It mentions Dr Roberds and W Layly, Gen Martin of Coquille, a Knights of Maccabees event, and upcoming market social. Also recorded are shop openings, real estate, a wedding, and oblique references to mining news and local commerce.
Dan Barklow and companions arrived from Cape Nome after a month of prospecting around Nome. They found gold but in small quantities, earned about ten dollars a day on the beach with a rocker, and noted corporations monopolizing mining claims. Barklow reports a spring rush of 60 000 to 76 000 people, good health, improved sanitation, and water power in the town, with others headed to Dawson and potential trouble over claims.
A farm ten miles from Myrtle Point on the middle fork of the Coquille offers 240 acres of sand soil with 90 acres bottom land improved and watered. It includes two barns, a shed, and a red house with some improvements noted in the damaged description.
