EAGLE MAIL ROUTE
IS DISCONTINUED
Onco again has that department of
the government that disposes of tho
destinies of Alaska's mail service ta
ken action that is the cause of con
demnation on the part of those who
| are HtippoHed t-<> honellt l»y the Her
! vice. Thin time it in tiie cancellation
i of the contract held hy Jack Miller
j and the consequent depriving of hoiiio |
200 persons of mail service.
Miller lias had the contract to car
ry mail from Valdez to Eagle, and
when he hid he hawed his estimates
on a four year job hut now, with
about two yearn to run, the contract
is taken away from him. The instruc
tioils received by Postmaster Jeffer
son provide that from September .'10
route 78,10H, from Valdez to Kaglelie
discontinued and also order that
from September 30 route 78,113 from
Valdez to Fairbanks be so changed an
to embrace the mail norvleo on tho
Valdez-Eagle route between Valdez
and Oakomi.
This change means that the Orr
company will carry the mail for Ton
sina, Copper (Center and Oulkana
and it will give those towns mail
once a week from October 1 to No
vember I, twice a week for November
and from that time on until the spring
service three times a week. Thin ex
tra mail will he Included in tho extra
weight provided for by the rovlsed
contract entered into Rome months
ago by the government and the Orr
company and does not benefit the
Orr company.
All those persons living between
Oulkana and Kaglc must do without
mail service from September 30 on,
unless they journey to either one or
the other of the towns mentioned.
These persons were served under the
Miller cont ract and not only do they
lose the servlco but Miller looses all
chance of making any money on his
contract.

VALDEZ PLANS BIG
EXHIBIT AT FAIR
Vuldez interest in the approaching
Alaska-Yukon-Pacillc Exposition re
I eeived u deckled impetus at the meet
ing of the chamber of commerce Fri
day night and a movement was wet on
foot the purpose of which is to make
sure that the exhibit from this section
of Alaska will be second to none from
I the territory. The meeting was
called to enable 11. A. Semple, special
agent of the Alaska commission of
| the exposition, to explain his desires
; with regard to collecting an exhibit
from'this section and") that commit
tees to work in harmony with him
might be appointed. The attendance
I at the meeting was representative of
the best business interests of Valdez
land the sentiment expressed was
strongly in advocacy of united ac
j tion an a proposition that, it was de
| dared, cannot helpj'but advance the
; interests of Valdez.
j In addressing the chamber Mr. Sem
i pie said that he desires to get from
each locality in his jurisdiction every
I thing possible that will go th empha
size the resources os the districts in
question. His idea is that as mining
is the main source of wealth in the
| Copper river and Prince William
j sound countryjthat ore exhibits will
I therefore form the principal exhibit.
Big Nugget Desired
In particular, Mr. Scmple desires t«
j have exhibited tlx* bigcopper nugget

the cost of the project- It was gen
orally agreed hy several of thoxc fa
miliar with the roiidiiions tu hi- fi|.
countered that the nugget can he
brought out whole hut thai to dose
will cost in t he nei^hherhood of $.'{,000.
Mr. Scinplc is to wire < 'oniinissioucr
Me Pride in Juneau to ascertain if the
government will t.t.niid .-inch an ex
pense.
1 lie nugget in <|iiesiion is practi
cally pure copper and weighs close to
three tons. Kou^hly speaking it.i
dimensions are eight feet long, three
feet wide and one foot, thick at the
thickest part. The task of getting it
to a shipping point will he a monu
mental one hut it can he done if he
KUn in time, and it is felt that the ad
\ertising the iiiHide copper district
will derive will make ii well worth
' while.
Deputy I'nited States Clerk.I. II.
j Hurton presided at the meeting and
lie called upon several of the mining
J men present for suggestions. Dr. W.
A. Kystroni promised to see that the

that It is the desire of the chamber
that the women folk Of Valdez con
