KL0NDlKE LETTER
From One Who has had Thrill
ing Experience Of One and
Half Years IN Search
Of Gold.

The following letter was received re-
Gently by j. Clayton Nichols Of this
city.
Teslin City, B c.,
July 20 1899.
Friend Clayte:-I thought l wo lid
tell you am here. We swamped our
boat and lost everything we had. We
were very lucky to get out alive. We
hai to walk Ger hundred miles al d
rustic most of the things we ate. We
have been rustling since the first of
May. We had one sack OF flour we got
out OF the river.
jackson aud Buttertield are awful
homesick and will not go any other way
than via Telegraph Creek.
The last we heard of the Wells party
they were hauling Perry on eled.
Wher write ,ou again l will give you
the particulars Of our trip. Address
me at Fort Wrangel Alaska.
Yours as ever,
Riley A. Hopper.
In the winter OF 1878 j. Clayton
Nichols OF this city headed party of
eleven men on northern expl ring and
prospecting expedition. On the line of
Alaska and British Columbia he divided
the party, leaving seven men under
George W. Caldwell Of this city. Mr.
Nichols with his party started for the
unexplored region at the head OF the
Liand and Niscutlin rivers. The party
ran out Of grub and lived for weeks on
what they could kill with their guns,
sometimes setting geese, groundhogs
and wild onions being luxuries.
Seventy-five miles from its source the
Niscutlin river flows through canon
something like the canon of the Grand
above Glsnwood only the rapids are
more difficult OF passage. BY miricle
the party went through safely and drift
ed down to Dawson City where they
landed, all suffering with scurvey. From
Dawson City the party went to St.
Michaels on the Behring sea thencs to
Seattle.
Two Of Mr.. Caldwells party returned
to tho United States last September.
Mr.. Caldwell left the party last Decem
Der and travelled several hundred miles
on foot without . tent or stove, some
times the Thermometer ranging 70 de-
grees below zero. Most OF the time he
travelled alone. He reached the United
States sometime last month spending a
few days in this city when he joined his
family in Maine. The other five OF
Mr.. Caldwell's persisted in following
Nichols trail which they did for one and
one half years when they reached Tes-
lin as described in the above letter.
Since the writing of the letter it has
been learned that the Perry Wells re-
ferred to died at Telegraph Creek Of
scurvey and his brother w. 81. Wells
has returned to the United States.
For courage and tenacity Of purpose
there are few examples that will par
allel the experience Of this party.
Mr.. Hopper is we'll known in Ouray.

Okmulgee, Oct. 1.-The establishing
of towns by the TOWNSHIP commission
ers will add greatly to the financial
credit of the territory. At present,
trust companies, as an example, do a
very limited business, owing to the
fact that il is difficult for men to quail
fly on bonds. Real estate and i'm
proyements are non-taxable and ex-
cmpt from Judgment executions, Only
personal property can be attached. AS
result men can be found in different
towns who own buildings worth thous-
ands of dollars on lots purchased from
Indians, but Judgment proof. When
the towns are plated and government
titles given to the lands, all this will
be changed, as the real estate and i'm
provements will be subject to taxation
and judgments for debts.

San Francisco, Oct. 9.-Thc Tartar,
with the Twentieth Kansas, was con-
sidercd due here yesterday, but the
generally received opinion was that a
few days would pass before the arrival.
As soon as the Tartar is sighted the re-
eeption party from Kansas will go down
abe bay to greet the regiment, but will
not be permitted to board the Tartar
nntil after quarantine inspection. 1t
will be twenty-four hours later before
the Kansans will be permitted to land.
General Shafter told Governor STAN
ley that it would require three weeks
from time of arrival, and may be four
weeks for the muster ont. This would
bring the regiment to Kansas after
November 1.
