NEWSY LETTER FROM
 HILL IN IDITAROD

The creeks are preparing to get busy if they fail to make good they will disappoint and break lot of people. l never saw more active preparations for work on new ground. Major Strong and his wife are just the same as ever. a mighty good pair to draw to. A. x. Grant is with them. looking as well as ever. Charley Hoxie is running a sa- loon next to the NJ. & NJ. bank; he is the same Charley as of old: does not look any older He has a nice place that reminds me of Oliver's. Albert Vile has the principal tailor shop in town.
 There are nine lawyers here, but dn not see much litigation coming up. T he original stakers are nearly all on the ground and there is, so far, little or no dispute as to titles. Fractions have in the main been staked with the con- sent of the owners or the right con ceded after stalking.
 Prices are high here; potatoes are $1 for four pounds and eggs. not very fresh. are $60 per case Meals are req sonable. considering. A fairly good meal, without meat, costs 75 cents and the average meal costs one dollar.
 The clean ups have commenced to come in and they are very encouraging. One or two new creeks have been struck. The trouble seems to be that the pay is all shallow. Miners tell me there is neither deep ground nor any chance for any as the soil is shallow right back to the hills There has been a little ground found that is too deep for summer work and is frozen, but it is not expensive
 Word comes that some Colorado cap italists, who have representatives here have bought up all the claims on Flat creek and are going to put in big dredger. Certain it is that some of the operators who have been planning to do lot of work this summer have shut down. If such is the case it is likely that there will not be a great deal of prospecting done next winter.
 heard people say that this was a poor townsite. To my mind it is ,on the contrary. very good one and the town is nicely laid out. The streets are well kept and observed. The main streets are about so to 100 feet wide, the side streets about the same and the town has just finished laying cross walks on the main crossings. There are sidewalks about eight feet wide up the main street back to the next street there is a fair sidewalk and some sort of a walk from the second street back The town Is built on the two main streets though it is spreading. There is a green house here larger than the one in Nome and fresh vegetables are on the market; one gets seven radishes for quartr. Candy is $1.5O per pound and sugar only 12 cents. Sugar and corn meal are the only reasonable eata- bles I know of. in point of price. the latter being 15 cents per pound.

The river Is now open and the last cake of ice fioated down stream yester- day. One boat has gone from here to Dikeman and brought back a load of lumber. Two other boats have come up from points down the river and day after tomorrow the Reliance will take mail to the Yukon There is still some snow in the hills. The hills are cov- cred with tundra and moss and scat tering clumps of small trees which are heavier in the hollows The contour of the country seems to indicate a great deal of erosion though a bit rougher than the country about Nome. Should any rich dirt be found on the flats of the main river this would be a very good camp and there are constant ru- mors that some one has struck pay just out of town.
 The weather is, so far. something like Nome in bad spring times. cold and disagreeable, the wind blowing most of the time from the south: they tell me this is the case summer and winter
 There is a lot of building and not many idle men but I think most of the work is done on the credit system If the merchants here can collect what is outstanding they will make small fortune each. Business has been good for them, but I think most of them have very large accounts outstanding.
 We are trying to arrange to have Judge Murane come over here during the winter It would be a nice easy trip for him and if we could get a couple of months in the summer from nh HnlA winter from Judge Murane We would get along very nicely.

Norman Patterson is in Jail at
Colorado Srings, Colo, charged
with petty larceny. In present
ing his sweetheart with a shirt
waste, he failed to consider that
in all probability she would have
to change it several times at least
before she would be satisfied.
The first time she tried it, the clerk
recognized it as piece of stolen
goods. Patterson arrest followed.
Loot valued at $500 was recov-
cred Saturday when two trunks
containing articles stolen from
the Santa Fe railroad were seized
at the Union station. At the
same time that the trunk were
recovered, S. Bonero, Is years

The two prisoners are alleged to
have robbed the railroad of goods
valued at more than 81, 600 dur
ing their transportation from
Syracuse, Kan, to Pueblo, Colo.
A robber forced an entrance to
the office of Ted Primrose, clerk
Of the district court at Grand
Junction early Tuesday, broke

got one dollars worth of stamps.
The small returns caused the rob-
ber to leave a note which read:
"Why didn't you leave some
money here? had to work hard
