http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/264797328

The Manley-Hot Springs Resort Records consist of photocopies of six ledgers (1907-1911) relating to Frank Manley's Hot Springs Resort at Manley Hot Springs, Alaska; one daily log of occurrences at the resort (February to June 1909); one ledger (1906) and one time book (1907-1908, 1911) relating to Manley's other business enterprises in the Manley Hot Springs region; and a small book of accounts outstanding (1901-1902) that may relate to Manley's affairs elsewhere in Alaska. The resort ledgers include a hotel register for 1907-1908, three double-entry account books (1907-1911), a mess account (1907-1909), and a trial balance for 1910-1911. In addition to providing insights into the resort's expenses, income, and operations and Frank Manley's involvement in local mining, the various ledgers list many individuals whose names are not found in such common reference works as Polk's Alaska-Yukon Gazetteer and Business Directory.
