there had been a shortage of food in

that when lie left Kaltag on his
v.av to Nome there were fourteen dog
teams ready to start for the Diska
kat Willi grub for the miners.
.Mr. Morrow purchased forty-one
head of reindeer last i'all and drove
t'leui to the new diggings, and sold

herd of deer the only fresh meat to
be had was a few moose which trap
pi rs were bringing in from the Kus
koquiiu district and retailing for one'
dollar a pound, but the forty-one head
of reindeer put the moose trust out
of business.
About three hundred miners spent
the winter in the Innoko district, and
every man was working cither for
wages at $0 per day and found of $1

There are three creeks in the dis

Ophir, Little and Gaines. On Ophir
some fifteen outfits are w king; on
Little, about eight, and <iu.. a num
ber on Gaines.
Mr. Morrow reports that there arc
1.0 idle men in the whole district, but
provisions are high and scarce. Klou

pounds, and beans *>0 cents per pound
Sugar, rice and articles of that nature
are three pounds for a dollar. Drinks
and cigars are T>0 cents.

many tons which lias a ready market
