NOME RIVER GOLD FIELDS.
Interesting Features of Life at Anvil
city.

From the New York Sun.
Washington. aug. 1.-Two new Alaskan
p0stonicos are made the subject Of an in
terestng letter 20 the Second Assistant
Postmaster-li General from +. q. KmbaH.
a special agent of the department assigned
to that district Roth are in the Nome
River country about 121 miles from ST.
Michaois by water. The letter saws:
anvil City. the principal town. is 70
Gated on the beach at The mouth Of Snake
river, three miles west OF Nome City. As
I counted over 500 tents and buildings in
Anvil City / think 100 is very couserVa-
tive estimate of the population. There IS
no harbor al all, and vessels are compelled
to anchor out from 200 yards TO one-hat
a mite and land their passengers and car
90 from small boats. There is no fuel
here aside from the drifiwood, except what
is shipped in. The driftwood must have
come from the mouth of the Yukon river.
Most ell lines of business are repre-
senIed in Anvi Board is 81 per meal and
wages s. per hour. Lumber is selling on
the beach from SO TO $50 per Thousand,
according TO quality. About the only
means Of TRANSFORMATION for provisions
from Anvil 10 the mines is by pack n
on the backs of men and dogs. They are
paying $500 per thousand for transporting
lumber from Anvil City TO Anvil Creek or
Dexter Crcek-a distance Of from eight
TO twelve mites. For other freight they
pay from fifteen TO twenty cents per pound
to the same creek.
The creeks in which the most gold have
been found so far are Anvil. Glacier
Snow Gulch and Dexter. | saw clean
up of the sluice boxes on one claim for an
eight hours run. and they had about $500.
| saw a nugget from a claim lower down
the creek which was worth between SIS
III 4 fav hoe HaaE
taken from Snow Gulch, which is
branch OF Glacier creek. Snow Gulch is
very short there being but three claims
on It, on claim No. ! saw a clean up of
5000 for an eight hours run, the largest
nugget being about 80. on claim No. l
on this gulch they have about fifty men
and are working a night shift They made
one cleanup of $1,000 and one of 5000.
The wages paid on these claims are S.
per day and board, provided the men stay
until the last boat goes out in the tall
but only So per day if they quit before the
last boat went out.
In conclusion. 1 would strongly urge
that Anvil City be made a money order
Office as soon as possible. / am satisfied
that the office would do heavy business
from the start The postmaster is compe-
tent to handle il, having experiences in
the Skaguay office. AS he is not agent
for any commercial company, he ts strong
ly in favor of the plan. The people there
nave no means of sending money except
bv paving one of these commercial compa-
MES s. per hundred for a draft"
The other Office considered is Nome City,
of which Mr. Kimball writes;
Nome City lies at the mouth of Nome
river and consists OF from thirty to forty
tents Nome river is a small and very
crooked stream and can be assembled only
by rowboats or steam launches of very
light draught."
The recommendation regarding Anvil
City will be favoraby considered.

revenue case which is important TO ali
cotton mills and other businesses conduct
ing stores on the check system.
The government wants to collect two
cents revenue upon every order which the
mill operatives have been giving in OK
change for merchandise obtained at the
company store. The internal revenue au-
thorities claim that these orders are the
same as checks on regular banking instt-
tuition. and therefore liable TO duty lax.
This was so decided by +. a. Webster, rev
enue collector. and the authorities in
Washington sustained his ruling. but have
given Mr.. Lyles a chance to present his
side of the case fully.
These orders were given by the opera
ttves to the parties in charge of the store
The wording of the order is that the treas
urer Of the mill shall pay to the manager
of the store a stipulated sum to be charged
to the operatives account as merchandise.
IN reality these orders were never present
ed by the store TO the mill as checks, but
were kept as memoranda or vouchers and
the settlement between mill and store was
made at regular periods. These orders were
for amounts from five cents up and a two
cent revenue stamp would knock all the
profit out of nickel purchase. The reve-
nue. department claims that the mill is in
debted 81 30 on these orders.
