down. There is none Of IL In which the
gold is not distinctly visible and most Of

THIS camp Of Forty Mile was discovered
last summer and is the richest yet struck
in Alaska, paying $500 day to the man.
The nature Of the Yukon country is such
that it is a tolerably hard place to get to.
The honorable class of old.time miners
have possession, and tough characters
when found, are at once ordered to leave,
several having come out recently.
/ will give you prices Of few articles
in Forty Mile: Flour, $l4 per 100 pounds |;
bacon, 33 cents per pound; beans, 20
cents, and canned fruits 80 cents. A
Mackinaw shirt costs IS and pair Of
gum boots one ounce Of gold dust. Now
comes the root Of all evil whisky. This
sells for so cents drink and IS bottle.
You can buy everything a miner needs
for less than you can take it in for, as the
natives will charge 13 cents a pound to
carry it over the mountains, distance of
thirty miles, and no one should take any
thing with him except clio hing.

which insures a cure in about one

before it becomes serious, A trou-

Winthrop is the name of this city,

Winthrop is located on a beauti-
full, high plateau, midway between

city of consequence nearer than
Texarkana, and being only six
miles from the Indian Territory,
may hope for big trade from this
fertile region.
