BRAINERD. April 1T H. Mallory,
of Dawson City. has been spending
some time here this week with his
brother, B. S. Mallory. whom he had
not seen for twenty years Mr.. Mallory
came from the West, where he had
been to dispose of some of his mining
claims on the Yukon. The gentleman
has followed the mining business since
1851, was through the Black Hills ex-
element and worked in various other
mining districts. In March, 1895, he
went to Circle City, where he remain
ed two years and put one winter in on
Eldorado creek. where he, in company
with another gentleman, has two good
claims, and he is also interested with
some other men in a claim on
Bonanza creek, for which they paid
$45. 900. and last winter they took $685.
600 worth of gold out of it, the cost Of
mining being expensive. Mr.. Mallory
says that it will be at least ten years
before the gold fields of Alaska are
all explored and prospected, as only
Properties on headwaters have as yet
been tried. there being much territory
where white men have never been.
Only about One-third of the reports
In the newspapers can be relied on, as

will come out dead broke after having
spent years in search of gold. The
gentleman says his advice to anyone
who has a job and is comfortably stu
ated is to stay away from Alaska; only
men who have all to gain and nothing
to lose can afford to take the chances
The first two years Mr. Mallory was
in Alaska they had no beef or green
vegetables and on that account Scuryy
was very prevalent among the miners,
but during the last year beef and NUT
ton was plenty. The first potatoes that
came into the region where he was
located were only sold to those who
were afflicted with scurvy. At Dyea
Quitting goods are sold comparative
ly cheap, the best Mackinaw blankets
being but $40. and best rubber boots
but So per pair. He left the mining
country Nov. "a last. the party being
composed of five men and one woman,
each paying the man who brought
them through 5000 for the privilege of
walking behind the dog train which
conveyed the provisions and outfi of
the party, the distance between DaW-
son City and Dyea being made In twen-
ty-seven days.
Mr.. Mallory left last night for the
Pacific coast, where he will meet
party of men who have offered him
$40, 900 for his interest in the mines pro-
vided they are as he has represented
and they will go direct to Dawson. If
the sale is made he will return to the
states and turn his attention to other
pursuits. Several keepsakes in the
shape of nuggets valued from S. to SIS
were given to members of 8. S. NAL
lory'S family.

quite encouraging this week, oats,
