Currently 17 Houses
As prostitute caves opened here, a great number of prostitutes who heard the news gathered from all over across the city and province. Among them are many who were hiding in Victoria and traveled all the way here.
The caves were launched on January 23. In the beginning the district was incredibly busy with carpentry work in the houses but that has been finished and now it has been turned into a place from another world. We know the number of houses but are unsure about the number of prostitutes. This is because they tend to move between places, which makes it difficult to determine the number this week based on the number counted in the previous week. However, we do know the number of prostitutes in the end of last month based on the considerable amount of investigation done by our contract worker, through his contacts:
#502: 5
#506: 3
#510: 4
#512: 4
#516: 1
#518: 2
#520: 3
#524: 5
#627: 1
#639: 8
#645: 3
Besides this, the former Inlet View Rooming House has been renovated into a prostitutes’ cave and has 9 whites on the second floor, 13 blacks on the third floor, each of which has its independent operation. But those in 502 are mostly Americans, and 524 and 526 are mostly French. 612 is the largest and has 18 prostitutes as indicated above but they only take white customers and absolutely exclude Asians. Furthermore, this house is operated by some white who owns a hotel in the city and used his reputed sporting skin to hire a woman whom he knows to run the business. But there are in fact two managers and one of them is called Spenser, although this name is not verifiable. All in all, there are many Americans but also many Italians and French. We speculate that ages range from 18 to 30.
Currently, #514 is under construction and we have not done much investigation into when it will be finished, but at least it is clear that a great number from Spokane will crash down on it.
