c1908-Extremely rare script note (paper token). Obverse: "The Triple Alliance Syndicate of Chena, Alaska." The triple alliance was the California Sideboard, the Howard Bar, and Mike`s Fish Camp. The value is set for 25c, serial No. 112. The fine print reads, "Ten days before the frost is on the fish wheel, Autumn 1908, We promise to pay on demand, 25 cents in trade." Reverse: "our 110-Proff Guarantee (of fish in the Tanana river) for the value of $50,000.00" Nice borders at the perimeter of both sides. Chena was a small town whose heyday as a gold destination was in the first two decades of the 1900`s. It lies on the confluence of the Chena and Tanana rivers, and is now what is the outskirts of Fairbanks. HKA#64376
