It is supposed by some that gold will be found in Washington Territory north of the Columbia. They are making discoveries every little while two hundred miles up the Alaska Coast. They say they are making from twenty to a hundered dollars a day. There is all of the time great excitement about the gold diggings. We have two wagons, two mares, five yoke of oxens and five cows and two calves and our claim, which I would not take two thousand dollars for.
Good wagons are worth two hundered dollars.
Our mares are worth two hundered dollars each. The oxens are from a hundered and fifty to two hundered. The cows are worth one hundered apiece. The heifer calves fifty each and the steer calf worht twenty five. Beef calves sell from ten to twelve dollars a hundered, or fifteen dollars a hundered.
