COLD WEATHER AT DAWSON. Local Gold-Seekers Write Letters Home. Ben Porter Thinks He Saw Charley Rogers at Dawson, but Failed to Get a Chance to Speak to Him—Loring Gates Writes to His Folks Telling Them how He Is Getting Along Up in the Land of Snow and Gold—68 Degrees Below Zero. That is All-Days Are Short, and Some Days the Boys Do Not See the Sun. Owing to an Intervening Hill—the Sun Does Not Rise High on the Horizon, and Daylight Continues Only a Few Hours. Ben Porter who left Anaheim a year ago to go to the Klondike has written an interesting letter to E. W. McCollum, from which we have been permitted by that gentleman to take the following extracts: DAWSON, N.W.T., Dec. 27, 1898. Mr. E. W. McCollum, Anaheim, Cal. Kind Friend.—I don't know if my letters ever reached you or not, but will write a few lines again today and try to get them through. The mail leaves here Friday, I think. I have not had a letter from the outside since I started in here. So I don't know anything about how things have changed around down in your part of the country; but I suppose you are still in the wheel business in Anaheim and having a good time. I am not doing anything this winter, and don't see much prospect for any work soon. I guess there are at least twenty men here now for each and every job, and the mines on some of the creeks are not turning out as well as was expected. The men who were working on lays are giving them up and coming back to town. The worst reports come from Dominer and Sulphur creeks, and Bonanza is not working very strong, and I guess it is rather spotted. Eldorado is all right and so is Victoria Gulch, but there are only twenty-one claims on it. I have been out several times but have been unable to strike anything. I am going out again in a day or two and see if I can get something to do; don't care much what it is, so I can make something. They are only paying one dollar per hour this winter and some people pay less than that, and then the pay don't nips you have a mind to, and the severe cold from the ground beneath will soon work through them all. A man would soon freeze stiff if he did not keep moving, and with all his moving the cold will get the better of him sooner or later. As you know, the cold air is very dry and bracing. I like it, but should prefer it not quite so severe. I dislike having to stay indoors so much. Probably you wonder how we manage to pass the time away. At present it passes very pleasantly as we have considerable reading matter. When that is gone I guess we can sleep most of the time, for the days are growing quite short. Day breaks about half-past seven, and dark comes on at four in the afternoon. We do not see the sun at all from where we are, because of a hill that is between the sun and us. This hill is eight or ten miles south of us and is not very high either, so you will see that the sun does not get up very high, and there is only from 4 to 6 degrees difference in temperature. I could say much more about the climate, but think I have said enough. The river has been frozen over for a month or more, but it is by no means frozen solid, and I doubt that it ever will be. It has frozen quite rough in most places, ice being stacked up 8 or 10 feet high where the water was swift, and one big chunk is crowded on top of another. If the river was smooth it would not be such a task to go down to Fort Selkirk, but as it is, it is quite a difficult undertaking. I suppose you think we are able to get plenty of fresh meat, but there you are mistaken, for where the moose have gone to we are at a loss to know as there are no signs of them in this part of the country. We have been in mountains, valleys, by creeks and lakes, but saw no moose or cariboo. One of our neighbors killed three moose about the first of September, and our crowd secured 150 pounds of that, the very best and tenderest meat I have ever eaten, but that is all the large game we have had. The fur animals we have caught so far are half a dozen martins and a few rabbits. Persons in this country need fur from head to foot in midwinter, and light summer clothes in summer. We should have fur stockings, and we will have, if only of rabbit fur. Nov. 26, 1898.—The weather underwent a change on the 24th. The temperature went up to zero, and a blizzard blew all day, but we are so well protected in our log cabins that we did not mind it. We spent a very social Thanksgiving together. We had a sumptuous dinner followed by singing, speaking and joking until after ten, when we partook of more refreshments and retired for the night. This morning we got out early and started work before daylight. THE CITY FATHERS. A Letter From the Superintendent of Sunset Telephone Company. The Board of City Trustees met regular session on Tuesday evening present the full board, viz., Schneid Dickel, Schwenckert, Helmsen and Rust. Clerk Nebelung read the minutes of the meeting of Jan. 24, at which, in absence of the chair, Trustee Helmsen presided. The minutes read that latter gentleman had moved that wrants should be drawn in payment last month's bills. Mr. Schwenckert observed that minutes were incorrect; that Mr. Helmsen had not made any motion regarding the preceding meeting. The Clerk (disposed to take issue with him)—To what effect? Mr. Schwenckert—To any effect. The Clerk (eyeing the minute through his glasses)—I don't see it. Mr. Schwenckert—It was the motive that warrants be ordered drawn for payment of bills. The Clerk—O yes, here it is. The minutes were corrected, and the business of the evening was proceeded with. Marshal Steadman reported the collection of $564 60 for lights, watches and licenses during January; less 5 per cent commission for collection ($28 22); deposited with treasure ($536 38). Delinquents for water; $9 for light; $5 75; total; $15. Treasurer Cahen reported $1516 in the General fund; in Improvement Fund No. 1, $1419 58; Improvement Fund No. 2, $217 21; Improvement Fund No. 3, $570 27; total in treasury, $723 53. The Clerk's monthly financial statement showed $1512 97 in the General fund. He explained that the difference between himself and the Treasurer was caused by an outstanding warrant in favor of C. Schindler, drawn at the amount of $3 50, when his demand was made for $9 50. The council had at its last session curtailed the claim at the amount of $6, and Mr. Schindler had refused to accept it. A discussion of Mr. Schindler's claim was participated in by Trustees Helmsen, Schwenckert, Rust, Dickel and the Marshal: Helmsen and the Marshal maintaining that the cut was justifiable; Schwenckert, Dickel and Rust that the claim should be paid. Finally Mr. Dickel moved as a co-founder promise, and it was seconded by Mr Helmsen, that Schindler be paid $6 50 Carried. Mr. Schwenckert moved that the creeks are not turning out as well as was expected. The men who were working on lays are giving them up and coming back to town. The worst reports come from Dominer and Sulphur creeks, and Bonanza is not working very strong, and I guess it is rather spotted. Eldorado is all right and so is Victoria Guleh, but there are only twenty-one claims on it. I have been out several times but have been unable to strike anything. I am going out again in a day or two and see if I can get something to do; don't care much what it is, so I can make something. They are only paying one dollar per hour this winter and some people pay less than that, and then the pay don't come until the washup in the spring. The weather has been very nice here this winter so far. The only cold weather we have had was between the 15th and 22d of November. It got down to 57 deg. below, but since that it has moderated and part of the time it was quite warm. It rained a little on the 7th of this month. The Yukon river did not stop running until the 5th of November, and there is still some open water in sight of here. I think the ice goes out about the first of May, so the winter is not so long here after all. The shortest days are between seven and eight hours long, and everything is not as it is represented on the outside. I don't know what to write about the city of Dawson that will interest you. This letter head contains a picture of the city as it was during the summer, but there has been some changes since then. Log cabins have taken the place of the tents. You can see them in the background, up on the hillside. The business part along the river has changed some for the better. There are two variety theaters and lots of dance houses and saloons, and these are about the only places to go to. I take them in once in a while to pass away the time. I haven't learned to dance though, and don't expect to here, as each dance costs one dollar. Drinks are fifty cents, and you can tell Mr. Bruce that candy sells from one to two dollars per pound, and everything else in that line is away up. There is lots of everything to eat here this winter, but some things are hard to get, as they are held for a fancy price. I have enough laid away to keep me until spring, and besides that I bought a lot and built me a small house, so I have a place of my own to stay in while I am in town. I am all by myself and I get pretty lonesome at times and wish that I was back in Anaheim. Christmas passed off very quietly here. There was nothing going on, except a masquerade ball or two at the theaters after the shows were over. Everything is closed up here on Sundays. I have met several people here whom I knew in the past, but no one from your part of the country. I saw a man that looked like Mr. Rogers, one day in the fall, but didn't get to speak to him, so I don't know if it was him or not. Did he ever come here, or did he go back to Anaheim? I would like very much to meet him if he is here. I have never heard anything from my brother since I left Skaguaay, and would like for you to find out where he is if you can and let me know. I suppose Charley is still there at Anaheim. You can tell him I am well and how I am getting along, and that I will write to him by the next mail. I guess it will go out every two weeks now, as the trail is very good on this end. I don't know how it is on the other end but suppose there is more snow there than here. There will be lots of men go out over the ice this winter. I don't think it is a very hard trip to make. There is a station every thirty miles where a rabbits. Persons in this country need fur from head to foot in midwinter, and light summer clothes in summer. We should have fur stockings, and we will have, if only of rabbit fur. Nov. 26, 1898—The weather underwent a change on the 24th. The temperature went up to zero, and a blizzard blew all day, but we are so well protected in our log cabins that we did not mind it. We spent a very social Thanksgiving together. We had a sumptuous dinner followed by singing, speaking and joking until after ten, when we partook of more refreshments and retired for the night. This morning we got out early and started work before daylight. It was only 20 degrees below zero, and we thought that quite pleasant weather. This evening we heard some one sing out from down the river and soon three men from the camps 15 miles below appeared. They are going to Selkirk and one or more of our party will go with them. Thus I will be able to mail my letter and send for my own mail. We are camped on the Kelly below the McMillan and above the canyon, or swift water, as it is marked on the maps. No one on the river has reached bedrock yet, and until they do the value of their diggings cannot be known. News from home is eagerly looked for. Your loving son, LORING GATES. CLAIR. Notwithstanding the absence of rain and the prospects of a continued scarcity, a large quantity of beets have been planted near the factory. And should a couple of inches of rain materialize the fields would be filled with men and horses in all directions, hurrying 8000 acres into the soil, the result of which will be that quite a number of farmers will pay off their mortgages and others barely enough to pay for thinning and topping. Ed Kennedy is still under the weather but by no means so seriously ill as reported; the prospect is that with the approach of warm weather he may entirely recover, and that is what his many friends hope for. C. Bayha, the new tenant of the Pike place, contemplates erecting a $1000 house, and a couple of windmills for irrigation. Mr. Bayha has recently come from Nebraska, and has recovered his health since his advent to Clair. Tom Robinson's horse took a header into a stock well Monday and was with difficulty extracted. He has got all the dampness he wants this year. With the moon on her back and the geese flying north it looks like as if we would soon have to take our water proofs out of the clothes room; and another sign of something extraordinary going to happen: Ike Williams was seen on a bicycle on Sunday. Ike says he would buy one but he can't get a satisfactory guarantee as to the carrying capacity of the vehicle nor a saddle of suitable proportions. One of the Westminster creameries contemplates building a skimming station near the Benedict depot. The cream will be hauled to Westminster and shipped to Los Angeles via the Newport and Los Alamitos railroad. Clair is looking up as a dairy center and if it keeps at it will soon rival Westminster. The secret of the new industry is the pasture, which owing to the dampness of the land keeps green all the year round. At no place is the water more than four feet from the surface. Henry Grubb Discharged Henry Grubb Discharged A discussion of Mr. Schindler's claim was participated in by Trustees Helmsen, Schwenckert, Rust, Dickel and the Marshall; Helmsen and the Marshal; Helmsen and the Marshal maintaining that the cut was justified; Schwenckert, Dickel and Rusht that the claim should be paid. Finally Mr. Dickel moved as a co-promise, and it was seconded by Mr. Helmsen, that Schindler be paid $65 Carried. Mr. Schwenckert moved that the Clerk's report be filed. The Clerk—Hold on: I can't through yet. The Clerk continued reading figures from his report, tallying with those given in the Treasurer's report on moneys in the three improvement funds, making a total in the treasury $720 03. Recorder Shanley reported the collection of a fine of $10 for a violation section 1 of ordinance 94, by Mr.Sprowl of Norwalk. Fees, $3; covered in the treasury, as per receipt attached $7. All reports were filed. Trustee Helmsen of the Finance Committee reported the auditing of the bill against the city and the examination of the officers' reports, all of which were found to be correct; also the purchase of a car of oil for the power house. Mr. Schwenckert of the Committee Public Improvements reported the putting in of the cranes, the painting in the tanks at the water works with an phaltum, and the painting of the smokestacks at the power house with black paint. Mr. Dickel was given further time to purchase fire extinguishers. The Clerk read the following letters from C.W.Hinchcliffe of the sunshine telephone company, relative to their elimination of the excessive telephone charges between Anaheim and point in northern part of the county: Los ANGLES Cal., Feb 3, 1899. M.Nebelung City Clerk. Anaheim. Ca.Dear Sire: To ask an acknowledge receipt to your letter of this month; we cannot answer without clearance encouragement in matter of obtaining new subscribers in Anaheim and subscribing at Fullerton, or subscribers connected with our Fullerton exchange. The existing switching rate between two cities is 50%. We cannot answer without clearance encouragement in matter of obtaining new subscribers at Anaheim. I believe that I can induce our people to reduce switching rates from 25 cents to 15 cents for a three-minutes' conversation. I shall be glad to take this matter up with the bus person at Anaheim, and will say in advance that we will do all possibly can their behalf. We have no exchange in the Placenta district, but have a large number of subscribers located in that vicinity and between there and Fullerton; you pay us a higher rate than requested by Fullerton office; by reason of which we receive their party lines direct connection with Fullerton. In case it is concluded to change rate as above suggested, we will give the subscribers located in the Placenta district, and will receive such reductions as necessary by affording equal service at equiv cost, with simply additional minimum switching charge between Fullerton and Anaheim. If you people will advise me when it will be convenient to take up this matter, I will seize our representatives to confer with them. Yours truly. C.W.Hinchcliffe. Asst.General Superintendent. The board took up the matter discussed it at some length. Mr. Helmsen said reducing the switching rate between Anaheim and Fullerton from 25 cents to 15 was a small fair, but he supposed it was a case of small favors thankfully received. The board voted to install a telephone in the power house, Trustee Schweinberg I have never heard anything from my brother since I left Skaguay, and would like for you to find out where he is if you can and let me know. I suppose Charley is still there at Anaheim. You can tell him I am well and how I am getting along, and that I will write to him by the next mail. I guess it will go out every two weeks now, as the trail is very good on this end. I don't know how it is on the other end but suppose there is more snow there than here. There will be lots of men go out over the ice this winter. I don't think it is a very hard trip to make. There is a station every thirty miles where a person can stop, if they have the price and want to stop. Well, Mr. McCollum, I guess that I have nothing more to write about at the present time. You can give my best regards to my friends in Anaheim. If any one asks you what I think about them coming here tell them, unless they have money to take them out, they had better stay away. I don't think there will be one out of every hundred who are here now will make a stake that will pay for coming in after. Write soon and let me know all the news and how times are down there. With best regards, I will close. As ever your sincere friend. B. H. PORTER. Loring Gates, son of F. A. Gates of Garden Grove, writes as follows from the gold country to his folks here: FORT SELKIRK, Nov. 23, 1898. Dear Father,—I scarcely know how to begin this letter as I have no way of knowing how many of my letters you have received and have not heard from home since March. Probably you are thinking it must be growing cold where I am and well you might think so. It has been 68 degrees below zero every day for a week or more, not getting warmer than 60 degrees below zero during the middle of the day. I suppose you can scarcely imagine just how this weather would feel; and I am sure I am not capable of describing it to you. It is comfortable enough when we are in our log cabins and have a good fire in our stoves. You can step out doors without a coat for a minute, but scarcely longer, when the cold begins to take hold. You may bundle up as best you can and then stay out of doors only a short time, say two hours at the longest, when you have gone out prepared, and prepared means when you have your face, hands and feet well covered. We find the most trouble to be our feet. No one in camp has anything that will keep their feet from freezing in a short time when they are out doors. You may put on all the socks, moccasins and One of the Westminster creameries contemplates building a skimming station near the Benedict depot. The cream will be hauled to Westminster and shipped to Los Angeles via the Newport and Los Alamitos railroad. Clair is looking up as a dairy center and if it keeps at it will soon rival Westminster. The secret of the new industry is the pasture, which owing to the dampness of the land keeps green all the year round. At no place is the water more than four feet from the surface. Henry Grubb Discharged —Henry Grubb was in town on Monday afternoon, in company of Capt. Wrede, in whose employ he is at the latter's orange grove at Placentia. He was just over from Fullerton, where he had been a short time before discharged by Justice Johnson, in the case growing out of the complaint made against him by George Betts, who charged him with assaulting him with a hammer, the affray occurring at Placentia a week or so ago, as narrated in our columns last week. The hearing came up on Saturday, when there existed such divergence in the testimony of the two parties to the affray, as to which of them struck the first blow, that the Justice took the case under advisement until Monday, when he decided it was a case of quien sabe, and discharged the prisoner. Grubb maintains that Betts struck him first, and that he (Grubb) struck Betts with the hammer while the latter grappled him to throw him. He denies running into the house and locking the door behind him, as stated by Betts, and says the door was nothing but a screen door without a lock. Fine Shoes. Beach & Winslow, the Santa Ana shoe dealers, have moved their shoe stock into their new store in the Bristol and Rowley block, 103 East Fourth st., Santa Ana.

Blossoms, 15 cents a hundred; plants, 2 dozen for 25 cents. Inquire of N. F. Steadman. feb2-2t* The board took up the matter and discussed it at some length, Mr. Helm sen saying the reduction of the switching rate between Anaheim and Fullerton from 25 cents to 15 was a small air fair, but he supposed it was a case of small favors thankfully received. The board voted to install a telephone in the power house, Trustee Schwenckert voting no. Mr. Derge, the local agent of the company was present, and stated that he had secured 7 contracts for new phones—with that of the power house he had 8. The board expressed itself as in favor of more telephones, and the indication are that a small-sized telephone booth will ensue in the immediate future. The board named the following: Board of Health: W. J. Fay, Dr. Bickford, Clerk Nebelung, Marshal Steadman and C. O. Rust. Under the head of new business that Clerk said that assessment time was coming on, and complaints had been heard from property owners who all legged that rates were too high. He gave the board a synopsis of rates assessed and after discussion the board decided to permit them to remain at present. The Clerk was authorized to purchase a letter copying press, as he is going to move the one now in use down to his other office. It might be added the one now in use is his own personal property. Marshal Steadman was authorized to purchase the necessary bunks and blankets for the city bastile. A leaking shut-off cook attached to the city water main in front of the DeCampo hotel was referred to the Marshal. The Clerk read a letter from Attorney Chynoweth, saying that on account of the serious illness of his mother a Sacramento he had been unable to look into the legal aspects of the proposition made the city by Mr. Melrose, offering a block of land for park purposes. How ever in conversation with the Clerk Chynoweth had informed him, so he reported that he did not think the city could enter into an agreement to maintain the city park. Bills to the amount of $758 49 were paid, and the board adjourned. —H. G. Wilshire of Fullerton has filed an agreement with the County Recorder to sell three lots at Fullerton to W. A. Connolly, for $450; $300 cash; and $150 payable in blacksmithing within two years. THE CITY FATHERS. Mr From the Superintendent of the Sunset Telephone Company.

The minutes read that the gentleman had moved that war should be drawn in payment of death's bills. Schwenckert observed that the were incorrect; that Mr. had not made any motion at meeting. Clerk (disposed to take issue)—To what effect? Schwenckert—To any effect. Clerk (eyeing the minutes of his glasses)—I don't see it. Schwenckert—It was the motionrants be ordered drawn in list of bills. Clerk—O yes, here it is. Minutes were corrected, and the of the evening was proceeded. General Steadman reported the col- of $564 60 for lights, water and licenses during January; less commission for collecting deposited with treasurer, Delinquents for water, $9 25; $5 75; total, $15.

The Board of Supervisors have denied the petition of saloon-keepers outside incorporated cities in Orange county asking for a reduction of the county liquor license, which is $200 per year. Under the old ordinance it was $300. Inside incorporated cities it is $20 per year. While Harry Bundy was on his way to his room upon his bicycle on Saturday evening at about 9 o'clock he was run into by a man on a wheel coming around the corner at Stough's blacksmith shop. He was thrown from his wheel, his left wrist badly wrenched and for a time he thought his right collar bone was broken. The other rider, whose identity is unknown, was thrown off his wheel, but it is not thought that he was seriously injured. The city teachers have been "quarantined" against Los Angeles by the School Trustees, on account of the smallpox in that city.

Wilshire of Fullerton has agreement with the County to sell three lots at Fullerton Connolly, for $450; $300 cash payable in blacksmithing two years. Mr. Keyser and the local agent, Mr. Derge, will make an active canvass of our city and vicinity, with the object of installing new phones, and Mr. Hincheliffe promises at the earliest possible moment to give the subscribers to the service, both here and at Fullerton, free switching service. This will bring telephones at Brookshurst, Placentia, the oil wells and those to be installed along the upper ditch into close connection with Anaheim and its wide-wake neighbors across the sandwash, by the "Two Married Men" company, was the most enjoyable exhibition of comedy witnessed here in a long time. Charles E. Schilling, the main feature of the show, is known as probably the most expert bell-ringer in the country. His tuneful melodies upon the bells as well as other instruments, no less then his side-splitting budget of comicities, served first to entertain the large audience and then to plunge them into uproarious laughter from the beginning to the end of the show. The other performers played their parts well, the entertainment being thoroughly enjoyable. Messrs. Scott and Nemetz, the managers of the Opera-house, are determined to bill none but first-class attractions, and have so far more than kept their word with the play-going public. C. W. Hincheliffe, Assistant General Superintendent of the Sunset Telephone and Telegraph Co., was in the city from Los Angeles on Tuesday, in company with H. Keyser, manager of the Los Angeles office, looking over the telephone situation in this city and vicinity. As a result of the visit of these distinguished gentlemen the switching rates for telephoning between this city and Fullerton will probably be reduced from 25 cents to 15 to subscribers of the telephone service in either locality. The charge to non-subcribers will remain at 25 cents. In conversation with Mr. Hincheliffe he stated that he regarded this city and vicinity as one of the most promising fields he had met with on his travels through the State, and he hoped to largely increase the number of telephones in use here. A number of new phones have been applied for, and others will no doubt later come in. His offer is to construct suburban telephone lines running out from this city to any and all points, not within the jurisdiction of any other telephone exchange, the only consideration being that one telephone be taken for each mile of wire, at a monthly rental of $2.50 per month. Inasmuch as the cost of construction of a mile of telephone wire, including royalty on the instruments, poles and other essentials, amounts to $90, it will be seen that the charge for the service is extremely reasonable. Mr. Keyser and the local agent, Mr. Derge, will make an active canvass of our city and vicinity, with the object of installing new phones, and Mr. Hincheliffe promises at the earliest possible moment to give the subscribers to the service, both here and at Fullerton, free switching service. This will bring telephones at Brookshurst, Placentia, the oil wells and those to be installed along the upper ditch into close connection with Anaheim and its wide-wake neighbors across the sandwash, She also leaves a married son, August Seavers, who resides here with his wife and three children. Her married life was one of extreme happiness, and her death comes as a severe blow to her husband, who has the condolence of the entire community in his loss. John Johnson came in from the Virginia Dale mines on Saturday, and narrates quite an interesting experience had by him some six weeks ago while camped near the railroad track not far from Riverside. While he and his son lay in bed in the early evening two Mexicans came along, one of whom was seemingly bent on having a quarrel with the other. He was exceedingly quarrelsome and quite abusive. Both were apparently under the influence of liquor. A short distance further on, three shots were fired and Johnson intuitively reflected that a murder had been committed. A short while after another Mexican came following the two up the track. He was joined by the other, both held a short conversation and then moved off together. Next morning Johnson and his son pulled out for this city, arriving here that evening. The track walker, wending his way over the roadbed at the point of the shooting, came upon the body of a Mexican whom the cars had run over and cut to pieces. Johnson saw the item in the papers, and going to the Santa Fe depot informed Agent Clabaugh of the occurrence, and had him telegraph the Sheriff of Riverside county to examine the body. This was done, and three bullet-holes were discovered on the body. It is supposed that after shooting his companion the Mexicans placed the body upon the railroad to have it run over and cover up the murder. The two Mexicans were placed under arrest as they were about to skip to Arizona, and Johnson has been subpoenaed to appear as a witness at the trial, which comes off at Riverside in a few days. —The Rev.
