[ Hyder Alaska Miner ]
Writing to Ed, Fernald from
Siberia, where he went last
spring, Arthur Marlatt con
firms the letter quoted some
time ago in the Miner which
was received by a friend in i
Ketchikan, Siberia, he says,
offers no inducements to the
prospector, for while there is
undoubtedly some gold there i
the government is so uncertain
except in its invariable crooked
i ess, that should a big strike
u • made the discoverer would
i i ver be allowed to reap the
benefit.
The 19 Americans who land
ed there, he says, are about
broke including himself.
They have a “scurvy outfit”
for winter, if the army
aoes not take it away from
them, in which case they will
have to eat snowballs.
He asks that the truth be
made known through the press
to discourage others who may
contemplate going from taking
that step.
