Asks for Establish
ment of Mail Route
by Way Minchumina
The following letter, concerning the
establisbment of it mail route via Min
cbumina, in which is voiced the senti
ments of many residents hereabouts,
was recently forwarded to Delegate
Dan Sut herland:
Tokotna, Alaska, Sept. 4, 1925.
Hon. Dan Sutherland
Delegate to Congress,
Washington, D. C.:
In leply to yours of June 8th, in re
gard to airplane mail service for this
section, will admit airplanes are very
satisfactory Outside, where traffic con
ditions are coDgesied, but up here we
do not meet with those conditions; also
useful in this country in emergency
crses. In discussing mail routes with
citizens of this section, the majority
are in iavor of the Minchumina Lake
route. Everybody is anxious for a
semi-uionthlv service via that route,
being assured by Katntnisgaard and
other well known oldllmers that such
route would be dependable.
In the spring, perishables could be
landed at McGrath from a month to six
weeks earlier than present mode of
transportation. Also, the summer route
would be in touch with the winter mail
trail in case of early freezeup, which
has occurred. The proposed route
would have a tendency to develop that
section of country lying between here
and Neuana. Prospectors who want to
go into that section at present are
either compelled to buy or charter a
gasboat, which you know isn’t likely to
happen. With a permanent route es
tablished as proposed, they could come
and g<> at will.
Tru.-ting you will be able to get some
sort of satisfactory mail service foi us
during the sumn* months,
Very truly yours,
Jack Mutchlek.
