From the Island Capital.

A letter received by Walter A Burleigh,
brother of Andrew F. Bureigh, the well
known attorney and politician, indicates
that another rich mining camp has been
discovered on Norton bay. Poker creek
is the stream on which the find was made.
II is nearer St Michael than Nome, being
but forty miles distant.
The letter was written November p from
st. Michael. mailed three or four days later
and received in Seattle through the regular
mail February 25. Its writer is a man in
whom Mr.. Bureigh places every confidence.
The latter passed a winter In Alaska with
him. He Is one of the North American
Transportation & Trading C0mpany's EN-
ployes and il is this company TO which
reference is made in the letter. In part
the man writes:
est. Michael is all excited over the dis
covery Of gold on Poker creek. II is about
forty miles up the coast Many Of the COM
pany employees have quit. and gone over.
l am one OF ten that have three claims
on Poker creek: and we fell into 1t lust
by chance. All fall there have been good
reports coming from Norton bay. So. when
1t froze up, Mr.. Zook. Capt Sims civilian
h, myself and four others started out for
Poker creek. making ten interested par
ties. We went direct TO Norton bay, It Ak
ed eight claims there on the most prom
Using creek. and brought back very good
prospect
ION our way back we got tired following
the hills and struck down a creek for the
beach. which happened to be Poker creek
and found discovery. The next day we
met hundreds on the trail going TO this
creek"

ed last night hy Joseph r. Bidweii

Of the objects OF the association Is to

Slllem Bros, who came here about
seven years ago sold their fecOs valley
possessions near the lower Greene
farm last week, 10 a sheop man from
Texas named J g. Keith. The
ranch consists OF 100 acre home
stead with a siO10 residence aud
water rights foF the land, also an eigh-
" acre tract purchased six or seven
years ago, from the r. /. n /. Co with
$1,000 residence and paid up water
Fights. The whole ranch was sold for
only 1900, though Il cost sillem Bros
$500, OF more. The sheep man who
purchased Il will probably get $1,000
out OF Il Ia a few years This shows
how men can either make or lose
money In this valley. Men who were
broke seven years ago, are worth eco
90 10 $4,000 to-day, while men who
came here with immense fortunes are
broke.
