11. 1. King of Friend, Neb., returned
recently from thu mining district near
Nome, Alaska., whero ho has spent nearly
a year and a half prospecting for gold and
locating claims, lie arrived there before
the rush and succeeded In securing a mini-
nor or vniunuie properties In the richest
part of tho district. Mr. King came to Ne-

The Salvation army has arrived and com

have been built to care for the sick and
altogether It ls not the worst place on
earth.
"Tho country there is a plain, without
any timber, extending from the ocean back
about live miles to the mountains. A great
part of the plain is covered with a growth
of moss about nine Inches thick called
'tundra.' The tundra in summertime Is a
soft bog and with much of a load Is almost
linpatsable. Strange ns It may seem, ilowors

dlo then the father must tnko the mother's

Eskimo women always retnln their maiden
names, and upon marriage do not take the
namo of their husband. Tho death rate
among the natives was exceptionally largo
last year, consumption being tho disease
most prevalent. General Itandall, who was
ln command of tho United States troops
last summer, had Inrge numbers of sick
nntlves brought near tho barracks so thoy
could have treatment by tho nrmy surgeons,
"It Is surprising whnt ridiculous Ideas
Bomo people who went to Nome must havo
had of mining. One dny I met four men
returning from Anvil creek, thoroughly dis
gusted nnd rendy to sail for home. They
hail gone out to stake claims nn this fa

find them all taken. This should not havo
