most reliable men from Dawson City say
that no such amount of money will come,
as it has not been taken out of the ground.
One miner who came down places the
outside figure at S1,00O,OOO lei Dorado
and Bonanza Creeks. where the richest
strikes have been made, have been staked
for many miles, but desirable claims are
scarce and the prospectors are beginning
to scatter out.
Hundreds of miners are locking toward
the Stewart river, the second largest
branch of the Yukon, and hundreds OF
prospectors will undoubtedly be on it's
banks and bars within the next few
months Although the bars of the mann
river have been successfully worked FOR
the last ten years, there has practically
been no real prospecting done on the many
important tributaries. Everywhere that
the explorers and scattering prospectors
have gone in the Stewart and it's branches
gold has been found. On many creeks the
prospects were extra good. Several Things
have ccnspired to leave this field practical
Nv untouched. The question OF gettlng
SUPPLIES is very serious one. At the
same time the few hundred men who nave
heen on the Yukon up to last year have
found sufficiently attractive dlgglngs near
err to the older districts and closer to sup
nlv bases. The Indians also have super
stition regarding a powerful and savage
tribe who live on the upper part OF the nv
or and whom they call the "Mahonles'
and consequently will not go up the river
any great distance.
From the mouth of Stewart over to the
north fork the distance is estimated ut 400
miles. and to the head of this fork IN the
vicinity of 500 miles in all. The south
fork is practically unexplored. One or
two persons have been on it, and then not
for \ sufficient distance to determine its
character or length. The prospectors and
those who have been on the river say that

second largest feeder of the Yukon The
frst gold discoveries on the Stewart were

miles from the mouth. These were rich.
Durin. the fall, in less than fifty days
time. as high as $4,000 to the man was
rocked ont. In 1856 fully 100 men were
working on the river bars with good sue
cess. Some went up the north fork nearly
70 it's head. Each succeeding season the
bars have been worked until now they do
mt nav wages.

If the senior Senator of this state is not too
old to learn, and will take course of instruc-
ton from the junior Senator on how to boss
a state, he may be able to get some of the
first principles into him in time, which may
be useful to him in after life. Of course he
can't expect to learn, at his age, how to throt-
tie a Governor, stampede a Legislature, to
hold up Congressional delegation, or even
to muzzle an immigration commissioner; but
there are great many little things, such as
how to paralyze mayor, or how to fool Demo-
Gratis, that the senior Senator might get use
full pointers on. In fact, in the immortal
