Herewith folloiwfe a petition, for

service between Juneau and Skag-:
way via way points. No ce mi went

tJ.i at of the men.
Jualin, Aal&fca, May 26, 1916.
Hon. Albert Sidney Burlesou,
Postmaster General,
United States of America,
Washington, D. C.
Honorable Sir:
The undersigned wish to place be
fore ycu for your juat consideration
an axme&l for the resumption of
mail service between Juneau, Ju
alin and Skagw-ay, Alaska. The
Juneau-Skagway Route, as yoiu are
aware, was discontinued on the first
day of May, 1916, leaving the pott
office at Jualin and the eutire
Berbers Bay region, without any
possible means of ou'talde communi
cation. We, a« -residents and
ei'i/.ens of the United States of
Ameiit-a, firmly believe that this
mail service should be resumed. The
Jual-u post office is situated at
Beruers Bay, Alaska, and its mail
servlre extends for a radius of
over twelve miles and covens a very
premising mining district and ter
ritory rich in lumber, fisheries an/d
agriculture.
Tbb Jualin Alaska Minxes Com
pany, bv wihom we are employed,
ha« operated for over twenty yeairs,
ami continuously since June 1,
1915, new having an investment in
plan* and equ)pjnent of $250,000,
and employing an average of forty
men, five of whom have families
residing at Jualin. The business
carricd ou by this Company in
suppli's purchased during the year
«v,.r S4o iopii fio and
the amount paid out in wages and
claries to over $60,000.00 per
year.
Practically tho whole of Berners
Bay district and outside and sur
rounding the holdiugu of the Ju
Alin Alaska Mines Company Is oc
oi*i»if<i by prospectors, many of
whem work on their propeity all
the your, and others whatever time
their l'mlted finances will permit.
.At William Henry Bay, directly
octo.-s the Lynn Canf.l from Ju
alin, truck farming and mining is
beir.g actively carried on. At the
l*>lnt of Berners Bay, some fifteen
to twenty five men are employed
the summer months the Bay is an
logging and lumbering. During
Important center for fisherman.
Th^ resumption of thia mail ser
vice is o<f vital Interest to all of
these industries, wlitcih are in In
fancy. The discontinuance of
thf mail .service, In our opinion, is
.i serious handicap, and an act
vhich we believe would be very de
trimental to the development and
:»r<.gresb tvf a country iu which we
feel assured the Department is in
terested in as well as ourselves.
In making this petition we be
lieve that the service and value of
mail to the development of Jusilin
md vicinity has been Improperly
placed before ycxur Honor, other
wise we cannot believe such a stop
toward throttling commerce and
struggilrg industries would ever
liave been made.
For the welfare Oif the com
munity and the nacsesaty of our
selves we respectfully plea to
your Honor that tho mail service
between Juueau, Jualin and Skag
way, Alaska, be resumed as speed
ily as possible.
