Dawson, Y. T., March &2l.-John Bechtal. of this city, has received a letter from his son Charles w .,rwho is ,iocated in the Koyukuk. The con- imunicatiOnwas somewhat brief, as the young man, had but little time in which to write prier to- the departure of the eparty who brought the letter out. It was dated Coldfoot, January 20, and sccnveyed the Information that he was spacked up and just on the eve of start ang on a trip pp the Hammond river. swhere he learned of a piece of ground <he could stake. That was his first trip ''Qp the creeks. He wrote that from his personal knowledge he knew nothing of tthe richness of the new strikes re- ported, but said that everyone seemed to be contented, and that Lhe reports an circulation were all of the most. flat ,tering nature. The health of the camp sduring the winter months has been excellent, there being little or no sick sness whatsoever, and the writer states sthst he gained 20 pounds since his.ar-
 rival last summer. Such a condition fhas proven fortunate in more ways than

 which is turning out very rich.
 The stores at Bettles and Bergman have adopted new system this winter,
 which. though it may work a temporary hardship on some, will in the long run be beneficial to the country at large. No more credit is extended to anyone
 No dust, TO grub is the new motto in vogue, and it is thought such action Will result in giving greater stimulus to prospecting. The camp this winter has heen.woefully short of money of all kinds, dust as well.as currency, house logs and cordwood being the principal articles used asa circulating medium.
 Reports were received at COldfoOt early m the season of some old aban- doned diggings having been discovered in new sectionfar to the north of the present camp. Who the primitive prOspectOrs were, where they came from or where they went to is matter of conjecture. Old blazes were found on, trees, upon which was carved the date, 1862" Old tailing dumps could be plainly seen, and the finding of old sluice boxes, half rotten with age, p, oved conclusively that nearly half a century ago some one had been en- gagged in placer mining in that locality. About Coldfoot the opinion is that the miners of years ago were Rus sians, who at that time were the only white men in Alaska.

Up to the sailing of the Elk on May 6, congress had passed no legislation for Alaska. Friends of the district were hard at work with that end n view, but little had been accomplished.

No Steamers Sighted.

Uhe Elk saw nor spoke 1no steamers during her trip up. She left. Dutch Harbor week ago today and keeping to the eastward met with few difficult ies, although considerable ice was en- countered On the Yukon flats. The steamer was able to to n ake her way through the ice without difficulty.
 The Elk,hrought no mail.
 The steamers Jeanie and Portland are somewhere in the Boring sea ice pack.
 The Portland called at Dutch Harbor on May 5, en route to Nome. The Jeanie left Seattle on May l, the Nome City on April 24 The Elk saw none of these steamers, the Jeanie or Nome City not having called at Dutbh Harbor.
 August Johnson, who came on the Elk from the Aleutian islands, having taken passage tat Dutch Harbor, says that on May6 or ,..hc doesn't remem- ber which, he saw the Jeanie in' Ooyak bay, where she had taken shelter.
 l.. M. Olsen, who is an old-timer in Nome and who spent the winter at Unga, says the Newport arrived while he was at Dutch Harbor, and her cap tain reported the Jeanie in small bay the other side of Unga.
 It. is thought that the Jeanie, Nome City and Portland tried to make pass age by way of the Siberian coast and thus struck the heavy ice' pack, which undoubtedly prevails.
 E. B. Barthrop, the managing owner of the Elk, who came up on the vessel, states that he hadno idea ahat the Elk would be the first vessel to reach Nome. Very few late papers owere drought, and little freight. She brought no fruit of any kind but has some potatoes and . few cases.cf eggs.

 The captain of the Elk is Chas. F. Swan; who is we'll known in Nome: the engineer is H. W. Durham, and the steamer carries crew of 17 men. No Smallpox.

 In the meantime number of boats had started seward, while along Trout street rang the cry, "A steamboat.
