A party of Yukon miners from Cape

A party of Yukon miners from Cape
Nome, passengers on the steamship
Brunswick at Tacoma, join in a warn
ing, published over their signatures in
the Daily Ledger of Tacoma, to those
intending to go to this widely advertis-
ed gold region. They say of Cape Nome:
There is no question but that the
beach was rich in certain localities, but
those localities were found and worked
out before the rush of people reached
there this spring There is nothing left
worth working, for perhaps fifty to
seventy-tive miles each way along the
beach from Nome City. There may be
ground several hundred miles up the
coast or back in the interior that will
pay, but large majority of the people
who went to Nome this spring expect
ed to find good pay dirt on the beach in
the vicinity of Nome or expected to
work for wages and have not the means
to procure an outfit suitable for pros
pecting tour to parts distant from
Nome.
AS to the creeks, they say there are
good claims but they are all staked; and
that it is generally conceded that the
tundra as mining prospect is failure.
About $4,000 people are at Cape Nome.

sThe Passing of the Figurehead' is
the caption of an article on the 18th
page that will be read with interest by
many. In addition to the vessels there
mentioned as having life-sized figures
the writer recalls the ship Sportsman,
built by the Peirces in 1855 in their
yard above the lower bridge. She had
asportsman with his gun and game bag,
admirably carved by Rufus Emery of
Bucksport. Probably the last of the
skilled wood carvers in Belfast was
Fitz Gilbert, and now when a billet-head
or trail boards are wanted the order has
to be sent to Camden or Rockland. We
think the schooner Nimbus, built here
by Mcdonald & Brown in 1890, is the
only vessel from our yards to 60 to sea
minus billet-head or characterization
of any kind, and it seemed pity that
SO finely modelled craft should moi
have had these finishing touches. The
Young Brothers from the same yard
also launched in 1890, was fully equip
ped in this respect.
