In three months they have made a clean up of S55,0O0. He says they have a large bucket and bean can full Of nuggets, and although they have no scales they believe it will read the amount named. They have staked of five claims, and he tells his wife to send up four friends, whom he designates, as quickly as possible, 10 locate the adjoining properties, the law being that one man can locate only one claim. The letter was sent down by the Indian. who took 5000 or $500 worth of nuggets to lay in fresh supply for tho winter.

McMillan river is between 200 and 300 miles south of Kiondyke, and until lately has been an unexplored region. He expresses fear of scurvy breaking out this winter, unless they can get some green vegetables in, but he adds that nothing would induce him to leave the digging until next year, as by that time they are confident of l having several hundred thousand 1 dollars.
