Nome, away down the coast in the litin ity of Unalaklik. Every little stream was reported to have good prospects, but t re- mains to prove the reports true.
 "The tundra was proSpected just back of the Alaska Commercial Companv's store at Nome. and at a depth of IS feet it yielded 32 cents to the pan.
 "No work Is being done on the creeks, but some are washing beach dust. They take [, into cabins and thaw it. and use one can of water for washing a great deal of earth. Some Of those who are washS ing have a ri;h streak Of the earth, and want to work it out before the rusherS come in the spring.
 "The people of Nome expect a rush, but they do not suspect it will be anything like we have heard lately that it Is to be. The oniv people who had arrived in Nome during the winter up to the time we left were those who had started down the Yukon on boats that were caught iu the Ice before they got through,
 But little selling of claims has been made. Those having good claims do not want to sell.
 Provisions arc no higher In Nome than in Dawson. Flour Is worth sS and bacon 3s cents. There was a shortage of cream and some such luxurieS for a while, but mushers went to St. Michael for goods not in the Nome market.
 "Ihe expedition that started to Siberia put back.
 The railroad people for which we are taking out adviees are known as J. :. Kim ball X Co. They have had surveyors in the field and selected a route from Port Safety to Cape York, I2S miles. We are simply taking out the engineers report. Kimball X Go. are shipping men and have vessels in the Nome trade. Whether they will build the proposed road or not, can not say.
 ''l should not advise anyone, no, even my own brother, 10 go to Nome. Thou sands of people will be there ant more than supply the demand for labor, lt will be a cheap camp. Notwithstanding that, Mr. MtRae and shall return. We have Nome properties. but they are not devel' oped. Nome may be good field for the trader"
 Mr. McRae says there $ plenty of sup plies on the river route for all now going in from Dawson.
 Mr. Nigle and Mr, MeRae will leave fo' San Francisco on the first steamer sailing south. They will take their dog team with them. The party on It's arrival in the city yesteriav afternoon attracted much attention. Barley. the photograph CT, took a picture of the team just after it arrived.

GAME FROM AONE
 IN FORTY -SIX DAYS NeRae and Nagel Mushed
 Right Into Town.
KALTAG CUTOFF EASY
Many Women Among the Pilgrims to Nome Who Are 10 Be Pitiod- Whole of Nome District Plastered With Location Notices.

R.R. MtRae and F. n. Nagel arrived in Skagway yeSterdAy over the ice from Nome with a team of six mallmute dogs. This IS the Second and probably the last party that will come out this winter from Nome over the lee Of the Yukon. They report that several parties started out or were to come later over the kltmiI route.
 lt was January when Nigel and Mt- Rae got away from Nome. They muShed every foot Of the way with one team, and made Skagwav in 46 days actual travelling time. They reached DlwSon FeSru1ry p, and getting away fiom there accomplished the journey Co Sklgway in Ie days. Not only this, but the much worked dogs drew a passenger all the way from Dawson.
 Up Co the time We left Nome, said Mi. N1gel las, night, "ihe weather had not been severe. The lowest the thermometer reached was 90 below zero, and the greater part Of the winter season we were there it was in the vicinity oi zero. There was little wind. and the climate certainly was not hard to endure.
 "We crossed the kalt1g cutoff and found it easy 10 travel. In the journey up the river we began meeting people out Of Oaw- son Tor Nome at Rampant. Al first there were but a few, but after few days thev came in parties of 70 and 2S, and large numbers were thereafter met daily. Some of the travellers were weary. and especially SO was the case in regard to women.
 Several women are among the pilgrims, and they are really to be pltied. In fact. women should be prohibited from making the journey. Some of them we saw when they were orly 200 miles out, vet they made camp at night tired and iaded, and tha, when thev had virtually only started on the journey
 h regard 10 the trlp. Mr. McRle says; "The trail was good. The recent warm weather had taken of the snow only on a lew spots beyond Bennett. Had much of it been on we would not have made the time We did. Lake Bennett was not in a ead condition We made the run from Bennett Co the Summit in four h)urS. The last Iz miles this side Of the Summit were the worst The road was simply stripped Of snow. and nothing but mud re- mainet. This was extremely hard on the dogs, tor the reason that thev were tired after their long ilunt.
 People now en route Co Nome should oe able to gei through provided they are fas; travellers and gvt away from Dawson bv March IS. From Pamplrt to Dawson the trail was covered with blood from the feet of the dogs of the musherS. We met up- wards of 700 people. and they should have beaten a good trail for the last C. pass over
 Mr. Nlge says the Nome country Is pllSteret with location notices in every direction. and that men have been engaged sll winter stalking everything stakable. Re says further:
