SHORTER HEARD FROM:-A1bert
Johnson has received letter from
William Shorter, at Dawson, dated
February 18th, and sent in the govern
ment mail leaving Dawson in the first
of March. He reports that Stanhope
d himself had been at work all win
ter on lay which had paid fairly we'll
until the first of February, when it
gave out, and they left it to work for
wages. They have six bench claims,
and are doing some work on one of
them. A claim several hundred feet
away is one of the big paying claims,
having welded as high as S139 to the
pan, and some good sized nuggets, so
they feel that they have good prospects
Of striking something in them. They
are on Eldorado, about thirty-fve
miles from Dawson, but the letter
states that cabins are strung all along
the way, so it is not lonesome. In
fact, all the available ground is staked
out for sixty miles from Dawson.
They report that all the Shelton boys
are enjoying health and are doing as
we'll as any. The country is very
greatly oyerrated and overcrowded, al
though very large amount of gold
has been taken out of the ground and
| will be sent to the States this summer.
A very few will come out with for
tunes, while the great majority will
have nothing but hard-earned expert
ence to show for their Alaska trip.
| Shorter says he will be out by July, as
he has enough of the Klondike. but he
expects to bring out enough to pay
| him we'll for his trip His letter is
simply another testimony that the
| Klondike is. no place for the average
mau, even if he is in condition to with
and it's hardships.
