A DYEA LETTER.
Dyka, Alaska, March 5,
Mr. F. P. Nuttiso :
Dear Sir: Agreeable to promise I
write you a few lines on the situation of
Skagway and Dyea. Arrived in bkag
way February 24, stopping there only
one day I found it very dull as far as
work was concerned, there being twenty
men to every situation, business in
nearly all its branches being overdone.
Sickness is very prevalent and in most
cases death ensues within 48 hours. As
many as 10 deaths have occurred in one
day. The symptoms are similar to
spinal meningitis and no remedies have
beeu found to check it.
In Skagway I met Mr Ramp and son,
wood, xeiiy, Maggie wnite and ueorge
Anderson. Moon & Kelly were carpen
teriug, Maggie White was painting, Mr
Ramp and son and George Anderson
were going to chopping wood. They
have ail done very poorly since they
came op here, but all have plenty of
hope and courage and expect to do bet'
ter when spring opens up.
I came over to Dvea on the 25th of
February. Met Duncan Monteith. C.
G. Rawlings and John Lamar, also Mr
Becker and wife and Mr Jooesr- All
were watf wwept. Jones, who hag been
very poorly for some time. Monteitb
Co. are runninea real estate and
lodging home aod will probably do well
this spring. Mr Becker owns three or
lonr houses and I am told ia making
money. Dyea is very healthy and quite
an orderly place. Everyone appears to
be busy getting their outfits and striking
out up the trail We bave had 4 or 6
days ol warm weather, the snow aod ice
is melting and sledding wilt be a thing
vi mo past id a lew oava
Freight was ? of a cent to Sheep Camp,
Ion r teen miles from here, that is aa far
aa teams can go. One week ago now it
was two cent and will probably be five
tbortiy. Two borae teams are making
w per aay nere at present, and all the
work they want. I saw a Uirly good
team aell for SO a few days ago. I met
John Rnlfbi, Faber'a man. Ha baa got
his outfit nearly al on top of the sum
mit of the Cbilkoot pass and will move
right along. '
Everything is high, bay 63 per ton,
potatoes 6c per pound,eggs65c per dosen.
everything else in proportion. Laboring
work ia very scarce except carpentering
Wages are 60cu per hour for all kinds
of work when there is any to be bad
A fire here on the 3rd barned a lodg
ing houe and two lodgers lct their livsa
in it. Their namea I did not loam. Tbe
wrecking tteamer Wbitvlaw was burned
to the water's edge at Skagwav ibis
morning. No further particulars. To
anyone wbo is thinking of coming uo
here for work or for business I would
aay stay where you are as you will bo
doubt be disappointed when too get
here aa everything ia overdone. Yon
will have dui hardship to overcooe.
the cold is intense at times and everyone
nearly baa very bad colds: the trio will
coat at the leaat $ 100, so I amy stay and
af ve your money and enjoy the plaa-
ores oi a emitaed cocnlry Myself and
Mr L A Allen, formerly of Albany, leave
here Monday for bbeep Camp, where
we will go to Decking over Lha oaaa. If
I can stand it I am poing to stay until I
make a atake, if not I will make enough
to come home on
I had a view of the northern livhta a
few nights sioce. one of the mndest
sights I bave ever witneaeed. Tbe lights
kept closing and spreading oat like a fan

and lasted nearly all night. I will close

Enough to Paralyze
From the Corvallis Times:
Six hundred dollars in gold, all washed
out in a single pan oi dirt is tbe sight
that waa seen by Assessor Alvxander in
bia recent visit toCaoyon City. Mr. Al
exander returned borne Tuesdav. This
famoua pan of gold be saw in the Gnker
mine recently discovered During bis
visit to Canyon City Mr. Alexander be
came well acquainted with Mr. linker,
tbe owner, aod one day was in tbe mine
wbUe work was going on. Lodged in one
of the waits ot the tuonel he noticed a
chonk of decomposed quart that dis
displayed a ahining network of gold aod
to it he called the attention of Mr. Gn
ker. The chunk was but little more than
ttx inches in length an! with a big jack-
knife that nas become famous as being
tbe chief tool used in picking ool the gold
in this queer mine, the lomp wss digged
out. Mr Alexander held Ihe pan. and
tbe chonk with the dir; loosened in de
taching it was dumped in Then th
product was wahed. and the ret v. I as
of tbe gold secured was a trifle over tOO.
Tbe richness of tbe sight paralysed the
Kink a alley mao. A lew day pre
vioos'y a similiar lump of decomposed
quarts and wire gold, held togtther by a
labyrinth of golden wire when sashed
