 When asked as to t. @ foed supply MT. Mallory said that st the time he left and for three weeks prior no boats had arrived with provisions for the trading posts and that both the large stores were virtually closed and nothing was being sold, and that actual starvation confronts thos3 who go in without a winters suppy of food. No work will be given 70 any men who are not pientifully supp jed with provisions Even to those who remain the hariships will bz terrible. fox there are ~. houses and living 50 to 70 degrees below zero wi en- tail untold suffering.

 Hunlser creek and Gold B1ttom creek, it is conceded, will equal if mt rival tie already famous B nanza and Eldorado creeks More especial ly is this true of Hunker creek: loca- tion No. 8 on that creek is among the richest in the Kondyke district. Mir. Malony has a nugget which he says weighs $45 in vaiue, from claim No. 32. Many of the claims on this creek will run s2,O9O to the box.
 MT. Malony was asked to give some specific data about in1ivi-ual claims Ills reply was that he was afraid of being accused of lying, but he con- sen.ed to respond to the request.

 How much gold will come cut thi: fall? MT Malony was asked. Why over $2,OO0.0CO," he replie1. 'Tlert are stacks and stacks of gold, tht property of the miners. each with th' owners name tab,eted on-'
 Who will produce the g-eases amcunt of gold, MT Malony?''
 Why, Alex Mcdonald. I hasita to give figures, but the simple trutl is that his various interests vii yield from $2,0Q0,000 to $4,0OO ,0O0 thi. winter. These figures are Staggering but true. Pat Calvin h3s very ricl claim on No. 35 Bonanza; it is enc O the richest in the distric. He is als, interested in Hunkar and Gold Bot tom creeks" gs
 A conversation with Mr. Malony or the subject of the total yield brough out an extraordinary state of thir z with respect to the amount of gol which would be produced. "I vii say again. said MT. Malony, 'tha I don't want to be quoted as givin it as my opinion, but, it is general stated that it might be anvthin from S15,000,000 to $30,000, coo"
 Have you any reason from wha you saw to doubt this?'' NO, I hay not,' was the abrupt answer. M MaIony says the cattle got in a right, and if facilities existed fo bringing out miners over 5O0 woul have come over the Dalton trai Fourteen ho.sas and a parry left Pc Iu riu on hoy to acT1
