ATLIN NOTES
Mr. and Mrs., Robert Roxborough
ore to be congratulated over the1
birth of a daughter on Sunday
July 15th ,
The heavy rains of last week
have resulted la quite a bit of d«-m
agQ to the mines in and around
Ailin, the worst effects being on
Bjrch creek where the sluice boxs
and much other equipment were
carr'bd away. Shortage of men is
retarding the work of repair.
The election for school trustees
to.ok place on Tuesday of last
week. In Atlin, Messrs Williams,
Kershaw and Garret were elected,
and in Discovery Morrison, Gairnes
aud Miller were chosen to take
care of th0 school for the ensuing
year,
Mr. W&yland, mining engineer
strike breakers arrived from
Treadwell a few days ago and are
engaged in prospecting on the
Taku river. They are looking for
quartz.
W. B. Conroy's fox ranch is«one
of the popular points of interest
to the tourlsta who. enjoy watch
ing the antics of the black, silver
gray and cross foxeu.
DOLPHIN DUE AUG. 1
Owing to bad weather* conditions
oa the iasi(*Q passage to Alaska,
as reported by the freighter! Ketchi
kan, tha steamer Dolphin will jie>
la? its sailing one day, leaving
Seattle July 27, and arriving in
Skagway August 1.
As a measure of economy post
masters aro directed to encourage
the public to use stamps of the
highest denomination suited to
amount of postage required on
all mail. For example, a 2 cent
stamp Instead of two 1 cent
Stamps should be affixed to let
ters needing two centg postage;
and a 10 cent stamp instead of
two 5 cent stamps, used oa arti
cles requiring ten centg postage.
Cooperation, between; post office
employes and the public in the
sale and use of stamps of the
higher denominations will effect
a large saving to the government j
in tha cost of producing, trans
porting and cancelling them , . J
