Washington, Jan. 25.-J. G. McCook
United states consul at Dawson City,
reports that there has been contin-
uance of typhoid fever at that place
in the last few months, the hospitals,
accommodating about 200 patients, be-
ing always full an1 many sick persons
having to remain in their cabins. Some
scurvy cases are being received in the
hospitals.
Scurvy i'm this section as q rule, is not
brought on by the salted food eaten. It
appears to come from the system being
run down by typhoid. Very few per
sons here escape the fever. Many a
strong younC man. who carried with
him over the trail the very best canned
vegetables, fresh meats, etc, has
brought on scurvy simply from over
work and exposure.
The stampede for claims has been
ended In the Dawson section, as the
country is all stakCd. The only ques-
tion now is relocatior.
\ rush over the ice to the Stewart
River district, some seventy-five miles
from Dawson is expected soon.

Thistle creek and other smaller creeks
iu that district The owner of DiscOv-
cry claim. on Thistle creek, has refused
$4,000 for It. All of Thistle creek
thirty-nve miles in length, was staked
i'm two weeks. The other creeks ther
came in for attention. In all new
stalking is, on territory not pre-
Niously staked--every alternate BLOCK
of ten claims is held for the crown, SC
that only - per cent. is really open
for stalking by miners. That law went
into effect last fall.
The prices of provisions in this sec
tiun are being advanced. The cost o
living tor a miner who has to buy hi'
food supplies averages SO per day
There is no reason for the prices asked
There are more food supplies there
than can possibly he used, and the sup.
ply companies are making immens
fortunes. If some firm would send il
a few thousand tons of supplies and b,
satisfied with 200 or 800 per cent. profit
ii would prove a blessing to the thou
sands of miners there.
Unless the cost of living becomes
more reasonable, the poor man VIII,
owns a claim cannot afford to work it
unless it should prove to he very rich

A Letter from Cincinnati Turned
Over to the Police,

Cincinnati. O., Jan. 25.-What may
be an important clew in the murder
case of Mrs. Kate j. Adams, of New
York. has been found in the fact that
before the murder of Mrs. Adams, Won
Mohl e CO., of Cincinnati, dealers in
medicines, received letter from H.
cornish, 1920 Broadway, New York,
asking for sample Of medicine adver-
tised in New York newspaper.
The letter was written on stationery
from the KniCkerbocker Athletic club.
Mr.. Brewster of Won Mohl q Co., after
reading of the murder and the connec-
tion with the case of Cornish, turned
the letter over to the police. 1t is now
in New York where the handwriting
can be compared with that of Cornish.
