The gold output of Seward peninsula this year promises to be larger than was anticipated acouple of months ago. The late spring and the continued dry weather operated against the miner during the early summer, and as re- suit mining operations were late in starting up. Never in the history of mining in this section was the ground so slow in thawing, so that it would yield it's golden harvest to the efforts of the miner. The latter portion of the season has been more favorable Rains have been abundant, and consequently the operations have been pursued with great activity. Notwithstanding this, the gold output will be considerably below that of last year. How much, it is rather hard to determine, but it may be safely predicted that the shortage, as compared with last year, will be less than s1,OOO,OO0 That the amount is so great is to be regretted, but climatic and other conditions are solely respon- sible. The garnering of the gold crop of Seward peninsula has but common ced.-Nome Nugget.

William K. Wilson, an Alaska miner and pioneer of that country, arrived in Seattle Wednesday night on the steamship Victoria. Blind and helpless he was brought to Seattle by Capt. Weaver, of the vessel, and yesterday turned over to Humane Officer Clark. Wilson told a long story of trips over the icy Alaska trails. He had been musher for years, drifting from one camp to another. At one time be got together a small fortune, but lost 1t again in the uncertain country where wealth comes in one day and goes the next. He was one of the men who went over the Dyea trail years ago, and since that time has been playing with for tune. He mined and packed over great portion of the country. Snow blindness was one of the Alaska ail- ments contracted by Wilson, which eventually led to complete loss of sight. Two years ago he realized that his sight was failing and that in time he would be blind. Gradually objects be- came more dim until finally in Nome a few weeks ago he became totally blind. The master of the Victoria took pity on the old man and brought him to Seattle. Humane Officer Clark will make an attempt to send Wilson to the poor farm. He had about SlOO in his possession, but has no friends, nor rel atives, so far as he knows in the world. He came originally from Ohio, but be- lieves that all of his relatives are dead. -P.I.

A GRUEsoME FIND.

A gentleman who just arrived here from the lower river tells story of q sad ending of the remains of dead man at the old mining town of Circle City. on the Yukon river, says the Skag way Guide. Last November some mi ners prospecting along the Yukon be- low Circle came across the remains of a man whom they believed to have been drowned. They at once placed him in their boat and brought him to Circle and reported their find to the few in- habitants of the place. There was no undertaken in the town at the time and no friends to identify the man, so he was carried in and placed on large shelf in the rear of vacant building formerly occupied as saloon, until some disposition could be made for burial.
 Time wore on and the corpse was for gotten, as no one had occasion to visit the building during the winter, and the transaction was entirely lost sight of as far as the people of the camp were concerned.
 Early last month Mir. c. M. Fraser, a convoy of the U. s. customs office, was sent down the river from Eagle on one of the boats bound for the Tan ana. He left the boat at Circle to await another coming up the river to carry him back to Eagle. On landing at the former place he started up town when he discovered a number of half-starved Malamute dogs deyouring the corpse of a human being. He hurried to the first occupied building and reported what he saw when a number of miners returned with him to the spot and gathered up piece by piece of the re- msining body scattered over the ground. The men set to work, built a rough box coffin and gave the remains as decent a burial as possible under the conditions.
 The corpse placed in the old saloon building nearly year previous was not thought of by the miners until Mir. Fraser reported his find, and would no doubt have still remained there un- buried had not the hungry dogs drag ged it from it's gruesome place.
