 Hast year the Cape Nome mining dis. triot, produced, as shown by the reports of of the San Francisco and Seattle hints, S2. 2.2So. .ooo in gold. There should be pro- duced in this district this year many times as much. In the opinion of the best in formed, not quarter was taken out on Anvil creek last year that will be this year.
 "As to the beach hereabout, where one dollar was taken out last year, in the opinion of good judges, ten will be pro- duced this year. The machinery and the enormous number of men at work, will make the difference. The Topkok country is also very rich, as are other sections of the beach,
 "The whaling bark Alexander arrived today, being the first ship to reach here for eight months. She left San Francisco on April 5. and was twenty eight days in get ting to Dutch Harbor.
 "The whaler Is on cruise to the Arctic, but was chartered to bring freight here for the A. E. Go. The freight includes fresh vegetables and beet. She brought but one passenger.
 "The Alexander left Dutch Harbor May I2. and came by the eastern passage through the Yukon flats. It was really through lane of ice. The brig Pitcairn was at Dutch Harbor when the Alexander left, as well as several other vessels. The steamer Alpha had not got to Dutch liar Dor when the Alexander sailed.
 "Five days ago the Alexander saw two whaers and one large passenger ship. They came to the ice pack, hesitated and stood off. They seemed afraid to tackle it.
 "The first gold of the season, from the creeks has just reached town E. O. Lind blom brought it down from I, ? and on Snow, 8 on Dexter and discovery on Anvil creek. all properties of the Pioneer Mining Go. 1t amounts to about S2o,ooo. It came rom surface gravel as the workings are not near to bedrock.

 "The product of gold here this year will undoubtedly be much greater than last, because there will be the finest of improv- ed machinery in use.
 .'The season is also several weeks earlier.
 ''Besides this, there is the greatest cons fdence in the country. and all this will cause people to take hold with vlgor.
 "More gold has already been taken out of Dexter creek than was taken out all last summer.
 "The same is reported true of Rock creek. There are I4 or IS claims there and last year only one was worked. On Dry creek nothing was done last year. Thi!

At a point half way be- tween here and Penny river men have found a rich streak, and are taking out from 50 cents 10 $I.3o pan.

 Eggs are S2 dozen, though efforts have been made to raise the price to $2. SO. There are plenty of them. Ham was long since out. Flour Is worth S. It was at one time, at some of the stores, worth $7.5o.
