Public Gold rIeksd " - Y
p n: z the DaskstfuI. !.
When the first rich discoveries Of
gold on the Klondtke was hsralded
forth to an astoniShed world three
months ago, the topic - once became
one Of absorbing interest. Nothing
else was thought Of or talked Of for
weeks. The papers teemed with It.
People were over-powered by the mag.
nitude Of the riches actually found
and by those known to DO in store for
the future. High tension produces q
resultant quietude. With the close Of
navigation the papers dropped the sub
ject for time and people partially put
It from their minds In order to attend
to present and pressing matters. Tho
most casual observer Is certain that
the new year will witness = world
wide revival Of this interest compared
with which the late enthusiasm was
but a speck. In fact, such revival has
now appeared in the recent accounts
OF finds on the gulches, where nuggets
are picked up by the basketful. The
investors in all lines who reap the big
gest profits are those who anticipate
the public Every one will want Yu-
kon mining stock in the spring. Those
who buy now will get the best and
reap the largest profits.
