WHERE APPETITE IS A DECIDED HANDICAP Some fiurprlNln r Prevailing Prlccn lu the New mid "Wonderful ( iiild Ciuiil ) on the Frozen Shore * of ilcrlnir Sea.i 'Acquaintances ' of William Snydcr , the former Harnoy street carriage ranker , who left Omaha for the Klondike about a year and a half ago , will bo Interested in knowing that his particular friend , John Driscoll , has just received another letter from him , dated Capo Nome- , Alaska , October 28 , A former letter published in The Dee contained the information that bo had cleaned up over $5,000 at Dawson in manufacturing mining rockers , and with his capital thus acquired liad goiio on northwest to Capo Notno , on the shore of Bering sen , about 120 miles from the southern boundary of Siberia , In his most recent letter Mr. Snydcr con gratulates himself on being located In the richest mining camp in the world and sur rounded Jby very many favorable chances of getting rich easily. At the time of writing ho was building himself a now house on the principal business stiect of the city and expected to move into it early In November. "When you come , " ho writes Mr. Drlscoll , "you will locate In my house on Snake Illvor beach , just nt the mouth of Snake rlvorwhere It empties Into Bering sea. From my , house I can overlook the tea nnd the ehlps going in and coming out. I have been to Capo Princess of Wales and returned , and will go back again this win V ter on the Ice.

" So glowing have been the reports of the prospects for accumulating wealth In th's faraway district of Arctic rigors of climate that Mr. Drlscoll has decided to accept Snyder's Invitation and join In his quest for gold. Accompanied by his son , Fred Driscoll , Fred Slarty and a few others , ho will go north early next summer. While Mr. Snyder's letter Is brief , it en closed two copies of newspapers from Nome which attest the cosmopolitan proclivities of the modern publisher In seeking out the remotest corners of the earth to carry for ward the dissemination of knowledge and civilization. From their perusal ono Is led inevitably to the conclusion that the moving Inspiration which beckons the wanderers to ' this faraway land away from the advantages of temperate lands and the comforts ot home , prevails in every walk of life. It Is the mania for money getting , the relentless greed for gold. Throughout the length nnd breadth of the columns one reads but of money nnd gold. Each paper Is a four-column , four-page paper , containing entire not nearly so much reading matter as ono page ot The Hoc. Knch is Isaucd weekly , nnd yet the sub scription rate Is $24 a year , $2 a month or SO cents a slnglo copy , Each devotes about three columns out of twelve to advertise ments of saloons and restaurants , with a few lawyer's cards. Neither mentions par tisan politics. Ono , which bears the stamp of stability and conservatism that la an attribute - tribute of age , has reached a longevity of four weeks. It is called the Nome Nirwa nnd is edited by J. F. A. Strong. The other , railed the Nome Gold Digger , IB an In'tlal number , nnd bears the name of Casslus M. Coo ns editor and proprietor. The latter Is evidently Imbued with < ho spirit of Its youth , for it eomenhat boast- Ingly Invites Ito admirers to send it nbrond as It contains "tho drat authentic account of the mines. " Whether or not it bo the first authentic account , or whether it may not bo authentic at all. it la certainly mi Inter esting recital. In the discussion of ono of the mining districts , this paper says : AtiroiiN SiuiilN , "This Is certainly , temperately opeaklng , ono of the richest gold districts that has over been known. There are claims on the creeks about Nome that will surprise the whole world. These mines begin about ilva miles northwest of town and are situated on Snow , Anvil , Glacier , Dexter , Duster and Eomo other creeks and gulches. Snow gulch , which is enormously rich , has only four claims upon It. Nos. 1 , 2 and 3 are owned by the I'lonecr Mining company , nnd No. 4 by Charles D. Lane of San Francisco , who bought It for $10,000. Nuggets have been found on these clulme worth J1CO each. There has been taken out of Snow gulch during the last summer between $300,000 $ and $400.000 , The gulch has a length of but ono mile , nnd each of the four claims on It is 1,320 feet long. Of the eighteen claims on Anvil creek , the paper says , ono has been sold to Charles I ) . Lane for $75,000. On another claim nug gets have been found north $300 and $400. It Is only four or live feet to bedrock , The crounj paya up to $32 $ A pan. It pays over the whole claim , and clcan-upo have yielded from $13,000 to $14,000. During the sum mer the claim turned out $115,000. On still another claim In the Anvil creek district W. H. Price , its owner , has cleaned up $102- 000. 000.Tho The Charles D. Lane mentioned by this paper Is known to many politicians here abouts. He was a member of the free silver republican national convention at St. Louis In IS'JC and is the man who settled all the bills. Subsequently ho visited at Lincoln during the Ilryan campaign and is supposed to have put considerable money into the national campaign fund. Although ho was an ardent free sllverlte he was in fact en gaged almost exclusively In gold mining. The Gold Digger predicts that his properties In the Anvil creek district will clear up for him $1,000,000. For three of the claims ho holds ho paid $185,000. Ho owns forty or fifty claims altogether in the districts named above. The Gold Digger predicts that during the coming summer the Nome river district will clean up $10,000,000. Anvil , Snow and Dexter creeks yielded about $1.- 000,000 during the last summer and the beach mines $1,500,000. "During the last summer , " says the paper , "about 200 men worked on Snow gulch and Glacier creek , and 250 on Anvil On Dexter only rocking was done. The gold will eomo out of ( hero early next spring. Probably C50 men worked on the creeks and 2,000 men on tbo bench mines. " Nome has a mayor , T. D. Cashel , who writes nn article for the initial number of the Gold Digger. In It ho says : "When I first cameto Nome on June 27 from Dnwson i nio men were working on the beach to sco what they could get out of it They worked quietly at first , but pretty noon the richness got out. Business men quit their buslneea In town nnd went to the beach toorlc. . The whole shore became an attrac tion. .Milj or CtiNlirl'M Theory of KM Orlurlu. "I don't like to theorize as to where the gold comes from , but the gold la nearly al ways coarser near the shore than at thu edge of the tundra , giving the impression that It comes out of the sea , because the finest , particles are found deposited at the fiirthercst point from the surf action. \Vttliln a radius of two mllro on the beach , about August 15 , I counted personally 280 rockers. There were at least two men to each and away beyond these rockers , below the Indian village for seven or eight miles , was an almost continuous line of men. Tnli lt ns a conservative average , I should think 2,500 men were working on the beach be tween too mouth of Snake river and Cripple river. I judge very few of thcro made leoa than $10 a day and the average was nt least an ounce a day , or $10. I know personaly two men who took out $13,000 between July 15 nnd October 1 , and there were others that I know In a short space of tlmu took out lots of gold. J. W. Lgau , a San Francisco news paper man , took out $7,000 In thirty days and loft the country. I tnado myself , under un favorable circumstances , $100 a day for n lime. The appliances were crude and the men were Inexperienced. Hut after the In- iroductlon of copper and silver iilatcM better resulu ) were obtained. I estimate that an average of 2.000 men were working on the beach and they made $1,000 each. This | would bring the product up to $2,000,000 , and I believe that at the least the product was from $1,500,000 to $2,000,000. They worked nearly thirteen miles of this beach. " G'oiifiiHliiK Medley < > r lilt ; KlKiircx. But it Is not alone In the mines that big figures prevail. They form the basis of every transaction in Nome , whether public I or private. One of the paporo sent by Sny.- I dcr gives a report of a meeting of the ] municipal council for the purpose I of reducing the salailcs of the six patrolmen comprising the city's pollco force to a paltry $1SO a month. Although such action wan taken , It was ex plained that the reduction was merely tem porary. This was doubtless to dlwarm the opposition , for there was opposition , and It Is related that ono councilman named Donovan van declared that a man could not live on $180 a month when ho had to pay $2 a meal. Ho engaged in a controversy with another councilman named Dam In relation to the adequacy of the proposed salary. "Policemen , " said Donovan , "get $125 n month outelde , besides a rake-off , which they don't get hero. " Dam Don't they ? Donovan No. I wan a policeman once for two weeks nnd I didn't get any. Dam You weren't onto your Job. At the parao meeting , relates the paper , Dr. Wlrt of the hospital wanted assurance from the council that hu should have all city patients at $5 each per day. Another item i the same issue showed that nt Dr. Wlrl's hospital there were twenty-five patients , hut as the lottrr nro cared for at reduced rates , it waa evident that Dr. Wlrt's hospital was doing a business of at least $123 a day. Meantime , at a meeting within the week , private citizens had subscribed to pay sums aggregating $150 a monpi for the support of the hospital , and a lot of trained nurses had arrived to lend their services. The Gold Digger glvw an Interesting table o { ruling prices in Nome that easily puts In the shade any of the fanciful stories by pioneers in any of the western mining camps , where prices have always hitherto seemed fabulous. "These prices , " bays Gold Digger , "may seem extiaordlnory to rceldenti of tbo Pacific coast anil the east , hut hero most of them do not exclto any comment The truth IB that the beach mines have , dur ing the summer , produced BO much gold to tha workers there that everybody has had money who was endowed with the slightest ambition to get along.
