The U1rangeU Drug Co
From the Fairbanks District.

Collector of Customs Bronson kindly permits us to peruse letter from W.H. Richardson, dated Fairbanks Aprid 3rd Mr. Richarlson's greatest trouble seems to be in getting mail. \ letter sent from Mr. Bronson Wrangell, Dec 2jth, had just been received by him, having been held up, he says, for over three months for the purpose of forcing him to pay 21 cents extra for delivery. Hence his kick seems to be righteous one.
 Mr. Richardson says: '' l got hurt last fall. A hoisting bucket fell 2 feet and struck me on the back and shoulders They had to put q rope around me to get me out, and have not yet entirely re covered from the effects of it.
 My neighbors have been at work close to my claim, and as they went down over 100 feet without finding any. thing, did not sink on mine. There has been q big stampede up the TanaIs river toward Valdez, 80 or 90 miles from Fairbanks, which would have joined had I been here when it left. It may not amount to much. All the others since 1 have been here have not amount ed to anything, so my most sanguin" cX- pectations are on the wane. There IS some good ground here, but it is too lini- tied. p claims will cover all the pay ground that has been found on Cleary creek to date; Fairbanks has + paying claims; Pedro 9 claims, but do not think they will all pay. They claim to have some pay ground On Chena creek, but l don't think it amounts to much.
 q never saw a camp as badly oyerdone as this one is at present and unless the new stampede develops something, the outside people who rush in here this spring will be the worst disappointed crew that ever struck a new camp. never saw as many idle men looking for work as were here last winter, and there was more destitution than there was in the Klondike in 1897.
 "There are plenty of provisions of all kinds, but the price is almost prohibi- tive for the amount of money i'll the country. have been scouting over the country most of the winter, and my sup plies have cost me II to 25c per pound for flour; 45 to 60c for bacon; 8 tp 60c for fresh meat; 33I4c for onions and pc tattoo; 90 to 5Oc for sugar; butter sl per pound, and other things ill proportion. l have been thinking of going to koyo- kuk or Nome, this spring, but l think now will stay here for the summer
 ''I am glad to learn that Wrangell Is looking up. think the town has as promising future as any place in south eastern Alaska; and a close observer that will look for quartz iu that section may be amply repaid at any time"

LETTER TO W. A. CLARK.
RELFAST. MAINE.

Dear Sir When you see well-dressed
man, you like to say: "There's sample
of my clothes. That man is worth two of
himself as he was when he came to me-"
We have the same feeling Our paint on
a house is worth twice as much as old
fashioned painters paint, lead-and-oil. 1t
looks the same when first put on. In three
months it don't. In three years it decided
iy don't.
Lead-and-oi chalks off in three years it
is considered irst-rate job that lasts three
years.
DevOe lead-and-zinc is about as good in
three years as it was the day the painter
left it.
Zinc is the secret of it; no secret at all.
A good many painters know zinc; some
mix it in with their lead. We grind it in:
not little: good deal.
It's the zinc and the grinding that does it,
You can't mix zinc by hand. We grind it
in by machinery.
Painters are finding us out, though some
painters are slow.
You know that it pays a good man to
wear good clothes. How many customers
have you that know it?
Yours truly
