The district passed for the lost week is all mining and inhabited by prospeetorai etc. who are doing their prospecting during winter and work- ing th claims during summer. At Miami only about five people are living here as during the gold rush the population was several thousand. Saw remains of the old town where willows ore now growing, streets were . numerous, but can not be found now. In this city there are about thirty houses left but quite a lot of gold is still being removed. Am here in time to see the whole town being moved at a mining company is going to dredge the property on which the town we! located and the houses have to be . moved about a quarter of 1 mile away. A After leaving Ophir had to cross the Kushkowim Mountains, it was very interesting traveling above the timberline with nothing ahead and around but mountains, taking two days to cross. staying overnight in a former reindeer herder's cabin. It was about the same as sleeping out in the open as the wind howled through the cracks and the roof was caving in. When dawn came I could see the light through dozens of cracks. The' weath. er was about 38 below and a bit chilly as the stove did not do any good un- less you were on top of it. Passed a reindeer herd a few miles past the cabin, but it was too early in the rimming to take any pictures. F ' The natives here are a bit different from the type I've seen 5 far, they are beginning to be 'l,','lrAil,'l,' Eski- mos and will be purely Eskimos when I hit the Kushkokwim river towards Bethel. Am told that I will have to sleep in igloo: in that district, trees are not found there as it is all tun. dras, everything is barren.
