Direct From Cape Nome.
Ex-Constable Otto Gengelbach of
Clackamas precinct, has just re
turned from Oape Nome, where
the beach sands are strenked with par
ticles of gold. He waB among the first
to arrive at the new discovery, there be
ing only a few tents pitched in the new
mining camp at the time. Mr. Genbel
bach expects to return there with his
family. The United States authorities
decided that the beach subject to ove:'
flow by the tides was government do
main, and mining claims could not ba
located there. The miners work the
rich streaks of pay ssnd with their
rockers side by side, and make from $30
to $50 per day. Wages are $10 per day
and everybody has money. There are
no broke men. The claims staked off
and located are above the tide lands.
Mr, Gengelbach owns three claims
there, and believes that it will be a
more prosperous camn than ever Daw
son City was. There is no fuel there
but driftwood, which piles up ou the
txach. Steamers, however, had begun
to import coal. It is said there will be
a thousand men, who cannot get away
from Oape Nome this winter on account
of the lack of outgoing transportation
facilities. Mr. Gengelbach was all over
the Yukon country, prospecting and
mining, while there.
