SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE.

NoXapaga City, Oct. 6.-Work on Boulder creek was suspended the first week in October, and most of the miners have left for other parts. Some few are still on the creek, to continue work during winter. Several sod houses or igloos have been built, and supplies of wood stored up on different creeks to be brought uR on the snow. On the NoXapaga. river thousands of cords of wood is to be found. and some of the Boulder creek miners have cut wood there sufficient. to carry them through the winter.
 On No. above discovery Warren Nelson has built comfortable igloo and brought up machinery and sup plies to work the frozen ground.
 On No. 3 above Mr. Udegard did some sluieing the latter. part of the season and took out a.good-dealof gold.
 On No. above there are two igloos erected, one by Mr. Sljen and the other by Mr. sam TonnesOn and party.
 On No. l above a good igloo has been built by MT. Harvey and party, and on Nc. , below Nr. Jurgens and Ivan Brostrom have erected a comfortable house. IL is called the ."castle," be- cause the word iglOo does not fit the case. This castle contains over 300 poles of different sizes and dimensions. all of which were cut oa Noxapaea liver and csesried ar distance. of three nilessalp to sthe elaim. A fsst-class steam thawer will De at work on this claim during the winter.
 At themouth of Turner creek several i~loosswere built during the latter part of September. Among these may be mentioned the recording office, d com fortable igloo, built by Lars Gunderson, United States Commissioner and re- corder for the kusatriem District, where special care has been taken for the comfort of miners transacting busi- ness there.
 Alr. Larson has erected com modiouS roadhouse at the same place, and three other igloos were finished before. The town is called Noxapaga City.
 Ike little. work done on Boulder creek during the summer has demon strated not only that there is gold in paying quantities. but the fact that it is d rich creek. 1 have worked' there most OI the summer and feel confident that Boulder will rival Anvil creek. The diggings very much resemble those of the famous Eldorado in the Klondike, and will be worked to greatest advan- tage with steam thawers. That $, the beauty of Boulder. It can be worked 12 months in the year, and is con- sequently not confined to the short season of three months. Several claims will be worked. during, the coming winter. and there is no doubt in my mind but that great quantities of gold will be: unearthed, and Boulder take the lead among the ... gold-bearing streams in Northwestern Alaska. The paystreak, as far as yet known, is of great extent, having been traced 80 feet in width and in one instance to a depth of l2 feet. This paystreak runs far into the hil1sides on the right limit, whem@ood prospects have been found. .s-ssg
 The moSupopular man in .kusatriem district is jts recorder and commis- sioner, Lars Gunderson. He is a-gentle- man from top to toe, a generous, ac- commodating, jolly, good fellow. No recorder in the, whole territory of Alaska keeps his books in better order than does Mr. Gunderson. and it would be hard e. fad a- man more suitable foe this office. NAVI.
