Brady, Governor Of Alaska, sent to Sec
rotary Bliss a personal letter, in which
he gives interesting facts about the rush
for the Klondyke region. Writing
from Juneau he says;
. Steamships are passing daily for
Dyea and Skaguay loaded to the utmost
with passengers and supplies. The news
just from Klondyke by reliable men is
calculated to raise the excitement to a
higher pitch. The shipment OF dust
for the mouth of the Yukon will be all
of two and half tons. Rich finds have
been made well up on the sides of the

Gold IS where you find it. and silver
