 REINDEER CREEK empties into the Yukon about forty miles above Dawson and ten above Indian River. Gold was found there shortly after the 100-foot regulation went into effect. Good prospects are reported and the creek is fully staked.
 SIXTY MILE RIVER empties into the Yukon about fifty miles above Dawson. About thirty men have been working there for some two years, sending out each season for provisions. Little is known as to what they are finding, but there is considerable spec ulation about it.
 HENDERSON CREEK empties into the Yukon from the north, about fifty miles above Dawson. It has been To- cated from the mouth to the left fork right fork to 70. The locating was principally done by the men who were frozen in by the closing of the river, while they were on their way to Daw- son. A large colony was stopped on the Stewart River. Little is known about Henderson Creek, as it has not been much prospected. It's principal tributaries are Golden Gate Creek, Sixty Creek and North Fork. The best pay has been developed at the mouth of Sixty Creek. Henderson is seventy five miles long.
 ROSEBUD CREEK flows into the Yukon about sixty miles above Daw- son. It has been staked for it's entire length, and excellent prospects have been reported from it.
 STEWART RIVER-The Stewart River country has been long spoken of as rich in gold, but further than the fact that the bars at it's mouth have yielded good wages to few prospect ors for years, little is known of it to this day. It empties into the Yukon seVenty-fve miles above Dawson. Much interest is felt in the results of the prospecting now being done and which will continue during this sum- mer. A townsite is located at the mouth, and the Canadian Government will establish a post there.
 McQUESTEN CREEK enters the Yukon from the same side about 100 miles above Dawson, and has it's rise near the source of the Stewart. Plat mum has been found in this river
 WHITE RIVER-The White River empties into the Yukon from the west, eighty-fiVe miles above Dawson. A party of fourteen men, headed by Latham, Pond and Fairbanks, of San Francisco, have been prospecting there and report that they are well satisfied with their finds. A big stampede took place into this region in March. The White River is a large stream and can
 
 BIG AND LITTLE SALMON AND WALSH CREEKS-Quite a colony of people were frozen In at both the Big and Little Salmon rivers, thirty-seven miles apart and 300 miles above Daw- son and 290 from Dyea. Among them were Major Walsh, Commissioner (Governor) of the Northwest Territory, and the newly appointed officials of the Territory. Some prospecting and stampeding took place in the neigh borhood by the colonists, and Walsh Creek was named, staked and pros pected somewhat. It was the one creek talked about this side of Salmon River. I was told that S2 10 had been taken out of three pans in the gravel
 MOOSEHIDE-Going down the Yu- kon from Dawson the first creek in the mining lists is Moosehide. It is small stream, coming into the big river just below the town. It was fully staked early in the winter, but no finds worth talking about are reported.
 DEADWOOD CREEK is a little fur ther down, about four miles from the town. Two or three of the most re- markable stampedes of the early and late winter took place there, and the creek is staked all the way up on both branches. Some big prospects were re- ported from the creek bottom and gravel in the fall. Prospecting was being carried on during the winter, shaft being sunk on discovery claim just below the forks.
 FORTY-MILE RIVER is about fifty miles below or west of Dawson. It is one of the oldest stations on the river, and has a number of tributaries that were formerly considered rich diggings, especially Miller Creek, at one time the richest diggings in the country It Is largely deserted now but attention is being redirected to them as with other diggings on the American side.
 BOUNDARY CREEK-A long stride down stream is made from this point to Boundary Creek, at the line between British and American territory. Dis covery was recorded in February, and a stampede followed that took up the whole creek. The discoverers claim to have found to 9 cents on the rim rock and 15 cents to $1 30 in the gravel. Prospectors declare this creek will prove among the richest of the late discoveries.
 It is situated about eighty-five to ninety miles below Dawson. The boun- dary line crosses the creek about a quarter of mile above its mouth this quarter r-mile being in Canadian terri tory. The balance of the creek is in Alaska.
 AMERICAN and MISSION CREEKS Mission Creek is twenty miles fur ther down stream. and American Creek, it's largest tributary, has attracted one of the greatest stampedes of the win- ter. A hundred men at least travelled down there from Dawson to stake American Creek is not a new field. Many claims were being worked at a good profit, according to pre-Bonanza estimates, but they were deserted when the big finds were made on the Klon- dike Some of these claims lapsed through neglect, and it was to recover them that the stampede was started from Dawson. Others following took up the new ground until the whole creek was staked.
