Fletcher T. .'Hamshaw, according
to Mr. Stubler bus taken a lay
from Mauley and his partners on the
James claims which they bonded
from the owner last fall, and is to
turn over as.rental 60 per cent oi!
the golj.taken out. It is estimated
that from $300,000 to $500,000 will

lies.
It Has already been demonstra
ted that there will bo IS .or 20
good paying claims on Bonanza, Cl

outside of these there are no very
flattering prospects.
There are now about 150 meu and

ALASKA 5. S. CO.
FOLDER FOR 1914
The Alaska Steamship company j
litis ju&L issued its handsomely il
li'strated folders announcing its Al
ska excursion rates and schedule
for tho tason of 1914. The excur
:on business to Southeastern Alas
ka will 'je handled by the steamship
f'clphi;. and Jefferson, the first
boat leaving Seattle on June 21 and
the last on August 21. These ves
sels will only run as far as Sks.g
way. The round trip will be $60.00.
The Southwestern Alaska excur
sions will bo taken care of by the
steamships Mariposa, Alameda and
Northwestern, and the season will
commence on June 18 and oi>d on
August 18, the above being the
dptes of departure from Scuttle.
The round trip faro will be $100.
Notwithstanding tho fact, however
that the Alaska Steamship company
3oes a large business in this port,
and is catering to secure the
tourist travel and tho further fact
that its folders are profusely illus
trated with Alaskan scenes and
views of towns there is not a
single illustration of any point o:i
L;/nn canal nor of the historical
town at its head, Skagwav.
We are loath to believe that the
omission was intentional. Rather are
we convinced that it was an over
sight on the part of whoever had
rhe work of compiling tho folder in
hand, for there could have been no
other reason for leaving out an il
lustration of ono of the most pic
turesque and interesting points on
the whole of the route traversed by
the excursionists.
P!
MM
Announcement of the passenger
rates that are to prevail during the
coming year were given out jester- j

fi eight and passenger, to and from

but those between interior points |
