The Yukon country maintains its high reputa- tion for yields of gold in it's placer mines. Last season fnlly Sl,200,000 in gold dust and nuggets was taken out. There is every prospect of much larger returns for this season. As many as five hundred miners wintered in the Yukon district the past winter. They tunneled under the frozen surface of the ground and brought out tons of rich gravel. They are now engaged in washing it out
