Provisions Exhausted at Knik and Shu Shetna Stores
No provisions remain at George Palmer's store in Knik nor at Shu Shetna station as mushers report empty larders and Palmer cannot accept future orders until navigation opens. Travelers to the interior have partly stockpiled in Seward to avoid heavy loads over rough trails, leading to disappointed settlers. In 1905 the Alaska Mexican Gold Mining Company on Douglas Island paid dividends equal to 53 percent of capital stock, exceeding its paid-in capital over three years.
