A NEW STAMP EIDE

This News Reached Juneau,
Alaska, Last Night.
EQUAL TO KLONDIKE

Juneau, Alaska, Feb 2. by Steamer City
of Seattle, Victoria, Feb. 5.-A stampede
from Dawson is imminent. The news Of
great gold discoveries on Stewart river
was brought out by party of about a
dozen men which reached Skaguay on
January %, several of whom reached here
by small steamer the evening of the
same day. Among them was George
McKenna of Douglas Island, who has
been in the Yukon for two years. This
is the very latest from the Klondike. as
four men in the party left Dawson as late
as December 26.
A party of "A left Dawson on December
19 for ST. Mary river. They intended
to prospect the Stewart river up its course
to and into the Rocky mountains. Gold has
always been found in the bars of the
Yukon. For years the sand banks of the
Stewart have produced gold, and in some
places there has been a rich yield to the
pan.
AS much of the gold in the Yukon came
doubtless from the Klondike and its un-
equaled rich tributaries-BOnanza, Edo
rado, Hunker and other creeks-it is ar
gued that SO also the gold in the Stewart
river bars may come from the same situ-
alton and from deposits equally as rich.
Two new creeks have been discovered.
One is in the Klondike district. Here the
seven feet of pay dirt to work. The rich
est creek is in the Indian river district in
the same vicinity. Eighty cents pan
was found in this district a few inches
below the surface with bedrock many
feet below. This said to equal anything
found at first on Bonanza or EldOradO.
There was q stampede to the Indian river
district as soon as the discovery became
known
