young seats,eite who has net With such
success In tho Kiondske. arrived in Sat
tie yesterday morning on the steamer Aus
tralia, direct from Dawson. Il was .
great surprise to his friends. who did no
expect him unit, the river opened and the
epring cleanup had been made. Bar
r.ngton evidently does not mind trip
up the Yukon Cor 90 miles. for he made
Il that he might enjoy two weeks In the
Queen City. Al the end OF that time

II left Dawson on March Is" said 4r
Harrington yesterday to Poss-Intelligen-
Ger reporter, In company with Thomas
Canid. OF Snohcmish We made the trip
up the river In rather slow time. as We
had to snewshoe for over 30 miles and
had bad wind to contend with. We
had good team Of four dog& WHICH cost
US N.ooo in gold at Dawson. We LEFT the
dogs at Sheep Camp. where ! Win pick
them up again in few weeks.
Now, don't AK me to estimate how
much gold 10 going to come out OF the
Yukon. am afraid to state what really
believe. Ny estimate, after careful hgur-
Ing and personal observation, Is 40 large
that I am afraid I would be considered
crazy"
On being pressed to give his opinion in
spite Of what people would thtEk about
1t, Darlington said:
S Il can't figure out how less than fifty
tons OF gold can be cleaned up this year.
1t may run TO sixty TONS All of the creeks
are panning out so well after little work
ing that the output will undoubtedly be
much larger than most people estimate.
II am very we'll satisfied with my Klon-
dixie experience have two claims and
an interest ia third. I own No. % below
on Sulphur. which will undoubtedly turn
out very rich. Also below on All Gold.
/ have an interest in Is on Nine-Mile
creek, In the Indian river district. Ny
claim on All Gold has not been prospected
yet, but the surrounding claims are show
ing up very well. On 30 below on sulphur
L get from . cents to Si7 per pan. and
have all kinds of gravel.
tom Caniff. OF Snohomish. who came
out with me, Is also well TO do. He has a
rich claim In No. q below on Sulphur and
II above on Gay Gulch will pay well. Gay
gulch branches on the Eldorado. 10 on
Gay is one Of the richest claims in the
entire country.
I'VE could get little definite information
regarding Walsh and Lake creeks. don't
believe much work has been done or that
the creeks viii par out very much. I met
Matt Nunnan. OF this city, at the foot Of
Lake Lebarge. He was stampeding for
Walsh creek. We told him the state OF
affairs and persuaded him to push on
through 10 Dawson.
One OF the greatest sight ever saw in
my life was coming across Lake Bennett
few days ago. The wind was blowing a
small-siGed gale down the lake. and hun
drefs Of boats were sailing along under
its force at a great rate. They carried big
loads and made great time. We passed
the, scene OF the Chilkoot disaster on Sat-
tsurday night. AT Sheep Camp I met Cal
Harrison and was With him Until o'clock
Sunday morning. About he started up
the trail and reached the Scales all right.
With the others he got frightened, and In
attempting TO reach Sheep Camp ran into
the slide that caused his DEATH
