Through the kindness of Mrs. D. A. Barnhurt, of Sidney, Neb., we are per mitted to publish tlip following inter esting letter from her brother, Frank Moore: ' Capk Nomk, Alaska, Oct. '2. DKAlt SiSTKlt: I suppose you have been looking for mail from us oftener, but mail is very un certain in this country. We have landed in the richest place on earth at last. We did not get here on time but have doue fairly well. We stopped in St. Michael for a time, hesitating whether to go back to Dawson or not. I think I wrote you we would win ter in Dawson but the rejiorts were such from hero that I could not make up my mind that it was all right, so I came over. During tho time I was working on tho beach the smallest day I had was. lS).iJL' and the largest H:.H(i: this beach beats anything that was ever known; you should see it; it is all torn to pieces for miles and the mines back in the hills are very rich. There have been nug gets found that are worth ?i;tf. It will bo the biggest camp for its agenoxtsummor that ever sprang up. There are several thousand here now and others coming. A great many are going out yet to b( back in the spring. It is jet ting cold now; it freezes every night; have had snow two weeks ago, but tho days are tine. It is the worst looking place you ever saw. Tho mountains are not high and there is not a tree with in sixty-live miles of here; noth ing but a prairie apparently, but is what they call here tinder; it is grass and moss and a sjxaige could not hold any more water than it does. I am glad to see it freeze up so we can travel. They say it does not get very cold ex cept when the wind blows and it has surely got a good chance. The place looks something like your old ranch looking south; tho Behring sea is on one side. We have a good house; I built it all alone; it was a monster job; it is 10x12 feet and our tentin front for a storm door. We are going to winter by an oil stove you will think that imjiossiblo prob ably. Wo have all our winter grub in and 1"0 gallous of oil tho great problem I think it will be short; also coal. There is wood on the beach (drift wood) but it is all burned ott' for several miles each way from tho town. There is no more lumber to build with any more; so it will bo hard for some. There is at least a thousand tents occupied yet and a great many will winter in them. We have a good lot that will sell good next summer. We are go ing out on the beach early in tho spring. I was painting a while ago and got 10' per day. Carpenters' wages are 10, fcl" and $20 per day; you can hear hammers going night and day. I think all tho worst drunkards uro here from tho entire world. Money is no object. There ure more saloons than any other business; fiO ceuts per drink or cigar. Will quote some prices. Lumber, If 12" per thousand; nails, ll! centsfbuilding paper, from to $7."i0 per roll; eggs, $1 per dozen; onions, L'O cents per pound; potatoes, 7 jxiuuds for $1; apples, two for L'5 cents; watermelons, 2.50; oil, 00 cents a gallon; coal, 50 per ton; canned goods run from !5 to tiO ceuts per can; Hour is cheap, 2. 50 to ii per sack; fresh boef, 1 per Mund; mutton, 1.25; coffee and doughnuts, 50 ceuts, ham and eggs, 1.50. A real good meal costs ti. So you see some things are very reasonable. According to wages, it is all cheap. If I was in Frisco I could only-get two j sacks of Hour for a day's work i and here I can get four. We are going out on the hill as soon us it freezes a little more and I see if we can't get some claims. We will be out next fall whether make anything'or not. We have both been sick but not bedfast. The water is miserable and uext summer it will bo something vile, for there is no sanitary system here and you can judge what it will bo when the thaw comes in the spring. We will make our es cape early in llio spriug for tho beach. There is lots of sickness here now and u few deaths. Ty phoid fever see ins to bo the plague, some pneumonia. I wish you could s,h thegiouse or .ptomican (tomican) we have here; they are the size of a pheas ant und as white as snow; they are a beautiful bird and good eat ing. There is also a snipe about the size of a quail that is liner still. There is a government jxist here; they have tine quarters; it seems like Sidney to hear the bu gle calls; they don't seem to sound the calls at auy particular time; they sound sunup very often at H:I!0 and more times not at all and sun down loug after night. I think they have eastern time or else are good sleepers. There are dozens of women here, also chil dren. There is a report around that a sailing vessel, the Hero, was lost at Dutch Harbor. It left here last Mouday with about 1200 passengers. We don't take any stock in the report, for there has been no boat in here since she left, so it is only a rumor. I hope tho Hero wasn't list, for there ot of people on her that we knew. Minnie's brother-in-law is here. Ho came early in tho spring. He got a front street lot and sold it tho other day for :, 000. He is going out and will bo back again in tho spring. It would amuse you to see tho dog teams; about all the hauling and expressing is done by them. The native digs are very pretty; they look very much like a coyote; they are terrors to light and if there are a dozen in a bunch and get into a tight they all pitch on to the under dog and then if left alone will kill that dog. There are some horses and they make good money with them packing out to the mines There was a stampede here yesterday toa new goldfieldabout 70 miles from here; a great many have gone. Cape York is tho name of tho place. A boat arrived here this forenoon and will take a largo number of passengers out; there are men selling their effects on tho beach now and one can get gixid bargains in tho clothing line, also robes, but we have clothes plenty that have not been worn yet. Will tell you how the money has been taken off the beach here. The pay streak is a ruby sand from two to four foot from sur face and at the sea edge it is about on to). I know men that took out as high as 1,800 in a single day, but that will drain a pocket, Men quit places where they only got three ounces per day and looked for better ground. I am acquainted with three men that got twenty-eight ounces of amal gam for oueday; that was nopock et find. I will bet there were three millions taken oil this beach since the first of July. Pit A NIC MOOHli. According to the Boston Tran script, it was a womau who wus the definite means of having a def inite day iu the year set apart for the National observance of Thanksgiving. Mrs. Sarah Jo sepha Hale, ti Boston woman and editor of tho first woman's maga zine published in this country, worked twenty years to accom plish this end. Time did not daunt her courage, bu,t rather in creased her insistences She wrote to governors of States and to the President of th 3 United States. At last President Lin coln adopted Her suggestion in 18(51, when there was reason to re joice over the success of tho North in restoring the Union. JOHN B.ALEXANDER, ESQ.

A message by telephone from Wells Tannery Tuesday noon to Hon. W. S. Alexander of this place conveyed the sad intelligence thut his father, John H.Alexander, was dead. This produc ed quite a shock to his friends here, as it was lielieved that the aged gentle man was enjoyfhtr more than usual ly good health. John U. Alexander was a grandson of Alexander Alexander who settled in Wells Valley prior to the Revolution ary War, and the youngest son of John Alexander. He was born In Wells Valley, June 8, 181", died on the same farm on which ho was born and had his home during his entire life, No vemlicr 27, 18!H, aged 82 years, 5 months, and 20 days.

The Alexanders belong to a line of staunch Presbyterians, the father of the deceased being an elder in the Mc Connellsburg l'resbyterian church, and John 11. Alexander himself was Imp! iziul in that church and held his membership there until the organiza tion of the Wells Valley church, in which he was a faithful elder for fifty years. lleing thoroughly domestic in his habits he never sought public oHlce, and yet his party made him their noinr inee for the legislature in 1870. Al though representing a party very much in the minority in his county, his vote was flattering Indeed. During the first half of this century, I"'ovme Ior 1,10 proieciion .or .our government, against a ioreign ioe, ev ery man subject to military duty was required to belong to a home military organization and meet at stated peri ods for "muster."

Nelson, captain; one ut Hurrisonvllle, Row land Austin, cuptaiu, and one in Weils Valley, John 11. Alexander, captain.
