1 The following extract from letter written by Capt. Daniel B Libby. ST to a friend in Nome throws some fur ther light on the early history of this
 section and indicates that our earlier historians may have strayed from the facts in recounting the story of the first gold discovery on Seward Penin- sula. The following is Capt Libby's statement in regard to the matter:
 Tt is stated that Otto de Bendelaven had charge of the party building tele- graph lines in Alaska, that he discov- cred gold on the Neukluk river while with me in 1866. My division of that line was from the head of Norton Sound to Cape Prince of Wales. I was sent to Port Clarence, II of us, in Sep tember of that year, selected site and built a station. four houses and a ware
 house. About the last of September,
 Bendelaven was sent by boat from St. Michael and reported to me for duty the same as an ordinary workman. In November that year he and Bob Globe 1 with natives went to select route to Norton Sound, struck Neukluk River
 rather high up going down river on l ice came to high gravel banks that
 looked good to me I had done some
 mining on South Cleav creek near
 Idaho Springs. Col, in 1862, so We built
 a fire and thawed out a little gravel land I banned it out that night when lCity The prospect showed five or lsix light colors of gold I said. Boys. when we get our camp here next year we will do prospecting' In 1867 all work was abandoned on the whole pro
 ject and the company vessel came to
 take us back to California. Bendelaven
 was not mentally strong and in 1868 twas sent to Stockton insane asylum
 and was there about two years. think he is dead. These are the facts built 23 miles of line east from Port IClarence, parts of the cedar poles were lstanding in 1898, l saw them. I still
 lretain about all my company instruc-
 tions We published a monthly paper
 at Port Clarence and continued it al lPlover Bay while waiting final leave for San Francisco. I retain a full Icopy of all those papers. It was called the 'EsquimauX' published in Libbys- Iville, Port Clarence, Alaska While ] got but little Alaska gold I do wisf to hold my earlier record If thai telegraph work had gone on another ! year probably the rush for gold would have come about 30 years sooner"

The kougarok mail arrived in town yesterday. The summer schedule to the kougarok and adjacent points is now in effect and the outgoing mail will leave every Tuesday. The time of arrival is somewhat problematical as the rules allow the carrier eight days in which to make the round trip and the time required varies somewhat ow- ing to the travelling conditions pre- vailing. During midsummer the trip is frequently made in six days.

are trying to forestall the Rus
SLAMS and secure a foothold there
while the summer still favors
military operations, is the view

Direct operations against War

than the business of advancing
their wings through a country
which with the approach of au-
tumn will become impossible.
