Letter From Mondike.


The following letter from Allen Mil.
Ter, son of Capt. II. A. Miller, of
Tazewell, is just received.
Dawson City, n. w. T., Nov. G..
1897.
DEAR PAT wrote you coming mp
on my trip that l would write again
as soon as l reached my destinstion.
We had hard trip getting here, and
1t IS long and pretty dangerous
trip: We had a very narrow escape
coming through the canyon, knocked
hole in our boat and got our pro-
visions wet, hud to stay over four
days drying and repairing. We
stopped on our way down and locat
ed a claim on what is known as Hen
derson Creek. A few men are spend
ing the winter there, working the
claims, will have u good idea whether
my claim is worth anything or not
soon. 1 own one fifth interest in
claim on Quartz creek, but it is
unprospected yet. May be able to
get something out of them in the
Spring. When the rush comes in
people are crazy. Some imagine
that all they have to do is to come
in and get claim worth thousands
L have been on all the best claims
hero on Eldora and Bonanza. Out
side of those no claims have been
struck that are rich-can't say what
will be kone as the winter is. The
only time you can work is when it
freezes up. 1t gets rs cold here as
most any place, 70 below. They DIG
hole down to bed rock some 20 or
80 feet to bed rock then drift. bu,
have to thaw the ground every night
with big fire so you can work in
the morning. The ground freezes
4O or 90 feet deep. l never told
Hattie of our trip us | did not want
her to worry. She wrote me lust
after she received yours saying YOU
wanted Charley to come in. l can't
say it would be advisable, as it costs
about $4,000 to make the trip, and
can only work about I mos. out of
the Year Then wages are so uncer-
tain. There is strike on now.
None of the richest mines are work
ing. They only want TO pay Sl.OO
per hr. instead of Sl.5O. | have the
promise OF place ut 81 90 in a
week or ten days, but is awful hard
work. You can only work s or G
hours per day A great many men
are coming in. or rather have come
with II small lot of provisions, who
had to start out again with sleds to
make the way Out. Flour is worth
s75 to 500 per sack, and every.
thing In proportion. The stores
havnt any TO sell at all and can't
supply one half what they have been
paid for. l have enough to do me
until summer. Think | will come
out then. If no bad lick think |
may make little Something, but
cannot see any thing much for man
to come in for ut present. but it may
be better after this winter. 1t is a
game Of chance from one end to the
other. Saloons do IA big business
here, outside of that there is no
business here to speak of All the
houses are made out of logs as they
are the warmest. AS | have written
all can think of will close. Love
to all. Write me at Dawson CITY.
