was plenty of accommodation at that time
on vessels leaving for the south. The Grim
inal class it was especially desirOus to get
rid Of, as they were becoming bolder about
the camp, and robberies and hold-ups were
OF nightly occurrence. When the Bear
sailed it was thought between 5000 and
$50 people were in the Cape Nome re-
gions; 1,5G0 Of these were TO leave on yes
sells coming south, so there will not be
more than , 600 or 800 people to winter
there. The diggings had proved exception
ally rich, and conditions were such that no
man who was able or willing to work need
have been without ample money for his
needs. Provisions and outfits Of all kinds
command very high prices, lumber and coal
being almost unobtainable at any figure.
After careful consideration and enquiry
I believe there viii be enough provisions
for all who winter. though none 10 spare.
Fuel and housing win be short, but there
are quantities Of driftwood along the shore
Of Norton Sound that can be had for the
hauling, and II the people are pToyident and
careful they can provide themselves with
fuel. l do not apprehend any suffering,
though there can easily be suffering with
out proper care.
The people are spreading out prospect
ing all the country from Norton Bay TO
Cape Prince Of Wales, and it is among
these portions that the danger lies. Barr
ing a fire in Nome itself, which is built
closely, the people there should make out
ali right. II there should be danger of
suffering part of the people can move to
St. Michaels where there is ample accom-
modation and provisions. II would be i'm
possible to haul any appreciable amount
from there to Cape Nome.
Il learned that there was a stampede
toward Cape York that with bad weather
and distance from supplies may turn out
more or less bad during the winter.
Everything points now to an extraordinary
rush Of people and vessels to all Norton
Sound country in the coming spring and

for number of years, and then came TO
this city. Mrs. Nfney's maiden name was

in and about Philadelphia.
For a number Of years past she has made
her home with her son-in-law, Captain
Bowen, who is employed by the American
Security and Trust Company as a special
clerk Mrs Viney was remarkable in
many ways. Up TO a few days before her
last Illness she was able to read without
the aid of glasses, and entertained her
neighbors with stories Of events of history
which even the Oldest Of them could not
remember. She was never known TO be
