COOK INLET'S GOLD YIELD.

Tenderfeet. Who Had Not Courage to

Deep, Returned without Gold
and Spread the III Reports.

The conditions In the Cook Inlet country
are set forth as follows in letter received
from Feneion K. Downing, a civil engineer,
located at Homer.
+-on account Of the extremely hisn water
In the creeks and rivers during the spring
retarded, and placer mining severely handi-
capped on Cook inie.- This eonuiacn Oh
almost iEcessant food was quite apparent
in the Turnagain arm district, as We'll a
along the eastern coast, from sunrise City
10 Homer.
Still, with water as a drawback, much
new placer territory has been developed
and worked TO advantage, and the sum-
mer's cleanup can safely be placed Al
$1,000 from the increased value or min
eral bearing lodes, due 10 systematic de-
yeIopment.
Early spring vessels brought a horde OF
tenaerfeet. embryo proSpectors. eager &c
jump ashore and gather the precious metal
and these were subject TO bitter disappoint-
nent when the golden sand was non est.
After stopping just long enough TO get the
effects Of seasekness out of their systems
they boarded the first returning vessel for
the States, with tales that our pretty coun-
try was no good.
Perhaps iwo-thirds Of the gold seekers
were made up of this unstable element, ut
terry ignorant OF the name OF bedrock and
who didn't know porphyry from iireclay-
But few jealous ones stuck to II. start
ed out in systematic manner. picked their
ground and worked 1t. These few have
been rewarded in almost every case.
ITO reach pay dirt one must dig deep.
Often pay streak Is found half way down
or the coiors lie pretty thoroughly dis
tr!buted throughout the mass. 1t Is sim
ply a case Of deep placer mining, where
tunnels, shafts and levels may be found
as in quartz mining, or when rock has not
been disturbed or disintegrated by the ac-
ton of water.
Without doubt the best time to prospect
on Cook inlet is in the spring and fall
and even the winter offers many special
advantages, when sinking shafts or driv-
ing adits Is contemplated. At this sea-
son the streams are frozen or dried up and
water seams absent on that ac-
count. 1t resolves itself into the
manner of the kiondike--dig out
in winter and wash out in sum-
mer. The tenderfeet come here In warm
weather. when mosquitoes are at their best
and the streams are raging torrents. Az

bly, seen the coast hills only and he goes
back home.
THE coming winter will find Cook inlet
much depopulated. Short working hours
curtail the daily labors and the long Arc
tic night is dark indeed and seemingly
without limit TO those who winter here.
No doubt next season will be a busy one.
Several good quartz strikes at Kachikmak
bay and Port Dick Will lend an impetus
10 development in these sections, while on
Snug harbor and TurDagain arm work will
be pushed with redoubled zeal. There is
plenty of gold in Cook inle. and the for

AMUSEMENTS.
Dan Sully's Clever Play, "Uncll
BOb.-

To paraph-ase the words Of an immortal
man Daniel Snliy's new production, Uncle
Bob may be set down a. play ''of the
people, for the people, being so full OF
touches Of nature with mingling pathos
ana humor, that 1t finds a responsive
chord in the breast of ali. keeping the
moisture in the eye while the laugh is on
the lips. Mr. Sully has always been pOpu-
lar here and the added attraction OF seeding
him In a new play tended to Till the SEATTLE
fheater with his friends, who gave him a
hearty welcome and in return were re-
warfed by a performance that furnished
more real satisfaction and healthy enjoy
msnt than anything seen this season.
The play OF Uncle Bob unravels a
OF an everyday man whose honest nature.
like the fragrance OF a rose, permeates all
his surroundings. In the hands of Mr.. Sui
Iy, the story OF the man who aims TO
shield the son Of an old comrade from
disgrace, IS idealized by the unconscious
cedsingly from beginning TO end and makes
OF Urcie Bob a loyable character, q per

even work was fully appreciated last even
ing and he was called before the curtain
at the close of every act.
The support is exceptionally good this
season and especially so in musical talent,
notably the piano playing OF George II.
Rareshide, and the singing and playing OF
Jenny Lssenden. In fact every member
OF the company appeared TO be possessed
OF some special talent and each added
strength to the pay so that a very pleas
ing performance was the result. Daise
Chaplin must not be overlooked and her act
secured for her triple encore. All of
them are singers and their voices blend

This evening Mr.. Suily will close his en-
gagement with 20 Brien, the Contractor"

"COOn Hollow"

Probably no play has been received with
such universal commentator as c. <. Cal
lahan's Tennessee comedy, "A Romance
OF Coon Hollow now IN its fifth success
full season. On its original production in
Chicago the critics of that city were a unit
in predicting its success. The New York
press was equally unanimous in comment
ing on the play during It's run at the
Fourteenth Street theater, and from Bos-
ton TO New Orleans there has not been q.
dissenting opinion on the merits of the
play THE soft Southern drawl' which
permeates the language of the characters
had a particular charm. The thorough
human nature embodied in the personases
of the play appeals TO the very best taste.
Joined to this, "A Romance of Coon
Hollow reveals magnificent seenery and
effects. novel and unique electrical fea-
lures. and carries a troupe of singing and
dancing darkies, male and female. Two
quartettes furnish its musical adjuncss. and
a we'll selected dramatic company inter-
prets its roles. All the scenery used is
carried by the show, which is one Of the
largest on the road.
