Editoh Jeuhnal: For the benefit
ofoiir many friends, who have asked
usto urito Ihem in regard to this
country, and since mall Is so very un
certain hero and correspondence
nlitiut Impossible, we inougui noesi,
for us to write you a few lines for
publication.
Wo had a Duo trip from Seattle to
MImi, and Ihem we reshlpped by the
Reamer Heilha owned by the Alaska
foiniiivrciiil companany, nnd we want
to say that a nicer crew, from the
captain down cannot be found. We
l.tiulcil at the trading post Tyoonck,
May Itli remaining mere ten days,
imilillngour boat and making prepai
allms to cross over the bay which Is
some .lO miles and quite a dangerous
boJy of water. It Is reported that
five men were drowned but wo only
know of two. They were drowned 8
miles from here, out from Sunrise
Pity. We made tho voyage without
any .erlous trouble. Our first stream
upon which wo prospected wus the
Clilclloon. We had to contend with
floating Ice for two days going up,
which was quite dangerous to our
IxKit. Then we put In ten days pros
iwcthig tills stream and Its tributaries
Hading nothing only some very light
Hour cold which Is found on most all
streams la Alaska. We have been up
Resurrection creek, Bear creek and
Six Mile creek and found thoy arc all
, Invariably tho same with the excep
tion of a few deposits of gold. Vok
cm lease cliiluis on Insurrection, Hear,
Bird, Canyon and Six Mile creeks, and
: we have no doubt of many ot hers, but
wc are now speaking of only what we
i know to be facts. They furnish boxes
and tools and ask from " to 20 per
i cent of the clean-up. so you can sco
! that those claims do not amount to
mush or they could notbo got at
those figures. This is nothing more
than a boom and a fraud upon the
, face of It.
So funis this being u now camp
l that is not true for it has been worked
! the last seven years, nnd-f rom tho np-
pjamnro of tho men who have, worked
here during thnt time, tho claims are
no good. We met a man known by
name as Commodore- King who owned
It Is claimed the best claim on Resur
rection creek. He sold it for 8100 to a
sucker. Ho told us himself Mint lm
would not give $25 for nil the claims
on the creek and hols an old miner
and has been In Alaska 11 years. He
says ho docs not know what caused
this excitement as there has been
nothing found here for to Justify the
Present rush: ho leaves It at Mm door
ofLadd, Ducy, Wakeiiold nnd some
others In Seattle nnd San Francisco.
This Is about all we have seen of

We started out next morning for

And with the "Flying Dutchman" we

J'or while going around the Point
they Kept out too far

For tfold Up the Clilclloon wc will now
tell you plain
Was never known to thnt Sweede, Ole
Oleson by name.
Now then to Resurrection or that
city tliev call Hone.
Very finely located, but many is the
man there broke.
Old timers and squaw-men are In tho
A. C. Co's. debt,
And Micro many gravel bars quite
anxious for to let.
Now there are some boomers, Ducy
and Liidd by name.
And likewise some boosters who arc
ashamed to tell their name.
Ladd lie runs a llshery and Ducy has
got a store,
While Waketield is In Seattle and
dares to return no more.
Men nre here from all part,R of the
Union, even old Mexico.
And many the curse nod bewailing as
tjiey repeat their tales of woe.
Men are hero from the Sandwich Is
lands and other parts or the world.
They miss their homes and families
and many a pretty girl.
It did till' our hearts with pity us we
sailed alouu the shore.
To see so many miners who said their
feet wo ro sore.
They said the country wns hurd, the
mlsqultoes they could not go,
Willie traveling over the mountains
through tho moss and snow.
Now our fcllowmcu, we wnnt to tell
you true,
Tray never come to Mils country for
there Is nothing here to do,
And while you are In Turn-Agaln-

And on the top or the mountains there
arc many feet of snow.
P. S. Well, boys, we have been
rather slow In writing you alxuit our

squiite undcrsruudlng about this
country berore writing. Wo will send
you more later on. Tomorrow wo go
by our little boat to another creek
about 70 miles from here. The season
has now opened so wc can get around.
A couple of us may return this fnll,
but the most, of us expect to winter
somewhere this courtry.

Pcffer Will Support Bryan.
Wichita, Kmi., July 18. Senator
Peiler has written a letter to tho edi
tor of tho Kansas City "Commoner,"
the, lend log Populist paper of South
ern Kansas. It shows thnt ho has
withdrawn his opposition to tho In
dorsement by the Populist national
convention of W. J. Bryan, nnd will
bo un enthusiastic supporter of tho
Domocrntlc nominee. In his letter
the senator says:
"The conversion of tho Democracy
puts a new face on the political situa
tion. The wise and patriotic course
for us now is to unite our votes with
thoso of nil otlier friends of silver
and enemies of tho gold standard,
whqroversuch union is possible. We
can do Mils and still maintain our
party organization for future use in
case of need."
Senntor Pelfer's friends hero persist
In the belief that he was misquoted
by tho papers throughout the country
In an Interview which wns printed
last Saturday, whero ho was made to
say that he favored Bryan personally,
but deemed It ultogctlicr unwlso for
the ropullst party to Indorse him.
The "Commoner," In commenting
on the senator's letter, says the sena
tor refutes the garbled press reports
printed in the daily papers which
necessitated "Interviews," condemn
ing tbu senator by "leading Popu
lists." With tho accession of Peffer
to the Bryan forces the Populists of
Kansas uro practically a unit for the
Democratic nominee.

BRYAN HOW AT HOI
Great Ovation Tendered Him
at Lincoln.
MET BY 20,000 PEOPLE.
The Largest Assemblage Ever
Nebraska's Capital.
in
Lincoln, Neb., July 18. Amidst
an uproar and booming of cannon,
pealing of church bells, soioumlngof
Htenm whistles and shouts of 20,000
people, Wllllntn J. Bryan entered this,
the capital city or Nebraska, last
evening. It was an ovation the like
of which tho people or this part or
thccountiy never boforo witnessed.
Half of the population of the city was
ut the depot to meet him. It wus a
non-partisan reception. The mayor
of the city, tho city council and dis
tinguished citizens or every political
belief were at the train. A.s far as
the eye could reach were thronged
streets, crowded windows and enthus
iastic shoutcrs on tho roofs of houses.
'.mere were nanus or innslc, men car
rying banners with mottoes compli
mentary to the Democratic leader,
and lings and bunting hung from tho
fronts of the business houses and
dwellings. All this enthusiastic dis
play occurcd in spite of tho fact that
the sky was overcast with a dull,
heavy cloud, and a drizzling' rain was
falling. All day long excursion trains
had been bringing In people from the
surrounding country and at night
the whole town was (n a turmoil of
enthusiastic delight. From tho time
Bryan and ills family left Kansas
City until they reached home, there
was a continuous ovation.
As soon as Bryan ana his family
alighted from the train, they were
driven to their homo, whcio friends
and neighbors had prepared a feast
for them. The house had been elab
orately decorated with Hags and bunt
ing, mid the lawn wus hung with elec
tric lights. From their home, they
were driven, escorted by tho march
ing clubs and military bauds, to tho
state house, where thoy received tho
citizens of the city. The great corri
dor benentli tho dome or thocupllol
was banked with 'cms and tropical
plants. Mr. and Mrs. Bryan stood
beneath the dome, and the thousands
of enthusiastic citizens passed through
and were presented to them. When
tho reception was over, Bryun went to
the platform erected at the north end
of the state house, whero he addressed
what Is said to have been tho largest
cnngrcgntlon over assembled In Lin
coln. Ills speech was short, for thero
was a drizzling rain falling. There
was no Introduction speech. Bryan
was among his own people and needed
none. Ho said:
"I am proud tonight to bo able to
say to thoso who aro assembled here,
'These are our neighbors.' I beg to
express to Republicans, Democrats,
Populists, Prohibitionists and nil
parties, the grntltudo which wo feel
for this inugnltlccnt compliment. I
say 'We' becauso showho has shared
my struggles deserves her full sharo of
all honors Mint may como to me. The
scene today recalls the day nine years
ago this month, when by accident
rather than by design, I Ilrst
set foot within tho limits of tho city
ot Lincoln. I remember the day be
cause I fell In love with the town, and
Mien mado tho resolve to make it my
future home. I came among you as a
stranger In a strange land, and yet no
pcoplo ever treated a stranger moro
kindly thun you have treated me.
But I desire to express tonight, not
only our grateful appreciation of all
the kindness, social and political, that
you have shown us, but to give to-you
this assurance that If by the suffrages
of my countrymen I for a short Mine
occupy the most honorable position
within the gift of tho people, I shall
return to tho people who first took me
In their arms. This shall bo my
homo when earthly honors have passed
away, nndil shall mingle my ashes
with tho dust or this beloved state."

His coining was tho signal for

due to the fear that the Illinois dele
