 By courtesy of Mir. Hall we are permitted to publish the following letter from a Wilmington boy We know that it will prove interesting to your readers :--
 Fairbanks, Alaska, Feb 9, 1911.
 Your welcome letter at hand this date, and pleased to hear from souSh wilmington again. I hope to visit South Willington again, and of all the places so far visited South Will lington looks the best from every standpoint. I have yet to see a more model town and 8 more contented people than are in that town. Be- Hevs me when say that there are very few, if any towns, in the world that can compare with old South Will lingtnn. Fairbanks, Alaska, is only a business center for the mining dis. trict. and the placer gold mines are about run out, that is for the pros psctors We expect to have installed in tue coming year large dredging plant, and the quaItz miners are con- fidant tllat the quartz will make a good showing this coming summer. This winter has been colker and the average temperature has been A de. geoes below for the past month of Jan uary. Snow fall has been a record one, and the buildings are new carry ing heavy load of the beautiful snow.to the breaking point Hunting has been fine the past winter, and moose and oRribeau are very plenti- ful Rabbits and grouse are so plentiful that most every family in town has a cache of them sufficient to last till spring, Business on the government lines is very slow, as is generally the case during the winter months. We have good quarters, and the duties are so light that at times 8 fellow gets homesick laying around thinking of the doings in the U s. I will try and get you few views of the city soon and mail you. Thank ing you for your kind consideration, I am William shaffer s,~
