ON THE TURN OF A COIN.
How Klondike Miners Determined
the Food Question - Famine
May BE Broken.

The turn Of a coin for grab.
This was the way two miners on Birch
creek settled between them which should
leave good pay dirt and go out for food.
They were Frank Peterson and Frank
Sperry. The former lost in the hip-up or
the coin and is here TO tell the story. He
came down on the South Coast with
enough mone~ to keep him comfortably
through the winter and to buy an outfit of
provisions for the trip to the Yukon next
spring.
Peterson says that hundreds Of miners
in the Yukon have been face TO face with
the same question that confronted him,
and have settled Ii much as did he and his
partner. They worked on several claims
on Birch creek and Mastodon creek. Said
Peterson:
There are many good claims IN the
vicinity Of Circle City. The district would
have turned out a lot of gold but for the
fact that the stampede to the klondike
left the miners at Circle City short of help.
Wages have been so per day all winter.
and the claim owners have made lots Of
money"
Charles Clarke of Portland, Or. Is an
other Birch creek miner who was evicted
from the golden region by the grim spec
ter OF starvation. Clarke went Into the
Yukon last spring. He reached Dawson
City In May, but found nothing to his
I'm a small boat as far as Circle City. and
secured work at SO per day on Birch
creek He says the claims are as good
there as anywhere.
ION Deadwood creek the pans ran last
winter from cents TO sf2. Nuggets were
taken out Weighing as high as $50 $50 and
$50. Gerry Heater and Charley Eaton
took out some of the biggest nuggets from
the district There viii be ample supplies
at Circle City for those who are left TO
winter there"
Clarke says that there Is good reason
for believing that three steamer loads OF
food will get mp the river this fall. They
are the Alaska Commercial Company $
steamer Bella. and the North American
Transportation and Trading Company 5
steamers Alice and Weare. All Of these
were at St. Michael loading provisions
when the South Coast left. The Bella was
started up the river towing a barge loaded
with provisions and supplies.
IF there is anything like late fall,
these steamers will reach Dawson City all
right" said Clarke last night If they
do the situation on the klondike will be
materially relieved.
If on the other hand, the river freezes
up early and there is little water on the
bars. these steamers VIII not get beyond
Forty Mile or Circle City. Last Septen-
Der the steamer Arctic was frozen up in
September at Forty Mile. and the Bella
got stuck at Fort Yukon"
