Rev. Dr. Ryberg reports good pre- gress in the starting of Quartz Creek mission. He has secured the assistance of Rev. August Anderson, who has been for many years connected with the Swedish missions of Alaska. Mr. Anderson will serve without compensa- tion, helping the natives build their houses, teaching and preaching to them. Quite number of the families that have left the spit have gone to the mission, and are building their houses for the winter. Schools will be provided for the children and food and supplies will be furnished them at cost. It is hoped that an important mission can be built up at Quartz creek and that the citizens of Nome will take an interest in this movement. The mission will be formally O. ened thi: week.

GOOD PLACE
For Investment, Says
 Major Pitcher.

Maj. W. L. Pitcher, until recently commandant of Camp Skagway, in ] Alaska, is of the opinion that Alaska offers better inducements for business ventures and investments than almost any other place. Maj Pitcher was ap- ] pointed to the command in Alaska last November, but has recently been as signed to duty in New York, and left for the east.
 ''It i, really surprising what a little money, judiciously invested in Alaska, will do, said Maj. Pitcher yesterday. II have lived in Alaska for several l ing in a military way, have been en- abled to familiari1e myself with tie country and existing conditions, and do not hesitate to say that in no place can the young man with little energy do better than in Alasha.
 "The new cable, which is to be cons pleted in January, will revolutionile business conditions. Heretofore sim pie message, going by the way of Can ada, has cost the Alaska merchant no less than 8l0, whereas. when the new cable is completed, he can send the samc message and have much better service for d small fraction of that sum. Alaska people are eagerly awaiting tEe completion of the linc.'
 Major Pitcher voices the conclusion of thousands of people who have looked over Alaska. With discrimination and judgment Alaska furnishes the best out let for American money that can be found anywhere.
The Nome nugget., 1903-09-16

One of the mines we visited was the Hot Air mine. It is very rich, and there has been taken from it a larg amount of gold; $50,000 was taken out in "A hours, and the average has been about Sl, 1000 per hour since operations were commenced. We were permitted to walk over their ground and to select a nugget each, for which they refused to receive any pay, but bade us take them with us as souvenirs. Just before leaving Mir. Erickson. one of the own- CTS, took q painful of dirt which he washed, and it contained more than $J worth of gold dust. The pan holds about two shovels of dirt, and there are about 120 pans to the cubic yard. It will be seen by this that the gravel in the Hot Air mine will produce $500 per cubic yard. The Hot Air mine is owned by Messrs. Erickson, Soderberg & Guinan. There are number of these rich mines, but time would not permit visit to more of them.
 We spent about two weeks in camp on the property of the Cripple River Hydraulic Mining company, which is located about eight miles from the mouth of Cripple river, and contains 131 claims. After thorough investi- gation we found the property to be a very good hydraulic proposition.
 The dog is taking the place of the reindeer very largely for hauling mails, freight, etc., during the winter season. A dog team consists of from four to nine dogs, and can haul quite a heavy load. Charles Ross, who has a contract with the government for car rying the mails, informed us that one Of his teams covered more than sixty miles per day during one of their long trips with the mail.

WHAT A A-NEW YORK TRAVELLER SAW IN ALASKA

The following letter is written by J. B. Shale, of Brooklyn, New York, and published in the Brooklyn Standard Union. Mir. Shale is the president of the Cripple Creek Hydraulic Mining Co.,, which is doing much work in the Cripple creek district:
 We reached Seattle, Wash, at S.3Q pm. Thursday, on time. We took kquar- ters at the New Washington Hotel, which is erected Oh the hill, and affords magnificent view of Seattle and sur rounding country. Being Identified with the newspaper profession, natur- ally the first place we visited on Friday, was the newspaper offices. Special at tentiOn was given us by Col, Bethen, proprietor of the "Times," and s. P. Weston, business manager of the "Post Intelligencer. In addition to visiting the offices of these gentlemen, we had the pleasure of visiting their homes, and can testify that newspaper men of the West are most hospitable. Seattle is thrifty city, and is gaining rapidly in population. Unless all signs fail, it will be . big city in the future. To the average New Yorker it is little too hilly for comfort, but the residents do not seem to suffer any inconvenience.
