 MT. Henry Saxon, who started to K1ondyke a few months ago, returned last Thursday from Juneau, where he learned enough to convince him that the famed gold region is a good coun- try to stay away from. James liar din, who was with him, arrived this morning. Both report that returned Klondykers deny the reports of fabu- lous rich strikes in the country trib- utary to Dawson. They say that at Skagway men are dying like sheep with the plague. We congratulate Messrs. Hardin and Saxon upon their good sense in turning back.-Willcox News.
