sINGLEToN's SECOND LETTER.

GOLD BOTTOM Nov. D, 1897.
AS usual there is a great shortage
of provisions here and everything in
that line is high. Flour is worth
about $75 a sack on the street and
Capt. Hanson of the Alaska Commer-
cial Co., Uold me he knew of one sack
go lb.) selling for SlS6.
Other provisions are proportionately
high except sugar Of which there is
plenty. Outfits change hands at 81. %
Il pound right through.
The A. q. Co., filled all their guar
anteed orders in full and the rest
nearly so, but the N. A, f. & II. Co.
only gave one 80 10. sack of flour to
the man and everything else in pro-
portion, not enough for one month.
The wage question is the theme Of
the hour now, as the mine-owners cut
the wages to 81 per hour on October |,
and the laborers quit work and will
not allow anyone TO work for that
price. do not know how the matter
will enc, but If we hire any men this
winter we will pay Sl.50 an hour as
men cauuot afford To work for less,
and still it is hard proposition for
the mine-oWners, for if tile Canadian
government enforces the royalty OF 20
per cent and sakes eyerY other claim
and only allows 100 foot claims that
will give them 10 per cent OF the gold
and what claim is there that can be
worked at profit for only 80 per cent?
Very few, can tell you, but we hope
the government will try not 10 enforce
any such unjust laws. Captain Con
stantine and Mr.. Fawcett, the gold
commissioner, say they will resign be-
fore they will try to enforce such
laws.

have received no word from you
since l left Seattle. Ifyou will write
several letters l may get one this
winter. Send one via Juneau and
the other via Victoria, l haYe not
accompli he'd much 50 far. We built
a cabin and L sold my half for $500,
and have done another hundred dol
lars worth of dental work, L am
renting house in town now and will
commence practice. | pay S75
month rent; that is pretty steep is it
not? l haYen't staked any claims yet.
Don't think there is anything in this
district left worth stalking. Mae is
making fur caps for sale She gets
Sl7 cap. We haven't many furs to
make them of or we could make
stake this winter.
There is a scarcity of every thing
here-especially grub. l have got To
buy three sacks Of flour, and if l get
them for $75 sack it will be cheap.
Mae has managed to get about $3.50
worth of stuff at the store, mostly
canned goods. A women can buy
where man cannot get dollars
worth, as the goods at the store have
all been ordered by the miners, and
they have to cut the old orders down
when they let any thing GO: but they
say that they look out for the famil.
les, so | am in luck to have my family
with me. About 1000 men had TO
leave on accuuno of the scarcity of
the provisions.
"WhenlDr. Faulkner, my partner at
Seattle, QUILTED me for this trip he
did not want Mae and little Johnnie
to go with me, as he thought they
would be hIndrance to me, so when
left, Mae outwitted me by going
over to Port Townsend, where she
caught the boat | was on and refused
to get eff. Poor Faulkner made dis
NAL failure. He started with fifteen
horses and big outfit. His horses all
died on him and he spent s., 900 for
more horses, and lost them and had to
turn back. L wish could hear from
you. 1t does not look now like
would get a letter before spring. l
think shall go down on the Ameri-
can side next spring. There is lots of
sickness here in the summer-by ty-
phoid ard malarial fevers.
"The cold weather is just setting IN
now. / will write at every Opportun-
ty, although writing tablet costs
80. II has been over four months
since | heard word from you. Good
BYE. Try and get letter to me.
