Washington, Aug. 6.—A letter, dated July 22, has been received ai the treasury from a former employe of the department now at Cape Nome, Alaska. The writer, who has the entire confidence of the offi cial. says: “The reports of disease and death are untruthful. The smallpox scare is all over. There were twenty ct&ses in all. and all of them came on the Oregon. As yet there has been no typhoid fever; but the season has been dry, which probably ac counts for its absence. “There have been twelve violent deaths here since June 10. Four men have been drowned, three have committed suicide and five have been shot. “Prospectors who have been out over the country are Just beginning to bring in quartz. Every sample carries a little gold and some have been worth S6O a ton. The season on the famed Anvil creek has been so dry. there having been neither rain nor snow since June 17, tha< the creeks cannot be worked to advant age. Each sluice box requires a five or six-inch stream of water of considerable force. Suicing, with fair results, is go ing on along many of the creeks and also to some extent on the beach. “The day has passed, however, when a single man can rook out $75 a day. I have a friend who took out ssl In ten hours, but he had three shove’.ers who had to be paid, besides the expense of a gasoline engine to pump water from the sea. This was on the ground that was worked with rockers last year. “The story that the beach is gold to Cape Prince of Wales is undoubtedly false. Dredging the sand from the sea is a complete failure. “On the whole, I believe Nome will boom as soon as it rains. The gold will be. mostly from the creeks and prospects are well for winter diggings." COUNCIL MEN ARE DEFIANT. Hut AuftiiKtn Will Have to Improve Her Water Main*.. Augusta, Ga..
