stock in the Alaska Montana Placer Mining con- pany, of which he is one of the principal stockholders, his associates including F. H. Bailey, former divi- sion engineer in the employ of the Alaskan Engineering commission, and Captain Griffith, another old timer of the Interior country. The property of the company is located in the Cache Creek district, back of Talkeetna.
 "We expected to get started this summer" McGibney says in a letter written to w. A. Coghill, "but ow- ing to financial circumstances we will not get started until next spring. Money is terribly hard to get, especially on any gold proposi- tion in Alaska. They are leary of false prophets, and you can't blame them here, for they have been taken into camp in this valley for years on mines around Butte and other districts which have been worked out for years.
 Bailey is up at the mines now and his report is better than the one I made. He took an engineer with him-a Mir. Floyd-and he re- turned after having made a thor ough investigation. His report is that ours is one of the best hy- draulic proposition he ever saw. He took hundreds of pans and never got a skunk" Got several good pieces ranging as high as 75 cents, and even over dollar. One went $4.60, and in the first five pans he banned a total of $2.63. He found many 30- to 60-cent pans. You see, they had to get report from someone from here to give the peo- pie confidence. As for myself, they did not doubt my word in the least, but they wanted a report from some one of their own people, to make sure that they would not be thrown down.
 'I have had two offers for my interest, and I have an offer of s15,000 for quarter interest. I am thinking very strongly of letting go. In fact, I am satisfied that I will do so eventually. It will be year before I can realize any money and l may be forced to sell. I am inclined to think the captain wants $10O,000 for his share. Red Me Cornell is with him now. taking out money with a pick and shovel, and they are beating wages"
 McGibney says that he is married again. His former wife, it will be recalled, succumbed to an attack of the flu shortly after leaving Alaska. I AMMAN nIEA
