Mr.Walter Wittergren has received
an interesting letter from Shel Wet
taeh the former owner of the old Sour
Hough roadhouse ou ten lVxter Creek
who is now in the general merchandise
business in Ruby Among many other
interesting remarks concerning the
people and the conditions in the inter
ior camp. Shel has the following to say .
"Ruby is quiet as usual and 1 have
to stretch my usual economy to make
I anything I have a nice business hut
. i here are six stores in town (like mine)
five on the creeks and trading posts
.,(I along the Yukon which, as things
i. re stationin ' and main leaving makes
1 - ompetitinn so keen its to be a Ini' ’St
disgusting ( >ne store is selling out. to
| • 111it in the spring. Sam Adams, who
; used to tie in the steamer tieket ottice
next to your place in Nome, is here
| .loo Vint and ftarrj Keown wore here
with int* all tiie time they were in town.
I sold them their dog feed and tobacco.
Also Representative Oetcholl. I grab
I" d him as lie was going up river.
Travel is very quiet and no strikes
being made, all reports of others to
tile contrary, if the camp dont im
prove 1 will lie in Nome next fall.
Every body says it is Still the best
tamp. George Apple is here (They
(all him crab houndiand worked for
wages last fall Coke Hill has lost Ills
Job as commissioner. lie will pr.u
toe law here. He owns the Muintn
Club here, but il is a losing proposition
Everybody is crazy about the coast
i to and railroad Charlie Hoxic is
making some money on Cong Creek
I.i'li ShifTerlee is four flushing around
the hills. So is everybody else for that
matter. Tho winter 1ms been very mild,
i.o cold weather to speak of i think
Ituby has the best climate in interim
Alaska. The N C. Co. has the key to
the situation though. They own the
I .oats and ship hea\ \ so we all have
to go to them for shorts Onions are
2(i cents per pound, potatoes events,
bacon 50 cents and eggs 75 cents a
dozen. Gasoline is $S.50 a case fierce
a int it? One redeeming feature of the
i amp is plenty of wood, tish and game
for the "rough necks," otherwise they
would starve.

It is tiie opinion of tlie Nugget that
Spring is surely right at hand. Not
because the blizzards have ceased to
howl in whirling fury over the land
! nor yd because tiie winds are softly1
tempered and ti genial warmth pre-|
vades the air. All of these evidences
of tin' coming of glowing spring con-I
firtitiilorx however and the primary
reason for out deduction lies in the fact
that the “Spring l’oet” is abroad in
the land and two heart tittivatingj
samples of the spring crop of poetical j
blossoms have drifted into the office
in ihe past two days. One swallow |
docs not Indicate a summer according
to the maxim hut we opine that two
spring pilots in two daxs is pretty fair|
e\ idence.
