Editor of Statesman; A desire to make an uu prej ndiced account of . this womterfnl coantry and exposure to smallpox is my excuse for delay in communicating with you. Our Salem people so far as htard from have done nothing for the good of themselves, other than being of mutual assistance to eacU;othcr in establLshing camps, and sympathizing with each other in their homesickness. The steamship Oregon arrived In port on June 13th. -since which time the weather 1ms been delightful, most of tiie J iiue, Jjarring a few cold winds. There has not been enough rain to fur nish water for the creek ndnes, and Charles I. Lane, who owns most of the mines on Anvil creek, has been busy building ta railroad from the beach to the mines. The road is to be twelve miles long, and we can see the trains passing from our camp. .The number of people here is variously es tima'tedNat Jrom 15.0iO to 2O.01W. It is a veritable "White City," there being perhaps 10,000 tents,) from the size of a circus tent down to one three by, six feet. iThcre are a. great many busi ness hRisesreiing built, but Inasmuch as luro.er i$ $125 per thousand feet, dwelling houses are comparatively un known. ;':'! M'- C The one great question of interest to everyone in Salem, and perhaps more so to those wlw are here, is the money question. Is there gold here as repre sented! by those who came out last fall, ahdNvill this country sustain the present population, are questions that should certainly be answered in the negative, i There is, ; however, much gold here, ;,and fortunes hare been made 1 in a day, as It were, and are still Uelng so made, if we can believe reports. t am Informed from gotnl sources that two men took from tiie beach, at hTopkuk, altout.. thirty-five miles east ; ' of here, something like f3.".t0w in; thirty days during . the month of May. On the other hand, t here i art? thousands of iwrsons. with as mnch eUcrgy and enterprise, who have heert working the lx;ach for sev l knew' two men to take out $lMH) in seven hours,, and three men to take out $" in eleven hours. Jllie beach is a failure, so far as the people who eamec this year are concernwl. Of the many streams that run into XomeA river and Snake river, there are four Ivlilcli are immensely rich, name ly: Snow gulch. Extra-dry creek. An vil creek and tllacier creek. From all of tnese creeks they are taking out fabulous stims of gold, but the claims are all owned and operated by capital ists, and inert of small capital cannot even get lays to work upon the claims. Them are, many other creeks running into these two rivers, trot while they are all . supposed j to be gold bearing, they.; are not considered rich enough to work successfully, owing to the short seasons. With nil this, there are claims In the mountains near here, but inasmuch as a lot of grafters and land sharks ( lmve gone over the. country during the winter and staked every inch of land that was to be found, and have made filings thereon under their own and fictitious names, the natural result Is a stagnation of business in he ; way .of prospecting, and a desire on part of many people to go home ueftire the winter sets in. j A man can buy a mining claim from $2.T.to any price; he may wish to pay. If a man, takes a claim to work on a lay" he Js entitled to keep from 40 to TAt per cent of what is taken out, and he Is to be at ) all expense himself. Theundra, which was r,ioi'te4l to be. alsmtt sevea5 feet higher: than the beach is fioin seven to seventy feet higher than t lie llteach. and no one yet knows whether ;at the bottom there is-a gold deposit or anything of value. Ice is to be found at from three to six feet no idoubt;many rich and undiscovered atimost iany point on the tundra, ami as the lee melts away the tundra will shake for many -square rods about one wholhapiens to-be walking upon It. It .will take much money and expen sjve i machinery to work the tundra, even though it "be rich, which is yet doubtful, i 1 While' I believe! the law to be that no one Iperson. can locate more than one mining claim In any mining dis trict. I find men every day who haTe located jfrom loo' to 150, claims, and who assert: that they will shoot any one who attempts to jump any . of them. Marders and suicides are quite prevalent. ; ; There have been three doable murder since wecame, several single murders, aiid four suicides that I have heard of. ; Oovernor Fletcher, with his party, are some place up the beach between here ami Port Clarence;: prospecting A suggestion lias Just teen made to me that if someone from Salem would selidl a "jmik map" to Nome, that he eonld get rich buying up machinery that is! strewir along the ; leach for mil. There afe many fine horses which "iyere trought here for work in draylng. etc.. now standing Idle, and they will, without doubt, be fed to llbe dogs this winter. There arc many curious,! and Interesting things here, but they are ail better, forgotten than remembered. There may le fortunes Ih store, for all of ns before we return borne. The law business? bids fair to tsl gost If the contestants are not k filed off by each other. With all the foregoing. If anyone is unable to judge of the advisability of coming to Nome, tell them I said to stay at home. Very truly, -' . m. n pooun WHITE HOUSE CHINA FOLD AT AUCTION.

The parties con cerned are tmth clerks in the depart ment .mentioned: at least one of tJi.'-in Is. while the other was, up to a few days ago. i It seems that very recenlly a popu lar. voting man of the Northwest Was Invited to a card party. Among other guests he inet for the first time-; was a young lady, unquestionably pretty. If not IteaHtiful, and unqiwstloiiabi'y attractive. For a few Meeting! mo ments he chanced to be her partner at one of the tables. A gresit deal may haplien during a brief ihtIh1. how ever. While the cards were being dealt the conversation was directed toward the Paris exposition and the roniig lady remarked; "I would marry anylsMl.v who troul l take me to Paris for the exposition." Do you mean tluit?" Inquired- her card partner.- I most certainly do." was the reply. VI am going to I'arls,' then an nounced her partner; "will you marry me?" , . "Why, of course," was the laughing agreement. . The bell at the head of the table rang, the parties changed their seats and; the Kitle affair was apiwirently n thing of the st. It chanced that the yo.ig man was asked to csco'it the yo.tiig Lidy liome .that night. .. Before reaching ler residence Utails had 1mtcii arranged and they were actually mafrhil the following day. .

Will nBU SapplUa AC 1 IUa Tear Letter from New York Grower. (Daily Statesman, Salem, Or., Juy 2."..) 'The ItsXl hon enm in OregM will suffer to an extent from the Ik-i" with which every yard b now iufestod. said a prominent anL Intelligent grower yesterday afternoon. The de claration was made not for the pur- IKse of creoting any unuess:ry con sternation among growers, but le cause It embodied the honest convic tions of the sneaker who holds such a position that he Is conversant with actual conditions. . The grower tiuottHl says there arc many growers who do not havo the ax-ailable mouey with which to spray their ysirds and they are resolved not to hypothecate their crop for the funds to do so. -The -cost of spraying is about $3.50 per acre for each treatment ami It is customary to spray a yard at least twice. These conditions, claims the grower, will eventuate In a reduced yield. Allowing for the damage that may ensue ti the hop crop from lice, and barring any unforeseen misfortune, the same grower predicts, the yield for HKst at NO.OOd Iwiles, or the same amount as that of last year. The ordinary yield for Oregou Is 10O.ho bales but last yisir owing to the mold, an acreage representing 20,1) bales was left unpicked. The Oregon Hop Orowers Associa tion is this year not dealing in spray ing materials althongtrlt gladly pro cures such for Individual memlH-rs . when they make application, lcing able to obtain the samtf at more rea sonable rates. The -Association will this year purchase supplies for the growers. It has already placd an or der for two tons of sulphur and '.UK' 000 yards of burlap. The Association furnishes supplies to individual grow- crs at nclual wholesale rati, making nothing out of the transaction, t! row ers are required to pay. the cash uihui receiving the goods. James Winstanloy, manager of the Oregon Hop (Jrowers Asstieiation, re .elves veklv bulletins on the hop sit uation In New York, from Morris Terry, of Watervillc. Mr. Wlnstan ley reciprocates by sending weekly reports to Mr. Terry regarding .the Oregon crop." Under date of the ISth Inst,, Mr. Terry writes: ' , "Our crop is now estimated nt not to exceed 40.000 bales -and If we should keep having storms such, as we. have hatl fr the past month, we will not i have many to harvest. The IMh and l!Uh of June. we. had the hardest wind on hops that was known, and hops have not grown, much since. Iast Sunday- we hat", a hard wind storm nnd a good deal of damage w as done. and. last night another hard storm so you s there is no certainty alout having many to .pick.-. "It has Ims'u very warm. "Iwis county has produced the last few years same 3o bales. Tills year It will not produce over tuto bales. I could send you a list of growers that have ploughed up- their yards that would cover several sheets of paper. The acrcnge Js wonderfully .retlucetl. Up to date the Kngtir.h crop Is looking bail. Now if the growers will let thHr hops stand In their hop houses, they will get something for " their hois. There will not 1m 200.000- bales rals m1 fhls year in America. UeMirts say that California .will produce , quite- a goxl deal less than last year, whlh' we hear that the Oregon crop Is heavy. Our hops have bloom out some ten days earlier than common." - . The Trans-Siberian railroad will b completed at the present rate of work ing In nlMMit two years, the cotK.prob ablv considerably --exceeding' the orig inal estimate of SlT'ko'io.om.' Some of the engineering features are of par TTeular Interest. There are tnauy bridges on 'the line, the Silerian riv ers generally running nortliward into tiie Arctic (X'liin, tr across the line. The most TniiHirtant bridges are those erossln-z the Irtysh. the Hif. the Yell t. Isel and the Seleinra rivers. The tirnt two of these are each nlsmt 2,'; feet long, and tin third -nnd fourth each alsmt a mile f in length. The Obi bridge is a fine structure of sleel on stone piers, Sti fsd niKive tin-rdinary water line nnd 50 fis't nlsivi the iihh line. The oIImt bridges mentioned are of the same tyic of construction. There are 1.420 wden bridges t In replacetl with steel and Sioiie struc tures. The whole of the third and fourth sectiotiS are to 1m relaid with heavier rails -and re-ballasted.
