with Excellent Prospects.

with Excellent Prospects.
John Ericsson has made q discovery
over in Secret Canyon which may prove
OF considerable Importance. Several
counties Of the State are just now deeply
interested in gold mining going on within
their various districts. particularly Elko,
Humboldt and Washoe-and now En-.
reks looms up with q new showing in an
old district.
The find is located about four miles
south Of town. in Secret Canyon. The
ledge does not appear to be very clearly
defined, but seems to run nearly north
and south. It's width is not yet definitely
sseertained. but excavations SO far made
on the groupings indicate il to be not
less than fifteen feet wide. Two assays
have been made, one showing sl4 As in
silver and SIS so in gold; and the other
81 80 in silver and s34 in gold.
But little can yet be said as to the
probable extent Of this new discovery,
as the owners, John Ericsson and Josh
Tingley. have only just completed their
corner monuments and location notices,
and made but q quick surface examina.
tion and q few shallow excavations seek
ing to determine the probable outer lin.
its Of the ledge; the above width so far
found and the assays mentioned, how.

greeable odor about the offices and cor
ridors. The Commissioners have been
having this old wooden mistake re-

five feet beneath the stills. they having

THE KLoNDYKE ExCrrEmxNT.

At this time. when the imagination is
sglow with the wild dreams Of having
untold wealth in o few adventurous
weeks in the great Alaskan gold fields.
il may be Of some interest TO make . few
comparisons Of the richness Of those far.
away treasures with the nearby golden
sands Of our sister State just over the
western border. The following 10 from
the San Francisco Areonaut Of the Goth
inst. /:
There is much talk Of the richness Of
the Kloudyke placers, but they are not
for 9 moment to be compared to the
richness Of the California pIacers. Over
two hundred millions in gold were taken
out Of the placers Of two California coun.
ties slone-El Dorado and Placer. As
for California mines generally. il is safe
betting that the Klondyke district will
never equal CAlifornia's record. As yet
only about 81. 500. 900 in gold has come
from the Klondyke district. This
10 the result Of more than one years
work by about three thousand people.
In several cases the returned miners
have been prospecting in Alaska for from
three to four years, and n miner sd.
mits having been at work there since
1881, this being bis first big strike. Yet
about . million and . half is the total
product Of the Klondyke-let US say of
only a year, to give il the most favor
able showing. Yet in only . part Of the
year Of discovery = lS4S = Cslifornia's
placers produced over s.. 200. 900; in
lS49, 1913. 900. 900; 10 1850, $50, GOO, 900;
in 1851, $50. 600. 900; in 1852. $50. 0OO.-
900; in 1853. s65. 600. 900. From this
year the product Of the plaoers declined,
but as late as 1861 they were still pro-
ducing $40. 600. 600 annually. The total
output Of the California mines from lS48
to 1896, inclusive, according to Nc.
Carty's "Statisticisn," is 81. 2S3. lis. GOA.
We very much doubt whether the Klon-
dyke district, or ell Alaska, for that
matter, will ever equal this record Of one
and one-fourth billions of dollars. But
California's gold mines are still produc-
ing ct the rate Of over fifteen millions .
year. or about one and Q half millions .
month. Thus this State still produces
more gold every month than the Klon.
dyke district has produced in more than
twelve months"
In another article in the same paper,
too long to be republished here, the edi-
tor in closing an editorial on the Klon.
dyke, says that il lie already announced
that the claims have ell been taken up.
and that. while they will later support .
population OF Eve thousand there 10 not

who are there ct the present time. There
are probably other bonanzss 70 be dis
covered. but the Klondyke claims were
found only after the country had been
~prospeotsd for ten years. A new mining
country 10 always attractive, but many
who rush to Alaska on account Of this
new craze will probably live to regret
that they turned their backs upon Cali.
fornis, which will continue to give good
returns to the miner long after the pres.
emit generation has passed away.
