Francis Brooks, the w~ell-known
young Butte attorney, who left for
Honolulu a few months ago, writes to
a friend in Butte that he will be back
in this city about the Path of the pres
ent month for the purpose Of closing up
his business here preparatory to return
ing to Honolulu to locate permanently.
Honolulu is the most beautiful place
l ever saw-well named the garden spot
of the earth writes Mr.. Brooks. The
people are very hospitable, and seem
glad to show you every courtesy. Every
branch Of business IL fairly well repre-
sented-as well as in any other part Of
the country. DR.. Cooper, who lived in
Butte in 1891, is practicing here and
doing well. /" The sugar industry
is the great business here. Every one
seems to be making none and above
all seem to be perfectly contented. Liv-
ing are about the same as in
the East. The Hawaiian band, one OF
the best i'm the ountry plays in the
park about three times a week, and the
arrival or departure of a steamer is a
sort of a gala day. " " The bath
ing here is simply superb, the water be-
ing about 10 degrees. There are about
10 saloons here and everything is closed
on Sunday. / could write a book about
this country, but as | am coming back
on Sept. IA, arriving in Butte about the
24th. / will wait to tell you all about
il then. i shall return here this win
ter, or as soon as 1 can close my bust
ness in Butte

in Butte yesterday from Vancouver, b.
G. DIR. Tyndall gives some interesting
accounts of Klondike experiences which
he gathered from interviews with re-
turning miners n Canadian officials
who have been investigating some OF the
stories of hardships and suffering. The
facts, says the doctor, are never pub
lished. but on the contrary are studious-
ly eliminated in the press reports. For
instance. the last boat that came down
from Dawson brought reports that .112
persons had died in that city in n
week. but nothing Of that appeared in
the papers. Among the 400 men who
came down on the boa there were not
more than four who brought back as
much money as they had taken into
Alaska, yet the coast newspapers the
next morning reported that a half mill
ion in gold dust had been brought out.
The people who return from the klon-
dixie tell some awful stories of suffer-
ing. but none Of them appear in print,
DR.. Tyndall tells Of an instance where a
well-known newspaper man, who had
been sent to Dawson, came back and
wrote up the facts as he found them,
but neither his paper nor any other
coast paper would publish his report,
on the contrary, they printed rosy IN
terviews with persons who had never
seen the klondike country.
Miss Annie Carstens, cashier at the
| California Cafe. received the sad intor-
nation yesterday that her brother,
| Jesse c. Carstens, a soldier i'm the 10Th
L.. :. infantry. from Fort Sill, Okla
homa, a died from fever at Montauk
Point. shortly after his return from
Santiago, where his regiment partici-
pated in the campaign. Mr.. Carstens
went through the fight uninjured, but
was taken down with fever on his way
from Santiago to Montauk Point. His
last letter, written after his arrival at
Montauk, stated hat there were no ac-
Commodations for the sick there; that
he was compelled TO sleep in the mud,
without shelter, and that it was raining
and generally disagreeable. Carstens
had been in the regular army for seven
years.
Several troopers Of Torrey's rough
riders. who enlisted from the southern
part of the state, were in Butte yes
terday on their return from the camp
at Florida. They have the same stories
OF hard camp life to tell that nave
been related by the Grigsby men.
