0, B. Beard, Esq., Decatur, Tex.
Friend Beard: I wrote you when
I first arrived as I did Minnie, but
write you again uow, aud try aud
give you a little better idea of Nome.
First the parties that had claims
here last year aud went away to win-
ter in the States, when they got here
thin summer found all of their claims
jumped or relocated. Jumped is the
miner's term, and there is no judge
here, which puts things in a bad fix
The people I am with had leased
claims from parties before leaving
Colorado, but said claims being
jumped puts them at a standstill,
but we are skirmishing for new. How
we will come out I can't say. There
ia some very rich claims on the
creeks, but all the fabulous strikes
and finds you have read of, you can
divide by eight. But, mind you, I
am not turning the country down en-
tirely, for there is going to be lots of
ing clone this summer, and
^ ne this

ptece* mining. We are going in the
mountains and hunt for a quartz pro-
position. Their is lots gold in the
beech sand, but very fine aud hard
to save with a rocker, and the situa-
tion in Nome at the present time is
not vary flattering; it don't look that
way to me, aud I can't tell it only as
I see. Nome is a sight. There is
now about 3 miles of wooden town;
principally on one street, and about
five miles more of tents. Wheu you
are out of town one day you can
hardly recognize the place, they are
building so fast; but to tell you the
plain, unvarnished truth, and come
squarely to facts, I think Colorado
beats it all to depth as a mining

proposition, but may change my
mind later on. You know wheu I
was with you last winter I told you
there was nothing left for me to see.
Well I have changed my mind a lit-
tle in regard to that. I have since
seen the whale, the walrus, the seal,
aud the reiudeer iu their native home;
only a few days ago I witnessed a
fight between a whale and a sword-
firth, the latter being victorious. In
my last I wrote you all about my
voyage from Seattle to Nome. Went
on board ship the 22nd of Mav, and
landed on the cape the 24th of June:
Stayed in the Dutch Harbor a week
had a great time generally. Que
thing about this country the sun
never gets tired, but shines right on.
Shine on! shine on! You can't write
or read any time here without the
aid of an artificial light and a hen
roost would be a useless piece of
property, and a man is liable to work
a day or(two without being aware of
the fact. Great country; the mid-
night without moon or stars, aiad at
night, or when it should be night, the
sun is as red as blood; has a queer
look to anyone from the white settle-
ments. You should see the dogs
here, all broke to work like horses,
and mind,gee and haw; and the com-
mand for them to go is mush. You
can hear that any where you see a
dog team. Hear the driver yelling
mush! mushi mush along! then if
that does not have the required effect
the whip is brought into requisition.
They haul any kind of merchandise
with them, as many as 12 to one
wagon; in winter sleds. At that time
dogs value bringing as much as from
$75 to $175 each; sounds fishy, don't
it? butjneyer the less true; a good
leader has been known to s&ll for as
much as $250.00. Snake river, a
stream about 150 ft. wide, over which
there is a toll bridge, 10 cents for
crossing, weekly ticket $1.50, beats
auy gold mine I have seen; horses
25c, and wagons 50c, women free. As
the river is navigable some distance
this is a draw bridge. Small steam-
boats and tugs can go up a few miles,
and row boats about 25 or 30 miles.
Mr. Reynolds has now 9 men out
prospecting, and I am now .in charge
of the commissionary department
and also buying aud selling outfits,
such as machinery, stores, blankets in
fact anything they have to sell when
they get tired and want to get away.
For iustance 1 bought yesterday a lot
of quick silver worth in Seattle $300;
I got same for $75. Yot see when
their feet get cold they waut to go,
and at once; there was any amount
of people come here expecting to
pick out the big nuggetB, fill their
boxes aud sack and go home, people
that were never in a mining camp be-
fore in life, people from Boston, New
York, Baltimore, St. Louis, in fact
every where, and every ship that
sails takes out a big load. We are
We are striviug to make some money
here but can't say how we will come
out. If a man had to board bene he
would be doing well if he makes a
liviug; but we have our own grub
which makes it different. I will give
you a few res taut ant prices; chicken
to order $5; porterhouse steak $4;
ham, out very thin, with two cold
storage eggs, $1; coffee and dough-
nuts or pie, varies sometimes at 50c,
lit others 75c; there you are. The
mountains are about 5 miles off, and
between here and there, is what they
call the tundra; that is Russian for
boggy land or marsh; nothing but a
kind of moss grows on the tundra.
When you dig through that which is
about three feet, then you strike ice,
frozen up before Noah's time. I
send you a small sprig of moss. Well
I have told you all I can thiuk of at
present aud as I have a very uncom-
fortable place to write, will close
with kindest wishes for you and
vours: I remain as ever your friend,

Share Their Vacation.
When the weather gets hot in Lon-
.don the leadiugr lawyers leave their
city quarters for the country to en-
joy what they term the "long yaca-
tion," a period of about ten weeks.
Close by the Inner Temple, one of
the headquarters and resorts of
these lawyers, are the neighboring
poor districts, where live small chil-
dren who don't have "long vacations."
And now come these great "long va-
tion" lawyers and say, in effect, to
these small children, to the boys and
to the girls: "Bogiuning with .June
12, you small bovs aud girls, the In-
ner Temple gardens, the green grass,
the trees and the flowers thereof, are

us) thrown open for your comfort
and happiness, to be by you enjoyed
from the hour of 6 p. m. until dusk
every evening; and so they Bhall re-
main every evening, Mondays aud
Saturdays excepted, until the end of
August, a period of about ten weeks,
more or less; aud this, for you shall
be in the nature of a 'long vaca-
tion.' "
And so it happens that the law-
yers are to share their "long vaca-
tion" with their small neignbors.—

Not Old Zach's Grandson.
Letters from Southern members
of the Taylor family indicate pret-
ty surely that Lieutenant C. C.
Wood, of the North Lancashire Brit-
ish regiment, who wa3 recently
killed at Kimberly, South Africa,
was a great-grandson of President
Zachary Taylor, but not a grand-
son of Jefferson Davis. Jefferson
Davi3 married General Taylors
daugther, Sarah. Dr. C. Wood mar-
ried General Taylor's daughter, Ann
M"., and the late Lieutenant O. C.
Wood was their grandson, his father
having been Lieutenant Wood, of
the Confederate navy.
The Indispensable Birds.
A French naturalist asserts that
if the world should become birdlesa
man would not inhabit it after nine
years, in spite of all the sprays and
poisons that could be manufactured
for the destruction of insects. The
bugs and slugs would simply cat up
orchards and crops.
A Manonic Event.
President McKinley has promised
to deliver an address at Mount Ver-
non, Va., on December 14, when the
Masonic observance of the 100th
anniversary of Wellington's death
will occur.

Poison to Be Easily Got. T
"Suicides by poison arc becoming
altogether too frequent," says the
head of the New York health board,
"and I intend to do everything in'
my power to reduce the number by
controlling the sale oi poisons, es-
pecially carbolic acid, a young
wife has a little tiff with her hus-
band, thinks that there is nothing
more to live for, and then rushes
off to the nearest drug store, where,
without the least difficulty, she can
get the means of making away with
herself. In nine out of ten of such
cases the women would get rid of
their absurd notion about suicide if
it was impossible for them to get the
poison without an order from a
reputable physician. There ifli a law
now, but tit doesn't amount to any-
thing, and the sale of poison to irre-
sponsible persons is carried on with-
out the least restrictions." # .

One of our exchanges speaks
of a millinery store kept by a
very estimable lady, and says
the editor was gratified to see
her stocking up. The editor
says he was never so surprised
in liis born days as he was
wheu the paper came out, to
meet the millinery lady and
have her strike him across the
brow with au umbrella, and
tell him he was a liar and she
would tell his wife. He says
he doesn't know what she was
mad about, and he has read
the item a hundred times to
see if there was anything in it
the least bit disrespectful.
Tim Result of llabtt*
The habits acquired by long cen-
turies of practice are not to be got-
ten rid of in one day. For instance,
the style of the long flowing gar-
ments or drapery of some kind that
has always been the vogue of women's
attire. A woman's gown is so much
the part of her and has always been
that she has always had to reckon
upon it in the disposition of her
hands. She cannot carry bundles
because she must hold up her skirt,
and she cannot hold an umbrella up
in a rain storm because she needs
her hands to keep her skirts from
being transformed into street nibps.
But this woman is not tho "rainy
daisy" girl who enjoys the freedom
of a short skirt. Still the persist-
ency of that old habit of holding up
her skirt remains. If you don't be-
lieve it just watch this girl when she
crosses the streets or goes up and
downstairs. If she doesn't instinc-
tively clutch her skirt 'in her hand
ihe is not* a true daughter ofc Eve.
