CHICAGO, July H. Vice President p.
b. Wearo, OF the North American
Transportation and Trading Co., has
received dispatches from the Klondylxe
placer gold fields OF Alaska. which con
firm the stories of its fabulous wealth
received from the Pacific coast during
the past week. The steamship Port
land. of the North American Co, ar
rived at Seattle, Wash, from its semi
annual expedition within week, and
bears 81, 600, 900 IN gold dust from the
Yukon fields. The dispatch sums up
the yield Of dust and nuggets In that
Eldorado country during the year las
approximately $1,000, 900.
The letter Ia from Capt John J..
IIealy who has piloted crafts for the
North American Co. through the wind

There is no doubt" said Mr.. Weare,
that the veins OF gold are only partly
uncovered. All my dispatches agree
that this Is the continuation of the
mother vein In this country. Won
Humboldt, upon his visit to Dutch Har-
Dor. near Bristol bay, predicted that
the mother vein would show itself in
Alaska in parallel line. Everything
indicates the truth OF this prophecy.
Circle City and Fort Cudahy were
the principal gold fields before the
Kpnayke fields were discovered last
tat and the rush for those fields has
continued since. Gold fields have also
been discovered OF great value in the
vicinity of the Niatak river, which is
in British territory. but the travel has
been and continues to be toward the
Yukon fields.
Mr.. Weare has also news of q new
discovery of gold fields. hitherto un-
touched, near the mouth OF the Tanana
river which is the second largest river
Of Alaska and enters the Yukon at the
town of Weare.
