ter,

dispatch from Victoria. B. c., says: Law
renee Sinclair, Jasper Kossuth and Georg
W Hazen, the two former of Dawson and
tie latter of Portland have returned from
Nome by The Yukon route, and they give
a gloomy view of the gold fields reputa-
ton. Mr.. Kossuth says he reached Nome
from Dawson June 10, while a binding
snow storm was raging. The city is all
in one Ions street wherein live some 49,
600 10 2G,000 people. There is another
tract Of land supposed to be street, but
fl is \ swamp where q mosquito would
n.ire. 1t is little used. There are great
quantities OF goods Of all descriptions piled
high on the beach, including tons and tons
OF machinery and gold machines of all
kinds. For a distance of about eighty-five
miles from Tookok to ten miles above
Nome the ground has been worked over
thoroughly. The creeks are very small
and narrow, and owing to the great size
of the claims staked, no room is left for
more stakers.
Lawrence Sinclair who left Nome July
L. says Nome IS the most lawI, SIS camp in
the wcrld. He was in the Cripple Creek
stampede, and with all the wild lawless-
ness Of that place, there never was any
thing to equal the unabashed deviltry OF
all kinds running lpose in Nome. AS you
land on the beach with your baggage, If
you take your eyes off it for five minutes
you may expect never to see it again. The
beach was long ago worked out, according
10 Sinclair One young man who came
from the coast to work the beach and had
spent all his money to get there, blew his
brains out, and i'll a note he left said he
had done so because he could not get liv-
ing expenses out of his mine.
Ernest Drechenes, who left Nome on
July. 3, and came upon the steamer Sarah
Il Dawson, said: ''At Nome during three
DAYS about the end of June there were
five shooting scrapes and five men buried
as the result. Many people have been
drowned in crossing the mouth of the
Yukon. Many bodies have been washed up
on the beach and there are others that
will never be found. One steamer picked
up three boats we'll out in the Boring sea.
Their occupants had been washed out by
the tide from the Yukon, and were in
despair when picked up. The bodies OF
seven men and two women were picked up
close together"
Hugh Madden, another arrival, says the
fuel famine has worked a great hardship.
Whenever any one is fortunate enough to
have a little fire, there are lot of people
waiting, frying pan in hand for chance
to warm up something to eat. He says he
has seen as many as thirty people waiting
at one time for this purpose. Water sells
at three pals for a quarter, and meals at
81 each.
