VELOPMENT OF INDUSTRIES IN THE wet
AND THE KLONDIKE REGION
The fact that New-York is the financial and
commercial centre Of the country makes il an
objective point for all persons who have inter-
ests the development Of which requires the ex-
penditure of large Of money. The man
Who mas staked a claim in the Far West knows
that by bringing the attention Of Eastern cap
lfalists to bear upon IL be can obtain the means
ior successfully working 1t and making ii yield
wealth not only for himself but for others
cerned. 1t matters not whether the mine to be
worked contain silver, gold. copper or other
metal the New-York man with money is ready
10 take hand in It's development
the possibility Of profit is conveyed to him. The
speculative instinct Is strong here. and for this
reason promoters OF mines find il to their inter
est to present their claims in the metropolis
Tie recent development Of the Klondike has
resulted In the forming of companies for the
purpose or promoting claims in that region.
Certain of these companies control large tracts
of land in the Klondike, and are in position to
cHer superior Inducements to would be invest
ors They also engage In the Alaskan trans
portation business, and control steamers to
carry passengers and freight to the Klondike
country. In this connection the following ex-
tract from the official Government report of S
c. Durham will be of interest
THE mines of the Klondike district yielded
during the season Of 1868 nearly So 600 COO
most extraordinary figure when it Is consd-
cred that the period Of active operations on most
OF the claims was less than eight months and
that probably less than six hundred men were
engaged in productive mining operations
There is no doubt that the output would have
been double had it been possible to secure min
ers. For the present season 0S07-'9S) many
enthusiastic mine owners predict that the output

place ii at from $S000.OOO to S1OOO0OOO
Throughout the mineral zone, which extends for
one thousand miles through the Yukon BASIN
there are many creeks, . which cannot be
worked prontably under present conditions. but
which will furnish employment to thousands of
men for a long period Of years when improved
transportation facilities furnish supplies at
sonable prices. Large areas of placer ground
will yield 81 to $40 per day to the man. and
under the application Of hydraulic processes will
eventually produce many Millions
