is iu the Saudusky party in EAGLE CITY Alaska July 11 1898 MY DEAR is two weeks since I wrote you last and do not know tha you have received that yet as the maps are very uncertain in this vicinity but hope you will receive them all in due time I have not heard a word from home since your letter of May 8 received at Bennett City None of the boats from the outside have come up the river yet but they are expected up here about tbe 15th or of this month then we will get mail every two weeks until the river freezes up which occurs about the of October I have been on the tramp nearly ail the time since my last letter I have made three trips up the American river I got here from my second trip at 1 o'clock Fourth of July morning and nearly the whole town was lined np on the bank of the Yukon celebrating the Fourth by firing off guns and revolvers There are no firecrackers or other fire works in this country but the boys used their guns regardless of cost and were willing to show their patriotism even if shells were worth 25 cents each I got back here again at midnight last night walked 80 miles from 5 o'clock in the morning over one of the worst trails imaginable and soaking wet from a rain We have had considerable rain in the last 10 days it does not rain here like it does at home but sets in with a good-sized drizzle and keeps it up The underbrush is so thick along the trails that a person cannot go far before they are soaked through The second trip I made it rained three days We had no tent or blanket with us and to say we were uncomfortable does not express it but after getting home and changing our clothing and some good warm food and a few hours rest we turn out feeling like fighting cocks George Miller started for the headwaters of the Forty-mile river Sunday July 3 going up the river and crossing over the divide He has not returned yet but we expect him now at any time as his grub must be nearly used up I about 150 miles since I wrote you last but fortunately for us yesterday when we came in we were flying light did not have to pack anything packing is what takes the starch out of a climbing over hills and rocks through brush and along the banks of creeks of ten in the water over our boot tops and the mosquitoes so thick that we can hardly see through them but thank the Lord time is getting short We have staked quite a number of claims which all show pretty good color of course we have not had time yet to give any of them a good prospecting that is done later in the season and during the winter This time of the year is used in looking around and ready for the winter Tonight I start up the Yukon 18 miles to the boys bring down two rafts of logs that they have cut in the last 10 days Fettel and Thiem came down afternoon and said they were all cut and ready to raft so we are going up to get them then we will commence our cabin at once I worked two days for one of our neighbors helping him on his cabin in payment for some favors he did for us thereby gaining the reputation of helping to build the first cabin in Eagle City proper There are two or three log cabins here on the Yukon but they are all located outside of the town site Charley Koegle Judge Shay and the captain are fixing up a rocker to go up the river a few miles to a place where Charley and I prospected one day last week We passed about 40 pans and found color in every pan but three Some of them showed as high as 12 colors They will try the rocker tomorrow all day to see about what it will yield then we will build a flume with a strong head of water and wash as fast as two or three men can shovel in the gravel We feel as though we might have a pretty good claim there as it is an old river bottom where we found about three feet of gravel which has been dry for ages If the streak is not too wide and the gold scattered over too wide a territory it will be all right Huntington and party returned from their exploring trip which I mentioned in my last and report a good looking country around the creek They staked 12 claims but we have not had the time yet to go up there and make a prospect We have heard anything from the boys that we left in and cannot say what they are doing I have been told that this mail leaves on the loth and as I won't be back hereby that time I have written this More next time Do not wait to hear from me but write week this summer until the first of September How I do like to hear from you and my little ones God bless yon all and take care of you is my earnest wish Yours JIM ULCER TO RESIGN NEW YORK Sept A
